The play did not linger on a single moment. It moved from one thing to another. Days passed on the stage in the span of heartbeats.
The knight was shown at the walls, then in the streets, then standing alone before maps and messengers.
Victories followed one after another, enemy banners torn down, border fires extinguished, soldiers returning alive who had expected to die.
The official who supposedly spoke the word of the crown ordered the knight to go do one impossible mission after another, but the knight and his men remained victorious.
To prevent more losses, the knight strengthened his men through training and through their equipment. The money he gained from his victories were used to create a stronger army to better protect the people.
With each triumph, the city grew safer. Yet despite that, the growing strength of the knight and his army made those officials feel threatened.
