5 Chapter 5 who did you kill?

The Captain walked from the stables leading a 17hh friesan, Vulcan, saddled with a quiver off arrows attached to his saddle. She had a bow in her hands. The two men trotted in with a tired look on their faces. Their horses covered in sweat.

"Who?" The Captain noticed it instantly.

"I don't understand Cap."

"Who did you kill? Don't try to deny it, their is blood on your fist Ajax". The Captain says, the vemon on her tounge evident.

"It was just some begger -"

"A man in the village ,known for harrasing and trying to kill mercenaries, started a fight with Ajax so he punched him as defense." cuts in Ellis who had just dismounted his mount.

"Sounds like an excuse to me."

"Vera hush or I will slice you're tounge from your mouth when I get back. While I am away, Bella will be in charge. What she says will be law so long as it goes with what I have previously said."

Bella nods at her Captain and promises to keep the place going. After having been reprimanded for getting involved when she shouldn't have, Vera instinctively lowered her head and stared at the floor.

"Vera head up, you joined the conversing and so you must act as though you are part of the conversation. If you haven't noticed, I have very little patience when it comes to trivial matters. If I do not leave soon, you will all starve before you know it."

"Why did you not leave while we were out then?" Ellis asked, getting confused looks from everyone else.

"Had I have left without having told you lot where I was going and who was to be in charge, what do you think would have happened? It would be a case of praying whoever I told, told you correctly. And don't say write a letter, I cannot write in English. I can speak it fluently but not write. And you Ellis and Ajax cannot read French can you?" The Captain said obviously.
