a noble goes home in his carriage, while looking out on the window.
Something catches his eyes. It is something unusual. He sees a girl with amber eyes and raven black hair, she is for sure, not older than 20, if he would have to guess, he would guess 18 or 19. 'Those are long knife like ears, an elf it looks then, she can be then only one person.' -Thought the noble. - She wears a gambeson which is white and black and a long throuser with the same colors and black boots. The noble knows this women, not personally, but by rumors. He knows where she is going, she is going to the near village of Richemonde. Hannah the Blood soaked. She got the name, because as she is a mercenary, she always came home from battles with soaked in blood in her clothes. Rumors say, she is great with bows as well as with the sword. The noble thought 'I think she prefers the sword. I mean then how would she be always, so soaked in it? Or is it just the rumors?' No one can be really coutious enought against those, there are some truth in them, but a lot of them are just over spoken lies. Why is she in Rexdomana? What kind of business she has here?
Those thoughts went through the noble's head.
While he thought about these, the girl has disappeared from his sight. - Okay, i will ask around in Stillstand and get ready for the next banquet. I hope my maids kept clean the manor. I should not think anymore about that girl, she is trouble. Something is starting and i do not know why. Maybe the king wants a contract with her mercenary group the Sharp shards or Mero itself? Why then delegate her, if it's about Mero or was she sent here as an envoy? I think the first option is the most likely. Anyway. We are almost there.-
one and a half hour later he was near his home and was full with happiness.
