The Vagabond Knight's answer comes as no SURPRISE...
He renews his attack, spurred on by the black knight...
Alas - against TWO hardened villains, C. J. begins to WEAKEN...
It becomes obvious these two rogues have done business BEFORE....
Intent only on survival, C. J. doesn't notice a third figure enter the fray... but the two robber KNIGHTS do!
The heavy golden shield flies unerringly straight towards C.J.!
In the very nick of time, she manages to catch it...
...quickly deflecting a bone-crushing blow from De Crecy's deadly morningstars!
The Blue Knight thunders to her rescue!
The black knight does not WAIT AROUND!
Her lordly rescuer calls with stern authority AFTER the fleeing villain!
Meanwhile, a rather breathless C.J. deftly retrieves her HELMET...
She does not need his CROWN (or her enemies' frightened reactions) to tell her he is a KING!
He answers her with grave courtesy...
She finds herself liking this lordly man...
Sir Wilfrid's guilty conscience is his undoing...
Well, THAT... plus a stray sword-stroke of C.J.'s that, uh, weakened his GIRTH!
What will HAPPEN to Sir Wilfrid? (AND C. J. McLeod....)
