More Shocking Revelations
"It has been a pleasure watching you grow into a fantastic Martial Artist, Your Highness."
A profoundly powerful voice escaped Sage Sayfeel.
It reverberated in his heart.
Rui stared at the Martial Sage with unadulterated shock. "So all this time…you were a hidden Martial Sage."
Rui felt weak in his legs at the weight of this new revelation.
He recalled the incident quite clearly and deeply in his mind. He had yet to become a Martial Artist; he hadn't even had a real fight with his life on the line at that point. That had been his first conflict.
The very memory of it embarrassed him.
The man who had saved him was a Martial Squire or was supposed to be. He had taught Rui that neither fear nor failure disqualified him from being a warrior. It was what he did after that decided whether he was a warrior or not.
