Duke Egbert turned to Leandro and said, "You have helped us so much. You have saved Arthur's life. What can I offer you as a reward?"
The Duke and Duchess learned that the musician had a wife and three children. They had been travelling for many years. It wasn't always easy. Now his greatest wish was to settle down and become a music teacher and lyre maker.
When the Duke of Oakwood asked whether he wanted to be Arthur's teacher, Leandro didn't have to think twice. Egbert also learned about a famous old lyre builder. He asked him to make two instruments, one for Arthur, and one for Leandro.
Then he had a house built for the musician and his family in the Duchy of Oakwood. He asked the old lyre maker to come and teach Leandro his craft.
Arthur grew up to be a gifted lyrist and a very good lyre maker too. He became a sought after musician and played at many castles and palaces all over the country.
The young Duke of Oakwood became known for the finest lyres far and wide. They were made of rosewood. Lyre players recognised them by their logo — two owls, a big brown one, and a little white one sitting under its wings.
