As the commander of the knights spoke. Which is Sir Vincent de Van Guard. Jester foster father. "I'm sorry my Royal Highness but... After the battle... Sir Jester suddenly vanished from the thin air... Even if we search the whole place, we can't find a single trace of Sir jester... It seems like Sir Jester just vanished from the thin air... And left no trace of him…"

"I see… A death after a battle... And it seems that predator didn't even spare his remains... What a loss... I'm beginning to like that jester of a knight after all..." She said as a faint smile came from her as she remembered when she met him...

The kingdoms best knights were swear they eternal loyalty to the kingdom.

And one of the knights was Jester. Before he became a knight he encounter all the hardship. But with the help of sir Vincent he conquered it all.

But later on, on the Royal Highness Princess Elize 16th birthday. And all were dressed with their finest dresses except for one. The knight with no name. No name wears only his uniform as a knight. He didn't have time to buy such clothing's because he didn't like it. He dislike going to such a place like balls and gathering. Although his commander persuade him to wear a formal clothing for her highness 16th birthday. He refuses.

And that knight was none other than Jester.

The princess greeted warmly her guess "I was well pleased by your kind consideration on coming to my 16th birthday ceremony...

Then she sees one of her guest was not on his proper attire. She was pissed. "Except for one thing... You knight! What an insult... Coming here dressed like that... Have you lost your loyalty for the Kingdom of Reon... Come forward! I order you!!!" She said it loudly as all the guest fell silence.

The jester kneeled down and replied to her highness."I'm sorry for my rudeness, your highness... But I never thought that my clothes would be an emblem of my loyalty to the Kingdom of Reon and to its Royal Highness the King and its Royal Highness the Princess... If I had known I would have dressed with fancy dresses like the others..." 

All of the people who witnessed the act were in shock. "How could a knight speak like that to her highness... What an insult... But luckily the king doesn't take it as an insult... And managed to get his interest..."

Then the knights all stared at him. And they were all in shock as them. So all the knights spoke to him.

"Are you drunk or what? One of the knight said it Hysterically. As if that is was the end of the world.

"Do you still know what you're doing? Are you insane?" The other added.

"And to whom do you think you were speaking to? Do you want to die!" they tell terrified by his actions.

Then their commander spoke. "Apologize quickly! Apologize properly to her Highness, Now!!!' I'm sorry for his rudeness, your Royal Highness..." He was really felt disappointed to Jester's action.

Then finally the princess spoke. "State your name knight..." She said it menacingly.

Then Sir Vincent replied. "My Apologies, Your..."He was about to replied but was cut out in the middle of his talking.

Then the princess point toward the knight.

"You spoke... What's your name?" She said.

"My apologies for my rudeness, Your Majesty... But I have no given name... If your Highness will give me one then that will be my name from now on..." He replied.

"I see... Then I'll give you one then… Let's see... Since you're like a clown playing tricks and making jokes I'll call your Sir Jester... That will be your name from now on... Is that fine with you?" She said.

"It's an honor... Your majesty..." He replied.

(Back to the present)

In the chamber of the princess. A warm light filled the whole place. As the princess and the commander of the knights was left there standing and having a conversation.

"Vanished?... I guess I'll let this slip for now... But once you come back I'll make you pay for your rudeness... Jester of a knight..." The princess tell herself.

Then Sir Vincent spoke as he heard her highness. "I can see that the Royal Highness didn't believe that story... As I would expect from her Royal Highness..." 

"The same to you... Sir Jester is like a real son to you... I suppose you doubt it too..." She added.

"Yes... I refuse to believe it... as a father no... as his commander... I'm sure he would'nt die in such a place I believe in his strength as a soldier...

"I see... I guess were the same..."

"I believe in him so much but... If I've known that this would happened I should have watch him more...".

"You shouldn't thought of that... This is a war were talking... No family in here but warriors... A soldier that must die for the sake of his country..." .

"I'm fully aware of that your highness..." 

"And besides I know it is a crazy idea, but..."

"Find him... I don't care how or where you will find him... Get him back here... He got a lot of explaining to do... This is an order..." 

"Thank you your highness..." 

"You may leave now..." 

As the commander of the knights leave the princess chamber. The princess was left there. Wondering as she look at the window side of her chamber.

"Where in this world could you have gone?... Jester of a knight..." She tells herself.

( Back to Jester)

He tries to chase the young lady. And as he was getting closer toward the direction were the young lady run to. He was blinded by the light.

Then he sees different things like cars building and etc. While he was distracted. He didn't know that the young lady was far away now.

Then he began to feel drowsy. And his eye sight became distorted like there's a fog that was covering his sight. As the lady began to vanish in his sight.

 As he reached his limit's. Someone grab him by his shoulder. He can't hear or see him. As he lose his consciousness.

Then after that night he was now on a room. And all his wounds was full of bandages. Then he tried to stand but failed. Due to his severed injury. But as he tried and tried he succeed.

He walks to the window to see where he was. As he swayed the curtain that was covering all around him. He was welcomed by a nurse. And the nurse tries to called for his guardian.

And an old man came rushing. As Jester was still confused. He remembered that he was chasing a girl and when his on his limits someone grab his arm and from there he lost his consciousness. He ask questions to the old man Infront of him. 

 "May I ask who are you? And where I am?" Jester asked the old man politely.

"First of all, before I answered your questions... Please calmed down and take a rest... Your wounds might be worsen..." The old man asked politely.

Then Jester sees the worried face of the nurse that was taking care of him. 

So Jester followed the old man instructions and sit on the bedside as the old man seat near him. Then he ask for the nurse to leave the room. As the nurse leave the room. The old man start to speak and answered all his questions.

"Young man, firstly I will like to introduce my name... My name is Joe Summer... And your in the hospital so please be at rest... For you are safe here... The doctor's will help you heal your wounds..." He answered.

"I see... As I thought you are a good man... Thank you for taking care of me Mr. summer..." Jester replied.

"It's all fine, young man... Spare me all the formality and talk as much you want..."

"Then I'm really thankful for your help Mr. Joe... My name is Jester de vanguard... But you can call me Jester..." 

"Jester... Quite a unique name for a young man..."

"Yes... Indeed... But this name was given to me by a very important person..."

"I see... Then may I ask how did you get that wounds? That's no ordinary wounds? It's like you came from a war..."

Jester hesitated to speak . But then the old man continue to speak.

"It's alright if you don't answered me now... I won't force you to answer all my questions... Now I will take my leave... You should take a rest... And your belongings are on the cabinet near the bed..."

"Yes... Thank you for your kindness..."

Then Jester walk through the window. And see the outside. As he was been resolved that he was in a different dimension now.

As he saw the umbrella leaning towards the wall. He remembered the lady that gave him the umbrella.

"I guess I should stay here for a while... Will meet again soon my lady..."
