Rowan called for Maeve, she and Captain Titus were behind him, and the Guardsmen were at the rear, eyes peeled for any dangers, "Thank you for your efforts earlier. I would not have made it here without you."
"It was my honor, My Lord. Without the strength of your arms, any contribution I make would be useless" Maeve replied.
Rowan also gestured to the captain, who came closer to him," Captain. Nowhere in your contracts as Guardsmen of my family was it stipulated you had to fight against Abomination. I salute your bravery and of your men. The tales I heard of the Guardsmen's bravery do not do you justice."
Captain Titus bowed formally to him," We are your shield and spear, My Prince. Our lives are given worth by service to the Throne of Kuranes."
