Hinam and Prince Liyal had settled down in their roles as Lord Roka's wife and child, and the young Lord wasted no time in putting his secret plans to work.
After a few months, when he deemed the time was right, he introduced Hinam to every member of his secret elite squad, numbering about five hundred men, and instructed them to obey Hinam.
This was because he wanted Hinam to train his men, after which his men would recruit more men and train them under Hinam's command.
Like that, he would rapidly and efficiently increase his soldiers, making them battle-ready at no major costs.
Prince Liyal was the only one he personally trained every morning and evening, trying to groom him and hone his skills for his own uses.
Afterall, for the plan he had in mind, Prince Liyal was a very important piece.

Two years passed but Prince Liyal, now twelve, was showing no serious improvements in his skills, and this frustrated Lord Roka to no end.
