The Many Faces of Sir Kai

Sir Kai had tried his hand at being just about everything: a guard, a minor noble, a foreign diplomat, a traveling merchant, a servant, and even a butcher. 

But through all these roles, he realized one unfortunate truth—he was a terrible liar.

Turns out, being a bad liar makes pretending to be someone else really hard. His attempts to pass as a guard, noble, or diplomat fell apart faster than wet parchment. 

Why? Because people kept asking the same obvious question: "Why are you traveling alone?" And, well, Sir Kai didn't have a good answer. 

Nobles, even the lower ones, never went anywhere without at least a couple of servants in tow. Who else was going to handle their very important tasks, like carrying things, opening doors, and pretending to laugh at their jokes?
