Complicated Decisions

It’s been three days since King Faust Roxflood was back in the kingdom. He had been busy attending the court. His absence for three months had piled up many things, even though Herbew had been handling everything well.

“I had told them to keep an eye on those Shifters for a while. We aren’t still certain about the new treaty.” Herbew proposed his wish. He had already sent some of the soldiers over the borders of Roxflood which were common with the Fifth Lake Kingdom.

“I trust your decisions, Herbew. Besides, you have handled everything well, while I was absent. I am proud of you. See, I have told you numerous times that you are born to rule the kingdom, but you never were serious. Now, what did you decide after these three months?” King asked Herbew hoping that the latter would change his decision of being a military official for the rest of his life, rather than ruling the kingdom.

“Well, I… I just did what you told me.” Herbew replied honestly.
