Brave hearts

The castle bell rang like an irritating alarm early in the morning but in Verdes, every bell toll has a meaning.

There was a bell toll for training, council meetings, death sentences, banishment, imprisonment, marriage, birthdays, and war.

Nothing Shamira dreaded more than the sound of the bell for the test. Her eyes squinted as she tried to think about the possibilities of him assigning new knights.

" Ursula, What's the toll for? Don't tell me Cyprian is still recruiting knights? Ursula who was busy peeling grapes for her stopped to have a rethink.

" None that I know of except the four peasants that were invited to the palace a few days ago. The peasant that saved your life and his friends. I think one of them is waiting on the queen another on princess Amaya and the rest are in the general Vincent's army. Do you think the King wants to make them knights? Shamira breathes exasperated at the thought of Michael working for Cyprian.
