Cesidia winces, then she huffs. “Then I guess we’re flying.”

"So I guess you want to keep fighting?" He said as he began to circle. His sword outstretched, pointing at Quincy. "You don't have to act all macho. The Princess is inside. I'll tell her you went down honourably."

Quincy chuckles " I enjoy a nice spar so this is fun to me and all this talk about me liking the princess has me wondering if you are just expressing pushed down feelings buddy"

Jak arrives at the castle and meets the guards at the front gate. He tells the guards that he requests an audience with the princess.

"Maybe, why not. Nothing wrong with wanting the Princess, only when it starts affecting your work," He said. "Interrupting, presumably, one of the last Knight's Captains is a sure-fire way to end up on scrub duty." He spn the sword in his hand, taking a step back.

" good thing I'm done have to worry about that " he says and lunges at him

Deo sidestepped the lunge. Turning it into a spin, he lashed out with his sword. While keeping the momentum to move away.

Quincy jumps back barely dodging

"Fine, nevermind then. I guess I'll leave." he lied, tired of waiting to be let in. He started to leave, but as soon as he was out of sight, he said a prayer to his goddess and summoned a pack of wolves. He sent the wolves as a distraction, then moved to sneak into the castle. Since all the guards and soldiers were distracted by their task to drive the wolves back, Jak easily snuck past all of them. He even managed to move past Deo and Quincy who seems preoccupied with their own heated debate. Jak moves into the castle to find Princess Petunia.

The princess was meeting her war council again, or what was left of it anyway. That was when she got that message. She blinked and sighed.
"Very well."
The man would be allowed inside the castle.

Already inside, Jak reveals himself. "Hi. My name is... Damn! I forgot. I haven't used it in over 6 thousand days. Anyway, I have come to lend my help in your battle against the goblins. They pose a threat to Huntokar's chosen, so it is my duty to destroy them. I can tell you don't know who Huntokar is. She is an old god that you people have forgotten centuries ago. But she has spoken to me and has given me a righteous mission to protect and exalt her those that she has deemed truly good." Jak preached.

With the immediate goblin threat contained for now, Elizabeth and Revir make their way over to watch the fight between Deo and Quincy. the medic seems to be holding their own, but the might and sheer difference in experience possessed by this knight seems to be the deciding factor. Everything seems to be going according to Deo's plan that he had presumably crafted before the actual fight had even begun. If one were paying attention to this pair, they would see that they were trying very hard to contain their excitement over this duel, and who they clearly believed would be the victor.

"This is quite the entertaining bout. Wouldn't you agree, Revir?"

"Why, yes milady, I do believe you're right about that. In fact, if I might have your permission, I would like to put my own skills to the test against this knightly fellow."

"That's funny. I was about to ask the very same thing of you. Of course, in the end, that would be his choice to make. I think fighting alongside him would make for a good lesson in how to better survive out there, and be of better use to my people. With that being said, it appears this fight may be drawing to an end soon. Shall we see it through?"

"If that is what you wish, milady, then I have no objections."

@StarfishPrime73
The princess blinked. She did not know what to think. She did not really know what to say either.
"I...I am not sure."
She frowned and sighed.
"...very well."

He smiles, and wraps his arms around her waist, pressing her to his chest. "Welp, let's go."

Cesidia gasps as her face reddens, then she puts some distance between them by crossing her arms.

He rolls his eyes. "How many time do I have to say it? I'm not into mortals. You could be bare as the day you were born and I wouldn't care." He takes off, flying towards the back of the goblin army.

Cesidia raises an eyebrow. “You’ve never said it.” She clenches her jaw. “And it’s not that I thought you were into me, I just don’t like being too close to new men.”

"Well, unless you want to walk, you don't have a choice."

Cesidia growls softly. “I’m fine, let’s go.”

He laughs, deep and echoing, and keeps flying.
