3rd POV. Camelot Castle, Londinium, Kingdom of Britain.

Long ago.....there was a story of young girl who hailed from a low-ranking aristocratic family who was also bankrupt because of being involved in an incident that was still way back from her ancestors' time.

Because of the financial difficulties that this family faced when this girl was born, her parents pleaded the king to take her in to Camelot.

The King already knew about the incident of that family, and in fact, he was also investigating the elusive root cause.

But the king said.....

King: I can't. I don't want to deprive of your child of her true parents.

King: At the very least, you can raise her until she's around at age of 7.

With this, the girl named Robin, was raised by her biological family and she saw the difficult life they led.

So when her parents decided to explain that she'll be working at Camelot....

Robin: It's okay. I'll do my very best! I won't disappoint His Majesty! I will become a knight that this kingdom can be proud of!

So, Robin was sent into the castle.

The moment she set her sights on the castle, she saw how beautiful it is, not to mention how such a castle endured for over hundreds of years.

When they reached the castle's gate, Robin's parents talked to her one last time.

Robin's Father: Robin. Here's a piece of advice I can give to you.

Robin: What is it, Father?

Robin's Father: A knight is not only strong. It is their noble heart and soul, that vowed to protect what is precious to them. So precious that there is no greater honor than to die protecting it until the very end.

Robin: Don't worry, Father! I'll do my best! But what is this precious thing that I have to protect?

This time, it was Robin's mother who spoke and smiled to her son.

Robin's Mother: Robin.

Robin: Yes, Mother?

Robin's Mother: I wish you all the best. Also, try not just to be the prince's protector.

Robin's Mother: Be his friend.

Robin: Become a friend of His Benevolence?

Robin's Mother: Yes. I heard he's at your age.

Robin: But I don't know if I can be his friend.

Robin's Mother: You want to meet His Benevolence, right?

Robin's Mother: A lot of people are wishing they could meet our crown prince.

Robin's Mother: You're lucky that you'll be living under the same roof.

Robin's Mother: Besides, I can see you two becoming the best of friends.
