Summary
For the last five years, Shane had led the cavalry division of their retinue, and Ilya, whose skill with a broadsword was legendary across the kingdom, led the infantry. They were each as deadly as the other, on foot or on horseback, but they had preferred the option of joint captaincy to sole command of smaller cavalry companies. Most knights would have refused to command on foot, but not Ilya, who said he was no different from the rest of the men, who may not have been plucked from their homes to be trained for the Prince’s Guard, but who fought with the same valor. This stance was among the many reasons that their men loved him.
