While the ladies were having their tea party, Quinus, Johan, and the others went to a sacred location. Johan took them to his father's study—the place where Johnathan Dule would do his research and store his paperwork.
Quinus was fascinated by the study and all of the books and artifacts that were stored there.
"You can grab anything you want, My Lord," Johan said.
"Thanks for the offer, but I don't want to take your father's things for my personal gain. It wouldn't sit well with me," Quinus replied.
That's what Johan liked about Quinus. He was honorable and had a code that he didn't stray from. He was the complete opposite of his cousin, Marcus.
'He's going to make a fine king.' Johan thought.
"Well, you can still look around, my Lord," Johan offered.
"Well, I'll make sure to ask you. If I see something that interests me," Quinus smiled.
"Didn't you say that you wanted to speak in private, your Highness?" General Douglas asked while getting a little impatient.
"Douglas, you need to enjoy the little things in life, before you have to deal with the bigger issues," Quinus said.
"Your Highness, I will when this kingdom is safe. We have no time for such things," Douglas replied.
"You are a very boring old man, Sir Douglas," Sir George commented.
"Enough... Your Highness, you said there were details that you needed to discuss in private. And if it is a sensitive issue then you should hurry," Douglas said.
"Ah, fine. Lester. Please bring us some tea, and your staff can go about your business," Johan ordered.
"Yes, my Lord. We will prepare your drinks," Lester replied and bowed.
He and his staff left the study. While Lester prepared the tea and snacks, he and the rest of the staff did their daily chores and duties. Once everything was to his Lordship's satisfaction, he returned with the tea and served it.
"Thank you, Lester. You and the rest of the staff can leave us now," Johan ordered.
"Yes, My Lord," Lester replied.
He bowed and left the study. He locked the door and stood there on the other side. Just in case, his lordship needed anything.
"Good. Now we can speak freely. So, what happened in the labyrinth, your Highness," Johan asked.
Quinus turned and looked at Johan.
"I believe by the time we made it to the sixth floor. Marcus and I lost almost every one of our troops... The only members of my party that were still alive were Percy and Sir George. While Marcus had three of his mercenaries," Quinus said.
"It's not hard to believe. A Dungeon that was building up a monster horde in the lower floors couldn't have been easy to conquer...," Johan replied.
"Well, Marcus thought it was a good time to split up on the sixth floor when we were taking on a horde of goblins. I used Sun's Smite to burn hundreds of them. And when we thought we were safe. Three Hobgoblins came at us from the ceiling... I thought my luck had finally run out," Quinus said.
Sir George nodded his head as he recalled the moment when he thought they were all done for.
"We thought that we were going to die," Sir George spoke up.
"Yeah, those things were vicious. Their blades were poisoned, and they had no care for anyone's well-being. The way they attacked. It was as if their sole purpose was to kill anything and everything in their path," Quinus said.
