Richard was sitting at one of the many village inns he encountered during his wandering. He sat with a glass of mead as he took a break from his trek in the hope of spotting anyone who recognised him and who would gladly help him reclaim what was his.
Faldir was sitting at a table in the inn. He looked at man who was drinking a glass of mead. He had seen him before but he couldn't remember where.
After finishing the mead with no one approaching he decided to get ready to leave. When he got up he picked up his shield which had the royal symbol on it. Removing his helmet he wiped some sweat off his brow before putting it back on.
As Faldir noticed the royal symbol on the sheild he got up from table and runned over to the man. "Do you want to die?" he asked. "You can't have the royal symbol on your sheild"
"Why cant I. I am the rightful ruler of the kingdom especially after the death of my parents. If you wish to join me in defeating him then you are more than welcome too."
"you cant because the knight have spies everywhere" Faldir said. "do you really think that nobody would notice that you have the royal symbol on your shield?"
"We'll I havent been travelling alone and I have come across his goons. They were not a match for me or my companion."
Hannes walked into the inn. "My liege. The knight's forces are coming into this town to levy taxes. It is best that we leave before they spot us." He pointed the prince in the direction of the approaching army, and passed him a telescope.
He looked through the telescope and passed it back. "The we leave through the back. You, Elven fellow, would you care to join us in our quest. For we must make haste."
"My liege, you can't be serious! Our rations are short enough as it is. If we were to take him in, we'd starve, not to mention increasing our chances of detection!"
