510 The Stage Was Set

'Pah!'

'Pah!'

'Pah!

'Pah!'

"Thank you, brother."

"Anytime bro."

"_"

After a cycle of hard slaps, Sirius finally came back to his senses.... as he continuously rubbed his swollen jaws soothingly.

One should know that Astar was born with some herculean strength to him, so he's innocent slaps were still something that made a lot of people shudder.

Sirius looked at everything around him and felt like his brain couldn't really process it all.

He tried as much as he could to understand how their cars, running water, light and even latrines functioned..... but the more he tried looking into them, the more confused he got.

Where did the poop go and how was clean water coming out from this thing called a shower?

He felt like his entire view of the world had changed dramatically.

Baymard was indeed a magical place.

.

"Bro... it says to first go to the bank here.... so as to get Baymardian money.

So why don't we first go there and settle ourselves first before we inform brother Landon that we have arrived?" Astar said while chewing on some of the snacks that were left in the room for them.

'Hm...hm...hm...hmmmmm!'

"Here, have some water," Sirius said helplessly... As he quickly gave Astar a bottle of water from the fridge.

The poor guy had almost choked to death, just because he kept talking while stuffing more good into his already filled mouth at the same time.

Sirius looked at the Baymardian map in front of him and quickly spotted the bank within District C.

He then looked at the train schedule, and then decided that they would all take the train to go there.... and later take the bus or that cab thing back to their hotel from there.

"Okay, let's do that!"

And so just like that, they all left their hotel rooms, took the magical elevators down to ground level... before finally making their way to the closest train station around.

.

Getting on, they were automatically stunned at how different it was from their Limousine ride.

It wasn't anywhere near as luxurious as their previous ride, but this one had its own perks as well.

It could carry more people within it, and seemed to take a shorter time getting them to their destination..... maybe because there was no traffic?

Some of them sat on the chairs, while others stood up instead.

They even conversed with some of the locals within the train leisurely.. as they also observed how people got on and off the trains as well.

Once the door opened, if there were elderly people, disabled people or children around.... those who were fit and able, would give up their seats for the weaker ones.

Sirius, Astar and the rest of the men found that this act was a very noble one, and couldn't help but nod in appreciation.

This is how it should be!

"Next Stop: Azkaban!"

'Tututututututututututu!'

'Ping!'

The train doors opened again, and Sirius, Astar and their men all got out as fast as they could.

Apparently, they were now in District  C.

It was time to go to the Bank.

But what was a bank?

Well, they had a bit of understanding about it from what they had heard... as well as aimed info on what Landon had given them last time.

But in truth, they were still curious as to how this bank thing differed from all those money temples around.

And now, they would know.

Of course while they were currently making their way to the bank..... Landon on the other hand, wasn't just sitting idly as well.

.

'Host!

They're currently at the bank.'

'Hmhm....' Landon replied while opening up the system's monitors immediately.

After observing them for a while, he calmly closed his monitors and took out some paperwork from his desk.... before calling his secretary in the next room.

Now, it was time to connect the Crown Prince with his long lost family... and get that darn mission completed.

"I need you to contact Mr. Raul Jamingson from the Agricultural Sector within Government building 4 in DISTRICT C.

I have some things that I need him to work on, as well as inspect immediately."

"Not a problem your majesty."

With that, Landon dropped the call and managed his chin gently.

Raul Jamingson.

Many people within the government building just know him as a hard-working young man.

But of course, he had other identities as well.

He was also a prince of Terique and Astar's little brother too.

In short, his real name was Raul Parcely.

But since they decided to stay here and for the time being, he and his family had no choice but to drop their names for now.

This was the safest way and place to remain hidden from Nopline's sight.

Right now, they were all looking forward to winter's end.... so that they could properly fight and take back their empire when all the snow died down.

.

During his stay here, Landon would typically invite him over under the pretext of work... so as to help him with any issues or concerns that he had at work.

One should know that Raul was learning all he could, so as to aid Astar in running Terique in future.

Food was the key driving factor that made the peasants, as well as the people happy.... so he had to do his best to decrease starvation and famine across several regions in Terique.

That was why he wanted to learn all he could about growing food, properly differentiating good from bad foods, treating land.... and so on.

In short, he wanted to know all he could A.S.A.P.

So any concerns that he had, would naturally be addressed within this time.... provided the questions didn't divulge technological secrets in Baymard.

Apart from work-related issues, these meetings were also used to Express any personal concerns too.... and well as yo and secret messages between Queen Jasmine, King Micheal and Landon.

Once Landon had placed the phone call, he sat back and relaxed.... while looking at the system's monitors again.

Now, the stage was set... and it was only a matter of time before both parties met.
