Moments after the earthquake, someone walked out the door. He was sturdy and did not have a single hair on his head. He has a beard along his chest.

“Gosh! The disaster again!” said the person in an annoyed tone.

After that, the man turned towards Uzan. “Prince Uzan?” the man sat down next to Sara. Sara who was a little surprised shifted her sitting position.

“How do you know me?” ask Uzan.

“My name is Dubal. I am a former soldier of the kingdom of Oslar who lived in Kastala and I know both king Endan and queen Sofia. What are you doing here?”

“We are traveling to recover this state” said Uzan.

“Are you kidding? ” says Dubal while grunting “Where are the other warriors?”

“Not” says Uzan “No soldier. Only two of my friends are sitting here. Next to me is Edgar.”

Edgar simply nodded while observing Dubal.

“The woman sitting next to you is Sara”

Sara smiled as she slightly looked away when Dubal saw her. Dubal doesn't care. His attention turned back to Ozan.

“Oh yes?” Dubal while playing his beard “What is their position?”

“Edgar is one of the best warriors in the Palace and Sara is a Klerik.”

“Klerik huh? Interesting once” said Dubal “So, how will you stop this continuous earthquake?

Uzan was silent for a moment. He hesitates to share information about magical materials with strangers, but as he is a former soldier and confesses that he knows her, the prince decides to tell her.

“For first, we need Silver” Kagigar Fabric

“Only that?”

“Ya,” says Uzan. “That's all you need to know.”

Duba crossed her arms while smiling. “Above Giraf” hill

“How do you know?”

“Ya,” says Dubal. “My wife and I travel there often. There are many things to look out for. The test to get the magical material was only one of them”

Sara felt a little stunned when Dubal already found out about the existence of the Kagigar Fabric Exam.

Dubal twisted his beard. “If the prince wants, I have some information about Bukit Giraf and various kinds of things related to it. That'sallthatis. However, of course I have to earn income equal to what I will do. Maybe I'll just help around Giraf hill. For the next time, I will go home and just hope that the prince can finish the royal task soon. How?”

“Alright,” Uzan approve. “How much did you ask?”

“Actually, five hundred Roll if you are a regular traveler. Because you're a prince, a thousand Roll. How's it?"

Edgar breaking table “What – fuck ka-“

“Edgar, wait!” prevent Uzan. “This guy means well. He also wants to get income equivalent to the services he provides.”

The prince looked at Dubal for a moment. Dubal raised an eyebrow as a sign asking for approval on the prince. He seemed unconcerned with Edgar who was looking at him with a sharp look.

After a moment of silence, Uzan smiled. “If I give you two thousand five hundred Roll, what else do you offer?”

The man laughed out loud – bahak while hitting the table. Sara felt uncomfortable and had to shift away from Dubal. The three of them just looked at the man. After his laughter subsided, he said, “You did take advantage of your status as a prince.”

“Of course!” said Uzan convincingly while leaning and crossing.

“Indeed all the money that Uzan brought had no use for restoring the Kastala earthquake. However, if there are people who can ease in this task, then this opportunity cannot be missed. Especially if it can be more.

Finally, the man said, “if that's what you want, I'll give you additional services.”

“Baiklah” Usan said.

“Do we agree?” the man put his hand out to be saluted.

“Yes, we will leave soon after this” Uzan shakes the man's hand while wagging. “I will reduce the amount of money if you take too long to prepare yourself.”

The man stood up and left.

After the man left, Edgar said in a huffed tone. “Uzan, are you sure? I don't really like this guy.”

Uzan. “To be honest, I don't have any comments on that. However, we have the opportunity to get information and members to collect Kagigar cloth quickly. So, I don't want this opportunity to be missed.”

Edgar sighed in annoyance “Alright! Sara, you don't like that guy either, do you? No wonder you feel uncomfortable when sitting with that person.”

“No, Edgar” says Sara “ Prince Uzan right. If He has the information we need, then we can not waste – leave this opportunity.”

“In addition,” says Uzan. “I gave him more so that there was an impression that we were using him. Not otherwise. He was a former soldier of the Kingdom of Oslar. If you are old and experienced enough. Be nice with him. Maybe you can learn a thing or two from that ex-soldier.

Edgar was silent for a moment. After calming down and thinking mature – mature. After a while, he finally sighed and said, “Alright.”

After that, the waiter came to give the to Uzan and his two friends.

“So I heard people commotion from inside” said the waiter “Is there a problem?”

“We have just arrived an angry bald man – angry himself,” said Edgar while crossing his arms.

“What is true?” The waiter looked worried.

“Not” Uzan rectifies “We just negotiated with the bald man earlier”

“Sgratitude” said The waiter, “Tuan Dubal does like to be angry – get angry yourself. His wife, Mrs Natalia also often reprimands him.”

“Nyonya Natalia who works as a Physician?” Sara asked directly.

“Iya” said the waiter “Have you met him?”

“I am a Klerik” Sara introduced myself “I have just been healed by Mrs Natalia.

“Oh, yes?” said the waiter. “Surely you can instantly recover right?”

“Iya.”

The waiter smiled. “He can cure various diseases from the magical as well as the ordinary. They are both not natives of Kastala” island

“It's amazing,” says Uzan. “Do you know more about Dubal and Mrs Natalia?”

“They feel good when spoken to. However, they were not open when questioned about their life in Oslar.”

“Why?”

“I don't know either. As if – would they keep it a secret”

“Good. Thanks for the meal.”

“Happy enjoy.”

The waiter entered the shop again.

“With what did Lady Natalia cure you, Sara?” ask Uzan.

“By encircling the Azure ribbon on my wrist,” says Sara “It is amazing because not many healers know about the realm of Magicians and Clerics let alone provide her magical tools.”

“Again,” says Edgar “What is the function of the tape?”

“To recover Magical power belonging to the Witch or Klerik”

“If you combine it with the information we will get from Dubal,” Uzan cross “Mistress Sara or Mr Dubal does have a special relationship with – things magical.”

“I think it's true, prince Uzan”

“Alright, we'll discuss it later.”

Uzan, Edgar, and Sara began to drink their tea.
