Riku came back to the King's Palace not because he asked him to do so, it was because Commander Alexandra begged him.
Meanwhile, Alexandra and Riku entered the mansion. He saw the numerous guards, King Silvestre, and the princess was looking at him with their welcoming eyes.
As the conversation goes on. Suddenly, Riku asked the king for a favor which was to withdraw all the guards in the area even the magical knight Chris.
"You... What did you say?" Chris had a soft outward appearance, but he can attack whenever he wanted. Aside from that, King Silvestre scolded him because of Riku.
Riku frowned his brows, looking at the man who was going to attack him. At this point, he immediately cast his [Fire claw] skill to defend himself.
Clang!
Just like that, Chris was already swinging his keen sword. Luckily, Riku was able to block his attack and had the advantage in this fight as Chris was bothered by the tremendous fire given by Riku's arms.
