Justin and the Knights of Valour

1

Welcome to the kingdom of Gabilonia,

once home of the bravest knights of all.

But, not anymore.

Ever since the knights were forced to leave the kingdom

and justice officers took their place,

we get a new law every day.

Article one. It is forbidden

to SHOUT in the streets.

- This bread is hard as a rock.

- "Hard as a rock."

- Are you saying this is yesterday's bread?

- "Yesterday's bread."

Yeah, rock hard, like your head.

Uh... "Like your 'ead."

Keep walking. Keep walking.

This is gonna cost you. Horseshoes are worn...

Illegal front lights.

- But officer...

- License and registration!

Identity papers and permits please.

For you and the horse.

But officer...

- Everything's just crazy.

- But I don't even know what

a "vacicatination" book is.

Sorry miss, we're going to have to impound the cat.

- No!

- This bread is rubbish.

Mr. Nicasio, may I?

Sparkles!

Hey, little girl, did they read you your rights?

But I don't even know what my rights is.

Quick, before he comes back.

This is where I live with my father.

Who happens to be the most important

lawyer in the kingdom.

I have a big exam to get into Law School soon

and I really should be studying, but... in truth...

"...in truth, it wasn't the first time he faced a dragon,"

but this time it was different. This was Gdraf,

the three headed dragon.

If any of the Knights of Valour

had a chance against it, it was.

"Sir Roland."

My grandfather!

Justin!

Your breakfast is getting cold.

Rise and shine. It's a truly splendid day.

Yes...

father.

Allow me master.

This came for you. They were enthusiastic to have you.

- But I thought there was an entry exam.

- Not for my son.

Law school will be the best years of your life

Treasure them...

- Hallowed halls where all great lawyers are born.

- Father, what if...

The long nights, studying under the stars...

- And soon your diploma will hang next to mine.

- Father...

What if... what if I didn't actually start this year?

Why not?

Because I... Because I don't want to be a lawyer.

- Hm?

- Yet.

Of course you do.

It's just it doesn't feel like the right fit for me.

- So what do you want to be?

- I've been thinking... Well...

- I want to be a knight.

- Sit down, please.

Knights are outlawed. You would be breaking the law.

And I would not let my son do that.

- Maybe the law is wrong.

- What?

Now listen, knights no long exist,

because we don't need them.

You will be twice the hero

when you learn the letter of the law.

Rather than the inarticulate ravings of the sword.

- Grandfather saved the kingdom.

- Justin, do not bring my father into this.

And he saved you. Sir Roland was...

Silence! Don't mention your grandfather again,

You understand?

But if being a knight was good enough for your father...

Enough!

You're going to Law School. And that's final.

- Justin, honey. What's wrong?

- I'm doomed.

Your father again.

You hungry?

FOR THE BRAVEST GRANDPA IN THE WHOLE WORLD

- Yes, I miss him too.

- I wish I'd known him better.

- No, thanks.

- I know, you'll make a terrible lawyer.

You're honest and not a very good liar.

And those wigs'll look awful on you.

I can't go. But I'll really hurt dad if I don't.

What should I do?

Follow me.

You've seen it a thousand times.

And you always look at it with the same foolish face.

- Hey.

- But now...

I want you to look at it carefully.

- Ever noticed something's missing?

- No.

- What am I looking for?

- Inspiration.

- You picked the wrong day for that.

- Oh, come on!

- Look harder.

- I can't see it.

Poppycock, of course you can.

There should be a sword.

Why have I never seen that before?

You were a child you dreamed it was there.

But now you're becoming a man.

Am I? Father still treats me like a child.

I know what I want. But I don't want to hurt him.

One day, when Reginald was little,

he said to your grandad:

"Dad, when I grow up I am going to be one of those men,"

"who makes laws. Because the world is

too complicated without laws."

And your grandad said: "Then son,

you will be whatever you want to be."

And he hugged him.

I remember the king's words

the day your grandad was knighted:

"Carry this sword with strength,"

"and prepare your heart for goodness."

"Never use it to do harm in anger."

"but always to defend the good and the just."

Thanks.

So, if you want to be a knight, you will need a quest.

Find grandfather's sword and bring it home.

Well done!

You must take this to the Tower of Wisdom.

Tell them who you are and give this key to them.

- They will train you to be a knight.

- But, where is the tower?

That's your first challenge.

But you'd better hurry, Justin.

The Kingdom grows weaker by the day.

Soon those who were banished will return.

And there is no one to stop them.

Home at last!

Heraclio, you're out of practice.

My respects, my queen.

I always served you faithfully and never failed you,

until you failed us. With just two signatures, you

and that lawyer put an end to our days of glory.

That was all it took.

And now after living in exile and alone.

I have to join forces with the

same vermin I once swore to fight.

Why didn't you listen?

Now I have no choice but to speak with the sword.

Now you both have to die.

Really, Sir 'H'...

We're going to get terribly healthy living here.

Well, it has character.

But as they say:
"location, location, location."

Oh, and jewellery too. Nice crown.

- What are you wearing?

- Oh, you noticed.

One of my own creations. D'you like it?

Being a soldier doesn't mean you can't

have good taste, POWER and style.

We need an army.

OK. Don't make yourself comfortable, Sota.

You and your half-wit brothers have a busy night tonight.

Tonight?

What you think of this?

Is it grown up enough for my coming of age party?

Yes! You look like a princess.

Nah! My dress has to be perfect.

People are coming from all over the kingdom.

Sebastian, please find something really stunning.

Lara, do you remember how,

even in kindergarten, I wanted to be a knight?

Uh, that is so last decade.

Well, yes, call me old fashioned.

But now I actually have a chance

of making that dream come true.

So, don't tell anyone, but

I won't be able to come to school with you.

Are you crazy? That's terrible!

I know, dearest. It's hard for me too.

In fact, there is a possibility I might never return.

- You're not serious!

- Yes, I am.

I could end my days in a stinky

dungeon or burnt by a dragon.

Now, that's so... hot!

Yes, at least 2,000 degrees... They say.

Danger will be my constant companion.

- That, and my devotion to you.

- What is this?

Of course!

A knight always carries a token of his lady's love.

A sock? Well...

I'll always keep it with me.

And one day I'll give it back to you.

Is that fool still here? Ah, sorry, dearest.

Now I need to try on my intimate things.

- Underwear.

- Oh, oh, sorry!

I shall return from my quest when you come of age.

And as a knight, that's my promise.
