Erina: your from Rome.

(Y/n): yup.

Erina: during the roman empire.

(Y/n): yup.

Erina: you are wearing centurion armor which is Roman, and if that's the case you must be a servant that lived during the Roman Empire which makes no sense how you were in King Arthur's court.

(Y/n): that makes sense to me.

Erina: no it doesn't that means you are a Roman soldier from the roman Empire not a Knight!!

(Y/n): no, I'm (Y/n) of Londinium Knight of the Round Table.

A young girl hummed to herself as she swept dirt out the doorway trying to complete her chores as fast as possible so that she could go back to training

Cleaning her hands with a cloth she reaches for the hearth pulling out the tray with bread poking a finger into it to test the quality satisfied she wraps one in cloth

Stepping outside she's met with a cool breeze smiling she walks around the hut finding a man hammering metal into a sword his hair was blonde a trait shared between them except unlike her eyes which were a gentle green his were a vibrant red

Standing next to him was a short sturdy man wearing blacksmith clothing

???: damn it lad, you can't hit it that hard you need to be more gentle unless you break the metal.

???: listen old man, I'm trying my best but between training her and making due around the place I can't do both.

???: agh, leave while I fix this mess.

???: tsk stupid man...is that bread I smell?

???: yes, a fresh batch a good one too and I know how much you love bread.

???: thank you, hah humanity's greatest creation.

The man takes a bite out of the bread looking past him at "old man" placing the ruined blade in the furnace

???: is Ector still hard on you?

???: the old man thinks he can teach me stuff, I find it stupid when the reason why I'm here is for you.

???: I don't get how you keep calling him old man? he lets you stay with us so long as you teach me and Kay how to wield a blade.

???: well, it makes me feel better because I'm already past my prime and I hope I don't end up looking like him.

She smiles at his joke when her attention is then drawn towards the empty fields were a tournament is going on

???: what are they doing out there?

???: it's just a tournament between knights no big deal.

She recalls that the man was once a soldier in the Empire back when it stood unconquered...and undivided

???: are you going to compete?

???: no, perhaps when I was younger I may have.

The man says as he takes another bite of his bread the girl looks towards the tournament once more then to the hut

???: your old armor is still in good condition...

???: I'm not going to...

???: I'm sure you could bring back the Empire only if you've tried and protect the whole world like it once used to.
