บท 317: Across the Sea

Lionarch City

The yearly knights' initiation tournament would actually be held in the Logress Kingdom territory, but the rules stated that every squire who wanted to be knighted had to be in service of one of the seven kingdoms and join the tournament under their recommendation.

Hence, before they could participate, every squire would need to receive a proper invitation letter from a king of one of the kingdoms. 

Therefore the plan was, impress the king, receive the letter, go to the Logress for the tournament, win it while finding the sword and the girl during the process. 

It sounded easy enough on paper at least.

Tomorrow, all the squires would gather in the Lionarch Castle's courtyard to be presented before the king for assessment. Since he didn't have anything to do for today, Emery decided to kill some time by visiting the city.
