Esta to Denio was doing his rounds at night on the walkways of the castle walls. He was thinking that, basically, his life had not changed that much, if the first was paid to protect merchants during their journeys, now being paid to defend Her Majesty, the underlying principle was not changed: to be paid, to protect the master cost of life.
The fact that his brother was the captain of the guards, however, does not facilitate the task, indeed, very often was the subject of ridicule and jokes by the brutal soldiers, was seen as favoritism and beautiful and good What had not been accepted with equanimity, for she was still very one who had tried to kill NOC Savhr Frey.
The hood, which came up to the ankles, hampered movements, it was a useless burden, inconvenient and counterproductive during an attack, how could a soldier to fight, if the first was able to win on that piece of heavy cloth? She was tempted to get rid of and throw it away, did not need a hood to protect Her Majesty.
The bell tower rang midnight Esta and stopped to listen to the sweet sound of the bells, his gaze was fixed on the stars high in the sky, seemed to differ from those seen in Sejh'katar, a few were recognized, but had moved from where he had learned to see them. How many times he had gazed at the stars in the company of the crown prince and his warm embrace ...
No! He had to drive out definitely those thoughts from his mind, Frey was already married for two months and it was rumored that Lady Utena was pregnant, she could no longer afford the luxury of certain memories, those moments were now dead and buried, as he had suffered had to go forward, remembering that she had chosen to stay, no one forced her.
A small smile flickered on his face when he remembered the farewell letter that Frey had sent his brother, West went on a rampage, threatening not only to show off the whole thing to be accountable to all that race in person was the prince, but also to punch and challenge him to single combat. Katona had taken and his arguments to calm him and get him back to reason.
"Hey recommended! "Said a soldier from the walls," Your turn is over, you're going to get or stay for gaining the favor of your brother, eh? "Esta
looked indignant, and did not answer him, with all the calmness in his body, fell from the ladder nearby, he could not give it won, was not to descend to their level, impassive, here's how it should be. The head-passed by ignoring it completely.
She was given a comfortable accommodation close to that of his brother, a small, spartan, but comfortable, a bed, a wardrobe, a small fireplace, a table and a chair, the room did not contain much, but it was the thing that comes closest to a home for her that she had never been homeless. The West had to find a heavy blanket for the winter and a light for the summer, which would wear the uniform from that day forward, the armor for the combat and weapons instruction included. During his first days as a guard of the castle her brother had been our guide, had taught her everywhere and the enormous castle corridor, some essential secret passages and, most important, had taught her the rules for peaceful coexistence with the other soldiers.
From the window of his room, the stars are not seen as good on the walls, evidence Esta surrendered and lay down on the bed still dressed, was not sleepy.
Eventually he took off his uniform and slipped under the covers when she heard a commotion coming from the room of his brother. The knock on the door.
"I do not know if you noticed, but it is night, you could avoid all this confusion? There are soldiers who want to stay. "
the West opened it, smelled of wine, but did not seem drunk. Esta looked him over from top to bottom, it was clear as day that the captain had gone to make merry and had returned only at the time.
"Where on earth have you been? She asked Esta crossing his arms over his chest.
"In an inn in the city along with other comrades. Now I should prepare myself, I will soon be patrolling the walls. "He replied reluctantly.
'tanning like that? "
" Yes "
" And do not you sleep? "
" I'll sleep tomorrow. "
" Well, glad you ... "Esta
returned to his room, take care of his brother was the least of his worries, he was an adult capable of assuming its responsibilities - just as he had to take responsibility for ensuring for her, which passes through the sleepless night, it was not his problem.
The woman awoke at dawn, washed and had breakfast in the common room on the ground floor of the castle, his brother was fresh as a daisy and chatting with an old guard about to recruit some new soldiers. Esta gave him a nod as a greeting and started with her around the castle. Usually patrolled the gardens and less congested corridors, but that day she found herself go in front of the door leading to the rooms of the young princes. He was about to turn back when the door opened and the prince came out in a hurry almost Katona by going on.
"Oh, sorry Esta, I did not see. I'd like to stop and talk a bit 'with you, but I'm in a hurry. "
Prince smiled and ran away, who knows what was his destination.
Without giving too much weight, Esta continued his tour until he arrived in the courtyard of the castle guards. There he saw his brother look at some guys from the barracks of the city, were strong, but their moves and their school attacks were too predictable.
"No guys, this is not an experienced warrior will beat in a few minutes. Here at the castle we want more. "
She carefully observed the scene, boys, three in all, did not seem satisfied with the answer, talking in between them, and when West gave them away to leave, a group attacked him. The soldiers were astonished by that vile cowardly action, with swords unsheathed already surrounded the three boys, but it was totally unnecessary, West had them beaten with few blows.
"It's just that I referred to earlier. "Esta
smiled and reached his brother and the other guards fled in a hurry.
"I've been a bit 'too hard? "Asked the woman giving the boys.
"No, it is part of my duties as to humiliate the boys them.
Ah, if you saw Katona? "
" Yes, I saw, was released this morning, was in a hurry. Why do you ask? "
West put his thumb and index finger to his chin thoughtfully taking air.
"And once a month gone in the morning and then appear later in the evening. "
" And it is that bad? "
" Uhm ... I think it has a secret affair. "
