King Arthur is determined to make the journey to Northland and attend Michael's coronation despite the danger along the way. He assigns Valiant the dual tasks of preparing the security measures for the journey and delivering a personal message to Rowanne. Unfortunately, Rowanne made it quite clear after recent events that she wants nothing to do with either Valiant or Camelot. Still, both Valiant and Arn pray for the best as they ride to Bridgeford, leaving Sir Bryant to lead the garrison right into an ambush.
