Side Story: The White Dragon – Part 3

This Riftan Calypse was insulting the tenets that knights valued more than their own lives. It was a comment that would enrage not only those holding knighthoods, but also any who aspired to the title. Yet, he did not stop there.

"I've met countless knights, but most only ever talk about honor without demonstrating it. It's all just a pretty portrait, and I don't like having to speak those same absurd words."

"I see." Triton gazed at his squire while stroking his beard, then said matter-of-factly, "So it's not that you don't take the oath seriously. You are taking it too seriously."

The arrogant smile playing on Riftan's lips vanished. He furrowed his brows and glared at his superior. "Did you even hear what I said?"

"I did. You're unwilling to make an oath that you cannot keep. In other words, you are overly conscious of the weight your words will carry," Triton affirmed with a grin.
