Capítulo 190: The wind after victory

A gentle calm settled over the fields of Benevento, completelly offsetting from  the chaos of battle that had raged just days prior. The sun bathed the landscape in a warm, golden light, casting long shadows that stretched across the land. Sicilian soldiers, weary yet resolute, took their well-deserved rest. The rhythmic clatter of their armor and the soft murmurs of camaraderie filled the air.

On the second day following the battle, a somber task awaited them. The fallen French soldiers, once adversaries in the heat of combat, were now met with the respect accorded to the departed. They were gathered and placed in a mass grave, a solemn act to prevent the spread of disease in the newly won territory. The knights among them, those who had faced their end with honor and valor, found their final resting places in consecrated ground, their legacy preserved.
