A few weeks passed since the knights moved their base closer to the kingdom. It wasn't long after they were settled when Wilbur told Samuel about an extraordinary opportunity. The opportunity to pick five knights to become a part of his inner circle. These men would be the ones to help the De Vil boy make important decisions for their squadron. According to Wilbur, Samuel needed to choose the knights within the first five weeks of being chosen as right-hand. After everything he had been through with one knight, the blonde boy already knew who was going to be his first pick. Especially with how much he has improved since becoming a knight.

"Attention everyone," Wilbur called out with Samuel standing by his side, causing everyone to gather around the clearing before their commander continued to address the group of knights that surrounded them, "I have called this meeting to announce that Samuel has picked the first member of his inner circle. The person he chose is very young, the youngest to be chosen for this honor. Despite this, Samuel feels he deserves this place due to the improvement of his skills and the dedication he puts into becoming a great knight. And I have no doubts that this knight will be an excellent addition to the inner circle."

As murmurs began to fill the air, Wilbur took a step back to allow Samuel to address the squadron before him. A shaky breath escaped the blonde boy after some eyes fell back on him. It took Samuel a moment to gather his nerves before clearing his throat to grab everyone's attention. "The first knight that I have chosen to aid in making decisions for our squadron is Jason!"

Jason stared up at Samuel and Wilbur with his jaw dropped and eyes wide while the knights nearest to him congratulated him. A smile soon appeared on the De Vil boy's face after watching the young knight break out of his trance and talk to his peers. It wasn't long after that when a hand was placed on Samuel's shoulder, drawing his attention to Wilbur, who was staring back at him with a somewhat skeptical look on his face.

"You sure he's ready for this position?" the Eriks man questioned while keeping his eyes glued to Jason as their squadron continued to celebrate his accomplishment, "he seems pretty young. How old is he? Eleven?"

"He's twelve and more than ready for this job," Samuel responded without an ounce of hesitation before turning his gaze back to the smiling Jason, "even though he's young, he puts in as much if not more effort as the next guy. He wants to make sure everyone's safe. That's how it should be."

Wilbur paused for a moment as he studied the boy surrounded by the men of their squadron. It wasn't long after that when a proud smile appeared on the brunette man's face as he turned his attention back to Samuel. "Call him over. I have a mission for the two of you."
