The kings' swords

We only encountered a few knights, which Fabian got rid of easily. I was almost in awe of his skills, but the situation didn't allow me to. 

"It's been a while, Your Grace. Our people had made a route for you." Noah uttered as soon as we met with him at the gates of the east wing. 

"It has been, Noah. What a surprise that you're also part of this." I pursed my lips, recalling the time I spent in Whistlebird in the past. Although I barely saw him from afar, I was acquainted with his father, Anton, and brother, Arthur — they're dead now. Good for them.

"How is the situation inside?" asked Noah to Fabian, and the latter cast me a glance. 

"His Grace will meet us at the border." Fabian kept his answer short. "About the situation outside?"

"Apparently, the awakening had begun as well. It will be more troublesome if you don't reach the border until its completion. The king can just send them to you to bring Her Grace back as their first mission."
