Henry wasn't sure if he was supposed to witness what he had seen the previous evening.
It was after he had put away the horse and he could move around quietly. He didn't want anyone to think he was eavesdropping on purpose, but even the commander with his sharp senses didn't notice that Henry was there and able to listen to what he had said.
As he went through his tasks for the day, he tried to ignore the hushed whispers from other apprentices that the commander was in a bad mood today. He kept his head down and did his part in winterizing the knights' area.
Sooner or later he would see Sir Trenton and begin the work he did for him the second half of the day.
At least that's how things normally progressed.
As lunch approached, Henry noticed the place was unusually quiet. The training grounds were devoid of matches or drills. As he looked around, only a few seemed to be knights while the rest of the people around were apprentices or squires.
