Upon crossing the gates, Grand Duke Liam halted his steps and turned his head to the side to look at the elegant old man. With a smile, he said "It's good to see that the Queen has already put several precautions in place". He then turned his head forward and added, "One would almost think she was bluffing, but it seems that isn't the case". He continued forward, with a steady pace.

Knight Boris, with a fluid grace that belied his years, sheathed his sword, which had somehow returned to the length of a normal sword and bowed. "When the meeting is over, I would please like to know your name?".

The elegant old man nodded seriously. "Of course, Knight Boris. Although, I must say that among others, I certainly wasn't expecting this from you ".

Knight Boris straightened his back with a slight smile on his lips. "I understand, however, you shouldn't be surprised because I am the only one left to lead my people". He then crossed the gates and walked into the castle.
