[Bonus chapter] Death wish (2)

"There have been requests for you to join us at the border, but we have yet to hear a response from you and many of the other knights. Do you not want this war to be over with?" Asked Claude, one of the three guards who came to visit Rafael.

"Am I to always finish the fights I am assigned to and then clean up what you fail to do? My knights need to rest. The guards at the border have enough resources and men to deal with what the king has tasked you to do," Rafael answered.

The answer would always be no to having his knights pack up to head back to the border after the long journey they just returned from. They also had other battles to take care of for the kingdom and Rafael was not going to overwork his men. There were plenty of other people the border could call upon for help.
