"Yes, especially when he is on a mission, he never miss to visit"
"Commander always pay respect, asking for guidance and strength"
"Because of a fatal disease, his brother died, the moment it was born"
"That is why it was buried here, far from the settlement, to prevent the spread of its disease"
"I wonder if that child live, what could it be when there are two Silverknights fighting alongside with us, since Sir Edoh already retired."
While the supreme knight is paying respect, the Bastion are behind him on a distance waiting till the supreme knight is done.

"All the time commander!" one of the Bastion replied.
"On your lead supreme knight!" the other member of the Bastion also said.
"Alright! then lets go!
Into the Estian Kingdom, in the meeting hall.
A group of knights are discussing about a certain topic.
"Is it really necessary to give them that mission huh?"
"Yes, that would benefit them, they can acquire more experience and enhance more their skills on combat."
"Do not worry mate, after all the Supreme Knight is with them."
"My only concern was, they are dealing with a strong enemy, and we know who is that."
"Yah yah, we all know that, but don't question it anymore. Albert knows it, he knows who the enemy is."
"That enemy you are worrying is already old, he can't fight those knights who are younger than him hahaha."
"Remember Jericho, Bastions where trained by Albert, and you know who that man is, right?"
"That is a fact, so now let's get to the point, The king want us to prepare for the war. So let's begin meeting."
The knights that are present on the meeting hall, are the members of the Circle of Chiefs. Chiefs are Knights that is in charge on different divisions, from Armory, Tactics, Logistics, Biostatistics, Administrative, Court of Justice, Kitchen and the House of The Marshal. They are having a meeting, to plan and to talk about the preparations for upcoming war.
At the same time on the other room, in the same castle. In the chamber of Albert.
Albert is having a drink with the king, in his chamber he is sitting on a chair with a table on his side, facing the window. In the table there is a grape wine and a glass. Albert is talking to the king who is in front of him. The king is facing the window while he listen to the words of Albert.
"You are indeed right Albert, you are thinking way ahead. You are very much right on hunting them down." the king said to Albert with a tone of voice that is impress and proud.
"Yes, my king, thank you for approving my recommendation." Albert replied as he smiled and continue to speak;
"Because they might get in our way, or worst they will take advantage on us the moment we focus on the war and while we are on the battle field. They might as well get the opportunity to infiltrate and cause chaos on our kingdom." Albert then said and continues as the king stayed standing in front of the window.
"They might done it to the Maslih too, but we know that they will likely to cause us troubles..."
"...After all, we already know who we are dealing with, and what he is capable of. That old man is going to be captured. The Supreme Knight and the Bastion are more than enough to handle him. And when we already capture them, we can already focus on taking down the Maslih." Albert said.
"You never fail to amaze me Albert. Those criminals will get what they deserve, and the Maslih will fall for what they have done! ...They dishonored the treaty, they disrespected us and they killed our men with disrespect and dishonor! They will pay for it, We will cover their land with their own blood". with a threatening and angry voice the king said.
"It will be done my king." Albert answered with proud and assurance tone of voice. The king then just smiled after he took a sip on his glass, then Albert speak;
"By the way my king, where is Edoh? I haven't seen him since we came home." Albert asked the king.
"Edoh is on his way to Yellowcape" the king answered.
"I see, and who's with him?"
"He just go by him self"
"He should brought some knights, it's to dangerous to go on by his own." Albert then stands up and as he continue to speak;
"I guess, he want to investigate more."
"There is no need to seek for more answers, it is clear what the Maslih had done. You know Albert, Edoh will always be Edoh" the king then replied to Albert as he turn around. " "Let's have a toast Albert" with a smiling face and the happy tone of voice, the king said to Albert.
In to the Maslih Kingom, King Muhnir is on a chamber, sitting and waiting for someone.
