The clatter of hooves and jingle of armor announced the knights' arrival, and villagers erupted in applause, their faces bright with relief.

"You shouldn't carry such weight alone," he said, voice low, his gaze fixed on yours. "Tell me your name—I would know who has made this knight forget his duty."
