Thierry, who had silently slipped in without being noticed, watches how de Peronne leaves the tavern. Calmly smiling, he turns his head to Gaetan.
What do you have against butchers, Chevalier de Rethel? Maybe others are so idiotic as to release a defeated enemy to give him a chance to come back and fight again, but not me.
So, I'll take the label "butcher" as a compliment and an expression of your deep respect and awe for my superior intellect.
Thierry sips calmly from his goblet.
I take it you are not a butcher?
Thierry shrugs.
That's ok. Not all of us can be smart.
Thierry laughs softly.
