Immediately some knights, mainly officers, form an Honour Guard and the king's bodyguard take their place opposite them, while Terenas awaits his cousin in the courtyard.
After a brief walk, the king, Ay Estos and Sir Baldthar find their way in the court yard...
''Cousin its so good to see you!!!'' says Terenas
''Good to see you too Terenas!!!'' replies the king and the two men greet each other!
''Terenas you know Ay Estos...
''Your servant Sir'' says Estos with a slight bow..
''And Sir Baldthar..''
.....no reply on behalf of Sir Baldthar...
''It is an honour to receive you gentlemen!'' says Terenas ''Allow me to introduce to you my son, Arthas''
Arthas bows and greets the three men ''Highness, gentlemen!''
''Terenas, your boy has grown into a fine man!! Well done!!''
''Thank you Kellanved! So, to what do I owe the pleasure of your visit?''
''I assure you its nothing good, Terenas... Its the Malevolent Duke...''
''Say no more Cousin. If you need more allies, me and my men are by you side''
''I have no doubt Terenas, but I need you to travel with me... I am going to the Green Dragon Temple... I must seek the alliance of the Green Dragon and I need the strongest representatives of all the orders to persuade him to aid us.''
''Alas, I cannot leave the castle cousin..too many disputes await my final verdict, I cannot leave these people now.'' replied Terenas ''But Arthas here will come with you!''
