Slowly Staining Their Hearts In Darkness
"I'll be going to the capital first," Mordred patted William's shoulder. "Are you sure you don't want to come with me?"
William shook his head, "I still have to train them, Uncle. They're still not up to my standards."
Mordred looked at the thirty-six Hipogriffs in the sky. They were currently practicing an aerial formation along with the Wyvern and Gryphon.
They still had ten more days before the Knighting Ceremony, but Mordred had to go to the capital early because James asked him to run some errands. He would also be there to witness the King officially award William his commander post because all the nobles were required to attend the ceremony.
This was the King's way of letting everyone know about the birth of the new Knight Order and give them the chance to see William. This way, they would recognize him when he visited their domains during official missions.
