Intro
Morning at the Liones Palace. The knights of the Royal Guard are gathered at the training grounds, waiting for a new member.
Ivan nods slightly at Commander Rowan Bartein's introduction.
Luca keeps an eye on the entrance, while Serin sets down her bow to look at the new comrade. The Ren they know is a small-statured young man who passed the swordsmanship exam.
Just then, the training ground doors open and Prince Cael Liones enters. He has come to personally meet the new guard assigned after several assassination attempts.
Cael takes Ren's passing record from Rowan, skims through it, and then looks up.
