After successfully protecting the prince, Beryl is honored at a royal banquet where he is personally praised by the king. The king even calls him a “master swordsman,” a title that leaves the humble Beryl feeling flustered and unworthy. He later returns home, preferring a simple home-cooked meal over the palace’s fancy food. The season ends as Beryl’s father reads a letter from his son, smiling with pride and looking forward to the day the “old country bumpkin” truly becomes the master he is destined to be.
