Will soon arrive in front of Baron Cullian's home, and beside me reside the sleeping little miss who was covered in bruises while Lucia rode with Adrian.
    
    First of all, we left afterwards and let the knight take care of everything. Eventually when I said to leave this woman behind, she awakened and begged me to come like someone from Fairy Tale stories about a knight and a fair lady rescued by a knight or sort of novels.
    
    I ended up taking her with us anyways. The only problem is how will I explain this to the Cullian Couples now that I look more like a man instead of a lady. She will— the madam will surely scold me for being careless again . She might not know that father is here, probably turning the port upside down for my existence to be found.
    
    Or, I'll just not attend with Lucia as she goes home. 
    
    We didn't want him to worry anymore and so I sent a letter stating that I escaped the prison and went back to the inn where we stayed yesterday. I also told him that we will go back to the mansion and thus he needs not to worry anymore.
    
    I'm afraid that I'll be punished later on. Or worse, I will be isolated in the residence like a lime and how should I explain to my father about Lady Lucia and this woman beside me? Jeez, a problem has been solved and another problem has been raised. 
    
    My head might have broken from this. Though, I said that. This woman is what I'm afraid of. She's not different from normal children of Lucia's age, because she's not even that young like Lucia. She is probably younger or older than me, but I guess I can't find any answer since I'm as confused as my two knights here.
    
    "Milord, what will we do with that girl? " Adrian decided to ask and I was left puzzled. I may have decided to take her with us but I don't know what to do with her honestly. 
    
    She doesn't know I'm also a woman, that also includes Lady Lucia who clings to me like a lime. "I'll take her with me...? " I said in question instead of reassurance. 
    
    I exclaimed and shook the girl that was sleeping on my shoulders. Don't get me wrong, despite the unknown age, her features are like a 9 year old child because of her misunderstood height and size. Her weight is not a problem, because she's too light and malnourished to be called healthy.
    
    "Excuse me, miss? " I tried whispering to her and shaking her shoulders all together. However, she was sleeping so deeply that she couldn't even hear my voice. 
    
    "Miss, lady? " I once again said and this time she finally awakened, she robbed her eyes and she looked at me with a dire and tired face. 
    
    "You're awake? Good, miss where are you from? I'll drop you off and send you back safely don't worry. " I said coldly but I didn't say it with the intention of hurting her in wild hostility but I wanna escort her back to her place safe and sound— at least that is the only thing I can do for her. 
    
    Instead of responding, the girl's eye suddenly became teary and she punched me softly with an unbelievable look. "You're throwing me away!? You bad bad bad guy! " I looked at her and her tantrum whining before my eyes widened. 
    
    I'm not even a guy! What the hell is wrong with this girl? "Miss, I'm sorry but I don't plan on taking you wherever I go, you have to go back, your parents would get worried of your disappearance."
    
    She didn't listen and ended up throwing soft punches on me like cotton instead of steel. She wiggles herself, shaking off like a brat enough to make the horse shake in annoyance. Of course, I calm her down by stopping her hands from throwing more cotton punches. 
    
    "Calm down! I will go far away and the little miss should go home, so please don't be stubborn and think about your poor parents. " Although I'm not sure if she's even a human, I thought it was better to just send her off than letting her follow us. Soon I'll go back and I'll be protected by tight walls once again, this is for her and I meant it. 
    
    When I said those she looked at me before she turned around. "I-I don't have anyone! " she said exclaiming her voice to a high pitch and tears once again fell from her eyes. "I'm alone, and betrayed by everyone, I have no one to go back to. "
    
    This is getting troublesome, so what should I do? It seems that I'm right about her not being a normal child. "You, " I pointed and I separated myself from them to avoid eavesdropping from my men. "You are not a human are you? " I said with a deep and cold voice. 
    
    She stiffly started trembling and her eyes suddenly met mine. What I said made her eyes fall in fear and she immediately looked away. I thought so, she really is something beyond a normal girl being abducted by a bandit. 
    
    A hybrid or creature maybe? "Young Miss, are you not a human? Answer me properly? " I once again asked and this time as she closed her eyes, she nodded in fear and her body started trembling. 
    
    "Then what are you? " The more I ask, the more I smell her fear and tears. She tried covering her face and she cried before she straightened her seat and looked down. 
    
    "I-I'm— w-will you kill me!? " Her eyes met mine and her question made me look at her stiffly. Responding to her with, "No. "
    
    "I am the last descendant of the prestigious Dragonoid's Clan, my family has been long gone and I'm the last of them— please I beg you! I have nowhere to go, " I let her continue until she stopped making me look her right in the eyes. 
    
    Dragonoid, ehh? I once read something about them in the section of magic and creatures. However, I'm sure according to the text, Dragonoid is a species of a blood that both Dragon and Human refills. Dragons had been pushed to extinction thousands of years ago, before the foundation of the empire, before the creation of the human kingdom, before even humans became advanced and reliable.
    
    A dragon exists. Few if I may say, they are a clan who rule over the skies. They have a kingdom built of their own making above the skies but when changes appear and the god slayed them for their insolent doings, heavens send armies of special puppets called themselves ( demons ) attacking the dragon's and the battle was too wild to even know who won. 
    
    Of course this pushed the dragons to their extinction not until a survivor of the Dragon Clan was able to survive and left their homes. Two Dragons escaped to the surface and they stayed there to recover, but an unexpected twist of event happened. The female dragon fell for a man, this love miraculously turned into hope which held them externally.
    
    The love that grew between a man and a dragon had finally become a sole freedom of equality and when the dragon gave birth, the species of Dragonoid had also been determined. The origin of man and a dragon was called the Dragonoid. 
    
    They live about a hundred more but something happened years ago, dragonoid was pushed back to hiding that also resulted in their end. People hunted them down, killed them and sold them to prices that benefited mankind. Only that remains is a fact that the last of their remains still exist. 
    
    I also read that dragonoids have abilities no normal men can wield. Powerful than the magic of elements and is much more reliable than one thinks the same. If that's the case, with her by my side, getting information, manipulating events and helping Lucia take the throne will be as easy as pie. 
    
    That also determines that a dragonoid is more loyal than a knight. They have contracts if I remember and seals that forever tied them to the person they choose. Forever though is a misfit word, maybe until they die. 
    
    "Ah, " I exclaimed and looked at her. "Then what can you do for me if I take you in? " I want her to bring the contract herself this way, she'll be determined to stay by Seira's side. 
    
    "I-if you want, I will aid you in your future battles?" Her answer didn't satisfy me at all.  "No, that won't do, " I said.
    
    "T-then I'll form a contract with you! " That's more like it. I nodded and smiled. 
    
    "Not me, but my sister, Seira Latina Crambell, " she looked at me, shocked enough for her to cry again. 
    
    "W-why? " She asked. 
    
    "Like I said, I will leave forever, " she then nodded as if she understood. 
    
    "My sister will protect you and your secret, do not worry and form a contract with her. Help her always, and take care of her. " It's kinda weird talking to myself like somebody, although I wanna erase Ulysses soon, this should be better.
