484 There's one more thing

Compared to the fierce battle that took place last time in Salisbury, there doesn't seem to be any significant change in Gawain.

He is still as tall, still fully armored, the only difference being that he's not holding a greatsword burning with flames like last time. Instead, he has sheathed his sword, his stance no longer aggressive.

Surprised by the unexpected visitor, Reiger couldn't help but exclaim,

"What brings you here?"

When Reiger asked this, there was no hostility in his voice, just pure puzzlement.

Gawain, however, seemed to think differently.

"This is the royal palace, the chambers of His Majesty. We Elf Knights are permitted to come and go as we please here. What's the problem with me being here?" Gawain, standing taller than Reiger, looked down at him from above. Though not overtly dominating, his stance was somewhat imposing as he said, "Or are you afraid to let someone you've once fought as an enemy into your room? You shouldn't be so narrow-minded, right?"
