Eleanor decided to investigate the matter that the advisor was hiding. She went and question the guards but they were scared of the advisor. None of them would talk. It took her a whole day and she was starting to lose hope, then she met with the prison guard.

(Eleanor) - Greetings!

(Guard) - Greetings!

(Eleanor) - Have you heard about today's commotion?

(Guard) - Some people tried to get into the capital to meet the king but at the advisor's orders, they were arrested.

(Eleanor) - They are in prison now?

(Guard) - Yes.

(Eleanor) - May I see them?

(Guard) - Do as you wish, one of them could not stop barging about that he knows the king.

(Guard) - Maybe you can shut him up.

*Step*

*Step*

When Eleanor saw Olaf's face she was shocked. She could not believe the advisor will do such a thing. But if he would keep him away from the king he would have kept his power.

(Eleanor) - Olaf?

(Olaf) - Eleanor, finally a friendly face.

(Olaf) - What happened with the king?

(Eleanor) - He fell ill about 6 months ago.

(Olaf) - That explains why the advisor took his place.

(Eleanor) - What brings you back unannounced?

(Olaf) - I found the book.

(Eleanor) - That book?

(Olaf) - Yes.

(Eleanor) - Where?

(Olaf) - You will not believe it.

(Olaf) - There was a wild rock elemental in a forest a few days South of here.

(Eleanor) - Elemental? That must have been a hard fight.

(Olaf) - It would have been if not for this young lad.

*Olaf pointed to Ryuji*

*Chuckles*

(Eleanor) - What did he do? Cheer you guys up?

(Kenta) - He has unknown powers.

(Eleanor) - Unknown powers you say?

(Olaf) - That is the second reason why we came back to the capital. We need to talk with the Wanderer.

(Eleanor) - He was away on some assignment from the advisor. We don't know when he will be back.

(Olaf) - First, we need to get out of here.

(Eleanor) - Do you still have that?

(Olaf) - Oh... I almost forgot about that.

(Eleanor) - Old man.

(Sol) - What is she talking about?

*Pull out a royal crest*

(Kenta) - You have that and we are still stuck in this prison?

(Ryuji) - What is that?

(Olaf) - This is a royal crest, this signifies that you were recognized by the king for your achievements.

(Eleanor) - Only a few people are lucky to have one, and Olaf was probably the first one to get it.

(Olaf) - It was made at the first peace treaty. And ever since other kingdoms gave it to its brave warriors.

(Eleanor) - You can use that to get to the king. Not even the advisor has the power to suppress that.

(Olaf) - Where is the guard?

(Eleanor) - He was outside taking a break.

(Olaf) - Bring him here, please.

Eleanor left the prison and talked with the guard. The guard was surprised to hear such a thing and went to see it with his own eyes. When he approached Olaf and saw the royal crest he immediately released him and sent word to the other guards about it.

The rumors were spreading fast and they reached the advisor's ears as well.

He knew that when he told the king what he has done he will be expelled from the capital. And he tried to delay Olaf's arrival. The advisor was waiting at the entrance of the castle and thinking about what can he do so that Olaf will not turn him in. He thought long and hard but nothing came to his mind.

When Olaf arrived at the entrance he saw the advisor. The advisor kneeled before Olaf and started apologizing grabbing his leg and crying his eyes out.

(Olaf) - Can you stop now?

(Advisor) - I beg you, don't tell the king about what I have done.

(Olaf) - You knew who I was and you ignored it.

(Advisor) - I am sorry.

(Olaf) - It is too late for saying sorry now. Move.

The advisor remained there and continued crying. Olaf reached the king's chamber, knocked, and went in.

(King) - What a pleasant surprise

*Cough*

(Olaf) - I heard about your condition from Eleanor.

(King) - It's nothing serious.

(Olaf) - You still need to rest.

(King) - The commotion earlier today was you?

(Olaf) - Yes.

(King) - That snake of advisor did not tell me, he knew it and hid it from me.

The king was getting angrier by the moment and started coughing more and more. He finished coughing, but in the last cough, he spits blood.

(Olaf) - Calm down. You just hurt yourself by getting angry.

(King) - I will not leave him unpunished.

(Olaf) - First, get better and then do whatever you wish.

(King) - And what brings you here after such a long time?

(Olaf) - I found the book.

(King) - That is excellent news.

(Olaf) - I need to get it to the librarian and find out what it is about.

(King) - Report to me as soon as you get any news.

(Olaf) - There is another matter that I came for.

(King) - That is?

(Olaf) - The Wanderer.

(King) - He was sent to solve a dispute about black magic in other kingdoms.

(King) - If I may ask, how is the Wanderer involved?

(Olaf) - I found something more than the book in my journey.

(Olaf) - A boy that has unknown powers.

(King) - Unknown powers? Is he a threat to our kingdom?

(Olaf) - For now, he is our ally, but this is why I need to talk with the Wanderer.

(King) - What powers are we talking about?

(Olaf) - He defeated an Elemental by himself with ease and cured a trader controlled by Hate.

(King) - Impossible.

(Olaf) - Not when you see it with your own eyes.

Then Olaf explained everything that happened within the village and his travels in search of the book. After he finished the king fell asleep like a child after a bedtime story.

Olaf left the king's chamber and went to the inn where the others were waiting.

(Kenta) - How is the king?

(Olaf) - He is in very bad shape.

(Sol) - We are sorry to hear that.

(Olaf) - Tomorrow I will go to the Librarian with the book.

(Hayato) - We will show Ryuji around the capital.

*Grab*

(Olaf) - Take this with you, just in case.

(Ryuji) - But this is your royal crest.

(Olaf) - I will be with Eleanor, I will be fine. But if the advisor gets any new ideas that will help you.

(Ryuji) - What will happen to him now?

(Olaf) - First, we have other things to do. He will be properly punished when the king recovers.

(Ryuji) - You said something about the Wanderer. Who is he?

(Olaf) - He is the most knowledgeable human being I know of. He is also very experienced in black magic. Many people avoid it like the plague.

(Ryuji) - Are my powers related to black magic?

(Olaf) - We don't know yet, but it might be related.

They stayed a couple more hours drinking and eating and then went to bed.
