"Are you allowing me to go there?" This time she could no longer restrain herself from asking questions.
"Yes—"
"Thank you very much general!" He immediately thanked her and even got on her knees in joy.
"Just in case, I'm not done yet." The general said, "You will not go there just to do what you want."
"What ... do you mean?" He wondered.
"I order you to bring back the crown prince to the king's palace in Paldreko." General's order.
"Bring back the crown prince?" Aya stood up. "Why me?" Aya asked incredulously and she still thinks the general is just joking.
"Include your whole team." When the general said this, Aya realized that it was not a joke.
"I do not understand. The duty of this station is to guard the border and not to guard a prince. Aren't there any assigned soldiers for that task?"
"It is the duty of all the soldiers of this kingdom to ensure the safety of any citizen under his rule especially the heir to the King!"
"But—"
"A soldier shall obey the orders first of his superiors and then ask questions." The general stopped him.
"I won't!"
"What did you say?"
"I won't accept the mission." The general could not believe what she said.
"And when did your head start to stiffen?" Aya did not answer so the general continued. "Isn't it what you want the most? To go to Paldreko to study magic? This is your chance." The general still Convincing her.
"That is, if we can still get in the Paldreko alive, but I think, what if? No no never mined because I still want to live."
"What are you saying? You'll just picking up the crown prince."
"General, I know the situation of the royal court. I also know that the King's illness is serious. And the prince you wan't me to bring along is the heir of the kingdom. Who do you think the prime minister will kill first? The King or the heirs?"
The general did not immediately answer and for a moment there was silence between the two of them.
The general stood up and approached the window. "And do you think the prime minister will keep us alive if we do not obey the king's command to fetch the prince? If you go to the prince we still have hope, you can save him."
"Then the prime minister is squeezing us. But why? We are not interfering with them ah."
"Because I'm a thorn in his throat. He knows he can't sleep well as long as I'm alive."
"When the prince dies the King will have no heir. He, as prime minister, will be the new king when the current king dies with a serious illness. And he also wants you to lose in his way ... when that happens he will appoint a new general here and I'm sure that he chooses the one who will follow everything he commands, perhaps because he wants to occupy the other kingdom? "
The general laughed at Aya's words. "The late King Demuni was in good health when I last saw him, so I did not expect that one day I would hear that he had died of a serious illness. Then I was immediately transferred to the border, perhaps the prime minister is hiding something that don't wan't me to discover."
"Do you mean that you suspect the prime minister has something to do with the death of the former King?"
"If you can get in to Paldreko I want you to know that thing." Extra order to him by the general. "And I also want to give you something."
"The chain of truth? It was given to you by the former King, why would you give it to me?" Aya wondered.
"You and Noknok are my only family. I want you to return it to the real and worthy owner." General's answer.
Aya thinks that the general is probably referring to the prince who is the heir of the King so she reached for it.
Aya went to the forest and made sure no one followed her.
"Dog! Dog!" He called the pet dog that the general had asked earlier.
The truth is that the dog is not confined to the medallion and she lets it roam in that thick forest.
A few moments later, a huge dog approached him.
In her nightmare, she could just carry this dog but now he is as tall as she is.
The pet was very happy to come to her while his tail was still dancing in the air.
It would have licked her but she immediately avoided it. "Don't! You lick me, you're really disgusting. Insert your tongue!"
The dog immediately followed but only for a moment and it also stuck out its tongue.
"Yayyy ...." Aya said and ran immediately
