Commander Vale didn't let the accident cause an uproar to the palace. Some of the two familiar knights, and Commander Vale came to the physician's room with us to be treated.

"The cut is really deep," The physician clicked his tongue. "How did you get this?"
30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4Q4q4RKurz
"My brooch." The hero answered, we didn't expect him to. "I already threw it away." Even now while explaining, he seemed mad and upset.
30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU0c050R244
After arriving here in a small Imperial physician's place, the hero insisted that I should be treated first instead of his damned foot. Of course, it was unacceptable since it's the hero who should be treated first, but seeing his roots almost popping off his head, we're all scared and uncomfortable up to our bones.
30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBTqPIVgi43
Even the two knights were only looking down.
30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnhMrNeiVeD
"What really happened?" The physician asked.
30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcd70cORzBY
Commander Vale was the one who was supposed to answer, but the hero angrily interrupted. "I didn't know the palace is this shabby and unrenovated. If someone wanted to die, one could come here. This is basically accident prone place, not a palace."
30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVIuV2PGikM
We were all silenced by his long comment, given the fact that he's not like this in the throne hall while speaking with the emperor. The longest reply he gave was almost ten words.
30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTFPS25eODk
"W-We apologized for that ruckus, Sir..." One of the knights bowed. "We'll make sure that all your concerns be delivered."
30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqYs6dDEnWl
He didn't reply nor look at the knights, but stared at was being treated: my hand.
30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ991DKaiJk
After my treatment and the hero's foot are now being treated, Commander Vale looked at me with much worry. He told me to come out of the room so we can talk.
30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1TypfcbAlG
"Are you hurt somewhere too? Is your arms and head alright?"
30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkIlFKRVHWK
I nod. "Only this hand. Beside this, nothing hurts at all." My voice shakes. "I'm sorry, Commander Vale. I just wanted to warn you and the hero for that nail."
30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF7cTYxg1VU
"It is no one's fault at all, child. Now you need to go back to Madam Pearl's inn to rest. Come back tomorrow, or don't---go back when your hand's healed. I'll tell the knights to bring you medicine tomorrow."
30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYXmHYTP5mr
I breathe, "Madam Pearl already locked her small in, it's past her curfew and I get into her nerves...I was really planning to wander off after this...but..."
30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN8nCxQlEDW
Commander Vale sighed and rubbed his temple. "Then go to my room at the Knight's headquarters. Sleep there, since it's my duty all night."
30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPjIZAOafMl
He gave me the key as I bid my goodbyes.
30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqL1AONzZt8
I didn't get a chance to say farewell to the hero.

"What the fuck..." Some knights cursed as soon as they saw my hand after waking up from the knight's headquarters.
30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNpLnSYBp7U
"What happened to that?!"
30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtLhbttb2zA
"Small scratch," I answered. "I can still do errands!"
30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPam3EZRFww
"She will not." I came tense as I heard Commander Vale entered the headquarters. "Child, take this medicine and go back to the inn. Don't wander around this week until your hand is somewhat healed."
30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi2BWgORBI8
"Commander, it's less hurting now---"
30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAvFs3TcuAI
"No. Go back. Say that to me after a week of rest."
30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmSmsxsrRDS
All of our mouth has been shutted. The knights and dames look away to avoid my pitying gaze and the Commander's glances.
30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6MsAJyHw2R
"I- I think you should go back for now, don't worry about the errands." Dame Yura awkwardly beamed.
30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmhUgIMGCDP
I bowed my head as I said my goodbyes to the knights.
30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEOTj9QCr6s
Leaving the headquarters and walking through the streets, I got worried thinking about the hero's condition. Whether his foot hurt stinging, or if I protected his head enough for it to not ache. On my way to the inn, I was only looking down. He's all the empire's savior, and I was thinking if I did do that deed good enough. People want him safe and secured while he protects.
30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuCdb1Unmeg
"What happened with that hand?! Is that why you never go home last night?! You're getting into my nerves again! Now what are your reason this time?" My eardrums screamed in pain as I entered the inn. Madam Pearl's mouth run through echos once again after seeing me.
30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLn3xxLT6Jg
"It's just a little scratch, Madam...And I'm in the knight headquarters last night." I explained.
30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMS6m04aCHd
"Well, yeah?! Wait---knight headquarters??? Did you greet the hero???" Her complexion changed from being mad to being surprised.
30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG4tzC8ve92
"Heh...sort of, I guess?" I scratched my cheek.
30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLBKwH0bH0I
"Oh, what is he like then?!" Madam Pearl hold both of my shoulders. I begin to think of a plan escaping her.
30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUbbJ3BqiHl
"I don't know, Madam. I need to go to my room now!" I took a chance of her loose hold and run upstairs to go to my room and lock it.
30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSoH0fp1hkx
I heard Madam Pearl's complains and shouting words, but I was more thankful from my escape from her.
30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVw2d7jLgk1
My tenement room is small, but I like it this way. I can always see and notice my things if it's been touch by someone who dared to enter the room. I can also clean less because I'm really lazy to do things sometimes.
30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5Zs829du7I
I jumped off to my bed. Despite me sleeping for 8 hours, I can't help get a sense of tiredness. I don't feel hungry at all. And before I knew it, my conciousness disappears.
30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0sIoUwPQqj
It's too late to do things for this day when I realized I've been asleep for almost a whole day. I woke up with the dragons in my stomach screaming for me to feed them. I weakly grab my pouch of silver coins and open the door to grab some dinner outside. I managed to escape Madam Pearl's eyes 'cause she's talking to the gardener of the tenement.
30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCzTWfSzOfa
I don't have the energy for her loud voice now that I'm hungry. I quickly run to the marketplace to buy some street foods, pawning my appetite.
30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUiC6sSO2g7
The night festival is still on-going, and here I am eating in a stall wondering what the knights are doing. The headquarters are always almost in chaos if I don't do errands. I'm sure that if I come back there, that headquarters will stink with clothes that they disrobe in the corner, the armours were not be in place, and the place will be a pub.
30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1wArQRYMu9
I hope they survive without me running errands for them.
30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8asMSSfZdS
I blankly walked around the plaza as if I'm a knight who's tasked supervising the area. I played some games at other stand stalls, spending my silver coins. In the end, I won one brown teddy bear. The maker of this bear must somehow adores cats. It looks like one.
30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkQiJ2pzJyY
But my palm hurts a lot because of my own stubbornness.
30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVAeVbfguBe
As I turned around, I saw a glimpse of an eye staring right through me five steps away from where I am standing. I saw a face, and I'm trying to familiarize just where I've seen it.
30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqkUlsMQSeb
I prevented becoming tense as I've realized.
30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡykclCgW8X0
"S-Sir???"
30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhaLeRDGgK4
He's wearing a knight armour that some certain metals clang when his shoulders dropped. He blinked as he walked towards me. I bowed my head.
30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6AjU8BUSgN
"Haven't you got any companion this time of the night? It would be really troublesome if you walk alone around." I said after bowing my head.
30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjzkf3rWCkJ
He stopped. "I've been permitted to stroll around alone."
30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIoyuHvZoun
"I-Is that so?"
30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm6vUQwq50Q
He nodded. "How is your palm? Thank you for catching me below the stairs last night. I haven't got to say my gratitudes."
30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡapVcj97bKk
"Oh," I showed him my injured and bandaged left palm. "I'll be alright in a few days, Sir. There's nothing to worry about. I always recover quickly."
30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGQbarWa1f2
I heard him sighed, his eyes glittered. "I'm trying to find you everywhere."
30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa3FsNIHhS0
"M-Me?" I was taken aback. He didn't answered so I scratch my cheeks and spoke. "W-Well, Commander Vale told me to go to my place. I was meant to come back at the palace after this week, Sir. But I guess you won't stay here that long. I was just happy that I can do something for you, you don't need to formally give your gratitude, I'm just a mere commoner."
30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9X3ZSfFkg8
"No---I, I want to thank you," He took something out of his brown pouch bag. "Here," He handed a liquid thing waving inside a small potion bottle.
30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3fqzEphYrH
"Uhh---is it a potion?"
30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfoFsQEbgSA
"It's a medicine. It's from my acquaintance, it's effective. Drink it."
30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4gsU8HFL97
"Is your acquaintance a physician?"
30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3tiYZNvFH4
He slowly shook his head. "He's a healing wizard."
30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXagc4tZ1IE
My eyes widened. If this potion is from a healing wizard, I'm sure it would cause almost a hundred gold!
30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqTStRgDkcR
My shoulders dropped. "U-Uhh, have you bought this, Sir?"
30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTwsmdMcnK5
"No. He gave it to me."
30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtNgCOaL02P
"I don't think..."
30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2SZo0nUqWF
"I haven't spend any pounds on that, it's simply just a medicine that he give. And I want to give it to you. It's just a small thing."
30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXcqfm3Z8Cq
"It costs a hundred gold, Sir. If you were to ask me, instead of drinking this thing, I think I'll want to sell it." I said, voice shaking.
30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4nsoJCzM7D
He stared at me. "You...?"
30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWpdTsnZjWh
"Here, Sir,"
30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡur7GYNd5yt
"No, do what you want." He brushes his hair. "Just take it as a gift. I really don't need it."
30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVAApuqDl5h
"Thank you, Sir!"
30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfc4GjpoQWI
He nodded.
30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyYEhmLwMWh
"Uhm, where are you headed to now, Sir?" I asked.
30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZT6SbPo9Et
He slowly turned his head to look around. "I don't know. Probably I'll go back to the palace, I have a hunt at Terao Forest for tomorrow."
30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1idVcEHl15
"Oh, that," I nodded. "Then, was your injured foot alright now?"
30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBAR5gzET3L
"It's healed. Don't think about it."
30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhyFgLkZHMg
I smiled. "Alright. Thank you for this medicine, Sir. I'm going to my place now!"
30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl7OgpdZ95R
He just look at me as I turned my back.
30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMsCZNDAfNr
"Wait---"
30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3LTde4axWO
"Sir?" I turned back.
30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxVrOGABCs0
"W-Will I see you around if I come back here?"
30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaXK5I3xHfC
I nod and smile. "Certainly! I can tour you around, Sir!"
30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYITp3tV5TV
He blinked. I immediately got taken aback when I saw his lips curved and saw how his eyes smiled too. "Can you tour me tomorrow?"
30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡthw50IrCmw
"Just as I said, Sir. Count on me!"
30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvuDsvAg4If
"Alright. Bye."
30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkSkijn09E8
I waved my hands before I walk away and go back to my inn.
