Black blouse. White shirt. Ruby in the middle. Scarlet red hair. Deep blue eyes. Red skirt. Posh Black boots and black knee socks. Ria RazenHeir, the youngest scion of the RazenHeir house. Her mastercrafted revolver in her hoister, her silver rapier in her hand. Her physique, but was nonetheless a knight wielding the power of her house.

Ria : "What's my schedule?" Maid : "Breakfast with Marquess Kercelas. Reading lesions 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 waiting. Ria grabbed his hand, mounted onto the saddle. The beast remained 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. Black leather suit, following the contours of her toned muscular body. On her back, she hoisted a claymore wider and longer than Ria's horse. Armed to the teeth. Throwing knives, potions, bombs strapped all over her suit. To her side, a shorter sword, and a musket hoister. Each is bigger than Ria's entire body.

Lifting her head, Ria saw the most beautiful face she had ever seen. Pinkish fair skin. Red eyes sparkling like rubies. Perfect proportions. Lush long hair. Slightly ruffled. Silver, 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, disappearing within a blink of an eye.

Moments later, she returned. Cleaner. Hair tied up in a ponytail. Cloth shoulder pauldrons, and a skirt just above the knee. All black. Only the sword and hand cannon remained visible.

Ria stared at the giant. Powerful, elegant, stalward, beautiful. 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. I'll make arrangements for more fitting attire in due time." 

"Thank you, my lady." 

Ria : "Let us depart."
