"With you by my side, how can they threaten me?"
She saw Maxime's strength very clearly, and above all she noticed the ease with which he pierced Perceval.
She knew Perceval herself, after all, even if Count Ardan was a rather unsociable person, he sometimes went up to the capital to make connections during gatherings of the nobility.
And of course, he brought his precious daughter with him.
When she had first seen Perceval, it had been as an elegant man surrounded by numerous noble girls, most of them viscount's daughters.
After all, as well as being handsome and strong, he came from the family of Duke Devron.
His status was among the best in the kingdom.
But this famous knight now lay lifeless on the ground before her.
"This rising star could look so wretched," she thought silently.
Simultaneously, she glanced again at Maxime.
