Silence fell over the group.

"The king and the royal guard? What are they doing here?" Aveline asked in amazement.

"Yes, he's a great knight, and even among the great knights, he is one of the strongest. But it's not enough."

"Not enough?"

Maxime did not understand, and Aveline did not explain further.

Maxime then turned to Alaric.

"Do you have any information, professor?"

"Yes..."

Then Alaric glanced at Maxime.
