"Now comrade, let's have some rest! Tomorrow right after dawn, we shall embark on a long trip to the imperial city." The woodsman told the youngster, Baba.
"Fine, My Commander!" answered the interim aide-de-camp.
Baba then rose and went to his room inside the administrative headquarters, leaving behind the Commander of the imperial forces Babida alone with the carcass of the slaughtered sheep.
The lumberjack rapidly cleared the place, for it was dirty and bloody after the sacrifice of the mutton and its grill.
Done, Babida went immediately to the main guest room inside the administrative headquarters that had become over the days like his private room.
