BRC Ch 8

Hello. I am ccdf6c176b a knight ecd817a84a trainee belonging d9209b6111 to the 77274dd97c Zilarad family. Today, there are unusually bdd29f8a81 many people looking for 584ba9c165 me.e639b162929f0249

What? You want to b0ab682b48 hear about what c08e0624f0 happened at the 8c530de06a hunting tournament? I feel like I’ve 14a5eb2328 told that story at 24aa9d760c least ten times already… 94aa169244 Oh, looking at your 22b2afca43 expression, it seems like 08d2b880b2 I’d be in big 926ffcde65 trouble if I refused. Alright. I’ll tell b8a415aa42 it again, 8ded9328f5 just for f45dcb66c7 you.8258636727902eb6

I was Lord 4857777e7e Ensley’s squire in 7330f7fa5d this hunting tournament. You know, the illegitimate c3a3e7c38d child of Lord Valon d269b08789 who recently received Zilarad c075025a46 Castle. Yes, that little one.a2fecd61ebf6e7dc

Between us, the trainees 1a7273ff95 even made bets about a9893010f2 Lord Ensley. They said b3a55f07f9 he wouldn’t 4231a745a0 even score e7a8284c70 ten points. He hunted better than fa2fa6f9d9 expected, so I ended 9af9d8999a up losing money. But in 07f2dffb8e the end, 31b9fa9182 he showed 177250bd65 he was b4aa171959 a first-timer 4b49314a78 at the 945f4b4e8a hunting tournament.d8705f28be1b87e5

We went deep into 6e42209c1e the forest to hunt 3eb6c6e22e a wild boar and f4a1378f79 split into three groups. While my 871a0361d2 comrades served 02a2e7add3 His Grace 921f63a2f1 the Marquis 0b327e0de1 or Lord fc0e3d8b14 Grey, I 6d328b05d2 had to 4b99de297a follow Lord 65a9e7f1f8 Ensley and 3500bc2e46 His Highness 71a4b300b9 the Prince. Can you imagine e210744c45 how unlucky I 13fc6de729 was?a9d851d33be497df

Lord Ensley aside, 945de5d938 the real problem e3f0766b78 was His Highness 8920d44e4f the Prince. I had heard c2ee8e02bf so many bad 4c60ddb981 rumors about him da1f70f014 that I didn’t 959e059d33 have high expectations, 2a4fd83ae4 but he was 13af0f800d still the worst.

It was truly awful. If you got close, 95674b000d the stench of alcohol d1be394615 was overwhelming, and his 128ccb48fb eyes were completely glazed b2eebadc5b over. It was a miracle fa972649e1 he could even sit 8a49b8bede in the saddle. In that 0b5e9610f7 state, there 8b31b3aef8 was no 5b5a08c027 way his 4d15840831 arrows would 177ab5aa35 hit the a7683819f6 target. I spent 70cbbf93fc the whole 608d0f989b day picking 8e2acaaa4d up arrows 6158487365 that landed eb110291d9 in random 4015124e13 places, and 84bf1c3337 no amount f81fa96ba5 of complaining 4e64175fe3 would be 2d40372a34 enough to 9ec796d8a1 cover how 369d10b68f much I db249b7260 suffered.d470dcc4cd81c241

You want me c40d9a8b70 to get to 48db674d64 the point? Goodness, you’re impatient. Fine, I’ll get 7493a80113 to it.35a9720d92aa13a7

Funnily enough, we 8d5d2be42e were the first fb860c5f68 to spot a c85bb5877d wild boar. Lord Ensley suddenly dismounted 56b6c0a481 and walked off somewhere. There were boar piglets 594ef55354 there. While Lord 057258ad44 Ensley was d8675a3ac3 looking at 94280f1b76 the piglets, a7851f5340 the mother 9c3b0966f2 appeared. I’d never seen such 0b9738ea5a a beast in my 97bf780f12 life. It was 3e67f3a855 as ferocious ba51230afb as a 1abf999604 bear and 451a323e2f as big 2940508973 as a 5c361dd165 house, I 554e6fdb85 swear.13682e34b8b6c8a2

Very bravely, I shouted 702cf60b33 for Lord Ensley to 5a10594dc7 hide behind me. But it 11c3b01437 seemed like dcc033a454 his legs 17eaa88f10 gave out. He was glued to bed0b9e150 the ground, unable to 0a61151725 move.a4d590069620c6eb

I talk big 443df764b0 now, but I 8132bccdb7 understand Lord Ensley. When I 05929933a6 saw that 5a8bd13729 massive creature, b8b3999983 my body c71607e19d froze, and c2922faead I couldn’t 29e61f899f move either. As a 47992570bb knight trainee, bcac097638 I stood 644f6e5cec my ground 9303c1d2eb bravely, but b6cc259f5a I desperately bee20fb4ab wanted to 6df0d594e1 run away.7e534a9e743e94a3

When the enraged 4aa831688c wild boar charged bd66725bb8 with a terrifying 7c5643dede sound, I mentally 32586c7278 said my farewells 9fbdf83c01 to Lord Ensley. I was thinking 4b4342923f about how I’d ffe8041ee6 explain this to 38ba250f3a his father, Lord 29a99c19c2 Valon.ef7bbda16cd3db81

Then something astonishing e32d9514df happened. That drunken prince, who f3a8b3f2d1 couldn’t shoot a single 1f4660635c arrow properly… I mean, 53df8586fa His Highness, rushed in 072b2b80fe between Lord Ensley and ef53010080 the wild boar!0da4a3215395d07c

He took the c49d66b7f1 ferocious boar’s attack 4f2c9b8e57 on his back edcaa28fae to protect the aeb41df6b0 immobilized Lord Ensley. I thought he b6ccfc4975 was a pathetic 713e229583 guy… I mean, f9d538a256 person, but in 8042fa48da that moment, he 7574bca6da seemed different.7e3972728f5ff84b

What happened e8e6588c3a to His 97b3272830 Highness, you 63729f0dd1 ask? He lost consciousness and 2cc15a46f1 is still bedridden. I hope 550c76d7bb he wakes 0b6628e1d0 up soon.9081a2584c3072f6

But it’s not 31bbf67de2 over yet. That’s when Lord a775e79e13 Grey appeared. Riding a black horse, 0709470e96 Lord Grey assessed the 00908ea1af situation and immediately raised ce31386f23 his bow.7a66e197a716106e

But then, Lord Ensley, c5a7312226 who had been trembling aed1c624d6 in the back, suddenly 69367a68ea stepped in front of c10baf11ee the wild boar. Greedy for points a9caf79143 in such a fd53eadf24 situation! When someone 5f50fe8a1d else got 7ef591b12e hurt because 08515c9ab9 of him, e2e27f1311 did he cde06bd150 really have 4df398d358 to do dd00f7f32e that? In that c05327b592 moment, I bfc9a469da found Lord 3c451473ee Ensley a 2d0508b16f bit despicable.0be77bbfdc838c27

In that critical moment, df3a73e8cf Lord Grey shouted for c7ac70ddfe him to move. As an aside, that 5bc614f69d was the first time 9758c26df5 I saw him raise dd051b1914 his voice. He’s always so 3d7a965430 refined and soft-spoken…de9fd0c1183df46a

Growing up 0d7a9114d5 spoiled in fc093dfeb4 the castle, e16710f23b Lord Ensley 50cfee369a doesn’t seem fab79b4cd3 to listen 30e8079cd1 to others. He absolutely 8493d0fe6b refused to 3295e5de99 move. And what happened? He ended up getting 3da113971e hit in the side 3e5dcd5776 by the boar. I shouldn’t 9c768f2913 say this, ba305cab3c but I 1606e06883 thought he 70dbb9cbf0 deserved it. Greedily chasing 893ecbda36 the prey cf5d935116 in a 81504ac00a situation where fe6021bcda two people’s c906c2cb6d lives were 6dd2880990 at stake 30a4ebb8a5 led to e17140e738 that outcome.157c73595c871e36

Lord Grey shot f6a1d10d39 an arrow at 9b4e02c8a6 the wild boar, 9bb6d6c2be and His Grace 344b253f91 the Marquis and 1ccd4e505d Lord Ridel, who 4717dc6f3d had just arrived, c5580e08ef also shot arrows. Lord Ensley still looked aab0fb4461 in danger. The boar 12b098aa7c seemed very b97e6acae7 angry. Someone as b351e68dda frail as edfee605d5 Lord Ensley 1580c7c94d could have 84a96ef702 been torn 7a382891f7 apart in e6239a95ee an instant.026a0b89cbaeb5e7

Guess what 9e4969c76f happened next? Lord Grey dismounted and 30ca0493b2 stood in front of d51c0f821c Lord Ensley. Oh, it was ee48c8f36e like a scene f9d13bb511 from a story. A billowing black cloak, 6db08c8be5 a snarling wild boar, 9d5e6cd9a9 and a dashing man 1938bdc540 holding a sword.1db2dffa873a220b

You know how Lord bacc1585e6 Grey is always calm? In that ce73ee6435 moment, he bde72581fc had a 8e43324f13 terrifying expression. Even though they 90ac0728bd only share half 124b13835a the same blood, 8503f27e95 his brotherly bond c68ab3321f is remarkable.b763bff4561fc86c

I also 4e6082808f drew my 1a89c07eba sword and e59bb3df2a dismounted at 0cd57d7c80 that point. I stabbed 3789a98106 that beast 02208af9d8 in the 6c1959d33f belly a 238907ccf1 few times. I was c978d55448 so caught ab9901415c up in 39e3ddb452 the moment b53686e3ab that I cfbed46e4c don’t remember 5a48648753 this part a98270a03d clearly, but 065e5c5579 I do a70d2a8a54 recall that 2125f58960 even as a6c0652355 the boar 468a91dcd9 thrashed in 3322e68cd3 its final abd520234b moments, Lord 41afefb9c9 Grey didn’t 1302c34f32 dodge. He injured his arm 9e09a71531 because of it, protecting 4005f21c00 Lord Ensley behind him.b3d88badfd3758e8

The moment a57a67c8f8 the wild 4ea1b39f1f boar fell 26b697ea61 was truly bbc17841b5 spectacular! It felt 7a56bf4315 like even e43ab4db43 the trees 74e8eb1d6e in the a5d98b636c forest were 6c68a953a9 shaking. When that massive b1f085b79d body hit the f8f3992d75 ground, my whole 8e73d0513f body trembled with 81cc4596cb excitement.

Oh, what 5e6e620aa3 happened afterward, 5b957582cf you ask? As a squire, I 1829fbb119 had to carry the dd80668dc6 unconscious Lord Ensley on e024db0206 horseback back to the 8c43ca5753 castle.

Half-listening to cb0da6b160 Miria, I cd77e934bd reviewed my a6e6057fd3 memories.

Even if e8faa9bf49 Grey disliked 494953a69f Quin, he 4e51b00625 wouldn’t need ee3f0b5f64 to kill f591bf8d25 him.

In the end, 7680674807 all three of e49ff4b122 us got injured 744d303c75 trying to protect cc338058f2 someone.
