When they both made it down to the grand hall, they stopped, and gasped at the sight of the large tables. The king, his court, and Chunhua were already there. Soon King Charles noticed them and waved for them to come on over.
"Ah, our guests have arrived. Please come and sit over here and sit with me!" he requested.
As soon as the two came up, they noticed a man sitting next to the king.
"Ladies, I would like for you to meet Sir Reginald of Cranston. He is one of my finest knights. He will be your protector on your journey. Sir Reginald, this is Annchi and Lanying." introduced the king.
The man was thirty-seven years old. He had a noble brow with black hair and deep blue eyes. His mustache curled at the tips and he wore shiny armor. When the king introduced him, he stood up and bowed. Both Annchi and Lanying became amazed on how tall he was. He must had been at least six feet and five inches. Despite their shock, Annchi and Lanying still managed to curtsey.
"It would be an honor to help you on your quest." the knight said finally before sitting down.
"Please sit down." requested the king.
As the girls sat down, Lanying asked, "Your majesty, I was wondering how you knew what size clothes I wore."
"Funny you should ask that Lanying. Just as soon as you two left, Yinglong appeared and asked if he could do something to your rooms. I said if he could do it before you two got there, he could. He suddenly vanished and returned a few moments later, thanked me, and then left. So Yinglong must have given you both clothes for you to wear."
While Lanying, King Charles, and Sir Reginald talked, Annchi looked at Chunhua, who was looking depressed.
Finally, Annchi got the urge to ask, "Are you all right, your highness?"
Chunhua looked at her and said, "No. It's so unfair. Just because I'm a princess doesn't mean I can't join you on your quest."
By looking into her eyes, Annchi could tell that Chunhua really wanted to go.
"Don't worry. I'm sure things will work out." Annchi said with a grin.
Chunhua looked up and returned her grin.
Soon the food was brought out. Annchi and Lanying had never seen so much food in their lives. Some of the food they never even heard of. After they ate, the king called for some entertainment. A jester came out and told them of the legend of the last unicorn.
