The days roll by as quickly as they always do, and the time for the four teenagers to head home arrives. The past five days were even more eventful than when the Duke of Stoneborne was here.

I know that it's a bit of a risky move to have another country's people with my soldiers as they can get information of how strong my kingdom is. At the same time, I would like for the soldiers to experience military power from another country through mutual means. Under Alex and Delic's careful watch, I allowed the teenagers to freely mingle with my soldiers and trade knowledge of training techniques.
"Why do you look so disheartened?" I ask the teenagers as they stand in front of me.
