Chapter 15 - IX. Preparation

The sun rises, as the winds blew from afar through west. People woke early in the morning, by which they slept early that midnight. It's a day two for the laborers that paused their work due to the lockdown that the Euzanians people of the Warrior Ieuzen  declared. Only those who works from the market get to continue paying for their living.  Yet, because of this, people now needs answers since they are tired waiting for nothing which including those laborers thinks that they have paused job for nothing. 

It caused a lot of trouble for General Fourth since they cannot speak to the public of the matter they were holding.. but since the domain is open, as Methedeces decided to work for them, his decision were practically final wherein he proceeded to go for the soldier that invited him in. 

:Cratters Spring, west. 

Methedeces, who was holding the door knob, going out.. 

"Hey"

Turned around. 

"Good luck"

; Selene smiles, wishing good luck to Methedeces. 

"Good luck also, live as you wanted"

"Don't forget to me and to comeback stupid"

Chuckles. 

"I'm not dumb to not come back"

; Methedeces smiled and turned his back around where he opened the door and stepped outside. 

Selene didn't felt empty, but happy. Happy for the fact that Methedeces stood on his decision which made Selene adore him as a friend more. The door closes.. Selene started to stretch making her look like a positive person to begin the day with. she first cleaned up the house, staring from the bathroom to the so-called living room.  Everything was squeaky clean, but as she clean up the whole house, she pulled out something on her pocket which she found on Methedeces's under pillow. Staring at it, she looked weird and confused, still.. she hid it in her pocket thinking that it's a private thing owned by her friend. 

Selene sat down waiting for the hours to passed by, she haven't felt hunger but exhausted. She keeps on staring at the ceiling, empty headed and quiet. 

On the other hand.. Methedeces, who arrived at the Euzenki Kingdom, looking for the soldier who told him about working at the domain, he kept asking soldiers around, describing what his characteristic and appearance is, he asked more that 10 soldiers standing outside but doesn't have any idea of who was he describing.. for the 11th soldier, a thought that if he still haven't found that soldier, he would not continue doing the thing. 

"Uhm.. excuse me? Sir, do you mind if I ask?"

"You already did, but what is it? make sure that it is something important because you're here in the middle of the prohibition of going out"

"Y-yes.."

"Uh.. have you seen or do you know a soldier who is about near 6ft tall? husky voice, and who was assigned at the market to look over, he offered me a job and I think he is also responsible for--"

The soldier took off his hat and speak..

"You mean me? were you looking for me?"

"Yes! Indeed I was!"

"Heh, I remembered you, you're the only boy that I offered this job about, I'm glad you accepted the offer.."

"Thank you"

"Shall we go then? you're lucky, you can't find someone here describing who's that near 6ft tall with husky voice because there's a lot of us here especially that the General asked us to"

"Well, I- uh, I'm sorry Sir, I don't know how to describe the one that offered me this, but yes I'm in luck for finding you, I almost gave up"

; Methedeces, holding onto his nape looking down, feeling embarrassed and lucky. 

"Here.."

Methedeces, dazing inside the domain, it was all neat and by just looking at him, he looks fascinated. The soldier interrupted his amazement by calling him again and again.

"Hey"

"Hey.."

"Yoo-hoo"

"Boy"

"Hey!"

Startled. 

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry!!"

"Stop apologizing and come with me, I know that you are fascinated by the place since it does look alluring, but I have to take you where you are headed, everyone is busy here

continues to walk. 

because the General haven't talked about the lock down yet"

"Yeah? about that why is--"

"Do not ask. I didn't mean to be rude, but go ahead, she the one who's going to take you in"

knocks. 

"Hello? excuse me"

"Come on in and take a seat.. oh and please close the door"

Methedeces nodded and closed the door as he entered. 

"So you were invited to do the job here I see. I must guess.. you did something righteous that Sir DeMatelian offered you this?"

"You have guessed right? I guess.."

"So, do you live with your parents? what did they say?"

"I actually don't, and I'm apart from my father.. I haven't seen him since I was young"

"Sorry to here about that. What did you do for a living? you don't look malnourished after all, do you provide your own needs?"

"I'm actually a Euzaniar and left to live my life alone after loosing someone at the attack"

"That must be terrible, but I'm very glad you survived, it's a matter of fact that you're here to live because you were given a chance. So going back to your objective, You are assigned here at the first floor to deliver papers sent in the palace. And to whom will you send it? of course, front of this room is the reader, Sir Jade Gammu. He's in charge for the messages delivered here. You can expect that everyday there's a report, so I'll give you your schedule.. I can tour you on where you're going to stay in. Shall we?"

"Oh yes, Ma'am, I would like to"

"And of course, you can't insist; chuckles"

Ms. Lisa, who was in charge of touring Methedeces inside the domain. She speaks as she tours Methedeces inside, but because of that was a Military place, she didn't take him upstairs, but instead, took him into the Phase 2 near the Palace where he would be staying for the rest of the week. 

"So are we good?"

"Yes. Thank you very much"

"Mind your schedule"

Methedeces smiled as a response. 

Ms. Lisa, after touring Debby went back to her place and finish her duties. 

..She was also a researcher inside the palace, smart, kind, and sometimes solemn. Although, she was one of the most trustworthy person inside. Because of her dedication, she was well-respected, almost near level of the General that doesn't even change when she's giving humorous jokes to her fellow laborers. Even though she is a very smart and keen researcher, she was never taken out to the palace in the search of nitros nor gave her a mission about this, but she is never ignorant of what's happening outside. 

"It's not like I'm being locked up.. but I bet I have more important tasks to do so.."

...

"She's probably locked up, like hidden?"

; Methedeces's thoughts came up after Ms. Lisa left him in his room. Looking around but doesn't look comfortable.

"I guess I can just live with this, what do I expect. I never knew that I'd be far from the palace this way"

yawn. 

"Let's call it a day"

A sudden knock on the door kept banging as Methedeces was about to close his eyes for a rest. 

Flinch!

He quickly crawled to open the door.

"Andrawn? yes?"

"Ye-yes!"

"I believe you have a schedule today, and right now. Hmm?"

Quickly, he grabbed his bag and searched for his schedule. 

Holding the paper given..

"Sh*t I didn't checked this when I arrived here"

"Didn't your Ms. Lisa told you to check it?"

"Oh, she did, my fault"

He quickly proceeded what he is tasked to do so, delivering mails throughout his first day, as he enters the room of Sir Gammu, he was asked. 

"So, you're new here, but you got quiet a lot of work?"

Methedeces scratched his hair. 

"Ah, yes, smiles. However, that doesn't matter, I'm here to work.."

"Sorry but not sorry, things are always loaded here since this is the main office wherein news were delivered to the general.. I'm glad for you to understand"

"Oh.. I-uh, I'm grateful that I've got to work here, for some reasons, why?--"

"Hmm?"

"Why don't the letters go to the Lord's office?"

"That. Isn't something you wouldn't mind, there are things here you see.. that only the general could be in charge, if I had answered your curiousness, you can get back to work"

"Sure! sorry"

Still. He left the room with confusion. Leaving the room, Sir Gammu was headed down, looking at him while he closes it, then continues to read the delivered letters. 

;Inside the Domain, Euzenki kingdom, phase 1

"Sir, I supposed that we should settle things today"

; Lt. Col Viess suggested, talking to the General, sitting in front of the window looking outside. 

"We should. Gather all the Euzenki warriors from Division A to  C. Let them know that all citizens should take care of all their supplies for 14 days, needs. None of what we talked about about the danger should be out"

"Shouldn't we announce the caution?"

"Probably, but it would create a panic to the whole, so we must protect them after knowing the truth. As the safety is already implemented to let them trust us"

"I trust your conclusions, then should I follow the instructions of yours"

"Well then.."

As ordered, Lt. Col. Viess called the presence of Isle, Niel to help him inform all the soldiers of Division A to C.
