Konrad von Heindel woke in the dungeon and drank the wine I offered him in long gulps. Wischelbach had fallen to a hostile lord, which had to be an unbearable humiliation for the man who ruled this land.
There's nothing more wretched than being locked in the dungeon of your own castle.
"To think the day would come when Wischelbach, which the Heindel family has held all these years, would be taken so easily. How can I ever face my ancestors at the Lord's side when I die?"
At his father's lament, the heir Rudolf couldn't lift his head, and the other knights sank into gloom. The knights of Wischelbach had been soundly defeated by the Gale Knights. Not one man on our side had died.
Taking Wischelbach cleared the first quest and put 50,000 points and 500 gold coins in my hands. Plundering a small village nets you a few gold coins at best, so this was a serious payday.
