The girl with purple hair

"Welcome to my humble home, Princess Venedette."

"It is my pleasure, Sir Graham," Venedette responded respectfully to the owner of the house that they were staying for the night and Venedette's friend for a long time now.

"Do we also greet?" Gem whispered to Fily that caught Sir Graham's attention.

"Who are these lovely kids, aside from Von and Lei, of course," Sir Graham said, meaning that Von and Lei had already been acquainted with him before.

"This is Gem and Fily, Sir. Recruits for my team for the tournament." Venedette said to the old man with white hair and beard. He was fit, but also a little bit on the chubby side if you look at his tummy. A typical Lord, if you must say.

"Pleasure to meet you, Sir." Fily responded and signaled Gem to make a slight bow with her.

"Oh," Gem whispered and followed Fily's instructions immediately.

"Are you saying these girls will also fight alongside your boys outside of the borders?"
