Danny was pissed off coming out of Cornius's office , anyone will be if one day some man comes in your face and denies all your life achievements while forcing you on a path the other person thinks is great .
When Cornius personally asked for me , I was seriously flattered , a general of such high standing called a butcher by name is something I have never heard of . When I was in front his tent a maid took me in without any contempt , I saw Cornius in his leisure sitting casually in an ebony chair having tea while another empty chair was lying in front , I was a bit restrained when he asked me to sit , so I sat in a hurry .
I was offered tea in a very graceful manner by the maid which I drank in a sip exposing my uncultured self , Cornius didn't point my mistake though instead he kept a slight smile , ignoring the matter altogether , the first impression Cornius gave me was good .
We had some small talk about politics etc... , apparently he too is fond of a book called " Running jokes of the Imperial Capital " we found some common ground which eased the mood .
Then out of nowhere he started mentioning how great being a soldier was , in his words the battlefield is a man's true calling , although I didn't know where he was going with this , still I kept nodding my head in approval , never interrupt a veteran when he talks about the military or you will get a rusty sword in your face . When I was paying barely any attention Cornius took out a purple cloth with the King's seal on it , he handed me the decree with both hands which I had to take cordially . He kept repeating how good the military's treatment was and how lucky I was to be accepted by His Majesty himself . His words were gentle but having an unwavering tone silently conveying the futility of my voice at this moment .
The decree wasn't long , basically I had to report at the Callahan military base for six months of training after which I will be formally employed as a serviceman . I have to leave for the base as soon as I set foot in the Imperial Capital .
Out of his tent I couldn't accept how fast my life turned , my initial plan was to work for another year amassing enough wealth for a plot of land in my hometown and marrying a simple wife from the countryside this plan can't keep up with the changes . First Jasmine now this .
Danny knew something was wrong , the world slowed down whenever he concentrated and a terrifying amount of force bursts out if he puts effort into anything , by the looks of it the King knows something .
Resisting the will of His Majesty is impossible for a common man , I am not a common man .
With an unyielding will in his eyes Danny went deeper into the night , he had enough of serving people he wants to be his own master .
