It was morning, I could see the sun rays enter the room.
I arranged the leather books, properly, in an order.
Then I quickly went out to start my plan on helping the kingdom.
When I went out, I saw the maid sleeping outside the treasury waiting for me to come out.
She was literally drooling, totally leaving herself unprotected.
I totally forgot she was keeping watch for me.
Leaving a woman alone in mid of the night without any protection.
It's totally my fault…
I went near her.
[Mira wake up, Go to your quarters and take a day off, sorry for troubling you.]
[Oh…. Sorry.....young master, I slept keeping watch…]
She started blushing and turned pink, embarrassed that I saw her like that.
She went away quickly apologizing for her incompetence, when she had done not a mistake on her part.
I closed the treasury and put the key in my pocket.
I slowly stretched myself and starting walking to finish my morning business.
...
The toilets and toothbrush was not advanced as in my world.
Sticks for toothbrush and latrine pits for toilet, no toilet paper or soaps.
S***
This was really hard for me….
Anyway, I took a bath to clean myself after everything and met with my father to return the key and discuss regarding my plans.
I entered the throne hall and went in to meet my father.
My father had a majestic image befitting a king, when he sat on the throne.
It put a smile on my face to see him like that.
I went and returned the key to him in a jovial mood.
[Jacob Von Hugh Malodor, where the f*** did you sleep yesterday?]
What did I do anything wrong?
I think now I know how the second prince's mind got filled with these bad words. Probably got them from dad…
[I didn't sleep, I was reading books in the treasury...]
He got furious.
[Did I say to keep the treasury open and read in the treasury, I said you're to take the books and read it in your room right.]
[Yeah, but ….]
[You know the economy of our kingdom, we can't let ourselves get robbed due to carelessness and lose our remaining riches.]
The court officials were staring at me.
[Sorry dad, I didn't mean to …]
[You say sorry every time ,but you never amend your mistakes.]
[Dad, I know a way to help the kingdom and amend for my mistakes.]
I asked permission to say something in his ears.
He was sitting there grumpily without giving any answer.
So I went near him and quickly told my plans to my father in his ears before he could say anything again.
His eyes really popped out after hearing my plans.
I left the room, telling my father to keep the plan a secret, for I knew there may be some spies in the council.

I went in search of my brother, and one of the guards said that he was in the beast hall.
I also wanted to meet with the blacksmith, but I wanted to give a task to my brother first.
So I went towards the beast hall.
*Thump thump thump*
What is in there?
I didn't know what was in there, and strange sounds were coming out of it.
I went in…
And I just kept staring at the species in front of me, for I couldn't understand what I was seeing….
It was my first time seeing these creatures.
The creatures in front of me had faces like moles and were having a brownish body like a lizard.
They were enormous and were stamping their feet for some reason.

Wow, that sounds really awesome. But the last line seemed like a disclaimer for using shoes.
A big man, cloaked with brown robes, was standing in the corner.
He saw me come inside and shouted,
[HALT]
Every creature stood still.
I carefully went inside the beast hall.....
I could see my brother in there, in the corner in the middle of these chained beasts.
He was training a bunch of new recruits, well to say the truth he was strangling them to teach them how to fight….
His character and personality didn't change from my world.
Showing off his strength to others and literally beating them, pranking them when they are not looking ..... Well, that is my brother.
But you can never ask for a good brother than him.
He saw me come in and finished his session with the students.
I don't know how my father allowed him to train recruits with his strange habits.
Even though he was a genius fighter, his strange habits sure gave him a bad name.
I heard some complaints from his juniors in my world, saying he got a big aggressive when he trained them.....
Well, even though he is good at torturing people, he has a habit to not cause them any injuries or pain.
He had the ability to not cause them any serious damage, it was as if he knew where to hit them without breaking them.
Later these juniors became first class cadets due to his training… Well, that's a different story.
[Good morning brother, never thought you would sleep in the treasury though, it's a first..... Is this another one of your strange experiments?]
Says the one who has fun strangling people.
Well, I didn't know to answer his question.
Was this me a science guy like me, then what did he experiment on….
Well, that's a topic for another day. Let's get to things at hand.
[Brother, do you know where the nearest oasis is located?]
[Yes, it's around 80 klots from here and is filled with beasts, and a good place for training.]
One klot was equal to 1.086 km, approximately 1 km.
I learned this from the maps and scales in the world geography book.
I also knew about the location of the oasis from one of the maps inside.
To be frank, this whole kingdom was located in the Saharan desert, And this whole continent was shaped like the African continent.
The continent was however named trulyn and was the only continent mentioned in the world geography book.
I wonder what is in the other continents.....
I was spacing out again.
.......
Place for training, huh ..... Then it must be a place where he can take me.
[Would you care to come for a fishing trip with me?]
