Episode: 3
Dark mages and an undead army march toward the city gates. Bruce stands alone against them and destroys the entire horde with fire magic. By morning, Bruce returns to the palace in white royal clothes. A maid confronts him, scolding his absence and delivering Queen Diana's urgent order to reach the auction house. Fearing Diana is in danger due to the distance, Bruce casts a teleportation spell to reach her quickly.
An army of skeletons and hooded dark mages advances on the gates. Bruce confronts them by himself. He unleashes overwhelming fire magic, reducing the entire horde and its leaders to ash before daybreak.
Bruce puts on white royal clothes and steps into the daylight on the balcony. An angry maid approaches him. She reprimands him for disappearing and orders him to report to Queen Diana at the auction house immediately.
Bruce considers the steep distance to the auction house. Believing Queen Diana might face danger, he acts quickly. He weaves a magical hand sign in the corridor to travel across the realm instantly.
“What a worthless insect. Kill him!”
“Then don't blame me.”
“The Queen has been looking everywhere for you. She ordered you to be at the auction house before half the candle burns out, otherwise you'll regret it.”
“Diana's in trouble? The auction house is dozens of kilometers away, there's no way to make it in time before half a candle burns out.”
Bruce weaves a complex hand sign in the palace corridor, using magic to teleport to the auction house dozens of kilometers away. He rushes out because he believes Diana is in mortal danger. Will Bruce arrive in time before the candle burns down, and is Diana really in trouble?
