Chapter 3

Armin knew this man was a noble hence why he called him lord, however, he did not expect to see this...

The walls of the city alone made it look impenetrable it was so high one would have to look up even at a distance to see the top the walls were made of what appeared to be some sort of stone. Along the wall were several square holes where one could see the tiny faces of lookouts and archers, in some you could even see huge cannons.

Their carriage was trodding along slowly towards the huge gate that was at least 50 meters high, The two people inside the carriage had still not said a word but Nulla decided that he would break the silence, "Ignore all the commoners, don't even spare them a glance."

"I was not planning on talking to scum anyway..."

Nulla raised an eyebrow and said, "You've developed a hatred for them I see, is it because no one helped your mother?"

"They beg from those above them and expect what they ask for, however, give nothing to those below them...Hypocrites." Armin said coldly.

Nulla thought on this, ' Quite wise however he was once a hypocrite himself."

They reached the gate at this and as soon as the guards saw the insignia on the carriage they walked up checked the face of Nulla and stepped back immediately, letting the carriage through.

"Why do they check their own lord? Surely they should let you in seeing the insignia..." questioned Armin.

"What if the carriage was highjacked? They could infiltrate the city." NUlla replied.

"Hmm that is true, but I assume you have quite the strength, they would have to be very powerful for them even to attempt that." Armin narrowed his eyes.

"You are intelligent you should use your head more kid."

"What do you mean?"

"Do you really think I am the only one that uses these carriages? My family could also get highjacked in one of their carriages," stated Nulla coldly.

"I see, I should have thought about that..." Armin said as he looked a

Out the window again.

They once more fell into silence as they approached a massive palace.

Armin was skeptical, "You're not a king right why do you live in a palace?"

Nulla once more looked at the kid and said, "I am a high-class maju and natural pure born (refers to the nobles who have no common blood in their lineage) the King rewarded me this land and palace for my exploits in battle... The kingdom of 'Lostforse'. It was named this when it was rebuilt over three hundred and twenty-four years ago by the current King after we lost this fortress in the war, it was called 'Fortforse' at that time. However, we reclaimed it and won the war I was the commander of the force that reclaimed hence it was given to me after the war."

Armin was quite impressed. 'It seems the king is quite generous to nobles.'

At that, they reached the palace entrance where a massive drop bridge fell...

Leagh's pov

Father had left about three weeks ago to find medicines at one of the forest shamans(basically witches however they brew medicines.') for mother while I was left alone of course I continued my training and studies of course I would I'm going to become the greatest sword maju of all time! *hmph*

As she was rambling about she heard a familiar sound that brought her joy even though she'd never admit it, she heard the sound of the drop bridge! She quickly ran out of her room infusing nae into her calves and feet making her accelerate at an unbelievable speed, however in doing this she made a huge mess because of the wind created by her speed, knocking over paintings and vases. She reached the entrance quickly and crossed her arms put on her best angry face and waited...

*creak* the doors opened and she was just about to scream at her father for leaving her alone for three weeks straight when she saw an extremely handsome young boy around her age based on looks, he had pure white hair and silver eyes? She couldn't take her eyes off him he was too strange.

Armin looked at the beautiful red-haired girl.

After a while of staring they both said their thoughts aloud

""Beautiful""...
