Chapter 3: Chapter 3: Armistice
* The royal academy of the Duchy of Elysion, from what I read in Fried's books is where we educate the future leaders of this country, but potentially those who will lead it to ruin. From the start I found it dangerous because if the enemy launched an air raid he could easily destroy the future of the country and its descendants with it. But anyway, it didn't risk considering the devices of the time. The air war was at a standstill*.
-Master Cailum, your snack.
-Master Cailum, your schoolbag ...
*Are you wondering why I am given the master? My arrival here made a lot of noise and I quickly surrounded myself with comrade. Alas I know how to judge people when I see them and only a few are worthy of my trust. 3 factors made this success. Already the national anthem has united hearts around me, then the aura that I naturally emanate and finally my identity. My mother is the sister of the Duchess of Elysion. In short, I am the Duke's nephew and therefore the most important person in the country. So I categorize my friends as 3 *.
-Master Cailum come and eat with us.
* Those who call me this are influenced by my social status and clearly want to step into the good graces of my father *.
-Hey Alfar are you coming. We're going to have some football after the canteen.
-Later I have homework to catch up.
* Those are the ones you can call friends. They don't care about my social status, but we're just good friends at school. And finally there was the last category *.
-Something wrong Zell?
* Good old Friedich. It was with him that I ate every day in the canteen *.
-No nothing at the moment.
* Until then we were only two at our table but one day a new head landed right next to us. She was a girl from my class, gorgeous with long blonde hair *.
-Hello.
* I felt all eyes on us and I could easily guess why. She looked at me, fixing me with an amused smile as I continued my meal without saying a word *.
-Hello. Pleased to meet you. *She says*.
* His voice was much softer than it seemed *.
-My name is Arianne Rhod and you?
* Arianne Rhod. Her father is the head of scientific development, at school she is known to be the most beautiful of the class. Even more she was brilliant and had good grades, her outfit is impeccable and she is polite all the time. At least according to Fred's info *.
-Alfar. * I replied *. Zell for close friends.
-Go for Zell then.
* And I hoped it would end there frankly but *.
-Said it would tell you that we get married when we grow up.
-Yes OK.
* Eeeeeh, what is this? I replied by pure reflex, I never wanted to marry her we have known each other for 2 minutes. As I wanted to clear up the misunderstanding I saw Fried staring at me smilingly with a thumbs-up as the rest of the males glared at me *.
-Good lord if only ....
* Later during the break, she and I would meet in the back for a chat. Fred was watching the area in case someone showed up *.
-What is this circus? * I asked *.
-Haha calm down. * She laughed *. It's just that I get love letters every day and my record is full so I told myself that to get in a relationship with .....
- Do not say more I see where you want to come. * I cut *. I don't mind playing comedy, but in the future avoid playing this kind of trick on me.
-Sorry. * She said in a sincere voice *. I couldn't see any other way.
-Tell me Zell what is your goal in life? * She asked *.
* Rule the world and live to be 100 years as an absolute dictator. At least that's the official version. I must first reach the high authorities of this country *.
- Seeing your father's job, it seems obvious to me that you will join the army.
* After all, this girl wasn't stupid *.
-I do not see the link. What am I going to do there? * I say casually *.
-It's because of your words when you arrived.
* My name is Alfar Zell Cailum. And when I grow up you will all work for me *.
-At that moment I knew you were aiming for the top. You are not like the other students who come to benefit from the influence of their parents. You have a goal.
* In the end taking her as a wife doesn't seem like such a bad idea although she is casually dangerous she seems to have partly understood what kind of person I am *.
-Let me help you. * She said resolved *.
* At that moment I smiled as I put my hands in my pockets. She had no idea of my real intentions, poor thing, but her help was so kindly offered *.
-Very well. I'll tell you what I think.
* The next day my father took me into his sedan towards the Duke's Palace. I was finally going to meet my uncle, the all-powerful Duke of Elysion. My father is secretary of state for defense and therefore he is often accompanied by soldiers like General Linneberg. Fried's dad was definitely bigger than mine with his black beard and burn mark on his forehead. His uniform was fine too and you could tell he had experienced many battlefields. When I saw him I put myself at attention to you and him as well before smiling at me *.
-How are you doing Alfar? You've grown up well since the last time. Friedich didn't lie to me.
-Haha thank you Uncle Bald it's nice. * I say smiling *. In fact, is the conference going to take place today or are we going to make peace with our neighbors?
* My uncle put me on the floor and looked at me seriously *.
- Where Did you hear that?
-I'm a secret agent. * I answered stupidly *.
-Since you are a secret agent, I will give you a secret mission.
-Oh yes oh yes...
* Once in the palace, this old fox made me sit in a sort of resting room where I was surrounded by assistants *.
-Oooh how cute he is.
-What is your name little?
* Ah lala strongly adulthood. Acting like that is really not for me. But hey still 8 years to shoot and I could join the military academy. From where I was I could see emissaries from other countries parading before my eyes *.
- Madam, who are these gentlemen? * I asked politely *.
-It was....
* Ares had given me a rather special ability, that of being able to analyze brain waves, in that I could tell if a person was lying or not. And this woman was nervous despite her beautiful smile *.
- Say are we going to lose the war?
-Of course not. * She asserted *. The Duchy of Elysion is invincible.
* Again the waves panic. Something was clearly wrong but I couldn't say what. According to Ares today was the exact day when peace would finally be signed. If it was true it could be really bad because I was not even in a position to influence the course of events. But that's exactly why I was there *.
-Madam, can I go to the bathroom?
-Yes on my big one ...
* I quickly left the room before eclypsing into the palace. It was really a beautiful place with magnificent paintings and gigantic statues. But no time to go into ecstasies about the architecture. I went to the kitchen where I found Friedich who had entered through the air conduct. I was helping him out and he sneezed on me because of the wheat flour *.
- Does your father know that you are such a daredevil? * I asked *.
-And you your father knows that you still have so many crazy ideas.
-May be. Do you have the papers I asked for?
-Arianne provided them. * He said showing them to me *. And free in addition. Its information network is more extensive than mine.
-Normal you're an amateur.
-Be careful what you say I could be offended.
* I gave him a friendly pat on the shoulder and we had a good laugh before looking at the documents again *.
-That's what I thought.
-What is it? * Friedich asked *.
-We suffer defeat after defeat and that on all fronts. According to Arianne's notes, the Armistice will be signed and the Duchy will surely have to cede land in compensation.
-But that's serious. * Said Friedich *. Above all, they must not sign this armistice.
-No, we must not ...
* That day I am sure that old Ares from his temple was holding his breath. Sitting in front of the meeting room Fred and I can only wait and hope for a favorable outcome to all of this. The ticking of the clock had become stressful from hearing this sound continuously. Then I was suddenly fed up and got up from my seat *.
-Where are you going ? * Friedich asked *.
-Play it all for everything.
*I walked with a confident step towards the place where the conference was being held. He was neither hidden nor secret with two guards at the entrance. When they saw me they motioned for me to stop but I didn't care*.
-Halte kid this is not a place for you ....
-My name is Alfar Zell Cailum I order you to let me go.
-Zell calm down ....
-It's all very well what you say kid but what proves to me that ....
-The future of the duchy is at stake, soldier, let me go.
* The look I gave him made him shudder for a moment. I felt him disturbed but despite everything he was not going to let me pass. Fried then jumped on him and knocked him back. As the second guard walked over to overpower him he strapped the keys to his belt and handed them to me. If I was 10 years older I would have smashed that damn door but I made an entrance all there is usually. Once inside I saw that everyone was staring at me visibly surprised my father the first *.
-Z .... Zell?
-Who is this kid? * Asked an emissary *.
* I quickly walked around the faces between those I knew and those I didn't know. But the one that struck me dead was that of the man sitting at the back. The Duke of Elysion. Just looking at him I knew who he was. His gray hair, a symbol of his old age, his white military clothes and his cane in his hand, as well as his cold eyes *.
-Who are you kid? * He asked me *.
-Me ? I am .... No actually whoever I am what matters is what I have to tell you.
* No longer possible to go back, now that I had their attention they had to be convinced *.
-If I am here today it is neither as a count's son nor as a noble but as a child of this country.
-Zell wait.
-Two years ago my parents' vacation home was hit by a bomb. I finished burning in the 3rd degree and I do not know by what miracle the doctor restored me. However, I remained paralyzed for nearly two years. They had to do everything for me, my toilet, bring me food, even closing my eyes was impossible for me.
-It is true. * Pressed Fried who had managed to get in *.
-I have endured these years of humiliation, hoping that the culprits will be punished. And today I hear that you want to sign the peace. BULLSHIT.
-ALFAR. * Shouted my father *.
*The fact that he said my first name showed he was angry but I was not going to stop there*.
-The kingdom of Sunthunder has trampled the sacred territory of Elysion and you will kindly cede our lands to them? What about the soldiers who died to protect her, so their lives mean nothing to you?
- Enough of your kidding impertinence. * Said one of the generals *.
-If you sign this armistice the people of Elysion will live in shame for centuries to come and you will leave an indelible mark in the history books.
-It's a fine kid, but our armies are exhausted, our soldiers no longer have the strength to fight. * Said one of the generals *.
-IT'S WRONG. * I screamed *. Obviously they have the strength. But they have lost faith in their supreme commander. You your excellence. And the truth is, Sunthunder's armies are the ones that are truly exhausted.
* At this moment I saw the emissaries' brain waves panic slightly. Sign that I was right *.
-If we counterattack now we can knock them out of our house.
* Everyone stared at me remaining dumbfounded at my words. Was it really a 10 year old kid talking? The Duke stood up with the help of his cane and walked in my direction. He was really imposing and stared at me with his hard gaze, despite that I tried not to blink *.
-Tell me kid if you were in my place what would you do to turn the tide? * Asked the Duke *.
-I will start by withdrawing all the troops in the North to concentrate on the enemies in the West.
-You therefore suggest abandoning the hunt for the rebels to focus on our enemies in the West.
-Absolutely. The rebels will only be relieved and will not dare to venture further. We can then take back the West and come back and crush them later.
-If I may allow myself Excellency. * Said Friedich *. Wanting to have everything at the same time often ends up losing everything.
-Exact. * I supported *.
-It seems Applicable to me. General Linneberg How long will it take you to redeploy the troops?
-In the shortest possible time Excellence.
* The fact that he did not give a precise date shows that he was not going to disclose the time of the attack to enemy emissaries. It was well thought out from my uncle *.
-Very well.
-You are not serious. * Said one of the emissaries *.
-I, Lowle Van Elysée, officially redraw the war on the kingdom of Sunthuder. You can go tell your king to wipe his ass with his armistice.
-Your got quite an interesting Boy Alysser.
-Yes.... your Majesty.
* My heart started beating again. He isn't that fool our Duke. In the end, I did well to be born in Elysion. In the evening I found myself consigned to my room. My father hugged me, saying he was afraid of his life and then he lectured me but in the end all was well that ended well. It was then that time froze around me as the locket began to float in the air *.
-Congrats kid . Honestly, I thought that idiot Duke was going to sign.
-What did you suspect? And respect my uncle.
- Sorry sorry, but you did a really good job frankly.
-The ability you gave me has helped me a lot.
- Strange by the way. Most people would ask to breathe fire or whatever else delusional but you just wanted to read the brain's electrical signals.
-The powers of nags are for amateurs, I aim for a specific goal.
- I like you kid. Now just call me when needed.
- So much the better. I may never even call you again.
-Haha you'ld call. Trust me.
* And I will certainly not call him again for a long time. In the months that followed our army had recaptured 2/3 of the lost territories. As I had predicted it was the army opposite which was exhausted by ours. After that the Duke invited me to a feast and he even allotted land to my father. One day my father and I visited a friend of his who was none other than the Minister of Military Development. I found Arianne still so elegant*.
-So, you got what you wanted. *She says*.
-Now our enemies are entrenched at the border and will no longer dare to attack. The rebels in the north can thank me for that.
-Beware the secret police may arrest you if you say such a thing.
- Let them try to see.
* I approached her and gave her a peck on the cheek *.
-Thank you for your help.
-Illii I just sent my analysis of the documents.
* She turned her head completely red with embarrassment. That day I took her by the hand and planted myself in front of her father and mine *.
-Arianne and I are getting married when we grow up.
-Whaaaat
* Like I said it was not a bad start. Besides, she had her own charm. You might as well keep her close to me and see more. While our fathers said yes, nodding their heads. Arianne in turn gave me a kiss on the cheek *.
-Oh dear
* I was far from suspecting that the few peaceful days would be gone later. With hindsight I may not have underestimated the rebels in the North *.
*To be continued*.
