Support conversations- Heath and Kent
C Support
Kent: Lord Heath?
Heath: Yes. I have joined your
ranks... I am from Bern...but don’t hold it against me... And you are?
Kent: Forgive me. I am Kent, a
knight of Caelin.
Heath: Caelin... Then you serve
a
lord of Lycia?
Kent: That is correct. Our
territory may be small, but our knights are among the bravest!
Heath: Right. Well, I can see
that just by looking at you. By the way, are they looking for new
recruits?
Kent: I’m sorry?
Heath: I am a free agent, no
longer with Bern... I...was not able to complete my term of service...
Now I
am looking for someone worthy of my service.
Kent: That is very courageous
indeed. The gates of Caelin are always open. If you are strong, we will
gladly take you.

Kent: Lord Heath... Forgive
my
impertinence, but I must ask you something. Why did you have to leave
the knights of Bern?
Heath: ...Well, that is
impertinent...
Kent: Forgive me. But as the
commander of Caelin’s knights, it is my duty to test the loyalty of any
new recruit, to learn about his past...
Heath: What!? You are the
commander? You are quite...young.
Kent: Lord Heath, please help
me to understand. The wyvern riders of Bern are considered to be the
strongest knights in the land. Surely we Lycian knights would fall to
their lances if we met them head on... So why would you leave Bern for
Lycia?
Heath: ...Bern is not as it
once
was. Our sovereign has imprisoned all those nobles who do not meet his
favor. And their fabled power is a feeble joke. The only real strength
of Bern’s knights these days is in their boasting. And their general is
good for nothing but wagging his tail at the king.
Kent: ......
Heath: There was an uprising on
our frontier, a rebellion of sorts. The knights were ordered to put it
down and kill the rebels. Our commander went to scout out the enemy
camp. This “uprising” was nothing more than a group of unarmed peasants.
Kent: I see...
Heath: Then I heard the truth
from our commander. One of our generals had drummed up a fake rebellion
to enhance his military career. These people did not want to fight.
They ran at the mere sight of us. Then, the famous wyvern riders of
Bern rained savage death down upon these innocents.
Kent: ......
Heath: My unit tried to stop
them. We were all condemned to die for our treason. However, our
general spread the story that we were to be hanged for slaughtering
innocent lives. Before they could round us up, we decided to turn our
coats and run. One of us stayed behind as a decoy, and the rest fled
for the border. After that, we dispersed. All have been killed now,
except for me. Are you satisfied now?
Kent: ...I see. So, Bern...
Heath: Bern is nothing to
me...
I have no love for a country that slaughters its own. Kent, what about
your liege? Would you give your life in this lord’s service?
Kent: Yes. It is a knight’s
honor to swear his fealty and his life. My happiness is to serve.
