Justin and the Knights of Valour Page #3

Back to a time when the best kegs of beer

were opened in their honour

and ladies pined for their love.

No woman I know could resist falling

for a man in shining armour.

Beers? Ladies?

Oh boy! With that body and this face,

we're going to go far.

Crackpot or wizard?

Maybe a wizard.

And now what?

Hey!

Hey! Hey!

Alright!

Hold your horses, laddie.

- Are you lost?

- No... no, sir.

- I'm here to receive training.

- In what, bell ringing?

- No, I want to become a knight.

- Hm, how nice.

I know, er, and I have this.

Er... somewhere...

Here!

- Hm, so you're Sir Roland's son.

- I'm his grandson.

Come along, young man. Get into the boat.

- So, how long've you been the ferryman?

- Do I look like a ferryman?

- He's so young and rather scrawny.

- Braulio, calm down.

You see? Told you.

My name is Braulio. And you are here because...

- Because I want to be trained.

- Thank Goodness.

After so many years without candidates,

we were on the verge, of leaving th...

Don't bore the boy with our affairs

Braulio. That's enough!

- And this is the great Sir Blucher.

- The Sir Blucher?

- Ah, I'm honoured.

- Do you really know me lad?

- Or are you just being diplomatic?

- No!

No, I've read all about you.

You're all over my copy of

"Tales of The Knights of Valour".

- But ahm...

- Spit it out, young man.

Well, but... but... You're shorter in real life.

Honesty, huh? You're off to a good start, laddie.

Let me show you what Braulio is up to.

Here we have a game going on with brothers

from another order in the Far East.

Don't touch, lad. - Ah, there she is.

Four generations have played this single game

for every 450 years.

They've spent months coming up with this move.

What a ridiculous move!

They don't have a chance. 392.1

00:
31:00,190... 00:31:02,000 So silly!

Oh, they... they... k-k-killed my dragon! 393.100:31:09,300

00:
31:12,260 Those seaweed eating friars are gonna see!

Justin, pull the bell and get Legantir up here.

Sure.

Oh, no!

Braulio!

- What's happening to him?

- Get Legantir.

- What's wrong with him?

- He's having one of his fits. Hurry!

What's all the noise about? Braulio?

That was magic.

Come on lad, it's better we go. Let him recover in peace.

Yes.

I'm older than you I'm smaller than you.

Stop dreaming, Justin. Attack!

Ladsen!

Oh-oh! That's a beauty.

This abbey has too many leaks. And me too many aches.

Come on. Surprise me.

If you're not sure of a move. Don't do it.

Don't give your opponent an opportunity.

- Do you want to rest?

- "Do you want to rest?"

That's no fighting talk! Feint!

Diagonal attack. Do it!

The old contraptions take a while to get started,

but we still work.

Fewer moves, but more precise.

Don't forget to protect the crown jewels.

Aye, laddie. The suit doesn't make the man.

The man makes the suit.

Now you lost dear lad.

That doesn't mean to say you have to like it. Now...

go take a bath. You stink like a troll.

I got up a thousand times last night.

Well, that's what comes with old age.

No, I was worried.

I don't know if we should do this. He's too young.

It's dangerous.

He has his grandfather's heart, I can tell ye.

That's what I'm afraid of.

Forgive us, my lord, I got held up in town.

And I took advantage of the visit

to see the latest fashions

and to hear the latest gossip too.

Allow me to present

your army!

Is this the best you could do?

Hey!

You are scum!

Scum. Because that is what this foolish system

of foolish laws has made you.

But I say you are more than that.

Together we can show them how weak they are.

That their pathetic laws are nothing against our swords.

We can make them beg for their lives.

If you fight by my side,

I promise, those miserable people,

who unfairly keep you behind bars, will pay for it.

Join me, and I will train you into a fighting machine.

Stick with me and you will each

have a place in the new kingdom.

And wealth beyond your wildest dream.

- I want more men.

- More men?

What? We don't have any more gold.

Well, then we'll have to get more.

Hey, angel, did it hurt when you fell out of heaven?

What?

It's nothing, ah. I'd like to talk to the boss.

Me too. He owes me two weeks' pay.

Miss, do you need me to defend you?

Are you in some kind of trouble?

Nothing that I can't deal with myself, Sir Glance-a-lot.

Oh, and don't forget to come to our costume night.

There are some big prizes.

- I want your best room.

- Oh, yes. The Royal Suite,

for the gentleman. - The best. - Your name?

Hey, I'm working here.

A damsel is in distress.

Stop this injustice.

This damsel in distress is now safe.

Let go of me. Touch me one more time,

and we'll see who's in distress. And thank you.

- Those napkins could have killed me.

- Paper cuts can be very painful.

- Who do you think you are?

- Who am I?

Villagers, peasants,

people in general and hot damsels...

gather around. Over here. Yea.

I am... Sir Clorex.

Defender of... errr...

Widows, yeah, orphans...

and beautiful damsels, such as this one.

And I have chosen to honour

this village with my presence,

ensuring that life here goes on peacefully,

under the protection of my powerful arm.

- Check it out.

- Finally, a knight!

I am proud to walk in this beautiful land,

that is now much more so,

thanks to my gracious silhouette,

and distinguished profile.

I shall use my skills and my noble soul,

to defend what is right and fair. Thank you.

Alright, take it easy. He'll be here all week.

Three cheers for myself. Hip, hip... Hooray!

Hip, hip... Hooray! Hip, hip... Hooray!

Braulio! You have to be more careful.

- Get out of here.

- It wasn't...

Go!

Hey, Mel. Closing time.

I wonder how Justin's doing. I hope he's Ok.

He's going.

How do you know? Did you connect with him telepathically?

No, he's fine, because you're still

thinking about him. Now tell.

Real cute, Mel But he's not my type.

- She likes him.

- Well...

For once we agree on something.

I've heard that tune before.

My parents sang it to me when I couldn't sleep.

I suppose their parents sang it to them.

- Where is your mother now?

- She died when I was little.

Oh, I'm am sorry to hear that.

So you and your father must be very close.

I'm... I'm, sorry about what happened to Braulio today.

Don't apologize, just learn from it.

What exactly is wrong with him?

One of his experiments didn't turn out as he expected.

And his brain hasn't worked properly ever since.

All I do know is that there's two sides to every coin.

Do you think I can do this?

In all honesty, I can't answer that.

But you are right to have doubts.

If you didn't, I'd be worried.

Up until now I've only dreamed of being a knight

I don't know if I'm brave enough.

To go against you father's wishes

means that you have to believe in yourself.

That alone marks you out as a brave... man.

- You were going to say "boy."

- Yes.

- Yes, I was.

- I'm glad you didn't.

What next?
