Aster was sitting in his carriage with Ramuja, while Irion was the coachman for his carriage. In front of his carriage, King Gaum's official carriage was leading the way, they were surrounded by soldiers marching and protecting the carriage of their king.
The soldiers were excited about this, because their king had given them gold incentive for the soldiers who were willing to go to war. King Gaum implemented quick radicalizing changes in the system of Kingdom Rhea, and surprisingly, all of those new regulations were effective, including the new incentive for soldiers.
Before, everyone only relied on their patriotism to fight for Kingdom Rhea, which the soldier didn't lack. But they did constantly think about their family in their hometown. Thus, with this gold incentive, the one who went to war and returned safe will be given high incentive, and the one who died during the war will have their family to be compensated handsomely.
