"It's okay," the lady said.
All the knights moved far away.
Rather trusting? No, she was probably confident she could take me on alone.
I sat next to Vivia and she sat a bit further away. "Is she your slave?"
"No, she's, my friend."
I thought she'd be offended when I asked her to just sit on the ground, in this insect ridden grass, but she wasn't. And she was awfully polite. Thurbolg was polite too but not to this extent.
"I see." She paused. "Did you kill lord Denegeal?"
"I did." I took off my helmet, since she'd taken off hers. She gazed upon my face for a moment but then switched her gaze back to the sunset. She wasn't surprised.
"And you turned him into an undead?"
"Yes. He's a Dullahan now."
"Can I meet him?"
"Not today."
"I see…" she sighed. "He was my student."
Student?
