Chapter 56 the barons hospitality 6 (2/2)
”yes my name is Mars, what is your question?”
”is it true you cut though the cursed obsidian with one slash?”
Mars gave a puzzled look at the woman before he looked over at Reimund that quickly explained what cursed obsidian was
”cursed obsidian is what people and objects cursed by the 13 turn into”
”oh, in that case yes it's true”
the sparkle in the eyes of the ponytail woman grew stronger before she gave a sigh and a resentful look at the man with bandages on his face
”if only I could have seen it, but SOMEONE had to get knocked out which I then had to carry all the way back”
”hey, it's not my fault that commoner had to speak out of line”
Mars suddenly felt like he had seen the bandage covered man before put still could not put his finger on where he had seen him until Reimund spoke up and intruded the 4 people
”Mars this is my 4 knights, Annabel, Gill, Jeff and Oliver”
”oh... nice to meet you guys”
”nice to meet you too Mars!”
Annabel gave a energetic response, while Jeff and Oliver that looked alike with short brown hair and brown eyes and a similar buff build both gave a nod to Mars
”oh don't worry about Jeff and Oliver they are twins and men of few words”
”okay”
”well then now that everyone knows each other let's get the food served”
”wait, lord Orbage where is the young master?”
Reimund looked over at Gill that had his face bandaged and plainly said
”we sent him to the capital, off to the knights academy earlier today after he admitted he had assaulted Mars with 5 mercenary's... hopefully he can build some character before he comes back home”
”I see...”
Jeff and Oliver both crossed their arms and gave a few nods, while Annabel gave what looked like a sigh of relief
”well with that over, let's eat”
Reimund ringed a small bell and soon servants entered and served the food
”oh this looks good”
Mars looked over the pies, bread, stakes and even delicious looking salads that was placed on the table with glee while he robbed his hands together, which made Irene give a sweet smile
”don't worry Mars, you eat as much as can here”
”don't worry, that's what I plan to do”
the next 45 minutes was a blur for Mars as he ate what he could while being surprise over how good all of it tasted, even though it wasn't amazing Mars sure felt so after having lived off fruit and roasted meat for the past 2 months
”that's it.... can't eat anymore”
Mars put down his cutlery after having emptied his plate for food and learned back in the dining chair
”well then, now that everyone is done eating I have an announcement to make”
Mars looked over at Reimund that stood up from his chair along with the 4 knights while Irene had her usual smile on her face on the side, Reimund looked over the 4 knights and spoke with a wide smile on his face
”Hanna have woken up, not only that but the doctor said there nothing wrong with her anymore, she's perfectly healthy”
the 4 knights lit up, this was clearly the first they had heard of it and for a while no one said anything until Gill asked
”but... how did the young lady get healed, I saw those wounds and can say for sure that the best healer of the kingdom would not be able to heal her... did you invite someone from the empire lord Orbarge?”
when Gill mentioned the empire the other 3 knights expressions dimmed slightly, even the twins Jeff and Oliver had their poker faces go a shade or two darker
”no the heal was not form the empire or Destra, but the Mother forest”
this time it was Annabel that spoke up
”...how did you get the elvers help?”
Reimunds smile grew wider
”the healer was not a elf, but a half dragon”
”a half dragon!”
Gill exclaimed and the other 3 also took in a cold breath
”dear don't you think you have teased them enough?”
”okay okay, if you say so dear”
Reimund sat down again
”the one that healed Hanna was... Mars”
””””WHAT!?””””
