Celebratory Feast

“As soon as Karstedt received Judithe’s ordonnanz, he ordered me to help regain control of the north gate.”

Our feast had started, and Wilfried was in particularly high spirits as he regaled us all with his tale. Because he was an underage archduke candidate, he had initially been told to stay away from the battle, but the sudden rush of knights to the west gate had made its northern counterpart especially vulnerable when yet another distraction had appeared. Karstedt had also concluded that anyone attacking the temple would have a great enough mana capacity that Wilfried would need to bind them.

“My orders were to capture them, if possible, which was no easy feat,” Wilfried continued. His dark-green eyes sparkled as he described the battle with various chops and punches, dictating to Roderick, who was feverishly transcribing his every word. “I managed to catch a big one, though. Grausam! I got the old Giebe Gerlach! Let me guess—you’re too shocked for words?”

Well, that’s another Grausam for the pile.

Grausam’s name had cropped up during tales of so many battles that I was starting to lose track of them all. Surely this was the last one. Surely there couldn’t be more. Just thinking about it was making me kind of sick.

“I bound Grausam with my schtappe, and—”

“A question, if you would allow me.” Roderick’s pen was hovering over his paper. “Were the decoy troops at the north gate not wearing silver capes?”

“Hm?” Wilfried thought for a moment. “They were, but the capes had normal cloth on the inside. As soon as they turned over, mana worked on them just fine.”

The invaders had apparently blocked about half of our knights’ attacks by holding up their capes, but because they were riding atop highbeasts, they hadn’t been able to fully cover themselves with silver. It had taken quite some time, but Wilfried ultimately succeeded in capturing “Grausam.”

“I took him to the Knight’s Order and couldn’t believe it when they told me he was the third Grausam to show up in Ehrenfest. Rozemyne, you fought one too, right? How did your battle go?”

“You can ask Hartmut over there for the details,” I said. “He will explain things not even I can remember.”

“Hmm... Hartmut, huh?” Wilfried muttered with a slight grimace, casting an eye on the large group that had gathered. Hartmut was eagerly describing the Battle of Gerlach while Clarissa gleefully recounted the Battle of Ahrensbach. They went into excruciating detail, so exaggerated and overflowing with the names of gods that I wanted to sigh.

“If you would rather avoid Hartmut, might I suggest speaking with Lady Hannelore?” I said. “She commanded three wolfaniels against Lanzenavian soldiers while in Ahrensbach, attacked Grausam the instant he was open, and fought with vigor befitting a Dunkelfelger archduke candidate.”

Hannelore was currently engaged in a lively conversation with Elvira, who gave a sincere thank-you as my mother before switching back into her noble persona. From there, Elvira launched into a broad discussion of the various battles and Dunkelfelger’s accomplishments in them—normal
