Stained With Blood

"Why do we need to go ourselves? It is the work of knights and mercenaries." the man frowned as he walked towards the narrow path on his feet.

He was not habitual to walk on foot. When Henry told him that he was courting a commoner, he was already surprised but when he added that a councilman was her past lover and he was now trying to come in between them, he could not bear it.

It was the insult of being a noble. Without a thought he offered his men and even called the mercenaries through the private signal to attack the councilman.

He was sure that they would not be in trouble as long as they did not involve themselves personally. 

But who would have thought that this fool would drag them too..

"So that he knew why he was beaten and whom he should stay away from!" spat Henry with seething anger when the others shook their heads.
