บท 320: Assessment

The first step to reach knighthood started here, today.

Emery arrived at the courtyard of the Lionarch Castle and what greeted him was the sight of hundreds of people with different characteristics gathered together. 

The castle yard, which was normally empty on a normal day, at the moment was filled with dozens of tents to its four corners. Each tent came with a different color and flag. Emery could see a myriad kinds of images embroidered on them. They were the emblems of each noble family in the Lioness Kingdom.

Walking past several tents near the entrance, Emery could see most of them were crowded with several people who were tending one person: the noble's squire. From stewards, guards, even coaches; anything was provided to those squires from the noble families to make sure they would succeed today's assessments.
