Knights!

Vol. 3

Chapter 19...

At the Holy Kingdom's Palace...

Knight - My dear Queen...

Queen - What is it?

Knight - I have someone here who request the King but he is not here.

Queen - Alright, I shall take this, under the King's name.

Knight - One moment, Milady. (Leaves)

Queen - Wonder who might this person be...

Knight - (Walks in) Here he is, Milady.

Queen - Thank you, you're dismissed.

Knight - Thank you. (Leaves)

Queen - Alright... You are?

Zane - (Kneels down) The name Sir Zane, My Queen.

Queen - Sir Zane, rise. 

Zane - (Rises) Thank you.

Queen - What brings you to my presences?

Zane - My Queen, it is such an honor to meet thee since I haven't met any of the royal family here when I came with General Shock.

Queen - Well, well...

Madison passes by the throne room, takes a quick look, then stops.

Zachery - Princess?

Madison - (Whispers) Shh! There is someone talking to my mother.

Zane - My Queen, where is the King? I wish to speak with him.

Queen - I'm sorry, he is not here and I'm sorry I didn't introduce myself. I'm Queen Light.

Zane - It is an honor to serve you, Queen Light.

Queen Light - (Giggles) Oh I have the perfect assignment for you.

Zane - Assignment?

Queen Light - As of now, you are my little girl's bodyguard.

Zane - The... the Princess' bodyguard?

Queen Light - You look strong, maybe stronger for your age. The fiery spirit is in your eyes so I can trust you. It's settled then.

Zane - I wonder who is the Princess...? (Thinks of a fat ugly girl, then shivers) Hells no...

Queen Light - Zachery!!

Zachery - That's my cue. Excuse me, Milady. (Enters) You summoned me, My Queen?

Queen Light - Yes.

Zachery - (Bows) How can I be of service?

Queen Light - I would like to introduce you to a new Knight.

Zane - Paladin, Milady.

Queen Light - Is there such a thing?

Zachery - There are, only a few. No one could pass their utmost intense brutal training, Milady. If he says he is a True Paladin... (Takes his sword from his seethe and points at Zane) ...then I challenge you to a duel.

Madison - (Gasp, to herself) Zachery!! Are you nuts?!

Zane - (Backs up, nervously) Re.. really? In front of the Queen?

Queen Light - Ooohh!! I want to see this. Everyone, to the main courtyard!

Zachery - As you wish. (Puts his sword away) Come, Sir Zane.

Zane - Su... sure...

Everyone is at the main courtyard.

Queen Light - Alright! If Zane wins, he is proven he is a Paladin and shall protect my lovely daughter!
