Lieutenant Dragonblade rides slowly into the capital city Soldrien, mounted upon a sinewy horse bearing an ivory mane and coat. The young soldier's face reveals his usual carefree expression as he is guilty of being very relaxed when not in battle. Greeting everyone he passes with a smile and a quick bow of the head, he made his way further in the city towards the military stables.
"Lieutenant! Lieutenant!" a local blacksmith who was a friend to the soldier calls out.
"My friend!" Antonius tugs on his mount's reins, causing the horse to stop.
"Have you read the parchment posted around the city? A lord has been stripped of his title and status!" the blacksmith asks the soldier.
"Interesting.. but you know I care only little for politics." replied Antonius with a curious tone.
"It is much more than just politics, Lieutenant. It is a letter from his majesty himself. A conspiracy, an assassination attempt!" the blacksmith answered.
"I've been out of the city for quite some time and I'm preparing to head out again in a week. It's been difficult keeping up with the news. I'll be certain to read it my friend, thank you." Antonius bows his head then rides towards the stables again. As he neared his destination, he saw a message tree being crowded by various citizens.
"Relampago, stay." Antonius says to his horse just as he dismounts. He then politely made his way through the chattering crowd and begins reading the parchment, each eyes widening slightly after he finished. "Interesting indeed..."
