Crystal immediately whispered to herself ” you idiot still didn't get it ”

After Crystal dressed up properly, someone knocks on the door. She immediately asked who is it. The voice replied ” it's me Aljun I brought the foods you ordered ” She immediately opened the door.

Aljun asked Crystal if Eric played hide and seek again. She replied to him” no he is there sleeping soundly on the bed. ” Aljun immediately looked and found Eric sleeping which made sighed a breath of relief.

”OK wake him up tomorrow at dawn we will be leaving after breakfast.” ” Yes, Sir Aljun” replied Crystal.

Aljun left the room and went this own room. But a knight running towards him made him realize something has happened. The knight immediately spoke to Aljun.

”Sir Aljun a messenger has arrived just now he wants you to receive it personally. ”

Aljun immediately asked the knight to bring the man to him. A man wearing a black cloak entered the building and went to Aljun.

The man spoke ” I have a message from one of our spies. ” Aljun immediately nodded and said that they would talk in his room.

Aljun was seating on his bed and asked the messenger to immediately give him the letter.

Aljun was reading the letter he held in his hand and was giving a vibe of anger.

He immediately called one of his men and asked them to give the messenger food, and water as well as a room to rest.

Aljun was having a meeting with the captain of the knights.

”Sir Aljun what was the message contained in the letter?”

”It says that the route we're taking to go back to the kingdom, skirmishes had already started, the next town that we might be heading tomorrow might be under siege so they suggest we find another route. ”

Currently, Aljun was in the kingdom of Clovis which was on the western part of the Larkum Kingdom they were taking a route leading to the Kingdom of Amas. His plan was to take a route going to Amas. He was planning to go around the Kingdom of Larkum as their military campaign are focused on east and west side of them. The north was the country of Kyle which was not at war with Larkum.

The east which the Kingdom of Salaya was already falling in the hands of Larkum as it is where the war started. So he decided to go west as it was safer because there haven't been any military clashes yet. So even it meant longer distance he chose to go west as it was safer. But after the message, he was very angry after his plan became useless.

He immediately started a new plan with the captain of the knights. They are talking about what route should they take after the forces of the opposing kingdoms started to clash.

Both of them know that Verielle still hasn't clashed yet with Larkum. So they decided to go to the port city of Zir. They were gonna travel through the ship as it was the safest route. He didn't use this route first because of the rumors of sea monsters sighting has increased. But he heard a Gossip that Duke Allan's navy has subjugated the monsters, so they finally betted to go south.
