Struck by marvelousness, the king was anxious to hear more.
“Tell me Greanous, why haven’t I heard about this group before?” Algon said with anguish, “If the Eagle Mercenaries where originated from here then why haven’t I heard about them before?”
“My king, you haven’t gone to the barracks or talked to the military head too often, it’s about time to start talking to them more frequently. Anyways, they are your army, your troops, you should know more about them than any citizens in this kingdom.” Greanous replied.
“Please, go on with the story, what about the Lost Kingdom? Who lives there? And why are there missions to scout it if we know about it already?”
A maid of King Algon approached them with a dish, carrying two goblets of water for the King and his mentor, just in case to quench their throat. They kindly accepted the water and drank to relieve their throat from dehydration. After the refreshment, King Algon asked one of his servants to bring some food to accompany and wine to accompany it, in case the talkers felt the need to eat. Greanous clears his throat, getting ready to speak up again, takes some more gulps of water and sat up right.
“It doesn’t seem as if you are active to the social world wise King Algon. I must admit no one really knows why this Kingdom is such a big deal. You see, now a days, people are starting to disagree the fact that such thing exist but, at the same time, are scared to go to the woods to see if they are right or not.” Greanous gasps for air before he continues to respond King Algon’s questions, “As I said before, my king, no one has come back from the woods, they’re most likely dead, so no one knows who lives and what is in the kingdom. I am curious myself but am too old to scavenge myself. Of course, if it weren’t that heavily guarded by demon-like creatures, I would gladly explore the woods by myself but the rumors and stories have held me back.”
As soon as Greanous ceased talking, the servant who King Algon told to bring food, came back with a tray with plates of unrevealed food. Another maid came and helped, dragging a table in front of them and putting the plates on it. When all the plates were put, they revealed what was inside by taking off the cover trimmed with gold. As the cover was extracted, the odor of the steak leaked into the air as well as the freshly cut tomatoes salad and an appetizing dish of chicken wings. As the man smell the warming scent of the food, their hearts fill with joy, their stomach gets ready to digest and the mouth starts to make more saliva.
“Greanous, let’s talk about this topic another day but now let’s enjoy what is in front of us now and look after our starving stomachs.” King Algon finished their talk and them both started to eat to their comfort.
