Viscount Albert has been quite busy lately. Of course there was war, but more importantly dance party is coming here. Village isn´t ready even a little bit. Everyone moved busily. Roads, clothes, food, drinks, guard and list just go on.
Althought this party is presented as thank you and congratulation party to the soldiers, there wasn´t single soldier how saw this as only by good way. Let you just rest. This is in everyone´s minds. There is still one thing that exited everyone. King will personally grant ranks to the most merits earned soldiers. There is a huge change that viscount might rise by one rank soon.
Of course this is huge change to make people come closer to each other. With that village´s business might rise even more than before. It is particularly important to leave good first impresion to everyone.
Thanks to that both Tetrao village and king are thinking the same way. Unfortunately that can´t be said to everyone else. Some nobles are thinking plans to act which would avoid what village and king are planning.
Like worlds energy and war, they don´t disappear they only change their state. War isn´t over just yet. It is just starting.
Also there is two focus points which didn´t take any big actions in war, but took huge importance in it. Soldier George and Aled Rowan where preparing to the ballroom dance. Unlike the last war they will take much larger part of the next fight.
“What are you planning to do next?”
“Of course after all this work I will meet my relatives. It seems like they took huge part in the fight. I would hope I could tell how much I did in the war. Unfortunately largest part was just call you here Aled.”
“True, but this is going to become way important part as time passes. You can´t lower yourself like that, George.”
“I will take your words to my heart.”
Aled haven´t had any time to come home to visit at all in a long time. He is actually the one how will inherit viscount´s lands in the future. His younger brother will most likely marry into some other family. Because of these reasons these two boys are in middle of huge marriage war, which they don´t want it to be.
In this moment many nobles might want to marry their daughter to either one of these two boys. Because of their studies, they both understand this without their family´s words. Both brothers are going to meet each other to talk how they are going to deal with this.
Taking this into the considerisation Aled is way more difficult situation than George. George should be the one to encourage other way around. Reason why Aled said these words was to encourage himself to the future problems.
“Hurry up and help us! I don´t care how your family is either way we must hurry. Visitors will arrive at any moment now.”
Like a lie carriage arrived as soldiers talk to them. Everyone knew that there is coming very important person since carriage had sigh of a royalty. People had gotten some used to royal people since they had fought together. But situation is different when someone how they don´t now come out of bright sky. Some soldiers had even gotten change to eat in the same camp fire as them. Difference is just to great.
“Sorry for the trouble, but we have arrived.” Carriage´s driver said these word while he waited person to get out of the carriage.
“Finally here. This took way more time than I thought.”

After the soldiers heard these words, they knew that this person is way different of the rest of the royals they know. This person is actually the first person to arrive and he is complaining how long it took. This is going to be difficult if the first person is like this. These is a change that rest might be even worse than this one.
“No matter. Can I come out? Is my father waiting for me?”
“Unfortunately the king isn´t he. He is actually waiting inside as letter said.”
“In that case I will wait for him to come here to meet me. I´m not going to walk he before father sees my clean clothes. This place stinks. First impression is very important.”
How can anyone say something so terrible so easily? Person how were inside was third prince.
Althought he isn´t a bad person, he is still bored to come here. When king orders his children to come somewhere, they most follow it. Some for the crown, make attention to their busy father or just for public eye. As for the third prince, it is yourth option. He doesn´t want that second prince takes the crown. So he is going to slow his movement down.
Third and second prince are same age, but they have different mothers. Because of that third prince has always compared to his older stepbrother. Besides they both has same name Peter. They birthed in different part of the country. That´s why they mothers knew similarity after they had been dew into the same name. To the this day their names has stayed the same.
He doesn´t like to be compared to his brother. That´s why he wants to do everything differently than his brother. But in truth they both were very similar to each other. For examble he too wanted to come here to the hunting trip, but his brother already had managed to do that too.
Soon king arrived to meet his son. He is perfectly aware of his mind set to his brother. Normally he would had allowed to give his crown to him instead of his sick brother. But king august can´t give his crown to thechild how thinks himself as weaker than his brother. When this mind set change then change to optain the crown rises.
”Welcome my son. Hopefully trip here was confortable.”
”Prince Peter Scorpioheart greets his majesty.”
Elsewhere situation was way better. For the time being Sepro and Herman has some free time. So they are just playing with the frisbee. There isn´t anything else their minds except the game. There hasn´t been any free time for long time.
Main reason why they couldn´t play at all was because of those two lost men. Qiulio has already been wound. It seems lie a bear had attacked him, but there was strange marks in his body. Everyone accepted this, but Sepro had been seen those kind of marks before. Gun marks? This was in his mind, but how could he know something that doesn´t exist.
Also there isn´t any clue about Samuel´s location anywhere. Everyone thinks that beat or some other animal has taken him elsewhere. So in other words finding him has been stoped. Sepro has been depressed because of this. So finally he has been choosen to play to take his mind out of it.
Suddenly wind took the frisbee, but to their suprise George revealed himself and took the frisbee out of the air.
”Uncle george!” We both shouted with one word.
We both call him Uncle George. It fits perfectly with both of us. Except he isn´t going to be used to be called as uncle by viscount´s son.
”Hello boys. Good to see you after a quite some time. I hope you didn´t miss me to much.”
”How did you find us? I think we didn´t tell anyone the specific place.”
”Don´t think there is only few ways to find a person. There is limitless ways to find a person.”
In George´s case he only tried one place to find the boys. And they were in there. He find out this place because of knowledge how the kids were.
Since they were depressed, he knew they wouldn´t be anywhere close to the battlefield. Also people were moving busily because of the party. So in other words they will be out of the people´s eyes. These thing make places some limited, but it isn´t enough. The most important thing was his personal knowledge of the boys.
Since they want to forget pain of time then the most logical place to them is ironically the place where they can see time pass easily. Sundial rock is the place.
George had an other thing to talk about. ”Herman, you should meet your brother. I think he has something to talk with you. Even thought he doesn´t know it.”
”I understand. Also I think you two should talk to after I leave.”
”I intent to.”
