Bab 457: 455 Night Attack_1

Deep into the night.

Atop the White Dew City's crenelations, Knight Rupert was hunkered down beside a fire basin, meticulously cleaning his longsword.

Rupert was a typical knight from the Eastern Territory, a handsome young man in his early thirties, whose demeanor resembled more of a suave and dashing bard rather than a warrior. Only his carefully groomed beard lent a hint of stern masculinity to his captivating visage.

He was also among the few veterans of the Pegasus Army who returned unscathed from the battle of Shadow Gorge. Severely wounded, Rupert had been sent back to the eastern territory to recuperate early, hence he was spared from following Marquis Vincent to Silver Moon City.
