After a grueling march of over 10 hours, King Cain and his men finally reached the camp where Lord Williams and his soldiers awaited their arrival, ensuring the king's safe passage. As the king dismounted his horse, Lord Williams knelt before him, followed by his men, demonstrating their utmost respect and loyalty.
Observing the scene before him, King Cain couldn't help but notice that some of the commanders he had entrusted to Lord Williams were conspicuously absent. Perplexed by their absence, the king scanned the camp, hoping to catch a glimpse of their familiar faces, but they were nowhere to be found.
Expressing his confusion, Cain voiced his thoughts, "I expected all those stationed at this camp to come and greet me upon my arrival. Where are Lord Francis, Lord Thomas, and the others? Could they be at another camp?" The king's inquiry left Lord Williams and his men bewildered, exchanging uncertain glances, as they too wondered about the missing commanders.
