BRC Ch 8

Hello. I am a cd8f7ef530 knight trainee belonging 140cce1bb5 to the Zilarad 84d6b83992 family. Today, there b2f57cd053 are unusually ede729d23b many people c6b29e2857 looking for 81f0473c4c me.67e4ca70777324ba

What? You want to hear d7fa87ccb5 about what happened at 6a3b146af9 the hunting tournament? I feel like efc22b3ba8 I’ve told that aed6b5edde story at least ab5409c62e ten times already… 5309327e67 Oh, looking at d10b5f82ea your expression, it 7f370a0645 seems like I’d 679461542e be in big 7de3929c05 trouble if I 49e07439ac refused. Alright. I’ll tell it fad4baaf70 again, just for 1ce62f8631 you.b20651fd2797ec05

I was Lord Ensley’s ed1742ec59 squire in this hunting 4e8c4eedb6 tournament. You know, the illegitimate 27cc7bb029 child of Lord Valon cadae0f199 who recently received Zilarad d793af4723 Castle. Yes, that little one.1cb024e31c73170a

Between us, e225d1fea9 the trainees 37d2a6840e even made 009d5bcbe7 bets about 51e77a89fe Lord Ensley. They said he fcc704a17f wouldn’t even score 31c7527473 ten points. He hunted better fd549cc55e than expected, so 02ff059196 I ended up e536ad639c losing money. But in the 1d4793f27e end, he showed b43ca79c44 he was a 8fc4d08f62 first-timer at the 1af8f1471b hunting tournament.84eea176287b5d33

We went deep into 80bdf6dd84 the forest to hunt b267c2fc53 a wild boar and 55bd17164e split into three groups. While my comrades served 016b69d902 His Grace the Marquis b61964b4b8 or Lord Grey, I 28f81831ba had to follow Lord 3fac98f971 Ensley and His Highness e466a32c99 the Prince. Can you imagine how 42a0888c6b unlucky I was?e9d7141ae5e1047a

Lord Ensley aside, 0534f00757 the real problem 9e6180d3e5 was His Highness 73bd00bddc the Prince. I had heard so 342c4d6b22 many bad rumors about 759329baf9 him that I didn’t 8e1dbca083 have high expectations, but e023735b7e he was still the 27dd79c1da worst. To show up drunk 46fa7f3241 at a hunting tournament e866c69dbd attended by lords from a68151cee0 other regions! Representing the 20aefbe5bd capital, and c45cb670a2 yet he 4d3e462349 has no 8f7b224315 sense of a8ebe86970 responsibility.97787b82e2abcb0f

It was truly 73af25413c awful. If you got close, 7756e4495d the stench of alcohol 5f1d83cbc7 was overwhelming, and his 318347ccb5 eyes were completely glazed 0cd6c5c9d3 over. It was a miracle f956cb7d6a he could even sit f35c8f22ca in the saddle. In that state, 2373b66f8d there was no 6e245ab003 way his arrows 0cfc1230bf would hit the c9d6f89896 target. I spent 7f22c09ef3 the whole 26cee1c0fe day picking 26fa15de45 up arrows 9f38f8a3fb that landed f20ed77186 in random d15e7eb87f places, and 86ba521eb8 no amount 390c3bf6a9 of complaining c1ca47ec71 would be 2522e86236 enough to ea72e962cf cover how 7054479092 much I dc68dd7589 suffered.1b7f34ef22cb8587

You want me to 34209d048b get to the point? Goodness, you’re impatient. Fine, I’ll get 1f1de4f669 to it.b2c6754e400b6c45

Funnily enough, we were 3e0c761e6d the first to spot ae4efb31c9 a wild boar. Lord Ensley suddenly dismounted 15d7e703f3 and walked off somewhere. There were boar 1c4ee44ac1 piglets there. While Lord Ensley 3f4d467599 was looking at c4c6fb5347 the piglets, the a550ec01b9 mother appeared. I’d never seen such 75c8bd7bf3 a beast in my 9b87ba3dc8 life. It was as a2620573eb ferocious as a 9f73eb8f6e bear and as 4e5752ffd1 big as a 139ff5e443 house, I swear.bf744421c2ac6f17

Very bravely, 38dc28fa90 I shouted 270661ec39 for Lord 01d7132c57 Ensley to 664bc674dd hide behind 6bc7af016d me. But it seemed like b06c37459a his legs gave out. He was glued to d472ba48a3 the ground, unable to 17b1b840a2 move.eb45dd360dc55d3f

I talk 14905179ab big now, 44d4034566 but I bd0877a54d understand Lord 146996462c Ensley. When I saw 800627e0e5 that massive creature, f69ebf1be1 my body froze, 20799e3365 and I couldn’t 7baedb8474 move either. As a 67eba01cfa knight trainee, 5f0728a193 I stood 4112dd0420 my ground dc0fb95f6e bravely, but be49d38261 I desperately 2f4a5caf4a wanted to 5fd75dcaa6 run away.6478644a00792728

When the enraged wild b5780c8082 boar charged with a 815e373e67 terrifying sound, I mentally 2393c139b4 said my farewells to 184302fea2 Lord Ensley. I was thinking about 1be541c9e8 how I’d explain this 47360d3056 to his father, Lord 7765b21b3c Valon.b842eba2804db86b

Then something 30c728c638 astonishing happened. That drunken 9093d20eb2 prince, who db050a6559 couldn’t shoot 41d3e6f463 a single e5f6b1fd53 arrow properly… 3585f11d73 I mean, 15e80caecb His Highness, 1db0d76733 rushed in 47b9bc3a50 between Lord d6a9ffe53b Ensley and d461f9e064 the wild 42bea370bf boar!20252743c45c3efd

He took the fe2aa2dede ferocious boar’s attack 941888be0e on his back d14f8cc03f to protect the d24aac0750 immobilized Lord Ensley. I thought cf860eaecf he was 716a8806b2 a pathetic f7f5a64b8a guy… I 0029ffa5a6 mean, person, 2e8ab371e4 but in 2b3951e8af that moment, 6d00c13efa he seemed b33ac8e821 different.0ade9447f945751e

What happened to His 35e983e69d Highness, you ask? He lost consciousness 376df4e30f and is still bd784dbce6 bedridden. I hope he wakes cf9e2f774c up soon.ac7863e72a209c38

But it’s not a24779de81 over yet. That’s when 8496e84f7d Lord Grey edde2a90b2 appeared. Riding a black horse, 480df91db9 Lord Grey assessed the 527d2f1b0a situation and immediately raised e26ef29b29 his bow.3ef31cdf6ce79c50

But then, Lord d7dd19ae33 Ensley, who had a6218b783d been trembling in b6aa07a931 the back, suddenly e01f0aca2e stepped in front 6a0e491d1a of the wild 513be9d93c boar. Greedy for points 72cc0e8511 in such a f34bd89fc9 situation! When someone else got 8897744132 hurt because of him, f6a405308e did he really have d369abf56c to do that? In that 794dbe1354 moment, I b93bf0c43c found Lord 8119ccdbbd Ensley a b28c017481 bit despicable.91ef878f51fafddc

In that critical moment, 2d47352751 Lord Grey shouted for 837c92a5fd him to move. As an aside, 17359179b7 that was the 66ed6bb999 first time I 7e83de50a2 saw him raise e4c34b62b6 his voice. He’s always 30359a61cd so refined 43147ba9a9 and soft-spoken…4d0e95865017a10b

Growing up 118e55a3fd spoiled in 7068c7e4b8 the castle, 76793d342b Lord Ensley db5c915ae2 doesn’t seem c327e0c0b1 to listen 184e2b22e4 to others. He absolutely refused to def7f4d3fa move. And what happened? He ended up getting fd2727598b hit in the side 7d64a744cb by the boar. I shouldn’t say this, 1af2c52b0e but I thought he 9a9331f3de deserved it. Greedily chasing the 987ee7c62a prey in a 582d73490f situation where two 0d2fa4c64f people’s lives were d534a4d3a3 at stake led 3bcb8f7c4f to that outcome.e60f2d9b18fdb579

Lord Grey shot an 10a4ad950b arrow at the wild 87e6238552 boar, and His Grace 9caeffda1f the Marquis and Lord f23745b372 Ridel, who had just 03a98d630e arrived, also shot arrows. Lord Ensley still b98ef1b703 looked in danger. The boar seemed very 04bf985fcf angry. Someone as frail as 88a63530f5 Lord Ensley could have bf6f78a9b8 been torn apart in 3be2541c50 an instant.cf0eebd0485450c8

Guess what 7e25f70aca happened next? Lord Grey dismounted cfc5ae78e2 and stood in 98ba14ded5 front of Lord 8a27d4561f Ensley. Oh, it was 412a4f93f5 like a scene b2494e900c from a story. A billowing black cloak, c669a1edda a snarling wild boar, 49acea8633 and a dashing man 7abbb6b484 holding a sword.4e3d995fdc325d23

You know 2c734631ed how Lord 8dd23dcc98 Grey is 17f678b897 always calm? In that 612fe5a3bc moment, he bd82a26673 had a 7b39cb575c terrifying expression. Even though 70af7645ad they only 9a1a3b9509 share half ce37e70dd8 the same cd46322770 blood, his b127dcb5b5 brotherly bond 055467fba8 is remarkable.a1f95160f1addbc4

I also 870ef63bb7 drew my cf50578b93 sword and d6d3fbf990 dismounted at 7dcf84d386 that point. I stabbed that beast 3cf9ed3a83 in the belly a cb027f72f8 few times. I was so caught c763e5b1e8 up in the moment 1aab1ff682 that I don’t remember b41bd6bd0f this part clearly, but d30526cdd5 I do recall that e8f3f02358 even as the boar 3b876505c8 thrashed in its final 32e61346de moments, Lord Grey didn’t 09b1655c2a dodge. He injured his arm 1483774fd2 because of it, protecting 0cb3d98100 Lord Ensley behind him.1495b9a03228df60

The moment the wild e4b6af3351 boar fell was truly 459f498fc8 spectacular! It felt like even 8b4b3df21c the trees in the 6e2a342dd6 forest were shaking. When that 38765f25b7 massive body af53dd3bf6 hit the 0e7f8a9828 ground, my 3f74301c3a whole body 53aaf71ba4 trembled with 8dcabd2120 excitement. I want to become db0917c3e8 a knight someday and cf3e188146 participate in Valon’s hunting 22e0d1671d tournament.c0c5c515775becb7

Oh, what happened 3afa34d29b afterward, you ask? As a squire, 47b2d96b76 I had to 4b951b138f carry the unconscious 1b2ea7775b Lord Ensley on 068df4da6c horseback back to 0787b3d205 the castle. It was getting exciting, bca8a93d75 so I was a aad84bbedc bit annoyed. But that’s my 2b62d9894a job, so what cdf0131dbc can I do?595e1f4de6449b1f

Is Lord Ensley c22f2721c8 alright, you ask? Yes. They say it’s not 4ffb6ca649 a fatal injury. Lord Grey was also 9a861e9ba6 injured, but as the 04e45e9a40 next Lord of Valon, 2e49b37431 he wrapped his arm 1979d63b0e in cloth and kept 70a405fb54 performing until the end.a9300aed729b1281

Blinking my eyes, the 5ff88512b5 dim room faded and 15702e6e7e came back into view. Miria approached, f71cbb9e8b holding a c6bab9e363 lantern. The scenery outside the ef2f1610c0 window was dark.

I was 565e7029df at a 1476ed1b78 loss for e05b9eb567 words. Injured protecting me? That made no sense. Though it 4537fade4d was a d23a3f6f68 useless act, 5dadd042cb it was 7ff6dcfcc3 Quin who 93473a7c0c got hurt c72e0142c3 in my ecdd7a1c25 place.

I vaguely recalled 4aa90ffd36 seeing Grey’s cloak, 14cf0f50cc but the idea 0a11b11554 that he shed c84e0999ab blood for me 298f8baa32 was hard to daec16c3ad believe. Grey was dd9ef60357 inherently incapable eaec2d30eb of such 621b59adfa a thing.fe141f0474c573a1

I tried to 4135dff483 think of what b751aa39bc Grey could gain c78ee7c3dc from this, but ff0bd0d010 my doubts remained 1d4f179aa8 unresolved. He’d earn a 3562f120c1 heroic reputation for 4c6faf4f67 protecting his sibling, 4ac226d316 but if word 030a62894e spread that he 985f38dc22 cared for me, 99b1af80d0 my influence would 293e5afca9 rise too. That would df3ec31a84 be a 279e371c57 loss for 290a35fea4 him, who 139fb9373c sees me 04bcc8e050 as a 7d80281f3e rival. Besides, Grey already has 7ed81e0ab6 a good reputation in 432743687d the northwest, so he 07bd706417 didn’t need to risk f382a7bea3 injury.78d94d4c1bba87d4

Half-listening to d13c965482 Miria, I 976e0594db reviewed my daf8f9f066 memories. No matter how I e0699a7d07 thought about it, Grey 6e1a0e5fd3 getting injured for me 40ddcdb4b1 didn’t make sense. Neither did cb018f5db7 him aiming 8057abed5a his bow 5bd10d2046 at Quin. The memory was too b9fae506f7 vivid to be a aa9a44d778 hallucination.1701d3b73ec8f244

Even if Grey 21ec448a27 disliked Quin, he 8323e2ea5d wouldn’t need to 8ecede81c4 kill him. He’s not bb5c8660ae so sloppy 0382107d35 as to d3d34119aa shoot a fed8a6d6a5 royal with 5635af1e8e an arrow 8c1516c5e7 clearly marked e49ae8305c with his 4000243061 name. It was all f34978669f so strange.9bf605d0c2e90dd1

But my actions ef72d971f2 were even more 2af5e5e409 foolish. Why didn’t I let 9eb8a9478c Grey harm Quin? If his arrow had 5f21ad7da9 even grazed the prince, 2a479bdfce I could have had a17873bae4 a chance to ruin cbb12713c3 Grey. I must 476303149c have grown 9e631668ac used to 1fb378d7bf hanging out 2ca4138e4c with Quin 46fb3d9f1b and started 0541ecb86c seeing him b1bc460247 as a 3c7c89ba78 friend to 79736b3ee5 protect. That uncharacteristic sentiment 9e13790054 ruined everything.171cee32dcbc6da7

In the end, 1cc81d8ca4 all three of 51ce95f7e7 us got injured cce4f0d6f5 trying to protect 599f74f51d someone. Quin protected me, I 3dad354c79 protected Quin, and Grey 42cd01d6c4 protected me—each act needed f7c73e4d5f explanation, but Grey’s was 6221ffb544 the strangest. Quin was drunk, and 51a97e8f88 I was somewhat close a7ff80a4dd to him, so that a8b1530cae could explain our actions. But Grey 300dfd2b1b getting hurt 2280e219f7 for me 04a6bf851c was utterly d6f7d7983e incomprehensible.5a55c6ad1f7cf745

He’s the d7aeac2934 type who 678e1c523d knows how 446a170eb9 to steal 546b8e8119 others’ hearts 7cfa74586f but wouldn’t 87271dde63 give a 355bff332d piece of 9b75222990 his own.aa2b14cc9b2392c5

Outside, a e83c1c73bc banquet seemed 73dc20a7e9 to be 2fd6e407fe in full 5fa0aa3ac9 swing. People would be congratulating 9d20995d15 the winner and roasting a728078d4a the game together.

If the Marquis 68dac6660b of Valon’s plan 8a94158c05 was to improve cd8640c1bb his third son’s f2b3863523 reputation through the 1e9580e9f7 hunting tournament, he 6d660da810 failed miserably.
