Capítulo 99: A Duel

"Lucius! Lucius of Pelith, please report to the front of the line!"

Laris stood beside The Marks waiting for the boy to come forward. They claimed they had seen him and the rosters said he was picked up in Lelvern and would be present today, so all they had to do was wait.

What he saw approaching him was unexpected. It was a young teen, no more than fourteen like Mia said. He had jet-black hair and had two differently colored eyes, one gold and one silver. His teeth were also indicative of a mixed bloodline with a beastman.

On his hip was a scabbard for a standard longsword, though the hilt sticking out of it did not match the blade design. The boy also did not exhibit any of the telltale signs of a teen sent to the field of battle. There was typically a lot more anxiety, worry, and/or fear.
