Morning came and the Lioness entourage was busy preparing for their return. The estate lent to them by the Order was rowdy with shouts, laughter and conversations. Some talked about their victory, some joked about small things to lighten the mood and others expressed regret over their failure. The knights were ready on top of their horses, while the squires and former squires all stood in front of the estate, waiting for their princess to come, so the journey could start. Emery, on the other hand,…

Emery walked through the glowing cave towards the sword. With each step, he could feel his heart pound wildly. The center of the cave was brighter than the already rather bright walls, it felt like looking at a small star. He stood just a few steps away from the legendary sword, the divine sword Excalibur. According to the story passed down by the order, the sword has been stuck inside the glowing void-colored stone for more than 1000 years. Give or take, that was around 20 generations ago. The…

Emery still baffled by the scene unfolding in front of him. This raised the question, which item gave the golden knights their strength? Was it the sword, or was it the divine water? The knight commander turned to look at the ten new silver knights and said. "The things you see today are part of the most guarded secrets of the order. Here, you stand as a witness to the things this order can provide for the sake of this realm's safety. Perhaps one day, with enough merit under your belt, this power…

Getting the title of 'Silver Knight' was all about skill. But, the same couldn't be said about getting the 'Golden Knight' title. Being a golden knight was not all about strength. Those who want to become a golden knight must be a silver knight first. Afterwards, they have to obtain as many achievements as possible. The more merit you have, the more you would be considered for the position. Then, comes the hardest part, that was, to be recommended by a knight commander and gain the approval of all five…

The knight commanders led the group through the halls, passing the knight order compound before heading to a unique building with a structure similar to a fort. The place was deep within the kingdom's territory and Emery recognized the place, as this was the same place Emery sneaked out to from before. Emery and the other nine knights walked inside. They stopped in a huge room together with two dozen gold knights along with the knight commanders. The room was sparse aside from chairs and banners adorned…

The next day, all participants were called to the great assembly hall, the same place they were asked to wait in before the start of the tournament. No matter whether they won or lost, all were invited to celebrate. All 100 participating squires were seated in the front area, right in front of the three knight commanders and the seven envoys from each kingdom. Among the squires, Emery was seated in the best position. However, marring this joyous occasion was one figure seated in the front.…

The five days tournament had finally ended. There was still one last day of celebration, where all the squires would be called to witness the winners get their awards. But that would be held in the Divine Order hall tomorrow, and no one aside from Divine Order knights and the squires would be invited there. Emery wiped the sweat off his brow and walked out of the arena together with the knighted Lioness squires. Right after crossing the gates, he saw crowds had formed all around the place. Most of…

This was the final day of the Divine Order Tournament. Out of the 240 knights competing yesterday, only 40 remained while the rest had been stomped away. 40 knights from all seven kingdoms were going to compete for the silver title. Unfortunately, among the 12 young Lioness knights, only Emery and Abe managed to reach this far. However, considering how only a total of 8 young squires managed to retain their spot in the tournament, this was quite the achievement for the Lioness Kingdom, the kingdom…

The first three days of the tournament were made for the squire's advancement to become a knight; during this period, finally, from 300 squires, 100 had successfully chosen to be knighted. But the tournament has not yet ended, as now the next two days would become the most anticipated part of the tournament. These two days will be the part where the divine order would choose 10 knights to be given the silver title. But, the participants weren't going to be just the 100 squires, it was open for all…

The sonorous sounds of trumpets that were superseded by the boisterous applause from the audience marked the start of close combat competition of the Knight Tournament. Within no time, the first eight pairs of squires were called upon to their position. Their appearance was welcomed by another round of applause. Afterwards, the aide continued by announcing the rules of the competition, which were very simple. The squires would be fighting against each other, until one of them yielded or was unable to…
