Chapter 62: House Aurellions Next Move
"While Lucius was known for his eccentricity, it was his Railius son who I found extraordinary."
"Even as a boy, he was calm and collected on the battlefield, able to make accurate judgements."
"It almost seemed that he was not a child but instead a cunning grown adult like his father."
"Though his relaxed and lazy attitude to life was so alike that one cannot help mistaking one for the other."
"It was as if he was the reincarnation of Lucius himself."
Aldorus Belerion, The First Commander of The Pelican Guard.
....
"You really overdid it general."
Aldorus said with a sigh, feeling over half of his magical power get drained, healing his old friend, referring to Leon in the way he was most familiar with as since Brunag Aldorus was the large man’s second in command and most loyal subordinate who did not hesitate to join the Pelican Guards when Leon initially founded it, but since his expulsion from the military the Pelican Guard commander interactions with his old vice general have been few and far between which is why he has maintained his old habits.
"You try fighting off 3 master-level fighters and 500 imperial guards while defending a 10-year-old boy without getting injured."
Leon complained to his friend, who was stunned for a second after hearing what the grandmaster had said, not knowing that Leon had slain 2 other master-level fighters before he arrived for Aldorus was under the impression he was only dealing with Scorpius for he knew just how hard such a feat was. Even he, a master fighter now himself, could only lay down and die when faced with such opponents.
"How are you not dead?"
