"Yes! That girl Iyana!" Fred exclaimed, frustration clear on his face. "She caught me lurking around the estate while watching you from afar. One would think she would let me off the hook with a warning or not even care in the place. But do you know what she did? She pointed a sword to my neck!"
Yes, that sounds like her, Vyan briefly thought.
"She said she would gouge my eyes out if I look at you like that again. How crazy!" Fred vented. "As I tried to argue, my hatred for you must have spilled a little, and… she…" His jaw trembled with anger. "She didn't hesitate to slash me with her sword. What woman does that for a knight she has known for what, two months?!"
Hearing the timeline made Vyan's mind drift back to a particular memory around that time, a couple of months after he had sworn his loyalty to Iyana.
The memory was vivid, the details etched into his mind. It was such an eccentric day, after all.
