White shirt. Black pauldrons, Ruby in the middle. Her scarlet red hair contrasted with her deep blue eyes. A red skirt to complement her hair.

 Ria RazenHeir, the youngest scion of the RazenHeir house. A house renowned for their flame magic that ignites even cold steel and burns even when doused with sand. 

 Her mastercrafted revolver in her left hand, her silver rapier in her right. The limit of what her modest physique could bear but nonetheless, deadly weapons that would fell a man-eating ghoul

She had just come of age. Her full potential as a knight had yet to bloom. But given that the Lord of the estate had gone off to war, and her elder siblings had gone off to the spire academy. She was left alone to tend to the functionary duties. 

Ria : "What's my schedule?" Maid : "Breakfast with Marquess Kercelas. Lessons afterwards. Light lunch, and the convoy to Moradale sets off afterwards." Click! Her rapier clicked into its scabbard. Ria : "Very well. Let us depart." 

A white mane, a fine stead. A servant waited by it. Ria grabbed his hand and with a heave, mounted the saddle. The beast remained completely still without her instruction. Ria : "My escort. Are they by chance late?" Maid : "Apologies, my lady. I will fetch the head guard." 

"Morning Lady Ria. I'll be your escort today." A powerful, mid-high pitched voice came from above.

Ria was taken aback. She turned around to see an impressive figure towering over her. Black boots thicker than tree trunks, towering over Ria if she weren't mounted. Black wyvern hide suit, following the contours of her toned muscular body, as imposing as a battlement. 

On her back, she hoisted a claymore wider and longer than even Ria's horse. To her side, a shorter sword, and a full sized cannon, each of which is bigger than Ria's entire body. Throwing knives, potions, bombs strapped all over her suit. 

Lifting her head, Ria saw the most beautiful face she had ever seen. Pinkish fair skin. Red eyes sparkling like rubies. Perfect proportions. Her lush long hair, silver in color, slightly ruffled and glittering in the sun. 

"Shall we get going, my lady?"

 Ria : "Ah!.. uh! Yes. Ahem." Ria realized that she had been staring. Her face blushed with embarrassment. 

Umm… What's your name? I haven't seen a knight like you around here."

"Hikari, my lady."

 " Ria : "Hikari. Umm.. you are… " Ria stuttered. She has never been so flustered before. Hikari :

 "My lady?" 

Ria : "Oh! Um..! you are a bit too, how should I put it. Overly armed for the occasion. " 

"Overly armed?" 

Ria : "Yes. Perhaps just the short sword and the musket? Conceal the daggers if you can. Perhaps ditch the claymore, we are not off to slay a dragon." 

"Apologies, please give me a moment." Hikari dashed off. The shock wave from her movements blew Ria's hair back, ruining the immaculate combing her maids had painstakingly done.

Moments later, she returned with a somewhat cleaner appearance. Hair tied up in a ponytail and combed using her fingers. Still in her wyvern skin suit, with an additional wool skirt, concealing a fraction of her loadout underneath. 

She had left her terrifying claymore, bringing only her short sword and handcannon, a scaled up version of the common sword and musket bodyguards commonly brought to formal settings.

"How do I look?"

Ria stared at the giant. Powerful, elegant, steward, beautiful beyond measure. Words could not describe the feeling of being in the presence of a living goddess.

Ria : "Presentable I suppose. Ahem.. we are in a hurry now. But in due time, I'll make arrangements for more fitting attire." 

"Thank you, my lady." 

Ria : "Let us depart."
