The heart
The soldiers around, including Sir Aldric and Lady Elyssa, immediately bowed in respect, acknowledging the imposing presence of their lord, Kaloch.
His armor gleamed like the sun, marking him as a powerful and respected leader. A reverent silence hung over the battlefield, even interrupting the cry of the child.
Johnny, witnessing Lord Kaloch's triumphant entrance onto the battlefield, couldn't help but feel a shiver of concern down his spine. His eyes narrowed suspiciously as he thought to himself, "Curse it! A big shot arrived to ruin my plans!"
Lord Kaloch, with an imposing presence, observed the scene with discerning eyes. His voice resonated authoritatively, yet carried a majestic calmness. "By the grace of the Emperor! What the hell happened here?" he inquired, directing his gaze at the bowed soldiers.
Sir Aldric, quickly rising, succinctly explained the situation, detailing the discovery of the child and the tragedy that had unfolded nearby. Lord Kaloch listened attentively, his serious expression indicating an understanding of the gravity of the situation.
Lord Kaloch, with his golden armor shining like the sun, turned his gaze to the young boy. He called the child's name with a surprisingly gentle voice, "Alexander!"
The sly smile that once adorned Johnny's face faded in the face of Lord's Kaloch's imposing figure. Kaloch's presence represented a significant threat to his plans.
However, Lord Kaloch turned abruptly, his gaze now fixed on the corpse of one of the fallen warriors. It was Noah, Alexander's uncle, who had been the boy's tutor.
With a heavy sigh, Lord Kaloch looked at the soldiers around him, awaiting his orders. "Noah was a brave man and a dedicated mentor to two children. With the tragedy that has befallen them, we need to find a new home for the children."
The soldiers exchanged puzzled looks, trying to recall if Noah, the fallen warrior, had any children or someone to care for. In their memories, Noah was known to spend most of his time in the village tavern, indulging in the pleasures of drink and gambling. There was no mention of a wife or children in his stories.
A murmur of confusion spread among the soldiers as they sought to understand the unexpected revelation about Noah's connection to the children. The absence of a maternal figure and Noah's somewhat reckless life raised speculations.
Some soldiers exchanged thoughtful looks, pondering the possibility that Noah might have had a relationship with a woman in the village, perhaps a harlot, resulting in the children's parentage. The battlefield, once permeated by respectful silence, was now filled with suspicion and questioning.
Lord Kaloch, with an intensified air of authority, unsheathed his sword, the blade emitting a golden light that seemed to echo the strength of his words. "In the Emperor's name, all must respect the dead!" he declared with a firm voice.
The battlefield, once again, fell into a reverent silence, the soldiers absorbing the solemn message.
As the lord spoke, Lady Elyssa gently nudged Sir Aldric. With an almost imperceptible whisper, she mentioned the possibility of adoption to care for Alexander and Cecilia. Sir Aldric, turning to her with an intrigued look, nodded, indicating that the suggestion had not fallen on deaf ears.
Lord Kaloch, with his unmatched discernment, noticed Lady Elyssa's subtle movement as she nudged Sir Aldric. His eyes, full of cunning, focused on the vice-captain, silently questioning if she had something to say.
A reproachful look from Sir Aldric seemed to discourage any impulsiveness.
However, Lady Elyssa, raising her head with determination, straightened her chest as if gathering courage. She responded clearly, "I... I would be interested in adopting the children, my lord." Her voice, though firm, revealed a mix of compassion and resolution in the face of the unexpected turn of events.
The soldiers, watching the scene with surprise, looked alternately between Lady Elyssa, Lord Kaloch, and Sir Aldric.
Lord Kaloch, upon hearing Lady Elyssa's proposal to adopt the children, let out a surprising laughter, a laughter that echoed almost violently across the battlefield. His normally serious eyes sparkled with an ironic light, revealing a facet of his personality that rarely manifested.
After the unexpected laughter, Lord Kaloch nodded in satisfaction. "So be it by the will of the Emperor," he declared, accepting Lady Elyssa's proposal. The soldiers, surprised by their lord's unusual reaction, maintained a respectful posture before the decision.
Sir Aldric expressed disapproval by rolling his eyes upward, making his discontent with the decision evident. However, despite his objection, he understood that, since his lord had already made the decision, there was no possibility of turning back.
Johnny managed to tame his emotions, suppressing the excitement that enveloped him. His fear and apprehension regarding the lord dissipated, making way for a tangible euphoria. On the brink of entering high society, he was about to delve into a class that held numerous secrets of the mysterious powers that pervaded this fascinating world.
