Whilst touring 'the shimmering lake', Damian and the two Aquilan princesses, Gini and Delia had come across the silver-haired young man who confronted Damian at the banquet the night before.
Apparently, he was named Florence. And he was enraged at the sight of Damian fratenising with the princesses in public after his stern warning.
Without a word, Florence walked past Delia, to stand right in Damian's face; his steps heavy, his fists tightly clenched.
He spoke seriously.
"You dishonour me in public. I warned you to stay away from her. She's mine. I won her hand fair and square.
"Now, we will settle this, once and for all." He took a step backwards and instantly drew his sword out of its glamorous sheath, battle ready.
"Draw your sword!"
