Chapter 48

A few days before King Baldwin and his Order of the knights marched to war, Roger De Moulin, his faithful servant, was in the midst of the bustling market, Roger de Moulin found himself drawn into an unexpected encounter with Lady Helena. He observed her from a distance, captivated by her presence, only to stumble upon a moment that led to a tense confrontation about the alleged theft of her mother's necklace.

As Lady Helena departed, leaving Roger slightly amused yet intrigued by her reaction, his thoughts were interrupted by the familiar voice of his older brother, Lord Frederick. Roger turned to see his brother approaching, and a warm embrace followed their reunion.

"Roger," Frederick began, concern etched on his face, "I'm in dire need of your help."
