”This is weird.” Han Sen frowned. Only the Knight Tree had a lifeforce in the vicinity.

”Maybe the tree absorbed the life from the soil all around it?” Han Sen asked, looking at Moment Queen.

”All plants absorb energy from the ground, but they never take more than their fair share. If there is an insufficient amount of nutrients available for its growth, it does not drain the surrounding area; it just accepts its own demise. It would not grow,” Moment Queen said, with her eyes fixed on the Knight Tree.

”The tree has... a problem?” Han Sen said, as he eyed the six knights that hung from the boughs.

Moment Queen replied, ”Yes, it has a big problem. For this tree to grow, with dead earth all around, should be impossible.”

Han Sen nodded to display his understanding, and as he turned back to watch the tree, his face turned grim.

”There is something amiss with the fruit, also.” Han Sen's forehead flexed again.

”Why? What do you see?” Moment Queen asked, with her own ardent curiosity.

Han Sen, with his eyes on the six knight fruit, said, ”The Knight Tree is strong, as we have surmised. But the fruit it bears are weak. And you said it would take another thousand years for them to mature? They seem too weak to adhere to your estimate. And...”

Han Sen froze.

”And... what?” Moment Queen was not used to the way Han Sen was speaking.

”This knight tree has seven fruit, actually. There is one behind the tree, but it avoided our attention at first,” Han Sen explained.

”There is another one?” Moment Queen's face changed, and so she went to the other side of the tree.

Han Sen brought the Dragon-Blood Snake and Little Wind with him to circle the tree. He was keen to get a better look, but he made sure to keep his distance.

On the other side of the tree, the fruit there was different than the other six. It was similar in shape, but it didn't look quite as natural. It was more like a statue of a knight.

The other six wore bright steel armor, but this one wore green-copper armor. Its presence there was a mystery.

Han Sen felt a powerful energy coming from the knight, and the other six combined seemed to be no match for the green-copper enigma.

As Moment Queen's eyes fell upon it, she exclaimed, ”Disloyal Knight! It is a Disloyal Knight! The tree has birthed a Disloyal Knight!”
