Knowing when to quit (1)

"You sure took your sweet time to come out here and handle your knights. What could have been more important in your tent when you were hearing all of this yelling from your knights? I almost had to kill a few of your knights" said Martin Flynn, one of the captains for the border guards. 

Rafael ignored Martin and created a path between his knights and the guards. There were so many townspeople around and all this fighting between the people meant to be keeping the kingdom safe would reach the king and the court which would send letters to annoy him. 

"Get back," Rafael said to his knights as he pushed toward his tent so there would be space between them and the guards.
