"Uh-" she hesitated, in a full-on state of panic now. Attracting attention was never a good thing in the current world, but attention from Emperor Ray himself? That wasn't good at all, especially given the furious state he was in. "I was-" she started but got cut off by the boy. "I was the one who started talking to her father. She's just staying with her brother during his training, and I had nothing better to do while you inspected the knights," he said, rising to meet his father's glare. Emperor Ray looked at Willow as if he were inspecting her as if he was trying to glare through her soul to find the two teenagers caught in a lie in some way. Finding nothing, he looked back at his son. "I've told you countless times not to wander off and talk to random peasants. Especially girls like her," he said, motioning towards Willow. Suddenly, Will came running over to the trio. "Your Majesty," he said, bowing towards Emperor Ray. "Is my sister causing issues for you?" he asked, giving a dark look to Willow. "No, Sir Will," Emperor Ray said, reading his name badge. "My son was the one causing the issues. She just was the unfortunate soul to get roped up in the mess. Don't worry. I'll forgive her...this time," he said, once again, focusing his dark eyes on Willow. Willow studied him, noticing he had the same midnight black hair as his son, but his eyes were the darkest brown Willow had ever seen, a stark contrast to his son's chocolate eyes. After a small pause, Emperor Ray, turned, gesturing for his son to follow him. His son rose, going to follow him, but not before shoving something into Willow's right hand. Willow clutched it tight, careful not to let anyone see it. "I'm going to head back to drill. Stay out of trouble Willow," Will ordered, running back to his formation. Willow sat down, sighing, before opening her right hand. It was a small note. Although women couldn't do much, they could read, solely because husbands and fathers needed to leave instructions for their wives and daughters at different points. She unwrapped the folded note, and read it. "My name is Ren. I'll find you again soon, sister of knight."
