Ritsuka and the others managed to find some books regarding Claudia Salvatore's life. In the end, Ritsuka chose one book that has the most detail regarding Claudia's life...Ritsuka borrowed the book and took it with her...

"The book is pretty thick, I'll continue to read it in my room," Ritsuka said,

In the end, the group wanders around the castle for the day. And that is how they heard about a festival that is going to be held...
"The Winter festival Huh...,"
"Yes, the Winter festival is held when the first snow comes in Allesandra. We already have the mages predict when the first snow will fall, and that is when the festival will be held. The noble families will be holding many events throughout the season while the common folks will be having a festival, but most of all....the palace will be hosting a grand ball," One of the servants said,

"I see...well it is almost winter, the air is getting chilly," Ritsuka said, "Thanks for the info,"
Ritsuka and the group waves goodbye to the servants,

"A winter festival, huh....wonder how it's like," Mash said, "Maybe it'll be like Christmas?" Mash wondered,
"Who knows, after all this is a different world, they might have a different celebration," Ritsuka said,

"I'm sure it'll be wonderful, the palace and the kingdom looks quite nice," Bedivere said,
"Oh, pardon me honored guests....Her Majesty wishes to speak with you," One of the servants said,

"Oh...of course," Ritsuka and the others could already guess what's wrong,
"Looks like your little duel already reached her, huh....," Hugh said,
"Well, Vastrec did said that he'll ask the Queen to give us permission to train there. It must be regarding this," Ayden said,
"Oh well, let's just go," Ritsuka said,

The group enters Queen Roshia's office once again...

"I've heard about your little duel with my knights," Queen Roshia said,
And both Mash and Ritsuka flinched...

"Y-yes...we're sorry to have caused the disturbance," Mash said,
"Fufu, no need to apologize. I find it quite interesting and thankful for the experience. My knights are humble people, but I'm sure somewhere deep down they are quite confident that it is hard for others to win against them. With you defeating them, especially for the new recruits, it would brighten their horizon a little bit." Queen Roshia said,

"I see...but still we're really sorry that we did it without your consent," Ritsuka said,
"No need to be sorry, Vastrec was there as well so all is well. In fact, he told me that there is a strong knight amongst you," Queen Roshia said,

"Bedivere, was his name?" Queen Roshia looks toward Bedivere who is standing behind the group,
"It is an honor to make your acquaintance, Your Majesty. This humble knight is called Bedivere." Bedivere said as he bows, "I am a member of the Knights of the Round Table,"

"So you're a member of this so called "Knights of the Round Table"....a knight from another world,"
"I believe that is so," Bedivere said,

"Truth be told I am still a little doubtful regarding your story of this other world, but seeing that there is a knight so talented that I have never heard of, perhaps your story might be true.....could you perhaps summon another hero from your world?" Queen Roshia asked,

Of course, both Mash and Ritsuka were a little hesitant...
Seeing the worried look on their faces, Queen Roshia smiles as she understood...."Do not worry, I do not wish to bring any harm to your friends. I am just a bit curious...," Queen Roshia smiles wryly,

"O-of course, we wouldn't think you would have any ill intentions, Your Majesty. It's just that, we have a limited time to summon someone here so we need to be careful...," Ritsuka explained about the Servant summoning,
