Battle of the hills(10)

King Conradin rode furiously towards Count Jean, his face contorted with anger and frustration. He reached out, grabbing Jean by the cloth of his armor, and shouted in a tone that cut through the chaos of the battlefield.

"Why in the name of all that is holy did you abandon the high ground without orders?" The words were a fierce rebuke, laden with the weight of the consequences that had befallen their forces due to the impulsive pursuit. Conradin's eyes burned with a mixture of anger and disappointment as he awaited an explanation from Count Jean.

Count Jean, his head hung low under the weight of both the king's scrutiny and the unforeseen consequences of his actions, summoned the courage to address his enraged liege.
