The Captain of the knight squad, Levi, serves for the princess of the Kingdom of Eldia. As the only heir to the throne, the young princess was always under surveillance almost 24/7 with an elite knight squad and its Captain as her personal knight.

11 PM, Levi went to the princess' room to check up on her... only to find that she wasn't in her bed. Collected and calm as usual, he assumed it was one of her late-night castle escapes. He walked out of the palace and headed to the market place in his uniform.

He strode through the crowd, keeping an eye out for the princess, and finally, found a woman in an elegant dress that stood out.

"Tch..."

He let out a deep sigh and pinched the bridge of his nose while speaking clearly in his strict and stern tone.

"Your highness."
