After spending several hours at the training ground, Jasem returned to the grand Dining Hall, where he sat alongside the king himself and Lord William. They engaged in a discussion about Jasem's progress, their voices mingling with the clinking of silverware and the aroma of their shared meal.
"Did you manage to find individuals strong enough to fill your ranks?" inquired the lord, curiosity gleaming in his eyes.
Taking a moment to savor a bite of his meal, Jasem nodded at Lord William, who sat across from him, before responding, "Yes, unfortunately, only one person proved capable of passing all of my tests. I will need to venture out once again after finishing my meal."
