The Silent Knight vs. the Sleeping Knights!

Squire Brian trains hard, but can't look too good or Lady Celia will suspect he's secretly the Silent Knight... At Camelot, the Knights of Round Table still argue who's the best knight.

Using the two opponents against each other, he dodges their blows and rides home - to Lady Celia.
