Loud trumpets roared across the kingdom, the people forgot about the incident 3 days ago when many people died including the queen. They forgot about their fear because the four great knights came home victorious against the kingdom of Salvador. The knights were immediately summoned by the king to plan a mission for the purpose of defeating Arthur.

The knights entered the palace and the king happily greets them.
"Welcome my children! Have a sit and drink!"  he said.

"It is our pleasure to serve the kingdom, your majesty, but I think that this is no time for drinking " said Joaquin— the youngest of the knights.

"Don't be like that Joaquin, please drink for this is the only time we have to celebrate because this kingdom is dying" said the king.

"Dying? Why would you say that Louis? We just defeated Salvador and brought victory to our kingdom!" said Michael who is the oldest of the knights and the closest to the king.

The king sat down his throne silently and said,
"Arthur is free"

"What!?" the four knights were shocked and their chairs fell as they stood up.

"What is the meaning of this? How did he? Why? Where is the doctor? Where is Arthur!? " said Michael while the three others didn't make a sound.

"Calm down men and I will tell you what happened here when you were gone" said king Louis with seriousness.

After about twenty minutes, they talked and the knights knew of what happened in the kingdom in their absence. Michael slammed his fist onto the table and began blaming themselves for what happened.

"That Arthur, I will kill him! " said Michael furiously

"That is the reason why I called you here; to plan our defense against Arthur! " said the king who smiled at them with pride.

The four knights left the palace after planning. Michael went to the queen's grave, Joaquin went to the guard's watchtower in San Fernando, and the two knights—Samuel and Andres, went to the ruins of San Nicolas.

As the two other knights started their travel using horses, Samuel said to Andres that he will check around near the palace instead, so the two knights went separate ways.

As Samuel was checking around the palace, he saw some children playing cheerfully without a care in this world. He sat down to watch them and sat on the stairs of a bar called "Bar Del Palacio". When Samuel sat on the stairs, the door opened and his butt was hit so he tripped and hit his face on the ground. When Samuel tried to stand he turned his face to the one who opened the door.

Upon seeing the person, he thought to himself "What a gorgeous young lady!" and then he said "I– I love you! "

"Huh? What kind of dumb person are you? " said the lady who turns out to be Liz.
