His silver breastplate bore the crest of a rearing lion, and one hand rested lightly upon the pommel of his sword. “You must be Frederick,” he said, studying the young squire with stern gray eyes. “I am Sir Roland. Welcome to the castle—though whether you remain welcome will depend upon how quickly you learn.” Frederick dismounted and bowed.
