"I-ISN'T THAT A DUKE?!?!" as the first knight said, "Y-YEAH HE REALLY IS!.... WE ARE DOOMED!!!" as the second knight murmur.

[Wait they said a DUKE?! doesn't that mean he is the second powerful before king!?....It's ok if I reap them off right!? as a salary man I can't pass this fortune!.....] Aira thought.

Aira reached her hand to the duke while the duke looking at her hands, "What is it?" as he said, "I need the money, hand it over right now.." she said.

Harlen remembered what Aira said when she is on the forest "A-AHHH!! THAT'S RIGHT!!" as she said out loud and clapped her hands, "FATHER! she saved my life when I'm being attacked by a bandits" as she said.

"I-Is that so?"as he said, " why don't you go with us? and I will compensate you with a fortune." as he said. Aira looked troubled after what she heard from the duke she look at Harlen and Harlen look back then she smile.

[W-wait if I go with them then I can enter at the castle? then Harlen will force his father to recruit me as her personal maid? then next I can't adventure? it's means that I will be her toy forever?!.]

"N-NO! I WANT IT NOW!" as she shout, the duke surprised by sudden shout he look at Aira clothes. "But I can't let you wear something like that if you're a savior of my daughter?, no?" as he said.

[he is completely right but still...] Aira looked more trouble and the knights are so gloom as she raised her voice to the duke, and the guard signing to accept it or they will be doomed if they found out that they mistreated Harlen.

[I guess there's no escaped since they're doing their job properly...] "Are you ok Aira?" as Harlen said, Aira nod and she accept the Duke invitation the Duke entered the carriage and Harlen follow him. "Aira you will not join us?" as she said.

"Ahh.... Am I really can?" as she answer, Harlen nod she enter at the carriage as she peak inside she saw an exclusive atmosphere she was surprised. [Y-yeah this is duke carriage just to be expected to nobility's carriage] Harlen sat beside his father and Aira sat opposite to their direction.

[this is too comfortable!] "Continue!" as he said, 

Hyaaa!

the carriage began to move the duke spoke to her, "Your name is Aira?, yes?" as he said, Aira nod at him. "Thank you for saving my daughter as my thanks take this" as he said, he grab the pouch of gold on his waist and give it to her, she grab it and she open the item box and throw it inside. "This is not enough I also guard her while she's sleeping and find a food for her" as she said.

The duke laugh so loud. "You're greedy aren't you!?...Oh well I will give you 2 socks of golds later after we reached the my house" as he said. after a while the coachman stopped Aira look outside. [Is this a house?! Isn't this a castle!!? or a Villa?! how rich are the duke exactly?!]

Harlen smile at her [ you know your smile doesn't explain everything!] as they go out the carriage the maids welcomed them with red carpet. [Isn't this too much!! someone stop them!!.]

the head maid looked at Aira with troubled eyes. "Sir may asked who is she!?" as the head maid said, "Ah! her she is the savior of y daughter, Amor take care of her." as the duke said, "Yes. very well." as the head maid said.

[woah! if only I have a life like this in the past then I will be living on luxury life...] "follow me" as the head maid said, they goes inside while Aira following the maid, the head maid entered a room Aira follow her and she saw a prestigious bath. [even their bath is so huge and everything looks expensive...] "take off your clothes" as the maid said.

Aira step away after hearing what the maid said. [Is she harassing me?!] "I can't clean you up" as the maid said.

"O-oh! is that so?....w-wait! I can do it by myself!" as she said, "this is the Duke's order so you can't refuse." as the maid said.

"NO!!!! I will do it by myself!!!" as she refuse.

the maid got angry and forced her to take off her clothes as Aira struggling to keep her clothes on Harlen entered a bath she saw Aira laying on the floor being forced to take her clothes off, Harlen closed the door slowly and ran away both of them stopped after seeing Harlen face blushing. Aira chased her before Harlen complete her words Aira already cover her mouth. the maid left on the bath being gloom "FATHE-" as she said, "It's a misunderstanding!" as she said, "You're scaring me! your face looks like a demon!" as she said.

"m-y perfect Image as a head maid is tainted!" as the maid said and slowly dying. After a while the misunderstanding has been cleared Aira and Harlen went back to the bath they both saw the maid laying on the floor. "Amor it's ok now you can go back." as Harlen said, the maid left them being gloom, Harlen and Aira left alone.

Harlen began to take her dress in front of Aira. [ I-Isn't this bad!?] "what are you doing!?" as she said, "taking off my clothes and you see?" Harlen answer.
