The walk wasn't long since he was managing a the granary near the Rose Garden. This is where all the actual military training takes place. My grandpa is general and my father is second in command.
The camp has many cabins with obstacle courses and sparing areas. The closer we get the louder my grandpa's swearing gets. "Hurry the fuck up! You stop your whining and go!"
He continues swearing until he hears Rose's voice, "Grandpa~ it's me~!"
Our grandfather turns to see Rose running towards him and jumping, so he catches her into his embrace, "How's my child doing?"
She sweetly smiles, "I'm good grandpa~ you look very young! Did you fix your hair?"
"Hahahahaha, Of course I did my Angel! Now what brings you here?" He asked me mom. He normally doesn't like being interrupted when he is in commander form.
My mom looks downcast, "I see that we are unwanted here. We shall collect our things and-"
My grandfather quickly interrupts her, "That's not what I meant! Um, how may I be of service?" He quickly said with a bright smile. As you can see my grandfather is a sucker for family, especially women and my mom.. well. She's a first class swindler.
My mom recovered and said in a sweet voice, "Thank you father~ it's your grandchild, Azrael, that wanted to see you."
He had a surprised expression and looked towards me, "You want to train?"
I shook my head, "I will wait for my 4th birthday in a couple months. I'm here with a business proposal!"
Everyone except Rose looks at my questionably. Rose is currently attempting an obstacle course with the officers hot on her trail just in case she is about to get injured. They all know how mad their captain gets when his granddaughter is injured.
My grandfather looks at my mom, but she is just as surprised as him. He looks at me with a serious expression, "I'll give you 5 minutes, spill everything."
'Always direct and to the point with me.' I nod and said, "Save the questions for when I'm done. I want to raise a bee farm in order to sell honey to the surrounding villages. I have located 2 bee hives and I doubt I'll be lucky in finding another one. What I need is money to hire carpenters and a blacksmith to do the Bee homes and money to hire temporary workers to help me with the process. I'm not strong enough to do the work, but I can direct them. The work won't be as taxing as farming, so I plan on hiring disabled veterans. I'll start with 4. I also need money for a seamstress so that we could get thick clothing, so that the bee's needles won't reach us. If everything goes well then we should be selling honey in less then a year. I know this is asking for a lot, but this is a high reward job. The farm will be in my backyard for now since it's secluded and large. What do you think?"
He stares at me with those piercing emerald eyes, but guess what? I also have the same eyes, so I stare as intensely as I can into his eyes. A minute later he asked, "What do you know about bee's? I won't lie that this will be extremely profitable, but you have no experience. What do you know?"
I look at him and nod, "Fair point, but give me 2 months worth of money and have me prove you wrong. If I fail I'll stop and pay you back later with either money or military service without pay."
He looks at the ground and thinks. He looks at my mom, "Do you agree with what he says? Military service is serious"
My mom bites her lip and looks at me with a worried expression, "Are you sure you can pull this off?"
I smile, "Yes mother I can!" She is still worried, but sighs in defeat, "Then I agree with him. Please lend him the money."
He nods and looks at me, "Go around town and get an estimate on how much things will cost. I have 4 people in mind for the job. They are extremely loyal, but they are lost at the moment and I believe this can help them. Come back in a week. I'll have the money if it all looks well."
I smile, "Thank you Grandfather!"
He shakes his head, "My name is Moses. When we do business you talk to me formally. You're a businessman now and I'm your investor."
I collect myself and smile, "I apologize for getting overly familiar with you. What i meant is thank you for your contributing to our business. May this all go well!" I extend my hand out to shake his.
He smiles and shakes my hand, well that what I think, but my entire hand is surrounded by a monstrous hand.
We leave and get home. Once we are home my mother tells me, "I believe in you son, but know that if the requirements aren't filled then you will have no chance, but to join the military."
I shrug my shoulders, "Joining the military was a matter of time for me, so I lost close to nothing. He tried to act hard, but the only consequence he gave me was that. In addition, he didn't even ask me the process or how I'll be doing the work. It'll be a lot of money and real investors will need to at least have me offer my home and myself into slavery if things go wrong, but treated me like family."
My mom was shocked, but then gave me a sly smile, "At first I thought Rose was the only manipulative one here, but it was you who is truly the sly one. You even fooled me! Ufufufufu~ like mother like son! Just imagine if your business takes flight. You will be the only one able to mass produce honey! We''ll bee Rich! We''ll bee Royalty. See what is did there?" she asked while raising her eyebrows. I roll my eyes at my mom's antics. It's no secret my mom is incredibly cheap and often bargains the price lower than what it cost to produce it. 'Nevermind let's get down to business
