Chapter 007 (Knight's Oath)

The light of dawn lifts the light veil of night and spits out the brilliant morning glow. The boulder peaks to the east were dark blue, the pale sky above them was gradually turning red, and the clouds above the horizon shimmered like red gold.

Brant looked up at the morning light in the distance, thinking back to the past.

He remembered that when he was a child, his mother used to take him up to the tallest bachelor's tower in Boulder City to watch the sunrise. That warm time was his happiest childhood.

He also remembered Master Yilin, who lived in the Bachelor's Tower, the amiable and erudite lonely old man. It was he who taught him to read and write, it was he who was by his side every day and every night when he was sick, and it was he who accompanied him to tell those old stories when he was lonely. Except for his grandfather and teacher, he was the elder who cared most about him and was closest to him, but when he left, he never said goodbye to him. Will he be sad about it?

The last thing that came to his mind was a pale, wrinkled face, but to him it was a kind face. The old man who took good care of himself and gave all his love.

Brandt found tears streaming from his moist eyes. He remembered what his grandfather had said that a man would rather shed blood than tears. He wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes and told himself that I was a man and shouldn't shed tears.

Apprentice Knight Jason picked up some flammable broken leaves and placed them on the bonfire that hadn't burned out last night. He crouched aside, took a deep breath and blew out some sparkling firewood, and when the fire was burning, he set up the kitchen utensils on the side and began to prepare breakfast.

Paul, the knight's squire, was busy feeding the knights' mounts. There were two dozen horses to be fed by him, as well as two short, fat pack horses. He also needed to saddle the horses and groom them.

The two of them were about the same age, Jason had just turned eighteen and Paul was seventeen, a year younger than him. Tall, muscular Paul is half a head taller than Jason and looks more mature than Jason...... Jason was recently officially canonized as a knight by Sir Colin. And Paul is still only a knightly squire, which has nothing to do with his knightly skills, but because he is not old enough.

If you want to become a knight, you must first be born into an aristocratic family. At the age of seven, he will be sent to another knight's house as a boy to learn the manners of various knights. At the age of fourteen, he became a knightly squire, receiving various trainings and learning "chivalry". By the time he reached the age of eighteen, he was canonized as a knight.

Jason is the second son of Baron Benneda Sebas, Lord of Market Town, and Paul is the third son of Baron Kane Greer, Lord of Salt Town. They belonged to the same aristocratic family, and when they were 7 or 8 years old, their father sent them to serve as aco-in-waiting for Knight Colin Red.

Brant walked over to Lightning's side and stroked its snow-white fur, then he grabbed a handful of hay and fed it.

"My lord," said Paul, who was feeding the horses, "I will feed it without your own hands." ”

"It's all right," said Brandt, "I'll feed them for you, and you groom them." ”

Paul hesitated for a moment, then respectfully agreed, "Yes, sir." He walked to the other end, and from there began grooming the warhorse.

Brandt smiled wryly, he and Jason had both changed, they had become groveling to themselves, and they were no longer laughing and playing with themselves as before.

Angela got out of the tent, limped over to him, and patted him on the back of the shoulder, "What are you thinking?" The arrow in her knee was taken out for her by Roy last night, and the wound was also bandaged by him. However, Roy did not apologize for this, perhaps because he was afraid of his face as a man.

"Nothing. Brandt replied.

Angela's green eyes rolled around, and she saw the gray brown bear sleeping in the cage, and exclaimed, "Big grizzly bear, Brant, where did you get it?" ”

Brant was about to speak, but Roy's voice came from behind him, "He didn't catch it, it was me." ”

"You?" Angina glanced at him suspiciously, "Then the injuries on its body were also caused by you!"

Roy undeniably said, "That's right, I shot it." But I bandaged its wounds too."

Angela looked at him with disdain, "Hmph, it's obviously a bad person, but you still have to pretend to be a good person." Then she turned to him and said to Brandt, "Brandt, give me this grizzly bear!" She knew that Brandt didn't like the kind of girl who was spoiled by her parents.

Brandt's words were stuck in his throat this time, and just as he was about to make a sound, Roy spoke up again, "It's not called a grizzly bear, it's called a big greyhound." ”

"You look like a ranger, I see you like a mountain village hunter who has never seen the world. She frowned and reminded the other, "It's obviously a gray brown bear." Roy grinned, "It's stupid and stupid like a big greyhound." ”

Jason suddenly stood aside and bowed down and said, "My lord, breakfast is ready." ”

"Oh! Brandt looked at him and whispered.

"I'm so hungry," began Angela, recounting her grievances, "yesterday I spent a day in the woods, and then spent the night tossing and turning, and I didn't eat for a whole day and a night. ”

Brant laughed dryly, "Then you and Roy go to breakfast first, and I'll come after feeding the horses." ”

After Angela and Roy walked away, Brant suddenly shouted at Jason's departing back, "Jason." ”

Jason stopped, turned around, and said respectfully, "What do you command, sir." ”

"Can you and Paul not do this?" Brandt struggled to suppress his feelings, his voice as smooth as he could, "Even if we can't go back to the past, you don't want to grovel like you do now, okay?"

Jason looked at Brant's sincere gaze, he hesitated, he hesitated, but his answer became more and more humble, "No!"

Brandt asked a little harshly, "Why? Why are you alienating me?"

Jason politely explained to him, "Lord Tyrrell, you have to get used to it. Only by gaining the respect and obedience of the knights can you truly become a noble lord. ”

A wry smile crossed the corner of his mouth, and his tone became a little excited, "Then I'd rather not have this title." ”

Jason sharply reminded him, "My lord, I hope you don't say such angry words," his expression was solemn and stern, "Paul and I are not alienated from you, we will always be by your side, we will be your most trusted subordinates, and we will be your most loyal knights." He said what he had hidden in his heart.

Brant froze in place, watching Jason's departing back. Thinking back to Jason's last words, he suddenly felt an inexplicable emotion rise in his heart.

Sir Colin stood not far from him and looked at him. He heard the conversation they had just had, and he knew the three of them, they were not related by blood, but they had an extraordinary brotherhood. Sir Colin pondered, perhaps this is why I am Brandt's Guardian Knight.

"My lord," Sir Colin said, as he walked up to him, "are you ready, can you go?"

"Let's go. Brandt also rushed there as he could, and he remembered the picture he had seen.

At Sir Colin's orders, the team headed for the road and continued on the road to Rocky Harbor. Ten knights divided into two teams to escort Brant on either side, two horse-drawn animal cage carts at the end of the line, and the lazy grizzly bear shrunk his head and lay down in the cage enjoying comfortable treatment. Jason and Robaut followed behind Sir Colin. Angela, who was wounded in the leg, rode Lightning with Brandt, and Roy still rode the tall, strong black horse by his side.
