...mechanical devise left by the aliens. Don't touch it."
Princess Hazel and the Court had traveled to the area vacated by the starship to honor Sir Perceval. The Jester/Ambassador had vanquished the two headed alien and saved Bonnyhillshireville. The Princess awarded Percy the Metal of Valor.
Sir Perceval, humble peasant from the village of Kumquatontheriver in the Kingdom of Ballytoowayout, had risen to heights of which he had never dreamed. Since the alien incident he was applauded and feted and everyone bought him drinks and listened to his corny jokes.
After the award ceremony, Princess Hazel gave Percy a message from the King that read:
"There may be war between Bonnyhillshireville and Ballytoowayout and you must go as my Mediator to Queen Bella. Find out what Ballytoowayout is planning and I will make you an Earl.
So Sir Perceval traveled back to his old country in the King's own carriage.
