Chapter250-The Banquet

Anna and Marguerite often requested one-on-one practice battles with Howard.

While Anna's eagerness for combat was somewhat anticipated, it was Marguerite's boldness that took Howard by surprise.

Beneath her shy exterior lurked a warrior's spirit, a revelation that both intrigued and impressed him.

The primary virtue of a Knight Squire was martial prowess.

Howard had no desire to enter the battlefield with a squire who could only gaze at the ground in timidity.

Therefore, Marguerite's request, though unexpected, aligned perfectly with his long-term interests.

Marguerite, usually the epitome of quiet grace, today donned a suit of chainmail.

Her shoulders were shielded by iron plates, and her legs were protected by leather greaves reinforced with iron.

In her right hand, she wielded a sword, and in her left, a shield.

At first glance, her appearance did not particularly stand out to Howard.
