Ser Robert looked at the dead body of his former teacher, pooling blood and still stricken with that shocked face with a complicated gaze.

Despite what their current interactions might have indicated, the two men had held each other in high regard and had fought many a battle together.

If Ser Ballmer had been just a bit more flexible, if he had just known when to shut his mouth, if he had just known when to nod and follow his orders without any question just like he always had, things would have been certainly different.

However he just had to go ahead and announce his plan to the whole world, And if that was not enough, he even went as far as to directly threaten the nobleman aboard, swearing to reveal his secrets to everyone.

Even the simple minded Ser Robert could see how foolish such a thing was.
