"Halt, who goes the- Sorry your Majesty!" a patrol group formed from former war prisoners asked before bowing down when they realize who they just stopped.
"Let me and my group pass. And keep up the good work." Ardent ordered, before giving them a well-deserved praise.
The patrol group nodded meekly, letting him and the carriage pass.
"... I think I have seen some of them before." Stella muttered.
"Yup. I took them down before giving them the choice. Serve or die." Ardent replied in an almost cheery manner. Stella, Agatha and the carriage driver gulped, as it add to their wariness of the young Mage.
"What do you plan for me to do?" Stella decided to ask. She always wondered why the young Mage bring her with him.
