publish date:
2020-09-04 23:00:59The king called Arden to the capital city of the kingdom of Avalon, Atlan.
To meet the king and talk to him at the 1st of April 551, which is 7 days from now.
The journey began at the fortress of Castro, Ady and the 3 great dukes waving him goodbye as he passed the gates of the fortress and make his journey toward the capital city.
With his horse, equipment and other things, Arden started the 3 days long journey to the capital city.
He is riding his horse, the very same horse he bought 4 years ago when he started his squire time.
When he saw a smoke up in the sky, Arden rushed to that place and saw some bandits is raiding the village of Ailreh.
That's when a villager came to Arden and begged for help, Arden quickly dismounted and unsheathe his sword.
A bandit came charging to him and quickly got slashed by Arden's sword, then another came and then another came, all ended up lying in the ground.
The bandits is a small party, it should only be a portion of their large army.
Arden comes to the head of the village's house to ask him about this.
"These are mountain bandits, they always talked about protection money, when we can't pay them, the killed our villager and take the women,"
Arden is shocked to hear about this, he then left the village after the villager said thank you to him.
It's been 5 days journey since there is some delay and the wall of the city could be seen from a distance.
Arden go to a local pub, and order a room for himself at the pub, Arden slept for a day.
Woken up from the bed and start dressing in the best way possible to meet the king.
Walking from the pub to the keep of dragonmane, feeling a bit nervous, but entered the throne room in the most calm way.
Going inside and met the king, still a bit nervous but followed all the court etiquette the dukes taught him, and kneel in front of the king.
King Astria, in his late 40 but is still handsome with his brown hair. Is a wise ruler of the kingdom of Avalon, he started the talk with a small greeting.
"Arden, one of my glorious knight, I heard of what you did in the war against Bisvirb," "thank you, my lord"
"Here is a silver medal and a sack of aurens consisting of 300 for you, use it well. And as a new knight, perhaps you want a fief?"
"Actually, there is one that caught my attention, the village of Ailreh"
"I'm confused. Why did you want that village? If that is your wish, i'll grant it"
With a thank you and bowing to the king, Arden left the room and go back to his room at the pub.
The next 3 days spent on the journey to the village, by then the villager already knew what happens.
When Arden arrived at his new home, all the villagers are happy and thankful for what Arden did, the night is spent with celebration of the new lord.
Managing a village will be hard for someone that is unexperienced. The first problem is about the bandit.
The first thing to do is to protect the village, a hundred of Aswen are used on making a wooden barricade and fence, a hundred more are spent on the weaponry.
With all skill Arden gathered and with all the volunteers from the village, the squad of soldiers are made, it's not the best but will do for now.
One day, when the men are training in the field, the bandits came rushing down from the mountain.
The soldier unsheathed their weapons and fought the bandit bravely; the bandit panicked when the villagers fought back, with heavy casualties at the bandit side.
Arden gathered all the volunteer to eliminate the bandit base, to end this thing for eternity, the volunteer amounts to 3 dozen of men.
They followed the trail to the hideout and found it, Arden and the volunteers charged the hideout, the bandit panicked and can't fight back without their equipment, quickly surrendered.
The bandits are eliminated, all the men are very happy, there is a toast at night and everyone is relieved.
Arden invested a hundred of his aurens to mining ore at the mountains, it turned out great, there is much iron and other ore at the mountains.
They sold half of ore and the half other are stored for making weapon, Arden got is two hundred aurens.
He invested them at making trading post and repairing the road.
When the builder is repairing the road, a merchant came to Arden and asked to buy his horse.
"Sir, can I buy your horse?"
"Why though?"
"I see it's a rare breed of horse, with extreme power, but they almost go extinct since they are weak when they are young"
"Sorry this horse isn't for sale"
"Ok then, no problem and thank you for your time"
Arden decided to keep the horse since he knows about the horse.
Arden like his village so much that he did all things for his village, the tax is always low, he is not searching for wealth instead for more people to join the village.
But still, the money in his pouch still piled up, the soldiers is getting better and better too.
Arden is very bored one day, so Arden goes fishing and caught a lot of fish. Suddenly, a heavyweight got caught at his rod, he fought it and after a minute of fighting that feels like eternity.
He finally caught it and starts walking at the same way of the river. He tripped and fell down to the river.
He wakes up at the shore of the river at the wood, and didn't have any ideas where he is and doesn't have any aurens or equipment with him, only the clothes he is wearing.
The first thing that in his mind is to find a village or a town, perhaps a city.
