3 To the other sides III

The audience has heard the shout of the commander-in-arms, so they quieted down, Gaz, also called 'The ancient,' not because of his magical power, he first served the kingdom under King Seph Henaria, proved his worth on the battle between humans and beastmen and was awarded an honorary medal.

Under King Henry Henaria, the current king's father, he was offered a knighthood, but he declined it for an unknown reason, so the king instead promised him as a successor of the commander-in-arms at that time, Leon Aurum. Ten years after the promise, the position was granted until now, his feats were told in many books, and his biography is currently being written by the famous book author, Hemerly Yolz.

Despite his old age, the man is full of energy, capable of doing feats younger men can do, even doing them better sometimes.

He's respected by all kinds of people, knights idolised his feats, men dreamed of his skills, rich men favoured him, women loved him and children liked his kindness.

Gaz nodded after noticing the closed lips of the people in front of him, then the audience shifted their attention. From the right side entered a man, wearing a clean white loosen long sleeves, a blue coat over it, black pants and shoes. What was noticeable was his golden crown over such handsome face, dancing lights as he walks smoothly, the crown was passed generation by generation, there are not many decors and intricate patterns, symbolising purity and service to the common.

" You may raise your head," and so did they.

"Good evening everyone, I wish you're all doing fine tonight, the party was decided too late, so we didn't have enough time to prepare, now for the reason of this...", the king spoke as calm and bright like a breeze.

" I will call names, and I will be glad if they walk in front," he continued.

"Ser Rain Sagitta," Ser Rain was in the centre of the crowd, so he had to excuse himself to be visible to the king then bowed, then walked to the front of the king, about 2 meters from the short stairs.

"Ser Percy Grum," Percy followed and positioned himself just beside Rain.

"Ser Lance Glad," Lance excused himself to a maiden, and an old man then followed.

"Ser Bore Gaun," he excused himself to Tristan.

"Ser Tristan Lunawon," Tristan started walking, everyone is looking at him with intensity, of course, everyone here already knows the reason for the sudden party, but all the confidential information remained a mystery.

The five men stand proud, with the chest in front, the men clothes were unique to each other except the silver crest on their chest as a symbol of True Knights.

"Now these five True Knights, I've given them a mission with such importance, as we all know the other five True Knights, have their tasks on their own, so the vacant one was chosen. These capable men will surely accomplish the task at hand but the estimated time is no assurance, they may accomplish it earlier or later", The king spoke but left things out, like the possible failure and deaths to all.

"I ask you to excuse these True Knights, but you don't have to worry about the kingdom's security, we will find ways for it," although it was peaceful currently there's some lurking danger from time to time although that the people are not too worried about it, trusting the king's way all the way.

"Now that I stated the purpose of the meeting, let the feast commence", there were about ten servers handing out drinks an hour ago, the number tripled, the food has finally arrived, although these kinds of food were not a rare luxury, the fact that it's a king party enhance their craving.

After a minute since his speech, the king stood up and went through the door he just came in, and Gaz followed.

The five of them were left standing in the same spot they were about to separate their ways when someone appeared in front of them.

"Wizard Howard", the man still looks as brilliant as ever, although last time he was wearing his usual robe tonight was different, "Wizards need to experience feasts like this sometimes, so I'm here wearing clothes I like to wear on such occasion," wearing a long bluish sleeves under a fur coat, white pants and leather shoes, " Look good?", the others were surprised by the wizard's immediate question, they barely personally know the wizard since they knew him as a busy one with no time to spare.

" Of course, your taste in clothes is really admirable for a wizard", Tristan answered with respect.

"Ohh... I think it's not that special but thanks Ser Tristan", the man laughed blushingly why shaking his fur coat, the others looked at Tristan with respect, responding to such question asked by a wizard is such a dangerous thing.

"Well, it's not just for the sake of finally using this wear why I'm here", Howard changed his tone.

"Personally, I'm here to tell you that we will begin the lecture for your mission, there's a lot of unknown in the field of dimension-travelling, and that's what makes it dangerous. There's no other who knows it better than Albus himself, so I expect five of you to be early tomorrow", the other responded, after seeing that the knights understood, Howard waved his left-hand goodbye.

And the night passed, and the lecture was given, 3 wizards were teaching at the same time, mostly it just recalled information presented at the magic academy, creatures and their weaknesses and ways to survive the specific situation, although the lecture is considered hard for ordinary people it's not the same with the five true knights. It started at 8 A.M. and ended at 12:30 P.M. and the real lectured begun unlike the morning, there's only one professor, and he was the wizard named "Albus".

A man on his 60s with his long white hair that rests on his back and his long white beard that covered his neck, with eyes that is almost closed but small glimmering blue light shimmers from time to time. His lecture is mainly about his specialisation, the "Infinite Dimensions", there are too little information the five of them recognised, most of it were not taught at the academy, so they paid attention more than ever, they asked questions when Albus halt from speaking, and he answered some because there were questions that he was asking himself.

Albus lecture lasted till 6 P.M., and he excused himself to the five of them. The room was considered small, with no windows opened, Albus exited by opening the door and closing it on his way.

"That was tough", Bore released a sigh.

"I agree", Lance dropped his pen, Albus wrote a lot of things on the board, and he did not keep up and just finished.

"We're going to be in a lot of danger soon, but somehow I'm excited", Percy added.

They were sitting on a separate chair with separate desk, above it was books about different subjects, they brought ones that were asked to be carried.

"As a True Knight it's expected that we get kinds of mission about this, I hope it's not going to be harder than last time", Rain put his hands on the back of his head in a relaxed manner.

"I was not there, but I heard it's a nasty job you had anyway we really don't have no choice If I'm the one who gets that dimension I will do my best so I can go back as early as possible, What do you think Tristan?", Bore asked.

"Huh?"
