South of sumaka.
The red kingdom.
Hall of silver.
"so many pillars and a huge grand hall", said by a young boy standing in the hall of silver.
All of the sanguine wardens except Lancelot were present there along with the king lucien who was sitting in his throne.
Lucien looked at the young boy and said "how did you recover so quickly?"
"I really have no idea",Said the young boy looking confused.
Lucien sighed and looked at the wisdom eyed sam and made a gesture with his hands to ask any questions.
Sam nodded and looked at the young boy present in the middle of the hall.
Sam smiled and said "do not worry, we are not here to scare you or anything. We just want some answers regarding the current situation".
Sam tried his best not to scare the boy and make him calm to get some answers out of him.
Sam straightened up and smiled once more and asked "first things first what is your name and where are you from?"
The young boy hesitated for a minute before replying "I am sumera and I am from a city called jadareth".
The young boy hesitated and added looking down "it's a city in west".
All of the folks present there as well as the ministers started muttering under their breath, some even loudly disrespected the west and called the boy words like pest and unholy savages.
Lucien suddenly stood up and raised his right hand slightly and shouted "silence all of you".
The discussions and shouting vanished slowly as lucien looked at sumera and asked "do you even realise what are you saying boy, you can get killed just for saying that you like west but here you are saying that you are actually from there?"
The young boy sumera looked up slightly and said "I prefer truth over dishonesty".
Lucien sighed before sitting back at his throne and smiled lightly and gazed back at sumera with his blue eyes.
Lucien asked another question "why is Lancelot injured?"
"A guy covered in tattoos attacked us suddenly and fought with Lancelot until he defeated him", the young boy sumera answered honestly.
Lucien was confused as well that who this man was but he thought that it could be one of the enemies of Lancelot that wanted revenge because Lancelot used to fight a lot even now, so it was only reasonable that he would have so many enemies hot on his tail.
But the king was confused about one thing that how can a warrior even damage Lancelot.
Just then the young boy sumera looked at where the sanguine wardens were sitting, he couldn't control his excitement as he shouted "are you the sanguine wardens of the red kingdom?"
"I admire you all so much and one day I want to be one of you", sumera showed his excitement through his words.
The sanguine wardens were sitting at the right side of the throne each having their own seats.
Their seats were called "swornthorn circle" in which only the sanguine wardens can sit.
Each of the seats were engraved with silver work and golden armrest with a flag on its top signifying thier weapons of choice.
Sam had a spear flag, Renly had a mace flag, lasken had a sword flag, vishkron had a fist on it's flag and ashton had bow on it's flag.
Each of these flags were flying on their swornthorn circle and was blue in colour.
There was an empty seat much larger than the other swornthorn circle just beside from the king's throne. The swornthorn was of Lancelot's and it had a flag of sword as well but a grey wolf on top of it.
The sanguine wardens looked at each other when sumera shouted with excitement.
Renly laughed and said "it's really great that our reputation even inspires people from the west".
Lasken narrowed his eyes and chose not to speak.
Sam nodded and said "you are really from west".
The young ashton smiled and said "you can be if you are willing to do all kinds of hardwork".
As ashton was speaking, vishkron immediately interrupted "others here may be forgiving and calm but I can see through people from west. They are savages that pretends to be your friend but once your guard is down they stab their very own friend in order to climb up the ladder".
The young sumera nodded and said "Yes precisely why I left west and came to South in order to live my life as new and join sanguine wardens".
Lasken narrowed his eyes once again and decided to speak this time. He said "do not be offended when I say this but no one is ever going to trust you here in south. You cannot even live in one place for a long time, you would have to keep changing places after places in order to survive let alone joining the sanguine wardens".
The young boy sumera's smile faded as he looked down again at his brown boots covered in dirt and blood.
Sumera did not speak any further instead he smiled.
Sumara looked at everyone present there and said in a loud voice that can be heard by all.
"The south has around 42 kingdoms, 42 kings and one emperor. It also has around around hundreds of cities with one large market".
Everyone was quite confused as to what that young boy was saying and looked at each other.
The young boy sumera looked at one of the ministers standing there and asked "what is the name of the fourth king of red kingdom?"
The minister hesitated and looked at the king and stood there silently.
The young boy smirked and looked at another minister but this time it was the senior one and asked respectfully "how did South of sumaka survived after it's people were dying with hunger?"
The senior minister replied in confusion "by fighting wars".
The young boy shook his head and said "wrong".
The young boy sumera turned around and asked one of the advisors dressed in black "who was the emperor known as the king of swords?"
The advisor dressed in black smirked and said "it would obviously be our current king lucien".
Lucien looked at him clearly in disappointment and said "you are punished to read the book of spear for about seven hours a day".
The advisor looked down clearly looking embarassed.
The young boy sumera smirked and asked lasken "sorry for overstepping my boundaries but what does market of wizpuri does not have?"
Lasken replied honestly "don't know have to go there to check".
Then he looked at the king and asked "forgive me for my behaviour king but what is the name of the forest that comes before the market of wizpuri?"
The king did not give any answers and replied with a hint of smile "what is the point of all this boy?"
"the answer to the first question is "king rahakarin" and the answer to second is "by selling iron ores and following one king which knew about economics, the answer to third is "king symarion" and the answer to fourth is celestial swords and the answer to fifth is mangled pyri", the young boy smiled as he looked at the king.
"The point of all this is I know more about south then the people who lives here".
