Stay Waiting for Time

    In the morning, some leaves fell and were blown by the wind. Dew drops slowly drip, so clear when seen. The air feels very refreshing, perfect when exercising on the grass and moving freely like a gust of wind. From several places, there was a sound that complemented each other, the sound of the rustling of a broom that rubbed against the trash. Normally, the palace garden would be cleared during the day by the attendants. Now, some young people are doing the task that was promised yesterday.

    Their age is actually not much different from Veroa, even they are older. But, the charisma emitted by Veroa was like heaven and earth when it had to be compared, making them like dealing with someone who had a myriad of experiences. As the sun rose slightly, they heard the sound of training in the field. Since the task of cleaning was almost complete for now, they intended to peek at the person who was training just to treat his curiosity.

    They have entered into the reckoning of Veroa, the plan of those who are about to peep has Veroa foreseen. Using this, he can punish them with the kind of punishment associated with strengthening the body.

    As they were peeking at the – people who were training in the palace training ground, a Veroa man surprised them. He was a soldier leader, got a duty from Veroa to punish the – people who tried to steal military knowledge from them. He suggested to give a punishment that makes them military-style achievements, certainly something positive and has a good impact on their bodies.

    “Are you the little thieves that were meant?” his presence that was not felt by the five young people, made their hearts almost dislodged when suddenly there were people talking to them. Under such conditions, even though his voice did sound ordinary, it would still make them very surprised. They certainly peek like that not not not not feel happy, but tense from time to time and with a voice that sounds, the tension that is enveloping them reaches its peak.

    Simultaneously, they slowly turned their eyes back, the direction the sound was coming from. There was a burly man wearing a uniform similar to the – people who were practicing were standing there, staring at them with a look that seemed to be suspecting them with what they were doing.

    Realizing that they had made a huge mistake by peering at those who were training, the youngster called Brother by his three comrades stood up and bowed, behaving respectfully to the person in front of him. Others took the initiative to follow. Then, he said “We... We just made a big mistake, huh? Ahaha..we were unaware of that, because of the great curiosity we had, made us subconsciously look at the soldiers who were training. If Mr...”

    “Garrend” the burly man immediately understood and helped the interlocutor who was about to mention his name. He was also late to introduce himself which is actually a less ethical action when you want to interact with someone who is not yet known.

    “Ah Yes, Mr. Garrend. If, Mr. Garrend forgives our actions, we will forget everything we just saw” this young man called Brother is trying to prevent bad things from happening, he said, for example, from the beginning they have good intentions, it ends up happening bad events.

    “You have made a mistake, it cannot be looked at with one eye. Moreover, I'm sure, no one is sure of what you just said about forgetting something intentionally, a moment that is not known when, even though you feel that you have forgotten it, you even remember it” someone who is in the wrong position, it will be difficult to avoid, let alone the mistake was witnessed directly by the eye.

    They can't dodge anymore. Only one way out, they must obey if indeed they will be punished. Already lucky, the person in front of him was still willing to listen to his words first. It can be ascertained that Garrend has a disciplined attitude and is very obedient to the rules.

    During the day, they were immediately sentenced on the training ground, watched by – people who were there. Great also for the entertainment of soldiers who are too focused on training and fulfilling obligations.

    The five young people are now doing physical movements plus a few kilograms of weight attached to each person. Body lift, movements that make abdominal muscles hurt, running around the exercise field, and the like is done by them while adding weight to the body that makes their stamina and energy drain faster. Not for an hour, sweat has poured wet their clothes, especially under the hot sun. Their breaths were heavy and irregular. Until it had been seen, they seemed to have reached the limit, Garrend halted the punishment and let them rest for a moment.

    What they did did was a little mentally treatable for the soldiers after a long and strenuous training. Seeing the five young men being punished, they felt nostalgic with the beginning of their joining the royal military.

    The punishment for doing this physical activity lasted for a week, every intermittent day, as the soldiers were scheduled to do the exercises and it was used as a rest period.

    At the weekend, one of the leaders who became the destination of the mail whose area was closest to the City of Tungsten had sent a reply in the form of a thank you letter, for having told him things that had been kept secret by the mercenary guild and the suggestion to treat him. Veroa in his letter also gave advice to treat them by giving similar advice that he had done, without complicating his guild master.

    “One person has given a positive response, one team has been reduced back. Well, by the time the time comes, a surprise will have your heart dislodged, Arthemis” a glass of sweet tea in her hand, staring out of the window frame, he said, Veroa muttered and smiled imagining the outcome he would achieve and the target of annihilation that would receive a miserable fate later.

    The – pigeons he had flown, some had passed through slightly steep terrain. However, with the help and protection of his magical army sent to escort each pigeon, they were finally able to send a letter to the destination safely.

    Each side feels underestimated, it is thought to have no self-respect, so that the shameless party does not arbitrarily interfere in the affairs of his government. They were furious at the actions that Duke Arthemis had taken, but they did not rashly vent their anger at the mercenary guild master, they all did the advice given by Veroa. In fact, his own father did.

    In the end, a stage play will take place in the Kingdom of Rome, enlivening the coronation of the Crown Prince.
