After packing, we got on the carriage and left for Partina.
I enjoyed the entire ride, even though it was a little, I got to see the beauty of mother nature through the window.
I learnt a few facts about the temple I visited.
It seems like it's called the temple of strength and power.
It's created to worship the strength and power of God.
And the apples there taste fantastic.
And that Partina is the military town where all the soldiers reside and train
I reached Partina after a long ride.
I was escorted by the commander of the entire army, commander Ledros.
I walked through the streets to reach the military camp.
I saw little children playing around.
They all greeted me when I walked near them.
It was nice.
After I reached the camp, I and Blade were honoured.
We were escorted by commander Ledros to the training area.
When I reached the training area, I saw big, muscular men training with swords and punching wooden blocks.
They looked like they would crush me if I went near them.
While I was wondering how strong the men were, Blade was discussing how much the soldiers are paid and how they play a part in the war and who is the strongest of them all.
He was being very responsible, he was
Respectful to everyone, it made others honour him.
After a few minutes, we walked and reached the place where the special soldiers were.
I was super-duper scared and surprised.
Those super soldiers were looking like they would eat me for breakfast.
They all bowed down and respected me.
I seriously couldn't think about what kind of special food they eat once a year to grow this big.
If I was the bad guy, I would make these guys starve.
But since I am the good guy, I have to help them.
My mind was even more blown when I realized that the soldiers standing in front of me were just five and that the total number is a hundred.
I said 'seeing them makes me realise that they are a very important part of the army and that I surely have to support them in order to have a strong military defence, so commander please give me some time to think about it'
The commander said, 'we await for your word, your highness'
After seeing the special forces, we were invited to the buffet prepared by the military camp.
Blade and I went to the buffet.
The buffet was grand and enormous; all the soldiers in the army were there.
At the buffet, we had the great chance to see the captains of the divisions of army
It seems like there were a lot of divisions in the army like the close combat division, the sword division, the horse riders divisions and much more.
I easily recognized who the captains were by looking at their dressing.
The buffet was being held in a long hall with a really long table.
It looked like the one from Harry Potter.
The foods served looked visually appealing.
I took some food on my plate and started to eat.
The food was delicious, is wis he mosh chelicious fosh I eves ase in my ife
(translation from mouth stuffed with food language :it was the most delicious food I ever ate)
Just when I was at the dessert which looked like a pudding or a nasty slob of sticky jelly. I had a message pop up.

Captain Lukas of the sword division is harming your advisor.
__________________________________
My advisor is being harmed by someone !
Why? Can't he keep his thief hands to himself ?
Did he steal someone's wallet?
Did he punch someone ?
Or is he getting hit for the ten wallets I stole.
Well, that's not possible since all the wallets I stole are safe in my inventory.
They contained 50 gold in total, why is my kingdom so poor?
I stood up in my place and looked around and saw a fit, young man with brown hair grabbing my advisor by his shirt.
I realized that it was Captain Lukas who was grabbing Blade by his shirt.
I shouted, ' Captain Lukas unhand my advisor, or you will face severe punishment'
When I said that, the entire room fell silent.
Commander Ledros rushed to my side.
Lukas did not leave Blade when I said that, instead he spoke against me.
'My king this person is your advisor, I am surprised, but I know this dirty brat he is not fit to be an advisor he is a lowly thief who's a disgrace to his father's name'
His words made the entire room look at him.
I said with anger 'Captain Lukas, Blade is more fit to be an advisor more than you ever will be, right now At this moment he has more authority than you so if you are not unhanding him you will face severe consequences for your action'
Hearing that made him angry, he's probably not angry, but jealous that Blade has more power than him.
After leaving Blade alone, I and Blade left the buffet, the buffet continued.
Ledros dragged Lukas out of the room and made him stand in front of me.
He said 'I am so sorry your highness Captain Lukas needs to work on his manners a little, so now he will bow apologize to you and lord Blade'
Lukas looked at Ledros with a face which said I did not say that, but the anger of Ledros was more intimidating.
With no respect from his heart and words, Captain Lukas apologized to Blade
' Please forgive me for being rude towards you, Lord Blade'
Blade accepted his apology, after this whole incident I and Blade thought about taking a walk at the garden.
Blade did not speak to me about what had happened.
I had some questions to ask him about his mysterious childhood.
So I broke the ice and said, ' Can you please explain to me about how Captain Short tempered Lukas knew you'
Blade said
