Chapter 16 - King Theoga and the Warrior

A month has passed and Cappelli has not received his money

Tomorrow is a day when the people of the village meet with Capelli to count the gold. It is a day of the year in which a big celebration is held and a portion of the money is allocated to people with needs, the disabled and the poor, as the men of the village bring their families and children while wearing the best winter clothes. 66

That night, Sula was screaming: "Tomorrow is the day and tomorrow the village will gather with me. I do not have new clothes to wear, nor do my children. Last year, I went out to them as if I was the queen of all." They were confused about my children's clothes, and they asked Sula where he bought these clothes. I told them, "I and Kapili traveled far to India." I bought those clothes 67

 Sula came out of the hut looking for Capelli, carrying a burning log from the tree. She walked and shouted, Capelli, where are you? Go home. I'm afraid the wolves will eat you. 68

Cappelli was sitting near a tall tree and he drew a circle around it. Sula headed towards the tall tree 69

She knows that Cappelli always likes to sit by the tree under which his mother was buried 70

 Kapili's mother was called Mirata. Everyone loved her. She helped the villagers. She was wealthy. Her father was the king of Theoga, who owned the Castle of Monsters. That castle was full of treasures.

Theoga and the villagers had found books, novels, and inscriptions of a dragon's head on the walls of the castle, indicating that monsters had inhabited the castle for centuries. 71

When Mirata was a girl, she used to treat the wounded who were injured in battles, the soldiers defending the castle, and one night the monsters that existed 100 years ago, led by Shogun, wanted to attack the castle. 72

The warrior Ab Capelli had analyzed those inscriptions, those pictures of monsters, and those numbers, and he knew that within days the hidden monsters would appear to invade the castle. The 100th day of its disappearance was approaching. 73

So he raised the tree poles around the castle like a net and collected small, sharp branches and huge trunks 74

The warrior had prepared an elaborate plan, which King Theoga approved of
