"My Lord, are you alright? I suddenly heard the battle stop. I came as soon as I could," the Knight Commander spoke the moment he came into view, his voice carrying the deep concern of a man accustomed to war and loyalty.
"I'm fine, Knight Commander. The Goblin is already dead," the Baron replied. He paused for a moment, contemplating his next words. A part of him wanted to give the credit to Asher, the young man who had played the true role in ending the goblin's life, but he hesitated.
He wasn't certain whether Asher would appreciate the attention such recognition would bring. Besides, it wasn't hard to imagine the disbelief that would follow once people heard that the Tenth Sun himself had achieved such a feat. Many would call it exaggeration, others would whisper that he only spoke so to earn the favor and good grace of a Wargrave.
