Shiroe, Crusty, and Michitaka are invited to the palace by the Free Cities of Eastel.  The nobles of the land invite the three of them to various meetings and seem to be trying to find out more about Akihabara and the Round Table.  Crusty is attracted to the daughter of Duke Cowen, who is noble, beautiful, but seems somehow lazy...

to the strongest of these brave knights?
Principessa, posso avere l'ardire di chiedervi 
una ricompensa per il migliore di questi baldi cavalieri?
