"Arthur, i will go to capital because i need to do something do you want to go with me?"
In a bright morning Emilia visit Arthur in his room who currently is writing something
"What are you doing Arthur? Can i take a look?"
Emilia see a lot of papers in his table and look like he spent a lot of time writing something there
"Ah, umm sorry can you wait a bit Emi?"
"Oh if you busy i can go with Ram so you can resume what you're doing Arthur "
Arthur pause a bit when he heard Emilia will go to capital with Ram
'Capital.... Ram... maybe today?'
"Emi, i need to do something... I'm really sorry can't accompany you to capital but how about it, i will take you there and how about you take Rem instead of Ram?"
"But if Rem go then th chores in the mansion.. you know it's not like i dissatisfied with how Ram work but this is about... how i said it.."
Seeing Emilia have a confused look when she tried to phrase it more nicely bring a little smile to Arthur
'She is really to soft'
"I must think about your safety so i want Rem who accompany you because she is more combat oriented than Ram. Also i can't leave for to long because i need to achieve something "
"This is about your divine protection?"
"Something in that line "
"Than i will accept your suggestion, wait a bit i will call Rem"
'Well count it as my compensation for you if you come'
Not long after that Emilia comeback with Rem who standing behind her.
"Sorry Rem i can't leave for the time being so can i count on you to protect Emilia?"
"Please be at ease Arthur-sama, Rem will protect Emilia-sama with Rem life if it need"
Rem bow her head and speak with solemn expressions and Arthur laugh lightly and pat her head a little
"If either of you in danger than i will step in, if worst situation happens don't make a reckless decision and try to preserve your life and wait for me"
"Rem understand "
"And Emi, put this ring on your finger . This is a protection ring, if you get sneak attack by someone this is can defend you for one time also this ring can send distresss signals to me. But ofcourse i hope you didn't encounter dangerous situation that required that ring to active"
But Emilia accept the ring without any dissatisfaction or anything like that and she put it in one of her finger.
"Well than let's go"

The trio reappear in one of alley entrances where Arthur used last time when he bring Emilia here, and they're parting there.
But Arthur didn't go back to mansion like he said to Emilia and Rem but he go to the highest building he can visit and scanning the capital, ofcourse the highest building is in the castle but he not foolish enough to climb it.
"Where are you... come on bro you're on your off duty why it's hard to find you..."
Arthur trying to finding Reinhard because he need him as an insurance and make sure not too many difference with how he see it in anime but he also doesn't want to just following a scenario so he will make a scenario himself.
"Ah there you're, let's make a it's a flashy first impression "
Arthur smile mischievously at Reinhard.
"Nice to meet you sword saint, Reinhard Van Astrea. My name is Arthur Spencer i hope we can become a great friend "
Reinhard very surprises because he didn't feel any other people come close to him but the man in front of him is a real person and not just illusion.
"Ofcourse i feel very happy to acquaintance with someone as strong as you, Arthur "
"Can you didn't call me like that? Called as strong person but a sword saint is feel like an insult you know?"
"But i didn't have intentions like that"
"Haha i know you are not have bad intentions i just want to said it, you're not use your duty?"
"Yeah i on my off day so i just walking around aimlessly "
Reinhard lower his guar because he think Arthur didn't have bad intentions
"You seems like didn't feel happy with your holiday Reinhard"
"Well maybe because i didn't have something to do so i became bored?"
"Hmmm, oh right why are the election not start already? I think as a member of royal knight you know the reason behind it so i hope you can tell me"
"Well this is not a secret but i rather feel wonder how you didn't know it"
Reinhard look to Arthur with surprise expressions paint in all of his face
'Shit i forget election need five people before it can start'
"Ah that's right.. ngg... how i said it... can you just accept it if i said i never ask about election to someone before?"
"Alright i believe in you, well we need to have 5 candidates before election can be start and currently we just have 4 candidates so we short of one person. Maybe this is because i didn't hardworking enough when find the last candidates"
"Finding a candidate is knight mission?"
"Well the elder council is give this task to royal knight so we have obligations to accept this mission and complete it as fast as we can"
"Do you need my help?"
"Come to think of this, are you a knight?"
"Are you wandering about my outfit?"
"Yeah , it's look like uniform for kingdom of Lugunica's knight except it's different color and you bring a sword and it's not just decorations sword "
"Well i didn't belong to any organization but you can said it i work as a knight to someone "
"Can i know who is it? Maybe i know he or her who is it"
"Well technically you know her, but without her permission i will not divulge it. Even if it's not a secret but as a knight you know it right"
"I'm sorry i ask something i mustn't say"
"If you're feel sorry then i need your help, today there will be a boy well maybe his age is around 17 years old and he has short black hair and brown eyes. As for his clothes... you can remember it the moment you look at him because he has unusual outfit and unusual name. Maybe he will scream for guard in some alley so if you heard it or meet with him please leand your hand"
"Well i have a plan to walk around so that's not to hard for me"
"Then i will tell you interesting information.... well with your ability you can pick something from how he will speaks but the most important thing i want to tell you is... he will guide you to the place where you can find the last candidates for the election, ofcourse this boy doesn't know it so you will be disappointed if you ask him.

"Wai- ah he left... really mysterious person and interesting person. Maybe i must reconsider his information?"
