Chapter 31: Preparation for Laplan

Stone Bricks around the edge of the castle, stacked up forming a neat design, That's right: The Castle of Princess Arias.

A beautiful castle, right in the middle of a beautiful city. If this city was in modern times, Tourists would come flocking, phones and cameras in hand, ready to take as many pictures and videos as their hearts desire.

Instead, however, There was just one man from modern times, Ford Reski, Alone, sitting in the garden of the castle, contemplating what to do.

The Princess was captured, and it was up to the Knight, to save her. That sounds exactly like the plot of a movie, and that's exactly what Ford was thinking about.

Not a slither of sadness occupied his face. Instead, what befalled, was the look of excitement.

Another long adventure awaited Ford, and he was all for it.

Finally, his first real adventure in this new fantasy world. That's what Ford was thinking, and exactly what he was waiting for.

"It's been 5 years... I've done enough grieving, time to take action"

Ford said, as he started to stand up.

"I will save you, Arias... Wait for me.."

********************

Back at the castle, Ford ran up the stairs and barged into the room Rose was staying in.

Rose: "what do you want?"

She said, as she rolled her eyes and sighed.

"I need your help... I plan to save Princess Arias... In order to do that, I need to find King William... You must know where he is, right?!"

Rose sighed, and said-

Rose: "Of course I do..."

As Ford heard that, he couldn't help but crack a smile. He tried to hug Rose, but before he could, she threw him out of her room and down the stairs..

"Ahh... I'm still not used to that.. That damn brat, she never told me where to g-- Huh?"

Ford looked next to him to see a piece of paper laying on the floor.

It contained coordinates. Ford could only assume it was for King William's location.

As to be expected though, he had no idea how to read coordinates.

There was only one person he could ask, and that person was none other than Ladis. He happens to read coordinates very well.

"Hey, Ladis, could you help me?"

Ladis: "Hmm, depends. What with?"

Ford pulled the piece of paper out of his pocket.

"I need you to read these coordinates for me!"

As Ford approaches Ladis, He hands him the piece of paper, and-

Ladis: "hmm... This seems to be the location of a castle in Lorton, Which is in the state of Laplan."

"Thank you.."

Ford turns around, starts walking, and thinks to himself "I will never know how you're able to read coordinates.. that should be impossible".

Now that Ford had the location of King William, and Arias, he would be able to start the battle, but not without help.

He would first see if Cecilia would help him, which she ultimately agreed. After that, He would see if Vulgart would help, which he, would also agree.

Then, he would seek the aid of Reed Ober and Redis Hakul, and both of them had agreed to help.

Ford, at the time, Thought that would be enough help, but also couldn't help but think that he might be mistaken.

After all, this upcoming battle, might be the biggest one yet..
