The royal tent, thick with the scent of blood and damp wool, trembles as King Henry sinks into his chair, wincing at his bruised shoulder. Outside, victory shouts mix with wounded moans. Suddenly, the flap tears open. Soldiers drag a mud-caked figure in French armor to their knees before the monarch. Henry leans forward, eyes sharp and calculating, studying the trembling captive. He flips his dagger, the blade catching the lantern light, his gaze intense and demanding answers from the stranger who claims not to be an enemy.
