blow, body, parades, for three long days Katona devoted himself to hone his skills with the meager weapons along with West, his ruthless mentor. He could not understand why, after every battle, the muscles of the legs and arms ached so much that it tears while West appeared fresh as a daisy, and this was fitted to the young princes to make an anger that, after clash clash, more determined to beat him, it was just for once.
The first day he showed to the whole castle is not at all led to fight with the sword, even his father had gone to attend the event extraordinary, the Prince drew the sword that Katona was certainly not an ordinary show.
the second day of workouts saw the prince minor fight with his father, nobles and high dignitaries of the court noticed immediately by the West was urging his friend to fight with courage and strength. His Majesty had revealed a swordsman still in form, having beaten his son received the applause of the spectators; Katona defile it in her room, pondering the tiniest possibility that a murderer had to defeat in a duel.
Katona On the third day he succeeded, after considerable efforts, to hit the West in the arm, but was quickly defeated by the attack of his next: the Prince had attacked, but West had saved and hit him in the stomach with a fist firmly. Katona fell to the floor gasping and coughing violently.
"You fought like mad dogs, Katona.
If you want to tap into the anger that you have in your body to fight all right, but do it with his head. "
" I've thrown a punch ... "Protested Katona panting for the blow.
"Yes, mica not believe that the killers are men of honor, right? "The young

He abhorred the idea of \u200b\u200bhaving to conduct a duel, let alone in a manner so subtle and yet he knew it was the only chance he had.
did not care of the other heralds, in that moment his priority was to defeat the murderer before he could commit other murders.

Katona and West arrived on time, you could hear the afternoon three strokes of the bell tower, just as the murderer had asked ...
When the prince and captain of the guards had returned to the castle Katona a waitress handed a sealed envelope with the black wax, the prince was left in his apartment, along with West, he had open reading so that the murderer met before had provided the information for the next meeting.
"Our men can not be seen. "Said West dismounted from his horse.
"must surely be a reason for this delay. "Said the friend Katona looking apprehensive.
From a reliable source - an old maid who had worked on both with love - was recently discovered that the young captain of the guards used to dine together Checkers Felia, widow of Count Gunfrast, killed during the Battle of the Desert. Not that it bothered him, indeed, was very pleased that West had finally started to put my head straight, what worried him was the involvement of his friend in Ragnarok.
If something had happened to him if he would ever be forgiven. Then he flashed to mind one thing that the captain had said after his meeting with the Seer. If indeed the poor old man could see into the future, then ...
He tried to return to his principal thoughts, was not the time for celebration for some things, his priority was the murderer, in any way earn their trust and then hit him from behind.

" Prince, come on, so m'offendete. Once there will be only two of them, our task is finished, it will be to our Lord to fight, we will not have more do anything. »Katona
the fixed puzzled, he did not trust.
'Show us the street. "Sighed the young princes alongside his friend. The
Sicario smirked and carried on, did not speak for the entire duration of the short trip West was concentrated to observe the slightest movement of the gunman, Katona lost in thought. In the city took side streets and narrow lanes.
"Further ahead we expect our target for detecting I suggested that we could be allies. Obviously it will not, do not look sideways. "
" Provided that you can be trusted. "Insinuated West.

The square where the gunman had decided of her appointment was empty, you could not see anyone walking or who passed by chance.
Shiree is tormented by his hands, he was buffing the speech over and over again during those three days, only a few sentences: "Iluv not accept, want to fight with Corinne, now, immediately." Was not so difficult to pronounce.
He looked around, not even a trace of the man. He was upset, scared, but calm prevailed, if something went wrong Iluv would not have been happy, had they promised, would have looked the other world but also to take revenge.
He heard footsteps behind her.
turned slowly, taking my courage in both hands to face the murderer.
was not prepared for the vision that was placed in the eyes.

The market for capital was also famous for its long duration, took place once every three months, one for each season, but for seven days and seven nights never closes.
The nights were devoted to feasts and the artists, the minstrels play their tunes, clowns entertained the children while the parents could see some play outside, jugglers and funambolieri they were noticed by the audience with their games.
In the middle of the band of people intent on looking younger and buy the prince and his new faithful bodyguard tried to make his way to get to the religious district.
"We had to come today? Was it not better to wait? "Protested West trying not to lose sight of his companion.
"Even if we come tomorrow or in three days would not change anything, better get up the tooth now. "Katon said gently pushing people.
finally arrived at their destination, the temple of Roriath was right in front of them.
Katona within first, made sure with a quick glance that was not present and no one is announced.
West looked skeptical, crossed his arms and raised an eyelid, yet no ghostly goddess had appeared; Katona announced himself again and called Roriath to make his appearance, the captain of the guard began to puff.
'Katona go away, is no point wasting time here. "
" Wasting time? Wait!? Did you really say that!? If I were not a help Katona I'd already stuck with my spear. "The Goddess of War

"You ... you are ... a goddess? She asked hesitantly, making small compared to the majesty of the divine person.
"No, I'm your mother. "He replied sarcastically Roriath," Of course I'm a Goddess! For whom do you take me for a woman at all? "
" Roriath Met West in Denio, captain of the guards of the royal castle, my bodyguard and my closest friend. Met West

"is favored outgoing King "pointed out Roriath approaching the altar of the temple.
"Really? Not one had ever told me. "
" Oh no? Be 'now you know. "
the goddess sat on the marble block, crossing his legs and leaning on his elbows.
"Corinne has made an offer, a proposed alliance. "Said the prince told the child and to detail the meeting with the murderer and their exchange of words.
West, listening casually, it was still thrilled by what had just happened, a deity had appeared in his eyes! To him, that he did not believe in anything that his eyes could not see him, that he had faith in gods.
It had all happened too fast, must necessarily have a dream, a hallucination, Katona was not really talking about a goddess.
Although he had given up pinching pinching did not change that reality, one of his many philosophies of life reads: "Unless I see, I do not think." But West had seen, had not, therefore, more reason not to believe the words of his friend.
It gave the stupid and the infamous, all the time - a year? - Had given Katona crazy because of its history, recently had even thought it was all a ruse to meet with her lover but ...
And to think that his sister Esta had believed the prince immediately. He promised to repay his friend as soon as they had the chance.
"I think it is a trap, but we will accept the opportunity to kill him. Methods that are repugnant to me, but as I said to West, is the only solution I found. "
Roriath nodded satisfied, perhaps it had not made a big mistake in choosing as his herald.

The temperature was beginning to increase, a sign that spring was just around the corner. Do not snowed for a couple of more weeks and the white coat had disappeared almost completely, only in the early morning and evening, the cold came back to reign supreme.
West was strangely silent, said Katona, was not he sit good good silent, tried to attack button, but the guard did not seem to listen, at the end Katona decided to go forward to the castle without speaking. At the courtyard

'West, what is it? "
" Draw your sword and fight. "Said the young captain seriously.
"You're kidding I hope, you know I'm not good at fighting. "
" Exactly, you know you are defending. "
'West, but ... "
'Katona Noc Feraci to Irrfad, drew your sword and fight me. 'Tone West did not allow the voice of replicas.

"Right now? Here? "
" Yes, here here and train the new students will train you. "The prince
cadet of his prepared attack. Did not have time to parry a couple of hits and was immediately disarmed, West looked shocked, he did not believe that the prince was so low.
"We'll have to work hard ... 'West almost sighed resignedly.
