Town festival (2)

Leon and I exited at the back gate of the palace. Because we will go incognito, we must also get out of the palace silently.

When we were out of the palace, we walked a little distance and we arrived at a place were a tall man with a ponytail was standing with a horse.

"Thank you." Leon smiled.

The tall man gave the reigns of the black horse to Leon.

"Isn't this your horse Midnight?" I asked.

"Yes he is." Leon said. "You are very observant." He smiled at me.

I looked at the tall young man that was standing next to Midnight. He looks familiar but I can't seen to remember where I met him.

"Good morning princess Alicia." The tall young man slightly bowed before me. I nodded back at him. "I am Dimitri. I am sir Leon's retainer." He smiled at me.

"Had I met you before?" I blurted out of curiosity.

Dimitri seemed to be uneasy.

"You might have seen him once when he went to meet me." Leon smiled.

"Umm, maybe?" I said still confused.
