"that man said that the ride to the capital would be easy.." he grumbled as he knocked out the last of the rebels who were trying to steal his money.
He had been travelling for two days and the palace was finally coming into view.
He had been told that the heir apparent would often meet the common folk during their free time, so maybe he could ask them for help..
Finally reaching the market near the palace, he saw the royal guards next to the heir who was talking to a little girl.
Orpheus noticed a band of criminals who were eyeing the heir. Noticing a bow and arrow in the hands of one of them and some sort of drug in the hands of another, he realised that they were going to attempt to kidnap the heir, probably for ransom or something.
The second one of them tried to attack the heir, he intercepted, managing to overpower them before the guards arrested them all.
The heir apparent was amused, inviting him to the palace, noticing that he wasn't from here and to perhaps share his story.
But in the palace, the maids immediately dragged him away to first freshen up before going into the inner wings of the palace.
And that's how this 6'3 man ended up in a bathtub with two maids harshly lathering him up in soap as they commented on his appearance in the regional language which he could secretly understand.
