”Master, commander Charl is here and his in the hall.”

”Let him come meet me here”

Then the old butler walks out of the room after a while an old man in his 50's walk inside the room. He is wearing armor and you can clearly see that he is an experienced soldier from the way he carries himself.

”Master, what is it you've called me for?”

”Charl how many times have I told you that just call by my name when its only the two of us, no need for formalities.”

Charl was the best friend of Viscount Garbel back in their village when they joined the army he was always been following Viscount Garbel as his right-hand man. Later when Viscount Garbel was given a title he appointed Charl as his knight and commander of his army.

”Hahaha, well what can I do you are a noble and my master”

Viscount Garbel could only shake his head at his friend remark.

”So Edison, what is it that you've really called me for?”

”Is it about the thing that the kingdom ordered us to do?”

Charl made a serious expression when he said this.

Six months ago, Viscount Garbel was summoned personally by the king. He was given a secret order that no one must know because this will affect the future of the kingdom. After returning to his territory he immediately ordered Charl to personally handle this matter. And so Charl instantly made preparation and then executed the order.

”Yes”

”So how are things going on?”

He looks at Charl with a stern expression, this thing is of utmost importance that mistake is not tolerable.

”There have been some tiny problems but nothing serious, they were still able to bring it to sea and are now making their way to Sanloris. But they have to take a few detours to avoid their pursuers and it will take more than a month before they arrive at Sanloris.”

When Viscount Garbel heard the everything is going well, he nodded in satisfaction.

”Good, the kingdom spent millions of gold coins just to acquire this item. Even if we have to make a few sacrifices it is still worth it as this will secure the future of the kingdom.”

Then he looks down with a frown then he tracing his chin with his hand as he is thinking of something.

”But the main problem is when it arrived at Sanloris and transporting it by land. We should never let our guard down, we should also assume that they already know that it is us that procure that item.”
