*creak*
Caesar opened the dining room doors and scanned the room, the butlers were busy picking up the used plates and wiping off the table.
"Where did Ahri go?" Caesar asked one of the nearest butlers.
"She did not tell us where she was going" The butler bowed and replied respectively.
Caesar nodded his head and exited the dining room, he walked through the palace hallways and walked towards his room.
He soon arrived in front of his door and twisted the knob…
*creak*
He stepped inside and examined the room, he didn't spot Ahri so he shook his head with a wry smile and sat down at his desk.
*tap*
*tap*
Caesar tapped his desk while observing the map that was still unfolded on top of his desk.
"I need to prepare a large number of food supplies and clothes for the journey… I wonder if one of them knows how to cook?" Caesar muttered out loud while looking at the map.
He grabbed a quill pen and started drawing a path, he circled all of the pit-stops they would need to make in red. Once he was finished, he folded the map and tucked it inside his suit pocket.
Caesar stood up from his chair and exited his room once again, he walked down the hallways until he caught sight of a random butler.
"Where is Sebastian currently at?" Caesar asked the butler curiously.
"I think he is in the servants quarters teaching the new maids" The butler replied after contemplating for a moment.
"Thank you…" Caesar thanked the butler and walked past him, he walked towards the servants quarters and observed his surroundings. The servants quarters was not nearly as grand as his residence, however, compared to a normal person it was still quite luxurious… The walls were painted with a pleasant olive green and the floor was decorated with a vermillion red carpet.
Caesar walked until he saw a large wooden signpost above two relatively large wooden doors...
[Training Room]
*knock*
Caesar lightly knocked on the door and waited for a reply.
"Please come in"
Once Caesar heard Sebastian's familiar voice he opened the doors and stepped in.
*creak*
"Ah, it was you, young master… you need not knock before letting yourself in" Sebastian bowed after seeing Caesar walk through the doors.
The trainee maids that were being trained also bowed down after seeing Sebastian's respective attitude, the maid on the far right, however, once she saw Caesar a sharp glint appeared in her eyes.
Caesar noticed this anomaly but didn't pay it much heed and walked towards Sebastian…
"I need you to prepare two carriages and plenty of food supplies for me in two days," Caesar said straightforwardly.
"How much food do you require? If you are going on a large journey we need to give you lots of dry foods" Sebastian scratched his cheek and asked curiously
Caesar stroked his chin "enough supplies for 5 to eat on a 2-month journey"
Sebastian's eyes nearly popped out and he leaned in closer to whisper in Caesar's ear "t-two months, where the hell are you going?" he asked perplexed
"Well, we don't actually need that many supplies… but you never know how much that dwarf will eat" Caesar whispered back in Sebastian's ear.
"Sigh, I will prepare the things you need. They will arrive in two days, you have my word" Sebastian breathed a sigh of relief and replied.
"Thank you, Sebastian, I will be heading towards the training grounds for today… I need to make sure my soldiers are still in shape" Caesar thanked Sebastian and walked out of the servant training room.
Once Caesar left the room, Sebastian turned around and glared at the maid that looked at Caesar with a sharp glint.
"Why did you look at the crown prince so disrespectfully?" Sebastian asked with a slightly angry tone.
"I really need this job but I will not bow to that monster, the hypocrisy this kingdom runs on is disgusting" The maid challenged Sebastian's glare and practically roared out.
Sebastian tilted his head and asked the girl in confusion "what are you talking about?"
"Hmph, everyone praises that man as a hero, but, my dad taught me that only those who save and resolve conflict without killing can be considered a hero," The maid snapped back
After noticing everyone around her went silent she smiled confidently and continued…
"He killed all of those elves and other humans without a change in his expression, a normal person would at least feel some guilt? I hate how the people in this kingdom look up to that monster as if he were an angel"
Sebastian shook his head with a wry smile "he willingly became a monster to protect the people in the kingdom… winning wars without killing is simply a fantasy" Sebastian sighed and said soothingly.
"N-no one asked for him to make that sacrifice" The maid retorted.
Sebastian just shook his head "I am going to transfer you to work somewhere else, you are still too young… maybe one day you will understand"
"Okay… why is no one on my side?" The young girl looked down and answered slightly sad

Caesar exited the servants quarters and headed towards the palace gates, once he arrived, the guards bowed respectively and opened the gates.
"Have a safe trip, your highness"
Caesar nodded his head and walked past them, he walked down the long staircase and swiftly made it to the training grounds.

"HUA"
The knights were all busy doing different types of training, some were running and others were practicing their sword techniques.
*clap*
Caesar clapped his hands loudly to gain their attention and walked towards the middle of the training grounds, the knights all shifted their gaze to Caesar and roared out.
"We greet the Marshall!"
Caesar smiled nostalgically and roared "Line up!"
"Yes, sir!"
The knights hustled toward Caesar and lined up in front of him… They all anticipated what he would order next.
"Do you all remember our past training, what we would do after each training session?" Caesar asked with a smile.
"A mock battle!" The knights all roared in excitement.
Caesar nodded his head "that's right, let us have one last grand battle, but, this time it's for fun"
"Hoorah!"
"Haha, I can't wait to see how much we have improved"
The knights conversed with themselves as they energetically went to the weapon racks and picked up their weapons. Caesar also walked towards the weapon racks and picked up two spadroons.
The knights look at Caesar with curiosity "why is the marshall getting weapons?" they thought to themselves and got into position at the corners of the training grounds.
Caesar walked to the middle of the training grounds and was surrounded by all of the knights, he held both of his swords tightly and roared out.
"If we do the mock battles the same as last time, that would be boring wouldn't it?" Caesar asked curiously and scanned the training grounds.
"Whichever group can land a blow on me will be awarded 20 gold coins"
"2-20 gold coins?"
"I can buy so many things with that much money"
"Hehe, I can stop by the b-brothel"
The knights all smiled widely and talked amongst themselves with excitement…
Caesar suddenly moved his feet and entered into an attacking stance "that is of course, if you can hit me" He said sarcastically.
The knights all gulped audibly and started to encircle Caesar…
"Oi, what's the plan buddy," Knight A said
"Who knows, I feel as though we are walking into hell's jaws," Knight B said
"If you die, I will take care of your wife," Knight C said
"Ok guys, I got a great idea… Hey, are you guys listening?" Knight D said
"I stopped listening after I heard you say the word idea," Knight E said
"Hey, can you fools hurry up!" Caesar roared impatiently.
In the middle of the training grounds, Caesar smiled widely, "Hopefully I can gain a percentage today… I feel like I am going to have a qualitative change once I pass 10%" he thought to himself as he raised both swords.
Please report us if you find any errors so we can fix it asap!
