As the training ground became fully surrounded, Leo began to tremble with unease.
He wasnât alone. The armed merchants who had followed them clutched their weapons tightly, glancing nervously at the encroaching soldiers.
Only Ghislain appeared completely unbothered, casually surveying their surroundings.
The surrounding forces remained still, merely holding their position. A heavy silence hung in the air.
After a moment, Baron Magvel appeared, flanked by a dozen knights.
Baron Magvel smirked as he looked at Leo.
"So many of you came. Are you planning to fight right here and now?"
This knight, though skilled, was not likely stronger than Bandr, the baronâs late chief knight. Defeating Julien seemed out of reach.
Still, Baron Magvel intended to proceed. If, by some miracle, his knight won, it would make everything much easier.
"Let this âJulienâ or whoever step forward."
Julien gripped his sword tightly, his nervousness evident. But before he could move, Ghislain placed a firm hand on his shoulder.
"Take a break this time."
"Why? Are you planning to go instead?" Julien asked, relief flickering across his face.
Ghislain shook his head.
