“Something wrong?”

“I think we will have to change our destination.”

“What’s happened?”

“Let take during war council”

“Should I prepare now?”

“Yes, summon everyone except those on sentry duty. Let meet in 5 hours.”

“Understood.”

“One more thing. Don’t let anyone enter my room no matter what.”

“…”

“Don’t make that face. It might not be something serious.”

===========

“Is that all your report?”

“…”

“When will the crown arrive?”

“…”

“What take them so long? I want to move to night if possible.”

“…”

“No need I can guess who will come. Prepare me a body double.”

“…”

“I will leave this midnight. Summon Senary to me.”

===========

“What wrong? Serirak?”

“Don’t make that kind of face. It is nothing dangerous. I just reassign to a new place.”

“Where is it this time?”

“Mountain Range Derieka, I just need to escort refugees to the north of the empire. And manage them for some time.”

“I will go with you.”

“And that is why I summon you. My brother is behind this.”

“Veyu?”

“I will leave to night.”

“Alone?”

“No, with my elite guard.”

“I will go with you.”

“You can, but not now.”

“Why?”

“The second princess will come here to replace me. I want you to prepare the reception for her and transfer my authority. I need you here for credibility with my double.”

“When will her highness come?”

“In 2 days, tomorrow please depart my first army and half of my personal guard as advance team. You can move in 3 day from now.”

“…”

“Don’t worried, even though it is urgent, it is still relative safe compare to my other brothers.”

“I understand I will make preparation. I will meet up with you as soon as possible.”

“Glad to hear that. It is about time for war council. Let’s go.”

========

“Is everyone here?”

“Yes, all 17 heads is here. Exclude other 6 heads which is on patrol and sentry duty.”

“humm, let start the 42th war council. I assume some of you already know why I summon this war council. There is a join order from the crown and the fief-”

“I assume it is not a pleasant news, marshal?”

“To some yes.”

“What is it this time? Raiding, evasion or massacre?”

“Stop talking nonsense. You should not interrupt marshal speech. You are wasting everyone time here.”

“I just voice my opinions. Isn’t it war council? You want to execute me for it? Or you want to lock me in dungeon? Huh? Marshal? Let see how the crown will act on this.”

“The crown will take over this region. And the fief army will have to return to fiefdom. So you can meet the crown you talk so much about, Badasha.”

“Hum, finally.”

“Marshal, what does it mean?”

“The crown will send someone to replace me. All the authority and responsibility will transfer to the crown. And the ownership of this region will belong to the one come here. They will arrive in 2 days from now. I just received their massager this evening.”

“Why so suddenly?”

“Because someone is incompetence.”

“You-”

“Both of you stop. This is the last thing I want to say so we can end this meeting. The fief army is to return to the fiefdom after the transfer ceremony. And the royal and empire army is to station here and will be put under the command of the new marshal. The inspector will remind on their duty and wait for the next order from the crown. As for administrators, they will remain here until the new marshal get complete control over the region or dismissal from the new marshal or the joined order from the crown and the fief. Now is everyone clear?”

“Marshal, what about security of the administrators?”

“The security of the administrators will be the responsibility by the new marshal.”

“But that is….”

“I understand your concern, Barak. They have the accountability to the crown on all thing regarding the administrators’ life. Your safety is secured. Anymore questions?”

“We don’t have. Let wrap this up. MARSHALS~~.”

“Now, everyone dismiss.”

==============

“That rascal-”

“Don’t get it to your head too much, Senary.”

“But-”

“It’s not good for your health. Your skin will dry. It put wrinkles on your cute face too.”

“SERIRAK”

“Sorry, sorry. It is not like we will be with him forever. And soon he will see the reality. Just like you did.”

“Stop bring it up. I am still ashamed.”

“Huh, huh. Now this face is cuter.”

“You meanie.”

“More, you make me want to push you now.”

“Stop it you pervert.”

“I only have about 15 minutes left. But I think it is enough to do the deed.”

“You, you…. If you dear.”

“Okay, okay. I will go now.”

“…………..”

“…………..”

“………….”

“Senary, I don’t want to say this but. I think I should say it now. You should relax for now. Think will get more hectic after this mess.”

“…understood…”

“I will leave the rest to you. Carry my massage to the other. If possible, I want to make baby before I go now.”

“YOU-”

“See you soon.”

“…”

“I want my first child to be a boy.”

“…”

=================

“Is it that fun, young master, to tease your lover?”

“Fiancée, FIANCÉE, she is my fiancée. And yes it is fun.”

“I don’t get it.”

“You should get one. And you will see how fun it is.”

“…”

“You should. I can introduce you to some nice girls. If you don’t mind.”

“No need.”

“You should live your life to its fullness so you will have no regret. Produce offspring. Plant a new seed.”

“It is really that hopeless.”

“What do you mean?”

“The future.”

“What make you think that?”

“I mean the way you speak. Moreover that face it feel like you are losing to this struggle. ”

“ahh. Thank for remind me. Humm, The answer is not. Because he is here with us.”

“I see.”

“Now let go. Only 2 minutes left.”
