Walking towards the western district Gilthunder remembered as much as he could about Griamore. He had never been that close to his cousin and usually laughed at how Princess Veronica treated him. He was a very submissive person who cried a lot. He was similar to his mother, a kind soul, who simply wanted to be happy. When confronted with a challenge he would run away or curl up into a ball and cry. He was… not the bravest of people. Gil also remembered that Griamore was incredibly bad a sword fights, never managing to beat Gil once. He also thought of his ability "Wall" as being fairly boring, nevertheless he had to push that aside and make amends with his cousin.
He arrived at the tower, to which Dreyfus had directed him, only to find Griamore sobbing on one of the steps. He walking over to his teary-eyed cousin, but, before he could ask why he was sobbing Griamore let out a hell bent screech.
Griamore: "WAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHH!"
Gil: "Could you please not do that when I'm so close to you! Jeez, I thought I was going to go deaf."
Griamore: *sniff* *sob* "Sorry, Gil… it's just that… princess… Veronica… missing…" *sob* *sniff*
Gil: "Yeah, I know I'm looking for people to help me find her and Elizabeth… do you want to help me?"
Griamore: "What good am I to you?" *sniff* "I'd just get in your way or get caught…" *sob*
Gil: "Aren't you a knight in-training of Liones? You should honour that title and stand up for what is right. We might be kids, but, we still have duties to perform… so please come with me and together we will find the princesses." He stated, however, inner Gil was frustrated with how spineless his cousin was.
Griamore: "Really?" *sniff*
Gil: "Really!" he said, lowering his hand down to Griamore, whose face had brightened up after hearing his cousin's kind words.
Griamore: "Then… together we will find Princess Veronica!" he yelled
Gil: "Princess Elizabeth is also missing, you know." he corrected
Griamore: "WHHHHHHHHHHHHHHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAATTTTTTTTTTTT!"
Gil quickly began regretting his decision of bringing Griamore along, a power level of 150 and a cowardly attitude were not going to help him out much. However, he still needed to find other people willing to help him. So he decided to look at the barracks training grounds where all the knight in-training were training and potentially some of the holy knights that were off duty might help as well.
In a ravine, outside of the kingdom:
Two girls lay on the bottom of a large ravine. The ravine was not deep enough for a fatal fall; however, it was steep enough so that the girls could not get out. The older of the two girls had broken her ankle and the younger one was crying over her, in an attempt to wake her up. These two girls were the missing princesses of Liones and they were trapped and running out of energy quickly.
