Minako followed him and saw something she remembered and stopped a minute and remembers those years ago. Minako remember the bodies of the house of wolves and it haunted her and now it still does but she hides it. Minako followed him and sees the ruin of the castle and looks in it and remembers and said "this place still haunts me.." Minako looked around and looked at one spot and remembers the day she meet Joseph that is one thing she loved about that day she met him.

Joseph was looking around, holding his head. Memories were rushing back through his head like a stream. "What.....why...who...?"he kept asking himself.

Minako turned around and looked at him and saw something was wrong with him. Minako got closer to Joseph and put her hand on his shoulders and said "Joseph are you alright?"

"I just realized.....I'm the last member of my house....I am the ruler of this land, but I'm in exile from my own home....."He said, placing a hand on a mantle of armor. It was forged with Blue-steel, which was considered a pinnacle art of Smithing. Joseph looked around, and picked up a book, looking through it. "Hey, Minako....would you like to become a Knight of the House of Wolves?"he asked, looking at one page.

Minako looked at him and watched him a bit and put her hand on her chest and was sad a bit. Minako looked him and looked at the armor and remember this well. Minako remember the way it was made. Minako looked at him and saw the book and heard what he said about her being a knight and she would love to but it wouldn't be fair to her father. Minako wanted to be the best blacksmith and she wanted to fall in love but she knows it would happen. Minako looked at him and said "I can't i really want to be a blacksmith and something else is on my mind."

"I doubt being a Knight of a Almost Dead house would mean much of anything, other than being symbolic. "He said. "Tell me, Do you prefer light armor, or Heavy armor?"he asked.

Minako looked at him and looked away from him "i like light armor but it doesn't matter now Joseph you...You..." Minako then cried a bit "you don't understand me!" Minako ran out and ran to the river and back in the woods.

(wow, my guy really is oblivious xD)

Joseph ran after her. "Wait! Minako!"he yelled.

Minako was far away from him and she was in the woods and she was crying. Minako then stopped and then saw she wasn't alone. Just then men came to her and Minako got her sword out but then a man knocked her out and Minako was kidnap by a knight. The knight looked at her and smirked and picked her up and ran out of the woods and took her to the castle.

Joseph ran after her, and saw signs of a struggle. He then followed the footsteps, following them back to the castle. He slipped in through a window, and began looking for Minako in the most logical place: the dungeon. When he found no sign of her there, he began looking for signs of the knight.

Minako woke up in a nice room and thought it was lovely and she was wearing a dress that wasn't her. Minako got up and looked around a bit and looked out the window and saw knights around and looked worried.

The knight came in and bowed to her and then a handsome man came in and he was like a lord of this place. The lord came to her and bowed to her "I am so sorry what happen to you Miss but I am the lord of this castle and well i bought you here to marry me."

Minako looked at him and was sad and mad about this but she couldn't say anything about it he was a lord of the castle and Minako nodded to him.

The lord smiled and bowed "please meet me at Dinner the maid will help you." The lord left and Minako was alone.

Joseph overheard this, and was furious, to say the least. He didn't even know why, but a fire was building up in his chest, and he wanted to scream in rage. Waiting until the Knight had left the room, He walked boldy in front of the Knight. "You there! I challenge your right to Marry her!"He yelled, clear enough for anyone to hear. A challenge, especially to a knight, was a slap to the face to anyone in Nobility.

The knight left room and saw a man and didn't think of it and said to challenge him for the right to marry her and he was in shock but he isn't the one to marry her and sigh "Sir if you want a challenge my lord to marry her then you will."

Minako heard some people were talking and it was loud. Minako opened the door and saw Joseph and didn't know what was going on and looked at him.

(Crap, read that wrong)

"So be it. Bring the man here. We will settle this in the proper way. "He said, placing his hand on his sword. An emblem was stenciled on his armor: it was the symbol of the house of wolves.

((it is okay))

The knight nodded and went to get the lord.

Minako saw the knight left and talk to him "Joseph what are you doing this and how you know where i was?" Minako got in front of him and looked at him.

"I tracked the two of you from where you were caught."he said, hugging her. "I'm just glad you're okay."he said

Minako looked at him and blushed when he hugged her and Minako looked at him and then hugged him back and cried in his chest.

Joseph sat her down, and waited for The Lord to come. He didnt know why, but he felt....alive.

Minako looked at him and and blushed a bit and she was in a dress and hates it "I hate this I hate wearing a dress this is not me." Minako looked at him "What do you think about the dress?"

"It doesn't fit your personality, but it complements you greatly."he said.

Minako looked at him and blushed a bit and heard someone coming and it was the lord and his knight.

The lord was walking and he was not happy and said "so you are the man who wants to marry this young lady?"

Joseph knew that to challenge on the Basis on Marriage was to agree to marry to the woman, and though He never mentioned it to Minako, he had been smitten by her since they met 15 years ago. "Yes, I am. I am Joseph Vazquez, and I represent the House of Wolves Nobility. "he said.

The lord was in shock by he was a prince and smirked still and said "you might be nobility sir but I will still win for this lady hand marriage." The lord looked at her and took her hand and kissed it and smiled at her.

Minako looked at the lord and saw he kissed her hand and didn't like the guy and looked at Joseph she felt he was getting mad about this but Minako always like Joseph 15 years ago and never told him how she felt she thought only her as a friend.

"You shall feel the Bite of the Wolf Today. Choose your weapon, and The Battlefield. By Old Tradition, the Elder goes first. "He said, bowing. He remembered his Teachings in civility well, and kept his composure, even though he had a raging beast in his stomach.

The lord looked at him and sigh "my rapier please and lets do it here you should be dead soon and she will belong to me." The lord smirked and waited to start.

Minako got out of the way she was the prize and she was worried about Joseph she loved him as a friend and a crush but was worried.
