Edit: Hey there, it happened again. Sorry for the inconvenience and/or false update. I figured it was faster to just delete the old post so I could get this to you lot faster.
Bit of a warning. The medieval times were a harsh, brutal, uncaring time.
A time of might makes right, where kindness was often as not thought of as weakness and those who were helpless were certainly not treated well.
The start of this chapter reflects that. I understand that this may make some people uncomfortable, but I personally don't think we need to or should shy away from accuracy.
That said. I certainly do not showcase it in a way that screams approval, nor do I think I did it in a way that is gratuitous. Hell, it's not nearly as bad as stuff I read when I was twelve. If the opening of this chapter makes you uncomfortable, I ask only that you power through, there is rhyme and reason to it.
That is all, hope you enjoy the chapter overall.
