The ballista, at least, did good work for now; the bolt flew off into the sky, directly piercing the shingles that made up the tower's roof and igniting the rafters. Within the day, the towers went down in flames.
While you were watching all of this, you heard heavier steps than usual. To your surprise, Sophia, your daughter arrived in her hauberk, which you had lent to her. Not only that, but she had somehow acquired a tabard bearing the Adlershorst eagle on it. She also had tied up her hair with a ribbon.
<span class="mu-i"> ''Where did you get that?'' </span> You asked.
<span class="mu-i"> ''When you gave me the chainmail, Father, I asked my handmaidens to sew an appropriate tabard for it. Do you like it?'' </span> she asked.
You weren't really certain what to think of it; a woman in armour was something that only happened in the most exceptional of circumstances.
<span class="mu-i"> "Do you want me to knight you here and now, or do you want to wait for the endsieg?" </span> You deadpanned.
<span class="mu-i"> ''I didn't mean to be a knight, Father. I just wanted to feel protected.'' </span> She explained with a small smile.
<span class="mu-i"> ''Nevermind it then.'' </span> You replied.
