Chapter 281 - Next Steps to Take (2) (2/2)

”As his majesty said, we are expected to finish this mission by the said time frame or less.” Dimitri said. ”As you know, Jennovia is currently with an internal conflict in their borders. But as you can see, we have one fragment in their lands. The ones in my group should be more vigilant, knowing that there might be conflicts in our mission.”

Looking at the map, there is one mark inside the Jennovia territory, two in Grandcrest and one in Alvannia. Because of this, Dimitri's group will be the one to take on the danger inside Jennovian territory to get the fragment in that area, and the other one in the western art of Grandcrest. That just leaves our group with the much easier fragments to get. The one in Alvannia, and the one in the eastern part of Grandcrest.

”My group will have the much easier task with the other two fragments in a friendly territory.” Regaleon added. ”We will be departing in two days. Before departing, we need to stock up on necessities and make sure our horses are fully rested. I expect that the number of people to leave here will also be the numbers that comes back after the mission is accomplished.” Regaleon's voice was a firm command.

Regaleon has always been a compassionate but strict leader. He cares for his subordinates but still maintains his role as a strict commander. Because of that, he has earned his men's trust. I can see in their eyes the dedication they have for their commander and king.

”Understood your majesty.” The men gave their salute to their king and commander.

We know that in every mission there are always unseen danger. But Regaleon has full trust in his men that they will survive this journey.

”This meeting adjourned. Do the things you need to do before the missions starts in two days.” Regaleon ordered.

The men bowed their heads and go on their ways to prepare. I was by Regaleon's side the entire time of the mission briefing. Seeing Regaleon as the king he is, made me so proud of him.

'I cannot believe that this great man's wife.' I felt pride swelling inside of me.

Regaleon looked at me with gentle eyes. ”Are you sure you really want to go on this journey as well?” He asked me. ”You can stay by your parents' side and wait for our return. Even though the locations of the fragments on the eastern side is our territory, there will always be unforeseen dangers out there.”

I shook my head. ”I want to come as well.” I said with all my resolve. ”I also want to partake on this journey with you.”

'And also, I do not want to part with you.' This selfish reason I only kept for myself.

Regaleon and I have been separated for two years and just thinking that we will be separated for another two to three months, I think I cannot take it.

”If my wife insists then all I can do is to abide.” Regaleon said while pulling a strand of my hair in his fingers and smelling it. ”But in this journey, you better be always by my side. If not, be sure that Sir William is there to protect you. These are my conditions.”

Regaleon's eyes bore over me. He was serious with saying such conditions. I know that he wants me to be always safe, that is why he made such conditions in this journey.

”Hmm, I understand.” I nodded on agreement. ”I will always stay by your side, my dear husband.”

'I will never part with you ever again.' This was my silent promise and wish.
