Recruiting
Part II

The Next Day, Melromarc Castle
Ichigo's Room, 8 AM

The next day after Ichigo formed a party with the Songstress Dorothea, he would find his room that the Queen gave him since he is her Glaive, whenever he likes it or not but today is a new day for him. Right now, Ichigo is staring at his new uniform that the Tailor from two days ago. He found the package in front of his door and there was a letter from the Tailor.

"Everything should be ready for you once you start your journey here as Queen Mirelia Q Melromarc's Glaive. Your Suit was designed by some of the Folklore of a Heroine in Black, agile and there is magic resistance inside the suit but you will still get hurt. Boots made of top quality leather and should give you a {Trait} making you nimble, quick and light as a feather.

Resting on Ichigo's bed lies a black frock coat, black pants, black fingerless gloves, and black, knee-high boots, ornate visors, and some choose to cover their faces with pieces of black cloth and flowing, purple ribbons and silver horn-like ornaments.

'Let's get this over with.' Ichigo puts on a clean white shirt and puts on his black frock coat, putting on his black pants, clean socks, and his black boots. He then puts down his hood and the visor, sighing as he could feel that his life is about to become more havoc. He hears a knock on his door, "Come in."

The door opens, revealing his new party member Dorothea, ready in her uniform from yesterday.

"Good morning Ichi." She greets the orange-haired late teen, making him raise an eyebrow.

"Uh, what's with the nickname Dorothea?" He asks her.

"Well, I'm just used to calling some of my classmates in the academy by some sort of nickname so I unconsciously called you Ichi." Dorothea replies and she looks at the Glaive, wondering as to why he has his hood and visor down but, "When did you get this outfit?" She asks him, wondering about the outfit.

"Just got this about an hour ago. Had to get tailored by the tailor in town two days ago and now seems to be in good shape." He says as he stretches his arms around the coat, making sure that it's not too stiff for him. 'Fits about right.'

"So, my handsome partner, when do we get to meet the Queen?" Dorothea teases but in a serious way asks him.

"In an hour. Her knights will tell me when I'll meet her." He replies, still getting the hang of his new outfit.

"So, since we're waiting, want to get some breakfast?" She asks him and Ichigo decided to follow her suggestion and the two would walk their way to the dining hall. Dorothea would tell some tales of her adventures in the academy from meeting the different professors, her instructors in the opera/theater district, her classmates and her time trying to flirt with the other knights, much to Ichigo's dismay.

Dorothea would also ask her 'partner' about his past since they are in this mess together and she would like to know more of the man behind the black and purple outfit. Even though he doesn't know if he could trust her but since he doesn't have much of a choice, Ichigo would tell her about some parts of his past from being a protector to his two twin younger sisters, Yuzu and Karin, and some parts of his life as a Substitute Soul Reaper in a cryptic way since there are things that he doesn't want to tell her.

Dorothea found his life pretty interesting from what she was told and there are more things that she does want to know more of him but knows that he isn't going to open up more since they did just meet and formed a party suddenly. Perhaps forming this party was the best option for her; possibly finding someone to love and also have some 'power' with her being in Ichigo's party and also having a handsome bad boy in her mind.

Once the duo finds the dining hall, some of the knights took notice and see the Queen's Glaive and his apparent partner enter. Some of the knights walk towards them and some of them have their hands on the handle of their swords.

"Hold!" The apparent leader of the knight stops them and some of them begin to circle them to which Ichigo brings out his Zanpakutos in his hands while Dorothea brings out a little bit of fire in her hands.

"Fuck you guys want?" Ichigo asks in an annoyed tone, "Last I checked, you guys barely stood a chance against me when I used the two swords that weren't even mine." He takes the large Zangetsu from his back and rests the side back part of the sword on his left shoulder, "Get out of my way."

Before one of the knights could even, Mirelia appears behind Ichigo and Dorothea with the other nobles behind her.

"Stand down." She orders the knights and her Glaive to stop, "It's too early for a bloody fight. Captain, please stop trying to press your luck. I would advise not trying to start a fight with someone like him, especially if he already knows his [Skills]." The Knights then remove their hands away from their swords and the duo of Ichigo and Dorothea put away/fizz out their weapons. "Ichigo, Miss Dorothea, please do not start a fight or have one. It would ill advise."

Dorothea didn't think that the Queen would know her name but kept it to herself and Ichigo would speak up to her.

"Have your dogs behave." The knights didn't take that too lightly, "I'm trying to just get breakfast and next thing I know is that they all surrounded me, trying to pick a fight against me."

"Plus your majesty, you can even ask the eyewitnesses that are here." Dorothea added, "Ichigo and I just entered the dining room and next thing we know, we're surrounded by your knights."

Mirelia sighs heavily as these knights must be under her eldest daughter, Myne Melromarc, command. While she doesn't know them personally, she can see the [Icon] above their heads and see her daughter's sigil, a black rose with thorns.

"As Queen, I order you all not to fight. We already don't need this in the morning." Again, Mirelia orders them all since it's still too early in the morning and they don't want the knights to get destroyed by her new Glaive.

The knights would disperse, leaving the two alone and they would sigh in relief.

"It would appear that my eldest daughter was the one behind this little incident," Mirelia spoke up, making Ichigo slightly confused" as to who she might be referring too. "My daughter, Myne S Melormarc is the First princess of my kingdom but she tends to cause trouble for us."

'A spoiled princess...' Ichigo mutters in his head, already getting the idea from what she is saying, ' Guess she won't like me since I'm a commoner in her eyes.'

"Please don't mind her knights Ichigo. Since you are my Glaive, you hold some power." Mirelia tells her Glaive.

"So Ichigo, what do you of your know outfit?" Rhea asks him and could see his stats have increased.

"Feels good, just have to get the hang of it in combat now." Ichigo replies, "But mind telling me as to why your daughter's knights decided to pick a fight against me?"

"Myne always had problems doing things like this." Mirelia spoke up, "Her father had always spoiled her and it would later turn out to be for the worst as she would try to do this out of sheer boredom." Ichigo scowls from hearing that as he could see himself not getting along with her and would probably get very annoyed by someone spoiled, especially a from a princess.

"But anyway, I'm getting hungry so if you excuse me." He excuses himself and Dorothea would bow in respect and follow Ichigo, making the three political leaders by themselves.

"Seems a bit better this time." Rhea added, "Hopefully we don't get more intrusions with your daughter Lady Mirelia." Mirelia would nod her head in agreement, she could tell that Ichigo is not that hostile towards them but still rather annoyed in some ways.

"We do need to make amends with him if we still need to work him Lady Mirelia," Celica added as she could tell that Ichigo has a better attitude but still looks annoyed, "Is there indeed a way for him or anyone that can return their homes?" She asks the Queen.

"There are legends that did happen but we don't know if that is true or not." Mirelia replies back, "Some say it's true but there are other rumors say there isn't a way but I'll have a team do some research to that." Mirelia would then walk her way to where Ichigo and Dorothea were having breakfast, "Sorry to interrupt you Ichigo but I brought you this." She brings out a list of files, "While I know that you don't have to trust me but I do want to have a working relationship."

Ichigo could tell that there is some truth to her words but could tell that she could be hiding things from him but again, he is going to need some help in terms of finding a way out of here. "Thanks. I'll take a look at it." She nods her head and leaves the two to their breakfast.

"So, who you gonna recruit to our party?" Dorothea asks Ichigo as she whips off some of the food off of her lips.

"Let's see..." Ichigo opens the file with his left hand and goes through different files of warriors throughout Melromarc. Each file that Ichigo and Dorothea were going through wouldn't get along with him since he was mainly seeing them from noble families, known military families that served the kingdom but Ichigo honestly isn't looking for that. While he does know some of his allies come from noble families like Rukia, Byakuya, and Yoruichi but in here, he could tell that each of these families could have a political agenda so none of them is a match for him.

"Hey Ichigo, how about this one?" Ichigo turns to her and sees one of the profiles in her hands, "She could be a match." She hands him the profile.

Name: Lyndis 'Lyn'
Birthplace: Sacae
Gender
: Female
Race: Human
Age: 18
Title: Noble Lady of the Plains
Weapons: Sol Katti (Sword) Mulagir (bow)

'Must be from the south.' He looks at some of the pictures and could tell that her attire isn't a normal one for people her in Melromarc since she has a long sky blue dress of sorts that exposes her sides of her legs, two brown leather belts around her waist and black gloves on. She has a fair peach skin tone with green hair and matching eyes.

"You think she's a match?" Dorothea asks him.

"Maybe but need to know her character before making it official." He replies back, still needing to know more about her. "Let's hope that she'll join our party before we eventually have to leave with the Queen." Dorothea nods her head and finishes up her breakfast as well as Ichigo.
