I Want To Be A Knight Like My Dad

The voices of children playing together fill their play area.They play happily and enthusiastically regardless of their age.Their laughter and joy were clearly seen by a little girl named Elena a daughter of a Knight who served for the nobility in the place where she lived.

Elena who saw them behind the tree secretly because she didn't want them to know because she was a little embarrassed to start a conversation with the other.

"I want to play with them .... but I don't know how to do it ....what should I do ..."

Elena continued to look at them from a distance with a sad feeling of not being able to play together because they did not know each other.

"What are you doing here Elena? ... what are you looking at?"

"Kyaaa!"

The voice of an adult male suddenly popped up from behind Elena and made her scream in fear until it made her fall.

"I'm sorry if I startled you, Elena what are you doing here?"

"That's the question I should ask you actually! .... what are you doing here dad!"

Elena got up from where she had fallen while her father laughed as he apologized to her.

"Haha ... I'm on patrol here and when I passed here I saw my daughter who was watching something ... so I asked you about what you were doing"

"Errr .... I..."

Elena did not know how to explain to her father about the problem she was facing.

"Hey, uncle what do you want to do to that little girl! "

The child who was playing had heard Elena's screaming voice and then approached the direction of the voice and saw Elena and her father there.

"Eh? .... did they hear my screams just now?"

"Don't do anything weird uncle ... even if you're a Knight you shouldn't do anything weird to this little girl!"

"Wait a minute, I'm Elena's father and this little girl are my daughter"

The little boy didn't seem to believe him much.Then he asked Elena if this was true.And Elena said yes.

"Oh ... I'm sorry uncle...."

The children there also apologized to Elena's father.Elena's father just smiled and didn't care much about it.

"Haha ... it's okay, after all what you're doing is right ... maybe one day someone might want to do something bad so if you hear something like this do the same thing .... ok?

The children just nodded their heads.

"Oh, one more thing ... this daughter of mine has seen you since you guys played from earlier so I hope you can play with her ok?

"Ah! ... what are you doing dad ?!"

Elena who heard her father say that then panicked

"Really?!, Come on Elena if you want to play with us ... you can just ask us just now, the more it is, the more fun it will be!"

Yes, That's right!"

Elena didn't know she wanted to say anything to the children.

"Err ... thank you ... for ... ahhh ..."

Elena hid behind her father because she was ashamed to say anything.

"Wow ... you're a little shy, aren't you?

Said the girl among the children.

"Sorry ..."

Elena's father looks down at Elena and tells her to play with them and ask Elena to come back before dinner time.

"But ..."

Elena's father placed his hand on Elena's head and stroked her hair.

"Enough, have fun with them and that's something you need to do for you to do at a young age."

Elena's father then left to continue the patrol while waving his hand as a signal he was going to leave

"See you later ... dad"

Elena just accepted what had already happened and let it pass.

"Hey ... what's your name?

A boy asks Elena her name.

"Ah ... my name is Elena ... nice to meet you"

"Elena? ... nice name ... my name is Roland ... nice to meet you too!

"My name is, Alice, it's nice to meet you Elena

"I'm Alex and I want to be strong when I grow up!"

"Alicia ... is my name ... nice to meet you"

All the children introduced themselves to Elena.

"Err ... so what are you guys playing?

"We are playing a game of imitation ... in this game one will perform the action of an animal and whoever manages to guess it is the winner"

"Often we play catch-up and hide-and-seek ... so this is a new game for us as well.

"Oh ... I see"

Elena began to show interest in the game.

"So you want to come along, play this game?

Elena's eyes then showed a smile and said yes and they all played that game.

Elena with her new friend played happily and time passes quickly when doing something fun.

The evening has arrived.

Most of the residents there have started returning to their homes, including Elena and her new friend

They went back together while chatting with each other.

"Do you know Elena? ... yesterday Alice dropped her toy into the well and she didn't stop crying like a baby"

"Alex! ... didn't you promise not to tell anyone about this ... ahhhh"

"Hahaha .... because it's funny when I remember your face crying that day"

Alice then chased after Alex and they ran very funny.

Elena and the others laughed together watching the action of the two of them.

"Elena ... your father is a Knight isn't he?

"Yes,why did you ask? ..."

Elena wanted to know why he was her asking that about that.

"Actually, I want to be a knight when I'm an adult ..."

"Oh ... why do you want to be a knight?"

Elena who starts to be curious with Roland's statement.

"Being a knight is the highest honor that can be achieved by ordinary people in this country ... after all this can also change the fate of my family from ordinary people

"Oh ... very interesting"

"Elena do you want to be Knight when you're an adult?

"Uh?!, me did you say?!"

"Yes... You are."

Elena didn't know how to answer the question.

"Actually ... I have the intention to follow in my father's footsteps ... But I'm a little embarrassed to tell him"

"Why are you so embarrassed to tell him?"

Elena then twisted her fingers in her hair because she was a little embarrassed.

"Because ... I don't know if a woman can be a Knight"

"Hahaha! ... Is that why you? .... Hahaha!"

Roland laughed at Elena's answer.

"Hey !, why are you laughing .... That's right what I said ... Isn't it?"

"Hahah ... Oh, Elena, even a woman can be a Knight, moreover, any woman's request to follow it is welcome for women, even though the number of women is less than men, there are still female knights who are no less great than men"

"Really?! .... Then!"

"Yes ... You can come if you want ... But it's not easy to come in, regardless of whether you're a man or a woman"

"I don't care ... I want to follow in my father's footsteps as a knight!"

Elena was then excited when she got the answer.

"Good then ... I hope you can come in ... Before that you have to ask your father first"

"All right ... I understand"

Alicia who was next to them just listened to them and didn't know what to say about it.

The evening at that time ended well.Elena had a fun time together with her new friends.

After arriving at her house, Elena said goodbye and entered her house.

"I'm home...."

Elena's father then saw Elena who had just returned from playing and greeted her.

"How was today ... Was it fun? ..."

Elena's face was filled with a smile on her face.

"Yes !, thank you dad!"

Elena's father just smiled seeing the daughter having a fun time with her new friends.

"Dad ... I have something to ask for ...."

"What is it? ... what do you want?"

Elena gathered all her courage and told her father what she wanted.

"I want to be a Knight like you .... I hope you can train me"

Elena's father was silent for a moment and then smiled again while stroking Elena's head.

"Oh? ... Are you sure? ... Being a knight is not an easy thing Elena .... There are many responsibilities that need to be shouldered that need to be fulfilled"

"Yes !, I'm sure!"

Elena answered with complete confidence.

"Okay .... after you have celebrated your 12th birthday you will start your training under my training .... Now you do what you want to do"

"Thank you so much dad!"

"Okay, now you take a shower first ... You must be a bit dirty after playing ... After the shower we will have dinner together .... Ok?"

Elena just nodded her head. Elena then went upstairs to take a shower.

"My wife Elfina, it looks like the time for Elena has arrived ... I hope you can see her from up there ...."

Elena's father saw a picture of Elena's mother on the wall of the house while thinking about Elena's future.

That night Elena and her father had dinner full of laughter and that night was a memory that Elena will never forget.

After that, time has already passed 2 years after that and Elena has already celebrated her 12th birthday.
