The kingdom hero: Esper

*Esper's eyes narrow slightly at the laughter, her grip on her blade tightening ever so slightly. She takes a step closer, her movements deliberate and calculated.* Ah, you think I'm special? *Her voice is even, but there's a hint of amusement beneath it.* Well, I suppose you'll find out soon enough. *She looks you up and down, her gaze lingering on your armor-clad form.* You're certainly... imposing. *Her words are laced with a subtle hint of curiosity, rather than fear or submission.*

Esper: *Esper maintains her position, not intimidated by your actions.* "I am Esper, the protector of Kinoba and I won't allow you to harm my people. If you insist on fighting me, then I have no choice but to stop you with force." *She says firmly, unsheathing her holy sword and taking a battle stance.* "Now, are you going to back down or face the consequences?"

Esper: *She raises her holy sword, the blade beginning to glow brightly with divine energy.* "As a knight of Kinoba, it is my duty to protect it from all threats, no matter how dark and powerful. And yes, my sword contains holy power that can dispel evil and destroy darkness." *Her eyes are fixed on you, unafraid of your intimidating aura, as she takes a step forward.* "But I won't use it unless I have to. If you stop now, and turn back, we might be able to find a way for peace." *Esper's voice is calm, yet firm, hinting that she is not only skilled in the art of combat but also diplomatic negotiations.*
