The townspeople were gathered around the center of town as The Royal Family were at the center of the tower. They had all dressed formally for this event. Infinite was facing the 3.
"Infinite, all of us are thankful for what you've done for this family. You fixed the mistakes you caused. You turned yourself around and became our best friend. And we welcome you to our family with open arms' ' Elise spoke. Infinite knelt down. Elise pulled out a sword and placed the tip on top of his shoulders.
" I dub thee" Elise said as he moved the sword from one shoulder to the other "Sir Infinite, Knight of Soleanna" The townspeople cheered. Infinite looked up at them.
"Thank you, your majesty. I swear, as long as I live, I'll serve this country and protect you all at all costs. I'm willing to die for this country" Infinite said.
"No need to get all dramatic" Mephiles said. Elise and Exe laughed. Infinite stood up and retrieved the sword from Elise. He held it up with pride as he embraced his new role as a knight. Exe walked up to Infinite.
"You know, it's gonna be lonely with just you serving us right?" Exe said. "Which is why I got you something" He points to the the boat parking in front of them. It was a group of jackals, there were 3 boys and one girl, all in formal wear. They all stopped when they saw Infinite.
"Boss?" One of them spoke. Infinite dropped his sword, his mask falling off as well.
Infinite began to cry as he saw the sight before them. He turned to Exe.
"How did you…." Infinite began. Exe smiled.
"The resistance had them captured. I convinced Knuckles to release them and I took them here. They're all Knights of Soleanna, like you" Exe said. Infinite hugged Exe.
" Thank you…" Infinite said.
"You've done so much for me, I figured I should return the favor somehow" Exe said. Infinite rushed to his squad, hugging them all. Exe smiled.
For the rest of their years, Elise would be Queen, Exe and Mephiles would be Lords raising their Princess, and Infinite and his crew were Knights, defending their country from danger. They were all a big family and nothing ever came between them since. If Exe had not given up his past, none of this would be possible.
