Recap of what happened so far!
In the country of Salerno, in the capital city of Epsilon... Ethan was a blacksmith from the slums, working in his father's forge, but also working on his sword skills. One day he's brought to the arena and fights for his life against several knights. This includes the older Sir Dante. The king watched this fight (as did a certain Sir Briella, though Ethan was unaware), and was impressed. And so knighted the peasant, to the dismay of all the royal court. There was great stir in the castle, but the wayward knight did not care what the others thought about his brash behavior and unchecked tongue. In fact, the king seemed to find amusement in this, and thought it would be double the amusement to partner him with the stoic if not harsh and joyless Briella, the only female knight currently in court.
They were sent on a mission with a group of soldiers to investigate accounts of the undead and rumors of a necromancer. Ethan quickly took to calling Gabriella 'Gabby', to her irritation. So before running into battle from undead hoards, they made a deal. Should Ethan beat the necromancer, Briella would have a drink with him. Should Briella beat them, then there would be no drink. And Briella agreed to it only if he would stop calling her Gabby.
So they stormed the town, and through the undead to the town center. Ethan made it to the necromancer first, a woman. He couldn't get close because of her magic. So Briella came up behind, and cast a spell. It gravely weakened the knight, but rendered the necromancer powerless, allowing Ethan to cut her down. The undead dropped fully dead at the necromancer's demise. So Ethan brought the weakened Briella back to the city of Epsilon, where they agreed to later meet for a drink.
And so they got their drink, talking for a long time about battle stories, histories, and their passionate beliefs. Ethan saying how they were not much different, but Briella thinking likewise. The next day Briella left to spend time with her uncle, whose health was starting to fail. She was called back for a mission.
The king decided another mission would be given to the 'Wayward' Knight and the Lady knight. To retrieve some of the crown jewels that had been stolen. And so they were sent out on the three day trek, hunting down the gang of minatour bandits. Though they rode horses, at one point they had to go by foot. Briella in the lead, and Ethan behind, she stopped abruptly, only for Ethan to be unaware and bump into her. Briella turned on him, accusing him of groping, and so a fight breaks out. Ethan was about to win, when they were surrounded by those they had hunted. They fought, and the minatours were joined by great birds. Briella went into aerial combat with her magic, and quickly the two had killed the enemy and found the jewels.
Putting grudges aside, they headed back to the castle and returned the jewels. Only for Briella to receive a letter. In her anger she insulted Ethan and storms away when he attempts to comfort her, seeing her and Sir Dante as the closest things to friends he has in the castle. After Briella grieves for a bit she comes to apologize to Ethan, revealing that it had been news of her uncle's death. They spend time drinking and talking. Finally Briella asks if Ethan would accompany her to the ball. Usually she would go with her uncle, but now there is no reason to. He agrees and they part ways for the night.
The day of the ball comes, and they ready themselves. Ethan is in the meeting place first, watching the other nobles enter. He speaks with Dante and his wife for a moment before Briella arrive. Both are a bit shocked by the appearance of the other, and they enter the ball together. Eyes turn towards them, with snickers from gossiping ladies. But Briella pulls him to the side, out of the spotlight where the gazes no longer lingered on them.
