Lucas could hear the gasp of the men of the city guard as he took the life of the captain that was disrespecting him. Despite the captain's laughter at his new title, Lucas was a part of the nobility of the kingdom and he could take the life of a commoner or anyone under his rank if they openly disrespected him.
"Now, do any of the rest of you find my title hilarious?"
The men all shook their heads in unison. Lee was silent beside Lucas. He knew that talking now would put himself in danger. In fact, Lucas had taken his sword to relieve the disrespectful captain of his head just now and he was afraid that Lucas would point it at him if he spoke.
"Lee, go retrieve mine and Eva's swords from the rubble."
"Your grace."
