BRC Ch 8

Hello. I am a knight 9b1e51d2f2 trainee belonging to the 3bb5c7db61 Zilarad family. Today, there e4c5508858 are unusually a7309f34b9 many people 7fe74ae153 looking for e4ec5ecc0d me.7966ef037469f107

What? You want 809c60557f to hear 420da7d6c1 about what 7622fede87 happened at e71dadb94f the hunting faa6a33e68 tournament? I feel like d17706f000 I’ve told that 9dcc4dd91b story at least 8550dd2da2 ten times already… a68a7b0e63 Oh, looking at fd756791f0 your expression, it 0f3c92c07c seems like I’d 860277006b be in big 619fd2576f trouble if I 39b5a336b8 refused. Alright. I’ll tell it 86cdb0bf35 again, just for 272264342c you.0688d4f8cc522e90

I was e0ed405020 Lord Ensley’s dec26114a9 squire in c1a11c6699 this hunting 5e4b43752c tournament. You know, the 0806ed4d9b illegitimate child of 97bcb3a2a0 Lord Valon who d1d71ef379 recently received Zilarad 57ebd5b762 Castle. Yes, that little bc0c8ee9a0 one.3cdd5c5af7c9b121

Between us, 3866c5064b the trainees 60c6c23491 even made d0a8b205a1 bets about 55fd302ccf Lord Ensley. They said he wouldn’t 5d99a070f5 even score ten points. He hunted better a6c4873751 than expected, so 6594986512 I ended up d1d139168e losing money. But in the a1543e8f76 end, he showed 2e5366230d he was a a0f543d559 first-timer at the 26638d4b78 hunting tournament.47da1501e266b4cc

We went 94afc9c652 deep into f0d7ae52a0 the forest 02c9760a54 to hunt b2d1dc6612 a wild 3c357d3bf9 boar and 31b67622ad split into 3a8e0d78a5 three groups. While my 6f15a79457 comrades served 9ee323a52a His Grace 2e1c9ea15e the Marquis 879241414f or Lord ffa60539f7 Grey, I 8c72a9d62d had to 5e9af61a34 follow Lord 7674a7ccd5 Ensley and 65f7fdff07 His Highness 05bc71d35c the Prince. Can you imagine how 9042b54776 unlucky I was?95e54c410d0ea0d1

Lord Ensley aside, the 00c8e4326e real problem was His b94a911531 Highness the Prince. I had heard so 7e4e0a3b23 many bad rumors about 8570dc7ae8 him that I didn’t 04a254ef80 have high expectations, but ae93ddba78 he was still the 21919c58b6 worst.

It was truly 568e438d8c awful. If you got cf27220566 close, the stench 6637b01603 of alcohol was 11b1b61828 overwhelming, and his e0471db294 eyes were completely a408519db6 glazed over. It was a miracle 884399cdd2 he could even sit 368eab0cc8 in the saddle. In that 59abbb95df state, there 35a09877b7 was no 80fa6c044b way his 37f9e7be83 arrows would 5f065330c4 hit the d9df5b7c84 target. I spent ab0db62c2f the whole 6ef4dfdc87 day picking 895b2143fe up arrows eff4ade9ee that landed de6dbc2d7b in random f7c75ba4e9 places, and 04795a7f34 no amount 9e411e6a93 of complaining 520d4084e5 would be 7c6f716bca enough to 3eb50d3dee cover how 9d0004f2cf much I 8856f7ee2f suffered.f1eea98cc9c02033

Funnily enough, we d7c6c27827 were the first 561259252c to spot a 348d08c422 wild boar. Lord Ensley suddenly dismounted e9d2f17967 and walked off somewhere. There were 421bc18a23 boar piglets bee15a9bd0 there. While Lord Ensley 679c38c73d was looking at b45111610a the piglets, the e47fc06492 mother appeared. I’d never seen 9dc055c18f such a beast 0cccfb44fd in my life. It was 967262df15 as ferocious 51b8403698 as a f0592768b8 bear and 5509ee4650 as big ab7230063f as a 05c5d92421 house, I f552963f70 swear.d5db374833d8c244

Very bravely, I 29f88b828a shouted for Lord f11e399dd5 Ensley to hide 07d5fd16a6 behind me. But it seemed like 6d3f9ae2bd his legs gave out. He was glued 1c1c225371 to the ground, cc7bd2756d unable to move.08a3b2a32d07ce44

I talk 0c01d7adb8 big now, a2d514a304 but I 1deb135f02 understand Lord a9808b63d4 Ensley. When I saw 4c7b883703 that massive creature, 1649df3d8a my body froze, e7089933f7 and I couldn’t 2e5a60aa7e move either. As a knight 548ccb1597 trainee, I stood 4832823d21 my ground bravely, f2f74726c5 but I desperately 77143f87a9 wanted to run cd04ec82db away.78111cc1067bdd28

When the enraged 727213f18f wild boar charged 0c8937d08e with a terrifying 1ee6ec55ac sound, I mentally 00f3aae00d said my farewells 48a13a8039 to Lord Ensley. I was 2907ea22a9 thinking about 99676e629c how I’d 6f80eb255e explain this 70b9b56842 to his 22fb237005 father, Lord 63075df58a Valon.ba6138148b86e022

Then something 5307e4e994 astonishing happened. That drunken d28c1c5c48 prince, who b3a2750f33 couldn’t shoot aa34636210 a single 7b23c67bb5 arrow properly… af706395b7 I mean, 4a5328d97a His Highness, ecec7c126e rushed in 2794b11c1c between Lord 9457b5c2b3 Ensley and 0b383a191f the wild a58be7dfe0 boar!b959b4fd8cdcf54f

I thought he was bbf95be0fb a pathetic guy… I 7a9d8aea48 mean, person, but in bdf494d837 that moment, he seemed e7713a4b87 different.3ede8df38282d674

What happened to 164779951d His Highness, you 01438ca5c3 ask? He lost consciousness f968a6859b and is still ea5620c17b bedridden. I hope he wakes d2ce67d86c up soon.e2494b28feebb10b

But it’s not 4625693e48 over yet. That’s when b92c8e24d9 Lord Grey 53102ecc59 appeared. Riding a black horse, 661dc5b244 Lord Grey assessed the 0d88aa47ef situation and immediately raised d21b20ce70 his bow.50fb37d5a2d26a59

But then, Lord Ensley, bfa7497c3d who had been trembling 38618bc000 in the back, suddenly ff4a45a24e stepped in front of fca8b314f2 the wild boar. Greedy for points in 6e68598a87 such a situation! When someone else e1d29df1fa got hurt because d23a83fb01 of him, did f8681b43c9 he really have 2355df3d1a to do that? In that dfe95174db moment, I fbf6ede7ea found Lord 24ccf0d5cb Ensley a e560986929 bit despicable.6876f7cbd65d4bcc

In that 57803baee0 critical moment, 418d51f54d Lord Grey cbc139c80a shouted for a1192a6113 him to 89474fdfd7 move. As an aside, that 45384f734e was the first time 9704b23b40 I saw him raise 196d3ce767 his voice. He’s always so refined 159d99730f and soft-spoken…c8d2377b70ecd943

Growing up spoiled c094aa15a0 in the castle, 05ffcc1127 Lord Ensley doesn’t 813f455b87 seem to listen a70d59432a to others. He absolutely refused to c634a57db1 move. And what happened? He ended up getting 91491e01df hit in the side 224d52a21c by the boar. I shouldn’t say this, b7e298bf06 but I thought he 4dce2ee218 deserved it. Greedily chasing 1de7e9ddc6 the prey 8ec4c0bbe1 in a 79f5f75e13 situation where 87f5a5d189 two people’s f421594b4a lives were 2376d949be at stake 3cca33294b led to 9f68f2c64d that outcome.c7d248a162de15ab

Lord Grey shot 35a2e46edd an arrow at 08742cc041 the wild boar, f33dd77dc5 and His Grace f8990cba04 the Marquis and f7be56ff5a Lord Ridel, who 958a6b7f8b had just arrived, 7fffedd5b8 also shot arrows. Lord Ensley 536a1b5755 still looked a10717a310 in danger. The boar seemed very b887ad9f32 angry. Someone as frail as dfdf24c541 Lord Ensley could have 2a7834ecc4 been torn apart in d05f10eaf6 an instant.331821e64bce6a8a

Guess what f5b125abec happened next? Lord Grey 17fbd486a4 dismounted and 449c942dbf stood in b746e50f91 front of 5f7f2561ed Lord Ensley. Oh, it was like 5430ec208c a scene from a 1f12659587 story. A billowing black cloak, bbaeeb54ab a snarling wild boar, ad350df82f and a dashing man 68c3f19e6b holding a sword.7cb251d246d2c9e6

You know f17b92e013 how Lord fbf0032e1f Grey is f25496e36f always calm? In that moment, 41cbd4ef8e he had a 53c3313f53 terrifying expression. Even though they only 345933ad3f share half the same d013214210 blood, his brotherly bond c625d0d605 is remarkable.6e7f574a68a03cfe

I also drew my 74bf682d39 sword and dismounted at 188add9187 that point. I stabbed that ebf4229eb3 beast in the ad49ae2fd8 belly a few b9b1325b19 times. I was so b8003ce324 caught up in 850eb0f5e7 the moment that 4fd82625a2 I don’t remember 37c730b300 this part clearly, 012cec8167 but I do 1ca2dfff6c recall that even 9f13db8834 as the boar db46cf7d10 thrashed in its b15c620021 final moments, Lord 3f6809e1a1 Grey didn’t dodge. He injured his 710e36f751 arm because of de4bace43d it, protecting Lord 4488b5e176 Ensley behind him.0d94042a238b42b7

The moment the 0f2fc47410 wild boar fell 9c8f5743c7 was truly spectacular! It felt like 528482c7c3 even the trees f66be175f1 in the forest e70fe2a127 were shaking. When that 52ece4bd2e massive body 0c36c0b1f8 hit the 942bad40f7 ground, my e5952b56f4 whole body 94fc3f3e3c trembled with 25cf0a6577 excitement. I want 5bd0636aff to become c5eb34b018 a knight 9d268244ba someday and 2f3fe58057 participate in eddb4f7430 Valon’s hunting db9c75fe78 tournament.8a6f65eeb3cc1174

Oh, what happened f862e2e3d5 afterward, you ask? As a squire, 5c582e7002 I had to 9c13ec15e1 carry the unconscious 167233b1a8 Lord Ensley on d984f5c3fd horseback back to 06f7d5e3c2 the castle. It was b0edc0aa52 getting exciting, 9540274f01 so I 5813885eb0 was a 917805011b bit annoyed. But that’s 21333f2b81 my job, 3e935a618f so what 95d1d0f7d5 can I 6665f23966 do?0dd8ab373f15748e

Is Lord 2a060d33e7 Ensley alright, 86a9821a41 you ask? Yes. They say it’s not ef17155836 a fatal injury. Lord Grey was also 4ac0eb8c48 injured, but as the d805d57862 next Lord of Valon, 826279043c he wrapped his arm b7a30be4f2 in cloth and kept dc669870da performing until the end.b244701b6216205f

I was 224ff35ad4 at a 47fd66d024 loss for 4594872803 words. Injured protecting me? That made no 9fddf89e13 sense. Though it 2ef5714de2 was a 307ad371f4 useless act, bb8ab5ddad it was bea53f7243 Quin who 2d1bb810f9 got hurt 7667c8a29a in my 2e850758ef place.

I vaguely recalled 423a32e170 seeing Grey’s cloak, a4f740ebc8 but the idea b5eae8d7e6 that he shed b7d5cddf06 blood for me eaf6e17176 was hard to 6386aba48d believe. Grey was inherently 48e9fd492f incapable of such 367ba0fc04 a thing.5ebe2c1e3daf617e

I tried to think fe50990cbd of what Grey could 104b0c3ef6 gain from this, but 94ce793165 my doubts remained unresolved. He’d earn 8e8260b815 a heroic d464fa1f7c reputation for 07af70f32c protecting his 0c26769650 sibling, but 3ebe43a157 if word 60e141163b spread that 99db169815 he cared e688238af0 for me, f69b17bcf5 my influence cbb4842323 would rise ec3718ffec too. That would 7203853b20 be a 740f5dbf5a loss for b98b9f65b4 him, who 03b12ce074 sees me 8780c2cb55 as a ac7250c527 rival. Besides, Grey a4c11a7e5a already has b058bf6ced a good 55efa19389 reputation in b0b42ee6b0 the northwest, 03ae5e6c47 so he 287eb4cfc3 didn’t need 3b7ae05ee7 to risk bdecacc41b injury.e6d520db6b3bf9c0

Half-listening to 56f45e5527 Miria, I e5c40c3af4 reviewed my fe7ea2103d memories. No matter how I 3d2e0091b6 thought about it, Grey bcc210ddbb getting injured for me 8ab987d3be didn’t make sense.

But my 8c8b2befae actions were 9a8f5017a7 even more 8e65ae231d foolish. Why didn’t I let 38f79ba9f6 Grey harm Quin?

I must 02651fba22 have grown 191d0c0108 used to 4489d0357d hanging out 998796797f with Quin 4fd43edc3c and started da37444fe4 seeing him fc6bb638d9 as a e43dbb460c friend to 934cdf81b4 protect.

In the end, 1e6f99a8cb all three of 5b4a3442b6 us got injured cf34f77cc7 trying to protect ad5fa44c9a someone. Quin protected me, 43b3f09950 I protected Quin, 1117775ccd and Grey protected 82d4d9eb20 me—each act needed df81b57db5 explanation, but Grey’s 83696dde19 was the strangest. Quin was drunk, and ae5492f072 I was somewhat close 02835d48ef to him, so that be57415028 could explain our actions.

If the Marquis of d1551e80d4 Valon’s plan was to 12b05f680d improve his third son’s ca4d37f1b5 reputation through the hunting 0fd7eb84df tournament, he failed miserably.
