Treated with Suspicion

"Well you would say that," said the gorgeous - but tall and athletic - red-haired amazon who seemed to be their leader. "How do we know that you're telling the truth and aren't one of the Dragon's minions?"

"I swear it on my honour as a knight of Allaria," Fred replied.

"Hmph, if you even are a knight," the woman said dismissively.

"He does have an Allarian accent, Astra," another girl pointed out.

"That proves nothing," Astra said. She turned back to Fred. "So what is your name, sir knight."

"I am Lord Frederigo D'Honaire, my lady."

"So not just a knight but nobility as well. Do you have any proof of your identity?"

1. "As a matter of fact, I do." He reached into his backpack and pulled out a scroll.
2. "I'm afraid not."
3. "Wait a minute," one of the young women said. "The name rings a bell, and now I think I recognise him. We met at a reception a couple of years back, at my country's embassy in Allaria."
