Pepin rode his warhorse, holding his head high as he passed in front of a group of heretic pilgrims. His steed was draped in elaborate horse clothing adorned with his personal emblem of a red bull.
Today, after much deliberation, he decided to withdraw from the Royal Knight Order and become an "Honorary Knight," which was a nominal membership that relieved him of obligations and the "salary" that came with it.
He hoped to pledge fealty to Losa and become a Knight of the Fief.
On one hand, he greatly admired the Lord who had once led them to a series of great victories.
On the other hand, he believed that serving Losa promised a far better future than remaining in the Royal Knight Order—for in less than a month, Losa had been elevated from Baron to Earl of Transjordan.
If not for the mismatch in age, he would have suspected Losa to be the illegitimate son of Baldwin IV.
Entering the city.
Pepin was taken aback.
"Heavenly Father above, is this Hebron truly so prosperous?"
