Stay Together

Ethan gritted his teeth. He was alone with a few knights and the other man already had a dozen of them. 

"Are you afraid, knight! I will still give you a chance to save your life by retreating." Cedric smiled warmly as if he was not the one who was holding the sword against him when Ethan nodded his head.

"Oh yes, I am too scared, my lord. I am afraid how would I explain to his majesty the reason for killing you. For him, he would certainly not believe that you tried to trespass the chamber of his highness and I only did my duty. 

I wonder do you have any better way to tell you how you get killed?" he asked, wiping the sweat off his face as he took out his own sword when the smirk on the face of Cedric stiffened and he stared at the cheeky bastard with a glare.
