The sun had risen over the horizon, sharing its brilliance to the people of Briton. The blue sky was slowly being painted by the clumps of white cotton, revealing a sight worthy of remembrance. The day everyone had been waiting for, the day of the Tournament had finally come. At the moment, Emery and the other 24 squires from Lioness Kingdom had gathered in a massive arena. It was a rectangular green field, over 600 feet in length and 200 feet in width. Its two sides were occupied by extensive…

Upon hearing the frantic shouts of the old man, the two golden knights stationed there went on full alert, their hands not even leaving the sword scabbards tied around their waist. "Yvain, you stay here!" Sir Gawain, the golden knight of Logress Kingdom, said before leaving him to go to the place pointed by the old man. Unconsciously, Arthur stepped in front of the princess in an attempt to shield her from any further trouble. Sir Gawain reached the shaded area and looked around, trying to find…

In Emery's mind, the Knight Tournament was a secondary matter. His priority was always about Morgana and all the matters related to her. The death of Sir Badgemagus, the capture of Morgana… All of this had some sort of connection to the Knights of Divine Order. Hence, as soon as he saw the princess leaving the hall with the knights from the Logress Kingdom, Emery knew he had to follow them. Emery quickly sneaked through the sea of people and made his way outside the hall. When no one was…

The history of the Knights of Divine Order could be traced to more than a thousand years ago. Its existence was as old as the 7 kingdoms themselves. For many generations, the Order had been the guardian of the 7 kingdoms. Every year, a hundred of the Briton talented fighters would receive their title as proof of membership to the order. The member would then receive access to training, facilities and, most importantly, honor. The main purpose of the Order was to consolidate the voices between the…

The place they were visiting was the grand hall of the knight order. The place was already jam-packed with people with various different styles and colors of attire. From the insignia and symbols they bear, it could easily be assumed they were the representatives from other kingdoms. Their arrival was followed with the sound of trumpets and a loud introduction. Thanks to that, hundreds of eyes all focused towards them. The beautiful princess led the group with confidence, each step she took…

On the fourth day of their journey, the group finally entered the border of the Logress Kingdom. The unfamiliar yet alluring sight of the surroundings brought a feel of marvel within Emery, making him truly appreciate the beauty of Mother Earth. Crossing through dozens of villages and several towns, Emery could clearly see the vicissitude of life, as people went about their day doing their activities. During this trip that spanned over two kingdoms, Emery compared every village they passed through…

"The princess told you to stop!" the golden knight added, with an even louder voice. Emery finally stopped in his steps when he heard that. He turned around, looked at the princess for a moment and bowed his head while saying, "Anything else that I can do for you, my Royal Highness?" Even though his tone was normal, after seeing him being ignorant earlier and hearing him saying things like this, the princess was smart enough to tell that Emery was being sarcastic. But unexpectedly, instead of being…

A figure was seen riding a horse entering the Lioness Palace. A few days ago, the castle courtyard was packed to the brim, both participants and spectators alike. Now, instead, the place was filled with dozens of knights all poised and ready for a task. They were all busy preparing for a journey to the Logress Kingdom capital, the city of Camelot. Emery looked around and saw a corner where the group of squires selected for the tournament had gathered. Among them, he could spot Lucas and Mark…

"Family...? What do you mean by that?" The fat man stopped his eating streak and proceeded to look at Emery in a serious manner. "It's exactly what it implies, Lanzelot. We are all under one family, the family of the Lioness Kingdom, aren't we?" "Yes, Lord. Of course we are." Emery replied with an unsure tone. Until this moment, Emery still had a hard time understanding what the fat noble was implying. Fantumar put on a dejected expression and said, "I am saddened to see the king only offers…

The prestigious yearly Tournament would be held next week in the capital of Logress Kingdom, the place where the royal family resided, Camelot City. Normally, it would take three to four days of traveling by horse to reach the place from Lionarch City. Therefore, all the selected squires would leave and head together with the kingdom's entourage in two days. The other squires took the 2 days time available for them to train, polishing and perfecting any deficiency they noticed in their swordsmanship…
