As the sun rises the galloping horses exit the courtyard.

Inside one of the two black carriages Julio and Gideon began to discuss what they plan to do next.

"This is dire Gideon", "You must pack up your things, This may as well be your last taste of freedom", Julio sighs with resignation.

Upon seeing his superior's face Gideon suddenly burst out, "What's the King thinking!, Has he lost his mind", He weakly shouts

"We don't know what's going on in that man's mind", Julio frowned.

"It sure as hell is stupid though", Gideon quiped.

"You may cooperate with that man Old Coot but i sure as hell will not, He doesn't deserve your loyalty Old Man, He's just abusing his position, waving his staff and running this country down", Gideon blurted in the spur of the moment.

Julio surprised momentarily, he understands where the young man is coming from.

"You may not understand me Young Man but Alfaris is a great man", Julio sighed "He really is the pillar of this kingdom, you may be unaware because you're young but in his hayday he can raise and destroy a mountain in a minute".

Julio with a grin on his face turned to look at Gideon "But you're right, he doesn't care for the people but he's the best option we have for protecting this kingdom".

"How long will we have to wait, how can he have so much vitality looking like a raisin, he knows so much sorcery huh?, don't you think he has some secret to his power hidden in his chambers?"

Julio jerked, intrigued by the idea "Stop the nonsense kid you're overthinking".

"But think of it carefully mister Julio, magicians are so rare in this country, there's no way his ancestors taught him magic you've seen them, they may be strong but they're not magical, have you seen them fly?".

With a sudden realization Julio fell into deep thinking recollecting his memory of the past serving the King as his confidant, The King managed to use magic after 2 years learning from Mellisa a teacher *But those are only magic theory, yeah.. how can he use magic?* realization hit and turned to fear *There's no way he's a- No no no, I'm the one overthinking things*.

The King's magical prowess was passed off as him being a prodigy but it's so rare that he's only one of two similar cases of someone with no mystical ancestry that awakened as a magician, the other one being the Empress of the fallen Wystria Empire.

"No Gideon i have never seen them fly, let's stop it here"

"But what if he's a-"Stop! Gideon, shut the fuck up and let me rest I'm tired!"

Gideon closed his agaped mouth, astounded by the sudden outburst of this easygoing man, he meakly turned away to look at the window.

They are now currently in the outskirts, he managed to calm down looking at the weeds full of morning dew with the sparse trees around, coupled with the fresh moist air and the sunrise shining at his face helping him relax and fall asleep.

"This brat is so full of spunk it's too hard to be around him" Julio soon followed suit.
