When I think of a knight with the rank of a leader or captain, I usually think of someone like the gloomy Aeron or the serious and quiet head knight Rentap. Even the friendly Bear Captain from Gastrium is strict when needed to. This one, on the other hand, is like The Head of The Special Knight, Arthur. They're both goofy and fun in their own way. The way they speak, while carrying goofiness and fun, also carry the tone of a seasoned warrior. 

This ghastly knight named Tuah, upon realizing that he's now in front of the current princess of this land, quickly bows down. He plunged his sword into the ground and bowed, which, according to Master Merlin, was the custom of the knights of that time. Princess Siti doesn't know the proper response of that time, but she does one she is most familiar with. She's Sister Dana's best friend and one of Master Merlin's students, but when things call for it, she knows what to do.

"As a princess of this land, let me praise you for a job well done. Tell me, dear warrior of the past, for what reason are you awakening?" [Princess Siti]

"Because of the Devil King" [Tuah]

"Can you be more specific?" [Princess Siti]

"Certainly, Your Highness Princess Siti" [Tuah]

Apparently, he was rewarded by the goddess for his deed in life with all the wishes he could possibly want. I heard about this from Saintess Rumia and Grandmother Farhah. Those with great deeds are often rewarded by the goddess, and even rarer is one where the goddess is the one who lets her subject choose. According to them, the goddess already knew what her subject would choose, but asked it as a form of communication between herself and her subject. 

His deed, according to himself, is helping the four subjugate the Devil King. That's to be expected, which makes me think

"Don't you have one, Master Merlin?" [Diana]

"Knowledge of the soul" [Merlin]

"Aren't you a witch to begin with?" [Dana]

"I am, but we're not even great to begin with." [Merlin]

"Nonsense witch Merlin. You're already being applauded as the first true witch even before your reward" [Tuah].

"And what does the others choose?" [Tiara]

"Titania simply chooses longevity for the fairies. Fairies are actually quite short creatures before her wish. Maria simply wishes for a place by the side of the goddess, and as for Aru, she wishes for her descendants to be the ones to fight any evil that comes after her passing." [Merlin]

"And I believe her wish will come true with these two descendants of hers. I'm glad that my wishes are almost like hers" [Tuah].

"If only the others from Aru Village weren't so evil" [Dana].

"Agreed" [Diana].

"So your wish is to be awakened to help us in our time of need?" [Princess Siti]

"That is correct, Your Highness. My wish is for me and my comrade to be awakened from our slumber should the Devil King and any other great evil rise again" [Tuah].

"But why in this form?" [Teliara]

"The Goddess can do us justice, she can miraculously grant us a body if we wish, but no, we choose this body because we don't want to burden our citizens with feeding us" [Tuah].

"Admirable. Food and goods are scarce back then" [Merlin].

So his awakening is just a double confirmation that the Devil King will indeed awaken. The good news is that he mentioned that his comrades will also be awakened, and the bad news is that since the Goddess herself is awakening them, this shows the seriousness of the threat, more so that the Devil King is working with THE THING.

"So where are your comrades-in-arms?" [JOATMON]

"That's the sad part, they are currently being held hostage by the devil" [Tuah].

"So there really is one!" [Diana]

"Yes, the final boss of this dungeon has made a deal with the devil and has become much more powerful. Unlike me, who wishes to be awakened as such, my comrade chose to be awakened as a warrior golem form in this dungeon and..." [Tuah]

"I get it now. As a dungeon boss, it will have some control over the spawn in the dungeon, thus interfering with the awakening process. If they're to be awakened, they will surely be controlled and cause more destruction" [Merlin].

"Can't the goddess just purify them while awakening them?" [Dana]

"She can, but just like what Grandmother Farhah and Saintess Rumia said, the Goddess usually puts a test on you when she gives you something so that you will appreciate it more" [Diana].

"I can't believe you have to be told this by your little sister of all people..." [Princess Siti]

"Don't act like you already know the answer!" [Dana]

(I see... I'm ashamed I didn't think of that. I'm sure Grandpa Sage already knows this) [Teliara]

And they bicker again. Tuah also mentioned that he has to roam this area because he doesn't see anyone from the current era who is fit enough to face the devil. Even Chief Knight Rentap isn't worthy enough in his eyes, but now

"Witch Merlin, Her Highness Princess Siti, the two descendants of Aru Dana and Diana and Diana and others, please help me" [Tuah].

"All right, we will, won't we Fie and Mimic!" [Diana]

"Meow!" [Fie]

The Mimic makes a gurgling sound as a way of saying yes.
