Their victory at the Burnsville Cup was the talk of the town, a testament to their hard work and team spirit.

Act II: The King's Feast

At the heart of our small town, the grill at King's Place sizzles with an offering of 100+ burgers. The fryers are hot and ready, the beers are cold, and the staff is ever-ready to serve. It's a refuge for the hungry, the weary, and those looking for a friendly face and a hearty meal.
