The Knights' Quest: An Embarkment at Sunset

Maximus returned to his Chamber with a playful smirk on his lips.

He lay down on his bed. "Finally," he whispered.

The sound of footsteps approaching made him fall silent as he noticed Isabel's presence, passing by his chamber.

He called out to her, and she made her way into his chamber.

Maximus checked for any intruders before turning his attention back to Isabel.

"Why do you call for me, especially at sunrise, love? You always mention the risks when I do," Isabel said.

"I couldn't contain my joy. I thought fate was against us. After that foolish niece of mine returned, I was proven wrong," Maximus said with a smirk, lying down, his hands resting on his bed as he sighed in relief.

"I'm sure you must have heard what happened last night while you were busy dozing off."

"Yes, about the demon intruding the palace," Isabel said.
