After awhile, Gunther and Jane finally went inside the palace grounds. Then they entered Jester's room and found Jester, lying about in his bed thinking about something. Gunther then talks to him, as Jane seems quite perturbed with her decision beforehand about choosing to let Jester join them in a very dangerous journey.
"Jester..uhh..what are you doing?" Gunther asked in confusion.
Jester, who caught by surprise as a result of Gunther's question, face Gunther and saw Jane as well.
"W-What are you doing in my room?" he said looking rather annoyed.
"We were hoping that tomorrow morning you can help us on our final test to become knights." Gunther told him as Jane still thinks about whether the decision she made was right.
"Final test? What's this all about?" The Jester asked in surprise.
"Well..you see" Jane finally spoke up to Jester. "We have to go into a cave and find a royal letter signifying that we were true knights. This final test requires us to have atleast one person from the castle to assist us. The others are too busy this time of the month." She explained to Jester. As he seemed to understand her point, he told them "Ahh..That time of the month is there? Hmm..Alright! I'll come. I don't exactly have time to be lying around with the king, who seemingly have other matters to handle that even I can't comprehend." Jester said.
"Ehh! What is happening right now anyway?" Gunther asked in utter stupidity as to wonder why everyone is so busy around this time of period.
"You don't know? This time of the year is where the time Kings and Queens from all over the world come into the kingdom and undergo a ceremonial battle arena for well trained squires to test out their wits in order to impress the other Kings involving the royal decree code of honor. And it actually happened only once every 15 years..I wasn't even here right now…and truth be told, it is beyond my comprehension to understand how the rules work or how the ceremonies actually take place..but one thing's for certain, the other knights and even the kings were extremely busy due to this, because they have to train all their knights from other countries and even preparing for the ceremony itself seems quite…hasty if I might say." Jester explained all this while Jane is excited again, forgetting all the worries that she had experienced beforehand.
"I see..no wonder I didn't know about it. But why did Sir Theodore and Sir Ivon didn't actually told us about this?" Jane asked in confusion.
"Well…they are probably busy with your knight training that the other knights have even more workload to handle." Jester thought that answer in response.
"Maggots!" Jane said her catchphrase…which is rather strange since she was enthusiastic, but not angry.
"But still... About that Final test you were talking about, it seems as if they're trying to get you two to finish your training while they're preparing for the Ceremonial Battle itself. So that they weren't wasting their time while you two are trying to pass this test aforementioned." Jester explained again to Jane while Gunther still looking very confused.
"Ask them yourselves later, maybe they might know something." Jester advised.
"Okay…but are you sure you can come with us? There might be danger lurking inside this "test" that we're going to face." Jane asked in desperation.
"Of course. As I said before, I shouldn't wander around the castle just because the king is very busy. And a little adventure might be a little bit interesting for me as well. So, yes..I'm in." Jester answered Jane with a slight smile on his face. Jane seemed to be relieved for a little bit.
Later after the conversation, Jane went out to Dragon while Gunther gather the necessary materials for tomorrow's big day.
"What's up Jane? Something the matter?" Dragon asked.
"Dragon..I have to tell you that I'm finally going to be a knight soon. " Jane told him.
"Really? Oh Joy! Then this should be exciting news..but what's wrong? Your face doesn't really ray those usual sunshine you've always had. Is it short-lives illness or something?" Dragon asked her.
"Well..It seems like we have to go into a cave beyond yours and find a certain letter pertaining the Royal Knights." Jane rolled out the details to Dragon. He looked like he was thinking about something.
"Beyond my cave? Hmm, well I did see that ghastly little mentor of yours fiddling around in there looking for something once in a while, but still, he left as soon as I saw him..I didn't give chase since I didn't want to bother him. Especially since short-lives are quite the shimmy type." Dragon explained as Jane thought that Sir Theodore seems to know about that cave more than we expect.
"So? If that's all, I think I'm gonna head out on patrol, wanna come with me?" Dragon asked Jane, who's still rather thoughtful.
"Sure." Jane answered, and they fly around the castle grounds looking for some suspicious people. Jane then saw the cave that Sir Theodore mentioned and she saw him in the shadows..but before she could tell Dragon, he disappeared. Quite odd as she thought, Dragon and Jane continue their patrol until nightfall. But she has to get to bed early for the big test she's going to undertake the next day of dawn. Jane, Dragon, Jester and Gunther all rested for the night to prepare for what lies inside the secret cave Sir Theodore mentioned to them.
What happens next? You'll just have to wait and see.
Comment: Ahh..fixed a few tenses and tweaked a few words..Review this edited one and see if I made any inconsistencies in the story. Note that this isn't fully perfected. But I'm gonna skip the details cause I fixed most of them. The ones that still have ... on them is cause I have made them act silent in sentences.
