Alec has forgotten about his appointment with the king of the village while he was preoccupied building his gym centre. After carefully shaping it, and testing it from time to time, he felt that the weight was finally right.
With eagerness, he slowly began lifting it. He had barely lifted twenty and he was already exhausted. "How long have I let myself go?" Alec asked with a frown and placed the weight back on its hook.
He made a little adjustment to the weight, as he felt that one end was heavier than the other. It took him another five minutes before he thought he was right.
However, before he could test it, he began hearing commotions from the front yard of the house. Alec frowned and stood up from the bench, and just before he could make sense of what was happening, Philani opened the door and stared at him coldly.
