(The King’s castle. King James Argon sits on his throne. For some reason, he looks depressed.)
MINISTER
His majesty looks so depressed.
MINISTER 2
Could it be that about the future that he saw about the Demon King returning back?
MINISTER 3
That’s impossible. The Demon King was sealed away by the Hero, 500 years ago. There’s no way the Demon King would return back to his realm.
JAMES
Then explain as to why the Dragons in the continent have suddenly disappeared. Where did they all go? And also the Dark mages have made their moves.
(Leonard brings in Mingcheng and Tessa.)
LEONARD
Brother, I brought in the real Fire Dragon slayer and his companion.
MINISTER 1
The new fire dragon slayer is that kid.
MINISTER 2
Are you sure about that Sir, Leonard?
JAMES
He is the true fire dragon slayer. I could tell by looking at him even without using my all seeing eye.
MINGCHENG
I’m still offended by people calling me a kid.
TESSA
Maybe it’s because of your height.
JAMES
What’s your name Dragon slayer?
MINGCHENG
My name is Mingcheng.
JAMES
Do you know the reason as to why Ydrassil disappeared?
MINGCHENG
No, when I woke up, he was already gone.
JAMES
I see. Then do you know about the prophecy about the demon king returning.
MINGCHENG
I don’t know what you’re talking about. And is the demon king just a character in the fairy tale.
MINISTER 1
Absolute nonsense. Are you saying that His Majesty’s prophecy is nothing but a fairy tale?
MINGCHENG
Yes.
(The knights point their swords at both Mingcheng and Tessa.)
TESSA
You had to say that.
JAMES
Hahahahahahaha! I hope that’s actually true. I mean we don’t want the Kingdom to go to ruins, do we? And put the spears away, we don’t want anger the dragon in him.
(The knights put away their spears.)
LEONARD
I thought you ministers were supposed to be wise. I never thought that you might sort to such drastic measures as to point spears to the Fire Dragon slayer. And not to mention for deceiving the entire Kingdom by putting a false Dragon slayer. If the Dark mages were to attack the Kingdom, we would have been done for.
DRAKE
Holy knights are strong enough to fight the Dark mages.
MINISTERS
…
MINGCHENG
What are you talking about? I don’t get anything.
JAMES
Let me explain, there’s a dark cult that worships the Demon King as their God. And the practice Black magic. Those kind of mages we call them the Dark Mages. Some of our Holy Knights returned back saying that they’re holding some kind of ritual that could break the seal.
(Mingcheng’s head feels like it’s going to explode.)
MINGCHENG
Too much information will make my brain explode.
TESSA
It seems like he can’t take in that much information.
(She holds Mingcheng before he falls down due to dizziness.)
LEONARD
Hahahahaha! Looks like we have an interesting Fire Dragon Slayer today.
MINGCHENG
Hey, Long beard. You look strong.
DRAKE
Of course, he’s strong. He’s the Grandmaster of the Holy Knights.
MINGCHENG
I wanna fight you. You interrupted by signature move earlier.
LEONARD
You mean your dragon’s breath.
MINGCHENG
Yeah.
JAMES
This might be a good opportunity for testing out the current Dragon slayer.
LEONARD
Sure, I was also thinking of the same thing. Let’s go out and have this duel.
MINGCHENG
Sure. This should be fun.
(Outside Mingcheng and Leonard face each other.)
KNIGHT 1
Do you know who’s gonna win?
KNIGHT 2
I’ll put my bets on the Sir Leonard.
KNIGHT 3
Same here.
HARRY
Hey, what’s going on here?
KNIGHT 1
Oh, Sir Leonard is having a duel with the Dragon slayer.
HARRY
I know that shorty. I’ve met him at the tavern. Ehhhh! You’re telling him that all this time he was the fire dragon slayer.
KNIGHTS
Took you long enough to figure that out!
(At the top floor, a blonde haired woman watches fight.)
BLONDE HAIRED WOMAN
