Ser Hughway stepped forward to give his formal military report regarding the deep danger zone, but before he could open his mouth to speak, a sharp metallic click echoed through the grand hall.

The heavy oak doors leading into the Audience Chamber swung wide open.

Every knight, baron, and commander turned their heads simultaneously toward the entrance to see four figures stepping past the threshold.

The moment Craig's dark golden eyes fell upon the incoming group, his face lit up and a gentle, satisfied smile appeared on his lips.

Beside the throne, Ser Hughway let out a soft, knowing sigh. Observing his liege's pleased expression, the veteran Guardian Knight shifted his gaze to inspect the newcomers.

The reason for Craig's smile was simple: two of the four people who had just entered the hall were Damian Blacksun and his younger sister, Annie Blacksun.
