Noble Hearts 03 - the Courageous Heart
“When we started out from Windale I was so sure that Ethan was right in every way to follow King Richard in his quest to fight for God’s cause. But there is nothing godly here in the heat and the sand and the blood of this war. Such things have happened that I wish I had never seen, that Ethan wishes he had never seen. Baldwin as well. In the secret corners of the camp at night we whisper to each other that this is not the cause we wanted to give our souls to. Ethan has been particularly scarred... by the events that have unfolded in the last few days.
We were victorious at Acre, but that victory came at such a price. The king was ill as were many of the men. Our allies, Leopold and Phillip, deserted us and took their men home with them. We were left with reduced forces and the petty squabbles of local politics. That is when the unspeakable happened, Joanna.
Our forces had captured thousands of Saladin’s men. Women and children as well. Nearly three thousand from reports I have heard. With Acre safely in our hands, King Richard has his sights set on Jerusalem.MoreLess
