    Summary

    “Look who’s finally awake. I think we’re finally ready to begin – wouldn’t you say so, Henry?”

    That name alone was what gave Hans the strength to open his eyes. He found himself staring at the ground beneath him for a long moment - the rest of his body unwilling, or perhaps unable to cooperate with him, before his gaze flickered towards the limp form that hung from the ceiling in front of him.

    It was indeed Henry.

    AKA: A series of chapters depicting Erik's revenge on Henry (and Hans) for killing Istvan Toth. Told from both Hans and Henry's third person point of view, depending on the chapter.

    Summary

    "Henry... you better hold on..." Hans choked out, his voice trembling as he frantically searched the small hut for anything that could help. The only response was Henry's faint coughs and groans.

    Summary

    It contained a stack of letters penned undoubtedly by Father’s hand.
    All started with: “My dearest, Henry”

    Summary

    “Tell me what you need,” Hans says again.

    Henry is quiet for a few moments. Outside, someone walks through the courtyard carrying a bucket of water that splashes out onto the dirt floor. Once the person passes, Henry says in a whisper, “Could you press it? With your hand. My back, I mean. My lower back.”

     

    Hans finds himself needed, and makes himself useful, one night at Trosky. A story inspired by the Bad Back negative perk.

    Summary

    “I’m here, Henry, you’re–” he swallows, “You’re going to be okay.”

    Henry lets out a terrible, wheezing croaking sound.

    It takes Hans too long to realise that he’s laughing.


    When he captures Henry after the fateful duel with Erik, Markvart von Aulitz gives Zizka an ultimatum: hand over the silver, or Henry starts losing fingers.

    Weeks later, when Hans rides back to Suchdol with the might of an army behind him, he finds Henry in a state far worse than Von Aulitz's threats implied.

    With Henry's recovery on the line, Hans vows to find out how things went so wrong so quickly.
