A Deal

"Mother, this man is the one who killed Sir Afton and Sir Rendi!"

Upon hearing this, the four golden Cantiaci knights were taken aback. Unconsciously, they stepped back and among them was their senior, Sir Malcolm.

"Is it true?!" He exclaimed, genuinely shocked. 

Apparently, these golden knights had maintained rather good relationships with one another, hence the reason why they became quickly agitated at the moment. They grasped the hilts of the swords that were resting on the side of their hips. 

The queen acknowledged this motion, though, so she shot them a glare that immediately stopped them in their tracks. 

The queen then shifted her glance towards Fantumar. She then asked, 

"How did the princess manage to escape? I thought they were fully surrounded."
