Chapter 66 – The Storyteller and Knights-in-Training (2)
“Mada!” The boy looked back at her as if she were describing Riftan with the most austere ter achievements that led to his reputation:
“Lord Calypse is the greatest knight in the continent There’s a reason why he is called the wise hts that are revered as hts were bested by Sir Calypse It was only six years ago that he beat Libadon’s top knight, Sejour Aren, but he also beat the holy sword of Osiria, Kuahl Leon at the Western Union swordsuely in return She had heard about the commander of the Paladin Division many times, a man commended for his excellent swordsmanshi+p—yet, it never dawned on her that her husband could far surpass a ht in the continent
“I decided to be a knight after seeing Sir Calypse perfor that sword competition I have admired him ever since,” the boy finally ended his impassioned speech with his devotion to Riftan
“I, I see…”
Max replied at a loss for words This, in turn, prompted a stern look on the boy’s cheery face
“Madam,” he somberly started, “You have no idea how incredible Lord Calpyse is, do you?”
She hurriedly countered with her little knowledge on Riftan, “I, I know… a-about the d-dragon…”
“Even if he did not participate in the expedition, Sir Calypse is still a great knight Have you never seen hi a sword before?”
“I, I have!” She interjected i a mo-monster…”
Her words trailed to a quiet whisper She was not sure if her disclosure of the fiasco on their travel had counted as It was the first time Riftan had wielded his blade in front of her, yet she had passed out, unable to see the spectacle And on the second tiht was over before she even knew it But Max couldn’t sto out her lack of familiarity with her husband’s feats
Therefore, she began to spin an exaggerated tale…
“I-I also know,” she started, straightening up her spine, and her nervousness, as she recounted a profligate version of the fight “I-I saw Riftan cu-cut a gi-giant a-as bi-big as this fo-fort in ha-half! The-there was a to-total of te-ten gi-giants, bu-but he de-defeated them a-all i-in the b-blink of an e-eye”
She was describing the event shah, in reality, she could not remember how many of the fearsome beasts had appeared She presumed, at the very least, there would have been ten Her bluff proved successful, as the boy looked at her with renewed enthusiasiant ogres…!? What a story! Can you tell us more?”
