You are.

With everyone having received their orders, you lead Evelyn outside the castle and to the carriage waiting for you. The sun shines brightly on your pale skin as you sit in the carriage alongside your sister.

You sigh. ''You were the one who wanted to come here in the first place. Why was I the one who had to speak to father about our trip?''

Evelyn shrugs, ''Really, Big Brother? We all know how father favors you! You think I could get away with speaking to him like that?''

You scoff, ''Is it really that obvious?''

Evelyn chuckles, ''Not at all, but he does hold your opinion higher than mine, and I know he has always respected you.''

''Well, whatever... Is Benjamin ready? I'd like to see the six swordsmen he picked to escort us before we leave.''

Evelyn nods, ''He is right outside, just let me fetch him.''

You watch your sister walk out of the carriage. You get up from the chair and follow her.

When you reach the main entrance to the castle, there is a tall figure standing there.

''Benjamin, right on time. Are these the swordsmen who will escort us?'' You ask him.

Benjamin looks over the six swordsmen. ''Yes, sir. All of them fought in the Great Northern War. That alone should be enough proof of their worth.''
