It's Just a Dream

The moment when the princess was killed, she re-lives the moments they spent together.

Meanwhile, the knight wakes up startled as he dreams about the time he agreed to be the princess's knight and weirdly feels bad about this dream. The soldier came in with the message of princess's death confirming his fear.

Search of Phoenix

The phoenix only exists in myth, there are no records of sighting the phoenix in any country. Yet the king still sends the knight on this impossible mission to look for evidence of the phoenix's existence in the dense forest which has the power to confuse people and they always circle back to where they start

Surprisingly, the knight somehow is not affected by the mystery power and can set foot deeper than everyone else.
