[color=a187be][b]“Hahahaha... will I now?”[/b][/color] Amelia stated softly at the giantess's comment about becoming the mercenary becoming a knight right away if she really wanted.[color=a187be][b]” I suppose that will be the case, but being a knight is too much of a bother... I've already had to decline like dozens of requests and demands to join different factions... like seriously who gave those people the right to DEMAND that I join them. The king of this country even send an official delegation to track me down and decree that I have to join his personal troops and that he will allow a marriage with the second prince...” [/b][/color]Amelia stated with disgust.[color=a187be][b]” I know princesses are used for political barter, but that was the first time I've seen someone trying to use a prince like a bargaining chip and the boy is only 12 years old. What am I going to do with a boy half my age.” [/b][/color] [color=a187be][b]“Don't you underestimate the danger here... that's only a way people view the goddess in the more recent history. Often the origins of such marks are far... darker.”[/b][/color] The mercenary said to the knight with serious voice. [color=a187be][b]“What's this... someone isn't very enthusiastic about finding out a thing that will affect her own future from now on.”[/b][/color] Amelia said after seeing how Evelyn was acting. She was like a small animal... The mercenary couldn't help but tease her a little. She quickly reached and gently poked her side with a finger[color=a187be][b].”Come on now, that's something you need to learn so you can decide how you will live from now on.”[/b][/color] She said with a smile and decided to let the other two on a little secret, well on a small part of the secret at least. She knew for fact that no one really knew from where her own mark came from. She had checked in the biggest libraries in a few different kingdoms, none held a record about that mark, but Amelia knew it's meaning. It was almost like an instinct... She reached to the edge of her leather skirt and pulled it upwards enough to reveal a small black dragon head symbol on her hip.[color=a187be][b]” Look I know this is all new and strange for you. See, I was in the same boat, but learning what destiny holds in store for you, will let you figure out how you want to live your life from now on.”[/b][/color] She said, letting go of her skirt and hiding the dragon head symbol again.[color=a187be][b]” If you want to live a normal quiet life, that's fine, but if someone will be after you because of that mark... let's just say that nowhere you go will be safe and you will endanger those around you if you aren't ready for when the time come.”[/b][/color] Amelia said to Evelyn with sympathetic voice before suddenly reaching out and starting to tickle the girl.[color=a187be][b]” Now cheer up! Look at you, you avoided slavery and you look as glum as if you are a slave! Come one laugh, giggle, rejoice!”[/b][/color] She said, grinning widely herself.
