She's That Knight Known As Zero

They both looked back and saw her face a little bit red. They almost couldn"t stop themselves from laughing, it has been so long since the last time they saw her blush this way. The last time was back in the north tower where she was fl.u.s.tered.

"I actually... have no foot wear..." Eureka said as she looked down at her bare feet.

Akihiro and Haruka must have been too focused on her arrival that they also didn"t notice this. Eureka have returned right after waking up from her coma and so she was obviously not wearing anything in her feet.

Realization flashed through their faces before Azusa and Feena tasked a servant to bring a shoe in Eureka"s size.

"I guess we need to help you shop for your things after bringing you to where you will be staying," Azusa commented as they wait for the servant to return.

"But I have no money..." was her reply as she once again bowed her head.

Feena and Azusa looked at each other, they are not used in interacting with her like this. She had always been the one leading the talks or most of the time she would be listening. To see her in such a shy way, they couldn"t help but to sigh.

"That"s right," as if remembering something, Eureka looked up at the two of them.

"I still didn"t have your names. I know it is a bit uncommon since you are basically my guards due to the fact that I am a suspicious person. But I still find it inappropriate to just keep calling you both as miss knight since the two of you are ladies. So uhmmm my name is Eureka, how about you?"

She noticed the emotions that pa.s.sed through their eyes after finis.h.i.+ng her words but she chose not to dwell on it.

"We... thought you have no memories?" Feena asked inquiringly.

Eureka smiled in return, "I only have my name though, after opening my eyes, it was the only name I have heard and when everything finally became clear I was already in the forest."

They once again looked at each other, just in time for the servant to arrive.

"Feena." "Azusa."

As she put on the shoes, Feena and Azusa said one after another. Her movements momentarily stopped before putting it on. She stood up and bowed down once again.

"It is my pleasure to be acquainted with you, lady Feena, lady Azusa."

After this, the three finally left the castle and started walking to where she shall be staying. Eureka looked around attentively at the same time excitedly.

After a while she touched her chest, "Just as yesterday, it feels nostalgic."

She then looked up the at the two figures walking in front of her, "They all have the same eyes."

"Feena may I know who this person is? Why are the two of you with her? I never saw her before, could she be from another kingdom?" one knight approached them and spoke up.

Obviously the beautiful lady with these two caught the attention of a number of men and women a like.

Men were obviously stunned by her beauty while women were jealous of it.

"Back off," was all Feena said, together with her blazing eyes. The knight could only back off.

They dare hit on Eureka on her first time going around town upon arriving? Even if Raven showed anger and all, the two of them still couldn"t think of what may happen to them if other men would hit on Eureka while with them.

Eureka, on the other hand, didn"t even spare a glance to this knight. She was engrossed on her thoughts and the view of the kingdom.

Soon they arrived at what looked like to be the edge of the city. Just like the house she lived with Kaoru, this one is at the opposite side but still at the edge of the city. And on this side there were only two houses beside each other.

Before getting to the city, you"ll have to pa.s.s through a forest then a park. It was just a 10 minute walk. But was far enough for this place to have peace.

Feena and Azusa looked back at her, they have no idea what was going on in her mind.

"I hope you will be at ease here," Azusa said.

"This is perfect for me, being close to nature and the peacefulness this place gives. I like it very much, I should thank the king for giving me such a place despite my background," Eureka replied with a smile.

"Well despite your background, the king couldn"t treat his younger sister too badly, could he?" the two of them thought at the same time after hearing her reply.

"What"s going on here?" a voice then sounded from behind the three of them.

"Oh, hi Raven. The king have tasked us to escort Eureka at where she will be living while she is still under investigation," Feena replied ignoring the aura coming from Raven.

"That guy, he did this on purpose," Raven"s eyebrows twitched upon hearing this.

"Well do you think I will allow you to actually stay away from her when she"s already here? Dream on, my friend, dream on," was what was going on in Rino"s mind.

Raven then noticed something from Feena"s words, "Eureka?"

"That is..." Azusa replied.

"Please allow me to introduce myself, I am Eureka. But other than my name I have no idea of where I came from or what was I doing before coming here," Eureka continued after her previous silence.

Raven gritted his teeth, she spoke so calmly and naturally. Just like before despite facing so many strangers she could handle herself just fine. Of course the always be difference was her cold demeanor in the past.

Raven then nodded at her before going to the house beside where Eureka will be living. He didn"t look back as he went inside his house, closing the door behind him.

"Well that is Raven, he will be your neighbor. As you can see he is someone who was detached and all but he"s a good guy," Feena said with a shrug.

All of them obviously have the same thought as Rino and making Eureka stay near to Raven might help despite not one of them speaking about the past.

Eureka smiled in return after hearing them explain.

"It was already afternoon, we still haven"t have our lunch. Would you like to accompany us? For you to get acquainted with the place," Azusa then said after checking the time.

After thinking for a bit, "Very well then, I shall trouble you for such."

The three then returned to the city to have some lunch, then the two of them toured her around at the same time doing some simple shopping for her daily needs. Well she only relented after they said that it shall be her debt to them.

And that she of course needed to start at something otherwise she would only be wearing her white dress while staying there.

Just as the sun sets the three finally waved goodbye at each other. Feena and Azusa watched her enter the house before turning around and the tears they have been holding back finally dropped as they walked back holding each other for support.

Raven was watching this scene from the window of his room. His first house was actually renovated with Kaoru"s house so he had no other choice but to transfer.

Eureka"s eyes then flashed back to his mind.

"It was calm and serene, is this really what you wanted? You don"t even feel sad in such a strange world," he muttered before lying down on his bed ready to sleep despite it still being early.

*****

Eureka"s house was a simple one, upon entry there was the living room and the kitchen, with the bathroom. Up the stairs was the bedroom that was half the size of the first floor. But it was more like the attic, only the railings were blocking someone from falling off.

The bed was placed at the middle beside a floor to ceiling window, that could be opened for one to go out in the balcony that was over looking the vast land behind the house. Since this was at the edge of the kingdom, what you could see was the land outside the main walls of the kingdom. The vast land before the borders.

Eureka stood there with her eyes closed and the wind accompanying her, "What was that p.r.i.c.k when I saw him?"

She thought as she placed her hand on her chest.

*****

"That"s right, no matter how your mind forgets everything, your heart would still remember, though vaguely. I wonder what would be their final decision after this?"

He was once again sitting in a tree leaning on the trunk with his hands nehind his head.

"I"m getting too used being in this world aren"t I? I just want to leave," he sighed after muttering.
