"no good" lance sighed "least i gathered enough to pay back for today i better go let the kids know now that's one day down... many to go" he took out a burned picture before walking back to the usual spot with a full pouch of jewels "who knew someone would pay me for just dancing with a girl... i'm not a noble anymore well i still got my noble's coat but still" he noticed a recent newspaper on the ground with a article that stands out to him and picked it up "One of the Lance twins rumored to be still alive, after 6 years since the incident one of the twins has been sighted in town" lance chuckled at the article "was my family that well known?" he pondered and continued to go towards the usual spot

Lance grabbed his brothers sword and looked at before entering the usual spot noticing a shady person waiting for him "yes? may i help you?" Lance said curiously looking at the mask Lance scratched his head and slowly started to lose his cool as he started to speak"are you here to take away the kids from me?, i knew it wouldn't take too long till people found the kids... i couldn't let them starve you know, Just leave them to me... i can't let you take them away from here... i'll find them a home i swear!" Lance heard what one of the kids said after he finished panicking"w-wait she's here for me? for stealing bread... and she gave you the money to pay for today...?" Lance sighed relieved at the news "i don't like violence... so i'll go with you but before you take me to him... can you do me a favor?" he took out a half burned photo and took the sword off his belt and put it on the ground "can you listen to my tale? if not... why not a friendly duel? i haven't had a clean fight since i started street fighting"
