Since early this morning the princesses Elizabeth and Veronica had been missing and countless groups of knights were sent by the king to scour Liones for any trace of his daughters. A small boy, close to ten years old, overheard the dilemma and decided he too would search for the princesses. His name was Gilthunder, son of the great holy knight Zaratras, and was regarded as a clever boy who excelled at being a knight in-training. However, with a power level of 297 he could only do so much by himself, knowing this he was forced to find a group of individuals willing enough to help him find the missing princesses. Although, his motives seemed pure, he secretly believed this would score him more points with the King's eldest daughter, Margaret. With that thought in mind, a smile appeared on his face and his cheeks grew bright red. He had always liked Margaret and had asked Meliodas, the captain of the seven deadly sins, to teach him about woman, which led to varied results. Nonetheless he was prepared to face this trial and then his crush. He walked around the castle searching for knights interested in helping him. He found Threader and Hugo, the king's bodyguards and believed they would help him out.

Gil: "Hey Threader, I want to help too, but… by myself I'm not sure I can do it. So please… could you come with me to find the princesses"

Threader: "No can do Gilthunder, I must remain here and protect the king. I am always prepared for trouble and Hugo over there will give you the same answer as I, we cannot leave the King's side."

Gil: "That's a bummer… do you know of anyone that could help me?"

Threader: "Some of the recruit bodyguards might help you, their names are: Jillian, Simon and Weinhedit."

Gil: "Thanks Threader!"

Gilthunder rushed towards the training ground, as Threader looked onwards with glee. He knew the boy's reasons for the mission and found his actions spoke volumes about how much he liked Margaret. Upon clearing his head, he prepared himself for any threat, looked out of the window and saw Gil talking to the recruits. They all told him they were busy training and needed to remain in the kingdom. Gil sighed and kept searching for other people he could potentially ask. He found Dreyfus and Hendrickson, at the bottom of a hill, planning where they would search next. He approached both the knights and with the utmost respect asked them about their plans and if they could help him out. Gilthunder needed to know if the seven deadly sins were in the kingdom and Dreyfus was someone who would know the answer to that.

Gil: "Uncle Dreyfus, Hendrickson… do you know if the seven deadly sins are in the kingdom?"

Hendy: "I believe that most of them went on a mission recently to protect one of the northern kingdoms. They will be gone for at least another six hours. Although, there are two sins currently in the kingdom: the Goat's sin of lust, Gowther, and… one of the others.

Gil: "Are you referring to the Lion's sin of Pride, Escanor?" Gilthunder asked, questioning Hendrickson's sudden change of tone.

Hendy: "Yes… I was… but, it would be best not to ask him for help." He continued seeming scared at the thought.

Gil: "Okay… fine, I guess I'll look for someone else to help me find the princesses." He said, disappointed. Dreyfus patted him on the shoulder and suggested someone to help him.

Dreyfus: "You remind me of your father when we were kids. If you want somebody to help you, then maybe you should ask your cousin, Griamor. He too has been looking for the princesses, specifically Veronica, and he would appreciate the help. You know he is a bit of a cry baby.

Gil: "Thanks uncle Dreyfus! I'll go look for him now." Said Gilthunder with a smile on his face, he finally had someone to help him out.

He was halfway up the grassy hill when he realized he had forgotten to ask where Griamore was. He tripped and rolled down the hill, back towards the two knights. Hendrickson chuckled as Gilthunder got to his feet. A fallen tree branch had been lodged in his hair and his clothes were a mess.

Gil: "I forgot to ask… where is Griamore?"

Dreyfus *laughing* "He is near Merlin's research tower, in the western part of the kingdom."

Gil nervously laughed, apologized and thanked his uncle and Hendrickson and this time successfully made his way up the hill.
