The Azure Moon knights prepared dinner over an open fire, and the entire party was invited to eat within King Shen's camp, while Captain Lancelot returned to his own command pavilion.
The meal consisted of only a single dish, a thick, hearty meat stew, but it tasted so incredible that absolutely no one asked for anything else.
King Shen sat near the fire and spoke to the paladin, gratitude lacing his tired voice. "I cannot thank you enough for coming here to assist me, Sir Gideon. I was genuinely losing my mind. I had no idea what to do. I have to return to the kingdom soon for Syra's wedding, but I cannot leave without my son."
Yue paused with her wooden spoon halfway to her mouth. "The wedding has already happened, Your Majesty."
