66 Flowers

"R-Rose sama! Are you sure that this is wise?" A knight in shining armour that literally glistened asked. 

"Of course it is, why wouldn't it be?" A lady dressed in what seemed to be an adventurers outfit. Sporting brown high leather boots. White trousers that sipped in. A belt that wrapped tightly around her waist and hips, with a longsword attached to it. A black dyed cloak that only went as far as her ass hid her upper-torso. Her access towards her weapon unobstructed. The lady sported strawberry-blonde hair that flowed down like a waterfall, the ends braided together.

"It's not too late to turn back!" Begged the knight

"Nonsense, with the two of us together we're basically unbeatable. As long as you're with me by my side, I'm safe no? Anyways, weren't you the one that suggested meeting this Hero?" The two were riding on horseback, peacefully traversing the lands.

"Yes, meet the hero that has been helping the people, yes! But not like this! I mean to summon him not to personally go visit him yourself your-"

"-Rose. Call me Rose."

"Rose samaaaaaa!" 

"But do tell Chris, don't you think it's somewhat romantic? I've heard he alone is capable of wiping entire bandit camps out. His face is built to perfection, maybe even sculpted by the Goddess herself." Rose honestly enjoyed teasing her knight.

"Yes yes, supposedly he is loved by the goddess of beauty, favoured by the war god and kind enough to answer the call of any damsel in distress~" Chris, peered into the distance, noting a village beyond the hills.

"Yes, exactly! I am a damsel no?"

"Not in distress you're not. No harm shall ever befall you your-"

"-Rose. Call me Rose."

"Sigh* But, honestly do you think he'll agree to join us?"

"I do, I really do. I'm confident he'll be charmed by your sweet sweet smile!" Rose, enjoying her little shenanigans soon forgot about the passage of time.

"ROSE SAMA!!!" Chris, being unbelievably easy to tease, blushed.

"Okay, okay. So remember, the plan is to ask him for help. Join him on a few adventures, and possibly a flower of love will bloom and when it does, I'll ask him to swear fealty upon me, obtaining his loyalty and assistance for my house. Not bad no?"

"Sigh* Rose, you really should take your mission more seriously."

"No no, no no. Let me live my life a little. I've spent most of my life cooped up, and the other years stuck in wars of intrigue fighting both friend and foe with smiles and petty sophistry. I'm tired, and this is my first real break. Let me have my fun! HMMPH!* I am a young, beautiful and pure maiden. I deserve to experience some kind of adventure and love!" Arms crossed around her chest, she pretended to be grumpy. 

Chris speechless from this shameless act, decided to simply agree to disagree.

...

Upon reaching the village, she sent Chris out to speak to the local people.
