At the Kingdom Averion Border
Alaric's army finally reached the border. Upon their arrival, they saw the encampment set up by the royal knights of Kingdom Eldara.
"We're finally here!" Princess Thalia murmured as she stepped down from the carriage.
Avan, the Captain of Royal Guards, immediately approached and greeted them. He courtly bowed his head in front of Thalia.
"Your Highness! I'm glad to see you safe."
Thalia smiled broadly, pulling Alaric to her side. "Yes, Avan. I'm safe because of this person. This is General Alaric Stormholt. My hero. My brother should reward him properly!"
Avan just smiled awkwardly at the mention of Crown Prince Cassian. Then he greeted Alaric with a nod, extending his hand for a handshake.
"It's my pleasure to meet General Stormholt. I've heard a lot of things about your achievements. You are a mighty warrior. The Hero of Kingdom Averion." Avan praised Alaric, trying to get on his good side. "Thank you for saving our princess."
