Knight and Knight

Baron Thomas P.O.V 

"Damn that bastard." Father says he was young and easy to control, that's all bullshit.

All the worthless commoners we used to do our dirty work is gone. Not only, I'm sure they have evidence already.

I know, if I gather enough men I could go and capture him and force him to return everyone. 

I take up a bell and ring it. A young maid enters then bows.

"Send for my younger brother have him gather men quickly." He might have that group under his wing but money can buy many things. 

The maid bows then leave. I need to figure out the extent of the damage. If this gets back to father he will be more than angry. Thinking of it sends shivers down my spine.

Wanting fresh air I leave and go outside. It's called Scale Castle. It was built by that child ancestors with the support of the royal family. With it being the way to connect to the rest of Enland our family grow powerful.

I can't allow that to end with me or my grandson. When that child is captured I can even begin negotiations with the Eirwen to give our family more rights. 

"Count Thomas Roshyn III." That sounds beautiful, I should wait until my brother returned. Wine sounds great.

A few hours later.

"Thomas! I need your help." That bitch, I told her to call me Baron Thomas, not Thomas.

"You might be my sister but I'm the heir of house Rhosyn." No one is allowed to speak down on that.

"That doesn't matter, Rob has been captured." What! No way he's the best knight in the city who could have best him in combat?

"How much money do they demand?" Money is not an issue, without him no one will follow my orders.

"He was captured by the count." That Damn bastard!

Father will kill me, how did I fail so badly. No, it can be saved I just need allies.

"Pack your things we will leave for Emerald City and contact the Flower house." They still owe us a favour, maybe I can cash it in and save us.

"That's not necessary." A strong and hoarse voice says sending me and my sister in a freight.

"Uncle your back, I thought you went to fight in Fren." He has been aiming for the family head since he was young but his shit attitude made him hated.

"That doesn't matter, let's go I've already gathered around a thousand men. With you, it will raise farther to a possible five thousand." No, how did he gather so many men?

"Now!" Don't shout at me. I wish father was here.

We are now walking towards the Count home. The streets have been empty ever since the rats were cleaned out. I'm sure new rats will be born and new ones will take the crown.

Before we could reach we are stopped by a group of men on horses. They bear the Eirwen colours and they are better equipped than us.

"What's your purpose of entering here?" He asks looking down on us. All of them, they all look down on us.

"I demand a trial by combat for my nephew Freedom!" That's your plan, if I knew I would have refused.

"It took you a lot longer to come than I thought." There he is, wearing that weird mask. No one has seen his face.

Some people said he was deformed from birth and need to hide it. Others to say he's too beautiful to show his face. I don't care to me he's a demon. 

"You demand a trial by combat alright then, Ra bring me his head." Stepping out from the crowd is a seven feet orc filled with dull silver armour.

Orc usually doesn't wear that much armour so this earned him the nickname Ra the knight. In his hand is a weapon unusual for an Orc a spear.

"I always wanted to fight you Ra the knight but you always refused to state you don't fight for fun but honour. Now you will die for that." My uncle takes a heavy two-handed axe from his squire and approaches Ra. 

"Honour is what brought me here, honour will take me home." The two men stare at each then place on there helmets and charge at each other.

Unlike the typical Orc Ra fights patiently and powerfully. He's willing to drag this battle out as long as possible. My uncle is the complete opposite trying to end this battle quickly.

"(Dancing Petal)." Why is uncle using our family technique so early in the fight?

Even someone like me who can't fight can tell this is a bad strategy. Like everyone thought it's easily blocked by Ra.

"Stupid Orc! ( Explosion)." All the petals that were knocked aside begin to explode causing everyone here to panic.

"What are you doing uncle that almost injured me." That's why he was always a shit knight.

"Such a weak attack would never defeat a Winter knight." Ra dodges a wild swing from uncle then strike him in the back causing him to be knocked to the ground.

"For an Orc you're quite weak." Stop saying that while bleeding heavily.

"What I lack in strength compared to my brethren I make it up in intelligence and skill." Why is that orc so cool? No, he's an enemy go my backstabbing uncle. 

"You're disgusting like my brother! (Crush)." I'm not sure what happened but my uncle swung his axe and boom I'm on the ground unconscious.

Did he tried to kill me, no way we are in public that bastard.

"(Orc Skin), to think you would use this opportunity to attack bystanders. You have no honour die! (Death Blow)." With the force of thousand suns, Ra appears and send my uncle flying everywhere in pieces.

"Men with no honour aren't true men." My hero, I think I'm in love.
