"Nieve, that's enough." I said. "It is not like you to act this way, the Queen would also be angered if she saw you acting so unknightly."

"I can also offer my protection." I said. "I don't think that would mean much for those that don't know me, but if they ever dare invade your kingdom, I'll crush them."

"L-Lady Planta…" The King and the Princess were both moved by my words.
