"wow, what is this stella, ?" ask lucilia who hold some kind of food in her arm.

"is call crepe, why don't you try and dig in, i'm sure you love it," say stella who eat her creep but unlike lucilia strowberry crepe, stella was a chocolate one.

'man, is still really good,' though stella who at really enjoy her crepe, not noticing lucilia who was looking at stella.

"hm, what is it, ?" ask stella to lucilia who just look away and eat her crepe.

"n-nothing," say lucilia who start to bite her strowberry crepe.

"Is delicious," say lucilia who at that time eating the food like she never anything for a hold year.

"By the way, i heard that my family ask you to be my fiancee," say lucilia to stella.

"Yes, that right," say stella who decide to tell the true to lucilia since it will be a bigger problem if she try to found out herself.

"I'm sorry," say lucilia who look down while having a sad face, first because of her, the relationship between her family and royal family shatter, and now she making an unknown person who heal eye become her fiancee, she really is just a burden.

"For what, ?" Ask stella doesn't seem to get what lucilia mean.

"For making you become my fiancee, i know you feel a lot of pressure because of me, so if you don't want to continue this relationship, i understand, i talk to my fathe-"

"I don't mind at all," say stella who interupt lucilia, is true that she feel a big burden on her because of this, but not the way lucilia think.

She feel that lucilia is way out her league, she was the daughter of a noble, an archduke, who hold a power that was second to the royal family, stella herself doesn't has anything she can be proud of.

Status, she just a bodyguard that was recently hired by the duke. Wealthy, no matter how much money stella has right now, there is no way she has near the amount of the archduke wealth, furthurmores she was just an orphan with unknown background who doesn't even know here she come from.

"Are you sure about this, ?" Lucilia ask to stella.

"Yes, i already made up my mind," say stella who show luclia a sincere smile to lucilia to convince her that she was being serious.

"I-i see, then from now one, please take care of me," say lucilia who bow her head to her fiancee, the same goes for stella as they decide to go to a few place before they decide to go home since lucilia eye already in pain.

"Thank stella, i had a lot of fun," say lucilia to stella who nod before lucilia walk toward stella and give her a kiss on her cheek.

"O-ok then, bye," say stella who was blushing while at that time lucilia watching stella run toward the gate with a smile on her face.

On the morning stella do her routine like usual as she got beaten up by the instructur ergi once again, but from the look of it, stella already give instructur ergi a hard time.

By the time they were done, stella was ask by the head butler to come to the duke office where the duke himself got a mission for stella.

"I'm sorry for the sudden call, but i got an urgent mission for you," say the duke to stella who nod before the duke continue.

"As you know that in this few month has been really hard for the kingdom to operate since the lost we got from the war, because of that a lot of criminal activity has been very active recently, especially the mountain bandit who was terorising the merchant who come here, and rob them," say the duke to stella who descript the mission fo her.

"Stella, your job is to exterminate those bandit, of couse you won't do it alone, you will be accompany by the the royal knight that was send by the king itself to solve the bandit problem," say the duke to stella who then exit from his offcie and get ready to go.

"My name is stella auburt, i was request by the duke to help on this mission," say stella to them who nod, confirm stella identity as they let stella in.

"I'm the one who in charge of this unit, my name is lilith starker, nice to meet you," say lilith to stella who shake their hand.

"By the way, do you know a person name glenn, ?" Ask stella as she descript the person to lilith, as she herself has the same black hair and eye like him.

As they arrive at the mountain they decide to rest since is was almost night, and because right now they were on the enemy teritory.

"Hei, keep it down, if you don't i'm gonna kill that baby," say the bandit who make the mother nod her head, as she quickly calm down her baby.

'Please god save us,' though the mother who was despreately ask for the god to help them.

Early in the morning, stella and the other are ready to destory rhe mountain bandit, as they quickly surround their lair.

"Wow, look at that," say one of the knight who look at the stolen item that the bandit get, from a sword and armor to almost everything.
