After returning to the palace, I make my way straight to old man Duke's chamber to report the outcome of my meeting with Arthur. Old man Duke looks up from his desk as I enter, his eyes showing a mix of curiosity and expectation.
"Well, Jake, what news do you bring?" he asks, his voice reverberating in the room.
"I've spoken to Arthur, and he has agreed to follow me to the Celestial Monkey race planet," I reply.
Old man Duke raises his eyebrows, surprised by the unexpected turn of events. However, his attention quickly shifts to the figure standing beside me.
"And who is this?" he asks, his eyes keenly studying the presence next to me.
"This is Excalibur," I respond, introducing the ancient spirit weapon.
Old man Duke's eyes widen in shock, unable to believe his eyes. The legends of Excalibur have been passed down through generations, and to see her standing before him is undoubtedly astonishing.
