Lucen was in front of his father in the study, the atmosphere was rather heavy. Vardon was the first one to speak.
"So you're telling me that you wish to be given a mission?"
"Yes, Father. You said my men need to prove themselves if they're to be knighted. So how can they prove their worth without doing anything?"
"Hm, as usual, you're very direct."
"What's the point of going around when you'll just return to the same place?" Lucen asked. Vardon leaned back slightly in his chair, his fingers drumming on the armrest as he studied his son.
"Very well, I will give you a mission. There's a village located south of here, near the southern border of Stellhart. They have requested aid due to bandit attacks, and they reported building a base in the nearby forest. Your mission would be to eliminate any threat to the people of Stellhart. If you have anything to report, use this."
