[Lion King's Castle] Knight of the Lion King

Allow me to properly introduce myself. I am Luden... I was once a knight of this kingdom. Now, I'm nothing but a ghost.

You must be rather special to have ventured into this den of monsters. If you'd be so kind, I'd like to tell you my story and what's become of this place.

Our kingdom... though small and poor, was a peaceful place. Our king was wise and the people were loyal. Life wasn't easy, but it was filled with happiness. But now...

Look around you. Could you even believe this castle used to be filled with laughter? Our wise king and our graceful queen are gone, and a monster and his minions are in their place now...

The Black Mage is to blame for everything, for corrupting our king. I tried to convince the king so many times, but it wouldn't reach him. I was powerless to sway him.

Nothing changed after the heroes sealed the Black Mage. Many years passed, but the king still serves the Black Mage as a loyal vassal.

However, I haven't lost hope. There may yet be a way to persuade His Majesty. I'd continue to fight, but as you see, I have no body to wield. Could I implore you to try and persuade him in my place?

Are you able to hear my voice clearly? Then please hear my story.

What'd our ghostly pal have to say?

So the ghost is one of his knights, eh? And our spectral friend thinks we can convince Von Leon to switch sides? That'd be quite the get for the Alliance.

I say we go for it. Since you can talk to the ghost, I'll leave it to you while I look around the castle.

And that is my tale. Please lend me your aid.
