Next morning.
In the training hall
Edlin woke up early in the morning and was lost in thought. As he wondered around, he eventually reached the training hall and saw Albert.
Albert was training with his sword and he was thinking while training. How can a boy who is 15 or 16 years old killed an orc's Chief so easily .
He was so absorbed in the training that he didn't even notice Edlin
Edlin found it pleased. To see Albert's training.
And when Albert finished his training he noticed Edlin.
Albert - Ohh sir Edlin.. You are here .
I hope you had a good sleep .
Edlin replied.
Edlin - No .. I didn't Sleep all the night . As soon as morning came , I went out for a walk .
I don't know why , but I just couldn't sleep.
Albert - Ohh..
Have you eaten breakfast ?
At this Edlin's face lit up with a smile.
Edlin - No .. I was...
Albert - Come with me , let's eat together .
Edlin was overjoyed hearing this , and the two of them left together to eat .
They were sitting in a hall and Albert said .
Albert - This is where soldiers eat and you're welcome to join us too .
Edlin nod .
Normally soldiers eat their own food but Albert was the deputy commander so he ordered the food .
They were having breakfast when out of nowhere Albert said .
Albert - Sir Edlin. You don't remember who you are . And to regain your memory you will need help . I will be honest I want to accompany you.
Edlin was confused.
Albert - It is the order of lord Zack to accompany you because he think you will need help .
Edlin - Yes I will need help because I know nothing about me about this world but you are deputy commander. You have responsibilities here . If you come with me .
Suddenly Albert interfere and said.
Albert - Sorry to intrupt you but don't worry about my responsibilities. Lord Zack already sent a message to the king . He asked for new deputy commander and I know the king will send someone capable to take responsibilities of deputy commander .
"This is just an excuse; the real purpose was to keep an eye on Edlin while being with him."
Edlin - Sir Albert first off all please do not call me sir . If you are coming with me as a companion . So please treat me like a companion."
"So it's decided that you will come with me and support me in getting my memory back."
Both agreed with each other, but Edlin still had some questions inside him that were visible on his face, seeing which Albert said..."
Albert - Edlin please do not hesitate to ask any questions.
Edlin smiled and asked a question.
Edlin - You mentioned about the king . "Please forgive me, but I don't know anything about what's happening in this country or the world… and about the king here, Albert — could you please tell me about all this?"
Albert happily nodded and said, "Why not!"
Albert - "Edlin, I know you don't remember anything, so listen — this is our world, which we call Eldon. There are about eight kingdoms in total, including ours — the Aria Kingdom, whose ruler is King Elvin the Second. You are currently in the White Castle, which is the center of the Aria Kingdom."
Edlin was very surprised to learn about his world.
Suddenly, Albert said, "
Albert - "Edlin, you should know that you killed an Orc chief, who was the brother of the Orc King, Khandak. And Khandak will definitely seek revenge, so you will have to stay alert at all times."
Edlin - "I still can't believe that I killed an Orc chief. I've heard that Orcs are incredibly powerful, and yet I took him down so easily… but how? And why don't I remember any of it? It just doesn't sit right with me. I need to get my memory back as soon as possible."
Both of them were deeply confused.
There were too many questions and too few answers.
But one thing was clear — whatever secrets were hidden in Edlin's past, they were powerful enough to shake the present… and maybe even the future.
"And just then Edlin said"
Edlin - "I need to meet Lord zach so I can thank him — he has helped me a lot. So Albert, can I meet him?"
Albert -"Why not!"
They both agreed with each other and left to meet Zack. Edlin was happy that he would finally be able to say thank you to Zack....
To be continue...
