You were a girl. Anyone that saw you would immediately know you were a girl. Maybe, when you were a child, you could’ve passed for a boy, but you’d grown into a woman. A woman with womanly features. So how on earth could you pull this off?

War had arrived at your kingdom’s door, and desperately needed to be defended. However badly you wanted to serve and help defend your home, you couldn’t. You were a woman. So you developed a plan. You were able to disguise yourself as a man by binding your chest and doing your long hair in a bun, a fashion popular with men. And you trained yourself. You learned how to walk a certain way and deepen your voice in speech in a way that sounded natural. You looked like a young man with feminine features.

When you became a knight, you were sent to camp to train. No one suspected you. Why would they? No one thought any woman would do this. Your captain was young. He was tough and serious. Everyone seemed to busy following his orders to pay attention to you.
