The Thousand Year Dynasty
03. First Day
"So what's going on in the kingdom right now, Cas?" Lucia asked in her tent as they were discussing the latest thing that happened in Kotaraja.
Lucia and the four nobles, and Caspian gathered in his tent. They gathered shortly after they reached this northern camp.
After their meeting with the others earlier, Caspian got new news about the city from Luna. And because it was considered important news, Caspian asked to immediately hold a meeting and inform the other noble families.
Orland, Amithy, Madron, Dirk, Helen, and Jean were also a little tense waiting for the news from Caspian.
"According to the news obtained from Luna this morning, it seems that the kingdom has begun to send ten thousand troops to attack the northern forest" Caspian began to explain.
"It seems that because of this decision. Some influential nobles, such as the Roxan family and the Voryn family, began to denounce the noble act and began to make alliances between other noble families" Caspian's explanation continued.
"Would it cause a rebellion?" Lucia sounded worried. He did not want until the civil war that yesterday befell Estrinx also took place in Elbrasta.
"The possibilities are huge. If the noble continues to be tough and does not care about the opinions of the noble families. The possibility of splitting the kingdom into two factions is enormous. That's why I think this news is important to report to you soon" Caspian explained.
"I hope that doesn't happen" Lucia whispered.
The faces of Orland, Amithy, Madron, and Dirk looked extremely worried.
"Means we have to prepare for the arrival of many invitations" said Madron.
"And what are we going to do? Who are we gonna side with?" Dirk seems to be getting worried.
"The Nix family, Sebastian's branch family was close to the Bartholomew family. But it's also close to the Voryn family" said Orland, who appeared worried.
"With our absence from Kotaraja, obviously our family movements will be affected from the actions of the branch families" this time Amithy said. His sight looked seriously at Orland.
Orland remained silent. He also seemed to think. "Caspian, can we continue to get news of this noble family movement?" Said later.
"I will make sure we always get the latest news Mr. Orland" Caspian replied.
"For now we see the development first" said Orland later.
Realizing this made Lucia start to get a little depressed. He realized that it was he who indirectly caused all the things that now befall the city. Which causes people in front of him must work more, and continue to feel worried about their relatives. And all that he does is for his own ego.
"Oh, and Helen, make sure that your knights are always on the lookout for this camp. Because we can't tolerate an ambush like the one that happened yesterday again" Caspian said later, surprising Lucia.
"Ready, I get it" said Helen quickly.

A day later Aksa, Nata, and Lucia seemed to start visiting the situation in the northern camp. And when they were in the glass house Ellian suddenly heard a loud explosive sound coming from Haldin's tent.
Everyone who had just arrived was surprised to see this. Especially Jean, Caspian, and Helen who had just experienced a non-wearing incident related to the explosion. Nata, Aksa, and Lucia were also shocked. But they were not as sweet as the three knights.
"Daughter are you okay?" Jean shouted from a distance while running towards Lucia.
While opposite to them. The people who had been in the northern encampment for a long time seemed unaffected. They are still calmly carrying out their activities as usual.
"Don't worry it's happened a lot Ellian said later as Jean got closer.
"True, old bangka is indeed not good at work. He always endangers those around him" Katarina said later.
"Do you know Mr. Haldin too, Miss Katarina?" Ask Nata later.
"Haldin is my sister's ex-husband" Ellian said quickly.
"Your mouth is!" Katarina said as she pinched Ellian's mouth.
"Oh, it turns out so apparently" said Nata later.
Lucia smiled amusedly when she saw Katarina's behavior while talking about Haldin.
"I think tomorrow we should start arranging this place. Because in addition to the number of us who have increased, also such Altelir should not be near residential residents" said Nata then after they had left the Ellian greenhouse and were about to go to Haldin's tent.
The three of them continued to walk around. This time, however, it was accompanied by Jean.
"really. It could be dangerous" Lucia agreed.
"We will set up camp on the south side of the plateau" Nata explained, pointing towards the cliff wall on the south side. The one Lucia answered with a nod.
"And for now we must separate the encampments of nobles, knights, and commoners. In addition, it will make it easier for them to blend while working, also to reduce the tension that will occur" added Nata later.
"You mean?"
"The nation and the knight had a different mindset in looking at ordinary people. And that's because the upbringing of them is small. So we need to mix them up slowly. If forced, then all we will get is friction that inhibits work. And for now it's something we should avoid" Nata explained.
"alright. I understand" Lucia looked understandingly.
"Oh, are you here too, Mr Marco?" Suddenly Aksa interjected as he saw Morra's men with their heads covered in bandanas walking past them.
"really. You're Mr Val's friends, right? Glad you still remember me?" Marco was surprised to see Aksa and Nata.
"Well, this time I was called a friend of Val, usually a follower of Lucia's daughter" Nata told Aksa.
"Yes, the increase means Nat" said Aksa later.
"really"
"I'm sorry, did I misspoke?" Marco asked after hearing Nata's words.
"No, Mr. Marco. And what are you doing here?" Answer Nata hastily.
"I want to follow Mr. Val, and will continue to help him. Who knows, he will make me a student" replied Marco, who looked determined.
"Oh, as it turned out. Means stay up and I pray your goal is achieved, Mr. Marco" Nata said cheeringly.
"Thank you gentlemen" and after saying so Marco walked away and left the three of them.
Nata, Aksa, and Lucia looked at each other and laughed. Jean followed with a smile from behind watching them.

The next day the camp was divided into two. All the encampments of nobles and knights were above the southern side plateau. Including the witches. That place is called Camp Top. While slaves and laborers set up their tents next to the neatly lined greenhouses after the tents of the botanists and craftsmen. The place that was once called Camp North is now known as Camp Bottom.
While Lucia's tent was at Camp Atas, while Nata and Aksa's tent, was at Campan Bawah close to Couran's tent.
