And so, on the spur of the moment, Rouen simply threw himself between the blond knight and the dark skinned orphan, getting slashed in the face as consequence.

"Rouen!" Lamorak yelled, not believing what was just happening. His other two comrades were just as shocked, and the child that had been spared stared at Rouen with terrified eyes. The raven haired knight held his right eye and screamed in pain, blood gushing out of the place he was trying to seal.

The villagers had also been terrified and started running away one by one. The blond knight - who happened to be none other than Luntian Aono at that time - hadn't expected that Rouen would go that far just to protect a stranger and was surprised as well, but he sure wasn't going to get away with what he had just done. Not on Sir Lamorak's watch:

"You shitty bastard!" The red-head lashed out pretty much immediately, storming at Luntian and throwing his fists at him without even considering the consequences his actions could be carrying.

Usually, an attack like that would still be bearable, but Lamorak as well hosted a mysterious power - just like Catherine's - which rendered his physical strength even more powerful. Of course, he was unaware of his powers at that time. Tristan and Ector as well as the other Grona knights had to step in in order to try and stop the rampaging red-head.

Meanwhile Rouen lied on the ground, covering what he could of his currently bleeding face. The dark skinned boy - Kai - rushed over to him, tears forming in his eyes. Why did he do that for him? This man he didn't even know had just gotten severely hurt because of him and there was nothing he could do to help him!

"Someone... help..!" The brown haired child couldn't get his voice to come out properly no matter how hard he tried, so no one ended up hearing him. Kai continued crying and placed his smaller hand on Rouen's, not knowing what else to do: "Someone! Please!"

This time, the boy's voice was loud enough to reach the others, Lamorak in particular. It was as if the beast within him had been tamed by the orphan's voice and when realization struck him properly, he quickly rushed to Rouen, kneeing down to him and helping the injured man sit up: "We need a medic, immediately!"
