“Where are you taking me?”
Thurrin could feel the knight roll his eyes before he answered, “Iím only following orders. If it were up to me, I'd kill you here and be done with it!”
Thurrin was still trying to piece together Regus Arram's words. One minute he was arranging for Thurrin to meet with Syon Med and the next minute Regus has Thurrin thrown on the back of a horse to an execution! Except, no one had killed him yet and Regus had never given orders for it to be done... What had Regus ordered? “Do you know Syon Med?” Thurrin asked his guard.
“Syon Med is one of the most decorated knights in Glavinore. He's famous! Syon Med would have killed you without the king having to order it!”
“You won't kill me though?”Thurrin felt like he had to …show more content…
I need to wait for orders before I start to kill prisoners.”
“What did the king order you to do with me?”
“Not to kill you,” the guard said sullenly.
“Were you ordered not to tell me anything or is that your choice?”
“The king don't get to decide everything. He trusts his knights to think for themselves!”
Thurrin let the moment lasps into silence. He would have to trust that Regus's men were loyal even if he did not trust Regus Arram. There was nowhere else to go and Syon Med would not be able to find him if he tried to run. As annoying as these knights were, he would have to stay.
“Ho!” A booming voice called. Thurrin would have assumed that the voice belonged to another knight but Thurrin knew that voice. “I'll take the prisoner from here.”
“You old enough to handle him on your own, lad?”
“Of course! I'm almost sixteen!” Craten's voice sounded indignant but Thurrin knew that his younger brother was much too pleased with himself to be anything other than proud. “Syon Med sent me himself!” Craten handed a paper to the two guards.
“I see,” the guard said, reading the note. “The king himself said that I was not to give this prisoner to anyone but Syon Med.”
“You have his seal right there,” Craten said …show more content…
“I will take the prisoner from here.”
“Sir Syon Med!”
“There's no need to shout,” Craten said without missing a beat. “We need to keep a low profile. Sir Syon Med's presence was meant to be a secret.”
“I can keep a secret,” the guard said before running off.
Craten ran to Thurin as soon as the other knights had left. “How did you end up like that?”
“You can thank Regus Arram,” Thurrin said as Craten helped him rub feeling back into his limbs.
“Regus said that he'd send you straight to me,” Syon said in a concerned voice.
“He had to get me away from Fergus of Sirle and his bard first,” Thurrin told them the whole story. “The two of you are supposed to be on Ysig. What are you doing
