Roland received a suit of armor, Rowena a bracelet, Cooper a belt, and Laura a necklace, all crafted from the finest magical creations.
"Russell, this is yours." Count Merlin did not hand out the gifts personally, instead having his personal manservant Dylan do it for him.
Dylan brought over a large box. When he opened it, there was an exquisite and magnificent bow and arrow set inside.
Count Merlin smiled. "A knight's charge has never been the only option. Especially as a lord, you should have ample means to deal with any unforeseen changes. Therefore, a bow and arrows are the best choice besides a longsword and lance."
