It's hard to be a knight, and it's hard to be friends with someone you like. I mean really like. Not like like, but like really like, if it makes any sense.

Sometimes I wonder, why did I even went with them. Why did I went with them on this adventure.

"What are you thinking about?" I was asked by a girl. She was young, not older than fifteen years old. Yet there was something mature about her. 

"Nothing important Iris." I said and for some reason, after hearing her own name she flinched a little. Did she disliked me calling her by her name so much? 

"You heard him, "Iris"." I heard Morgana's voice and this girl flinched one more time. 

So it wasn't just me. That's good. 

To tell you the truth I'm not good with women. I never was. 

"Something happened master?" a girl with red hair asked. 

Dealing with this girl was especially hard for me, and reason for that was very simple. Her clothes. 

She was wearing an armour that didn't cover much. When she was speaking I always tried no to look at her because of that. 

"Nothing important, don't worry." young girl said and sighed deeply. 

Stolen story; please report.

She was sighing a lot. Was there something on her mind? I don't really know why we are going to the capital city, but it seemed like it was something really important. 

"If this old woman is bullying you then tell me master. I will take care of her." Vyliana said and made Morgana really angry. It looked like she was going to do something, that she might regret later. 

Sometimes I really wonder why I went with them.

But always when I think about it, I get my answer right away. 

"Something happened? You don't look well." I was asked by Iris.

She was the reason.

I'm bad with women. It's hard for me to speak with them but it's not the case with her. Speaking with her is like talking with a friend. 

She's straightforward, kind, honest and beautiful. When I talk with her I don't feel nervous. It's more like talking with a man, and I don't understand why. 

'It's nothing. I'm just really grateful that I can be here with you." I said what I was thinking. Well, it might seem like confession, but she thinks of me as a friend only. 

It's not so be bad to be a friend anyway. Everyone must start somewhere. 

As I was thinking about that, I realised that I haven't gotten any response. When I looked at her I saw that she was looking at the ground, and she looked sad for some reason. 

"Don't belive me?" I asked and she looked at me. 

"It's not that. I'm sure that you all like me for now." she said and smiled lightly. 

I really don't understand. I don't understand why she said "for now". I don't understand what is so important in capital city that makes her so nervous. 

But I want to know. I decided to. 

"Don't think about stupid things." Morgana said to Iris after looking at her for a while. She seemed to know a lot about her. 

"I'm sorry." she only replied briefly. 

It's weird for someone so young to be so calm. I don't understand her but I want to. 

As I was thinking about those things we were getting closer to the capital city.
