Ser Reinhardt Barclay, Knight Paramount of the Knightly orders of Hanseti-Ruska, stood before the remains of his fallen friend. His eyes stained with tears, nose runny and arms heavy, he had known this man since their earliest day and had served him for nearly 60 years. He thought long and hard on these years of service to this man, this king that lay before him, and he would not change a single thing about those years. He was proud to have befriended such a kind, brave, and honorable man. “Ist was an honor to serve du, mein liege, all those years, and all those adventures….. Ich hope du are finally able to rest soundly now, Gott knows du earned ist.”
