"Oh, you're probably talking about my friend Sículo. He's a little eccentric, but certainly very powerful." Said the voice that suddenly appeared behind Andrew's back.
Andrew turned around in surprise upon hearing the voice and spotted a man dressed in fancy, colorful clothes, with a hat adorned with exotic feathers and a sparkling suit. The man approached with a friendly smile.
"Sorry for the interruption, but it looks like you are having an interesting meeting here," said the newcomer. "I'm glad young Andrew brought me exactly where I wanted to come. As I figured when I saw you at the palace, you are clever."
Without hesitation, Andrew raised his sword in a defensive position. His eyes were fixed on the mysterious man. "You followed me... Who are you? What do you want with the princesses?"
