“My next choice is my guard, Aber Tawy’s First Knight, Sir Maxen.” He moved to the front of the crowd and caught the fabric in his hand once it reached his hand. He and Audra acknowledged one another with a nod, but nothing more. “As for my third selection, I choose John as a my champion.” Several men glanced at one another, since John was such a popular name, so Audra clarified by pointing, and young John, pride shining in his light eyes, stepped forward and bowed. “I shall win for you today,…
