–How long has it been since I started walking?- Count Kyujong wondered, removing sweat from his forehead, walking almost dragging his feet in the middle of a moor, he took off his handkerchief that covered part of his face, in a frank outburst of annoyance.

-Damn it!- He shouted with his arms raised -Damn it- He repeated this time in a soft voice, he lowered his hands and head, burdened by the incessant sun.

- ~Ahahahaha~ - He started laughing and continued on his way

Because the money had been spent on cartography, reports and lodging, the only way to meet with the Feudal Nam was to walk to the kingdom of the tamers, which was not really too far but taking into account that surely his face was drawn on pamphlets of "wanted", he decided to take the road less guarded and, consequently, longer.

He was only sure of something, he had been on his way for more than a day because he had already slept in the cold night, with nothing around that would serve as a shield against the weather.

He watched the sky in search of the star that served as a compass for his destiny, he was still on the right path, and now he felt his throat so dry that he could have torn the hand of whoever had a little water in that precise moment. Kyujong fell to his knees exhausted looking at what he still had to walk.

-Damn- he whispered thinking of Moon and Kim the perpetrators of all his misfortunes. New energies came to him, thinking about how he would finish them.

-Wait ... You'll see- He continued with momentum and the night came, he just stopped to catch his breath, his stomach resenting the lack of food and water, his skin cracked, in other words he was screwed ... But he had a goal.

And he reached it, after hallucinations and about to lose his mind he reached the southeast entrance of the kingdom of the tamers, fortunately the border regions had drinking fountains for immigrants, he rushed to the one for pack animals and threw himself in the water, while with his two hands he quenched his thirst and then washed his face and hair, he exhaled with relief and looked around, no one in sight.

It must be a sign from the gods, they were on his side.

Then he lay down on the floor where there was shade and prepared to take a little nap.

When he woke up the sky was painted in purple tones and his clothes were already dry, when he got up he found a newly sprouted orange tree, with his renewed energies he was able to conjure his powers to grow a fruit of said plant. Yes, the gods were on his side.

Eric was watching one of the gardens on his newly acquired property, taking note of what he wanted to remove, posing his fingers on rose bushes he reduced them to ashes.

-Feudal Nam– He was called by a person in whom he had lost interest a while ago. He waited a little longer for the other to start the conversation again because he did not know what to expect.

-Very unfortunate events have happened- he said -And I have been forced to leave everything I got behind, that is why I am here, I put myself at your disposal, I know I can be helpful to you-

-Helpful? - He asked in a neutral tone -I don't need your "help" the last time you did nothing but hinder my affairs-

-Things did not go well with what we planned, but...- He waited a few seconds and walked until he was next to Eric -With what you plan to do you need extra hands-

-What do I plan to do?- He asked irritably at the presence -What are you talking about?-

-Kim won't leave the beast's side for even a second... Whatever you plan to do, you'll need a private place in the same palace-
