After leaving the music room, I come to my father room to say goodbye. When I knocking and enter his room, my uncle already there with my father."Good morning father, good morning uncle Jason"
"Good morning Henry, seems you"re ready to leave. But why you don"t wear the armor?"
"Ah, I want to discuss that too. Can uncle Jason find a crew with similar stature to me? If there are people with the same stature as me, ask him to wear the armor and put in the middle, also we all should wear cloth that covers our nose and mouth during the journey"
My father slammed his fist into his hand
"Good! That diversion tactic isn"t it. Very well, that"s good for precautions since what happened with you last time. Henry, you thinking well about this mission"
"Fine, I"ll search one people who similar with you from the crew to disguise as you, my nephew. See? I"m not wrong saying you"re a competent person"
My father and uncle laugh heartily. I only can scratch my head watching they laughing. The fact is I"m not feeling comfortable wearing such heavy armor during the trip. It would be hot inside under the sun during the day which makes me like roasted inside if I wearing that.
My uncle leaves the room to search that kind of people. After he left, my father takes a sack from his desk and throw it to me.
"Take this Henry. That"s your mission funds, use it wisely"
I catch the sack he throws and checks the content. It"s full of silver coins around 200 pieces and it"s quite heavy! Do you want me carrying this all the way father? Nevertheless, I should thank him because this amount of money is not small for our castle
"Thanks, father, I will use it wisely"
"Hmm. Continue your preparation henry, we meet again in the gate when you depart"
"Okay father, see you later"
I leave my father room carrying this heavy sack of silver. how I"m supposed to carry this all the way? After I arrive in my room, there"s n.o.body there. So I take what I need to bring during the trip. Leather armor, sword (although I don"t know how to use it), my phone, and my identification stone. Eh? That"s it. Maybe this heavy sack of silver can put there. So I hold the identification stone toward me and cast the spell

Alright, this work! I don"t need to carry that heavy sack all the way now. After I finish take whatever I need during the trip, I look again at my room, I will miss this cozy room for several days. I see the bed still in a mess after our morning fun. My girls seem haven"t tidied it up because we go to the bathroom and practicing music after that. So it"s alright, they can do it later.
After feel there"s nothing else to do here, I leave the room to see my journey companion. I need to socialize and get along with them. We will share the hardship together and it would be better if I already familiar with them. I go to the front yard where they gathering there.
There are two horse carts full of equipment parked in the front yard, around thirty people also a.s.semble there. I see my uncle talking with a young man about my age that wears iron armor. That"s must be my doubles. So I"m approaching them to introduce myself. My uncle who sees my coming wave his hand to me, and introduce the young man in front of him.
"Ah here you are, Henry, let me introduce you to him. His name is Claude, son of my friends, actually, I want to ask his father on this journey, but he"s not well so his son replaces him. Claude, this is my nephew, Henry"
"Good morning young master Henry"
"Good morning. Just call me Henry, we"re on same age right? I hope we can be a good friend during this journey"
We shake hands and start talking about this journey. It seems Claude is same as me, this is his first long journey from his home. We quickly get along well with that. After that, I excuse myself to check on the cargo and other crews. There would be 30 horse riders and 2 cart drivers on each horse cart, with me, the total will be 35 people on this journey. I see the lumberjacks that my uncle brings all have st.u.r.dy and muscles arms. I nodded, satisfied with the crew that my uncle brings, they do not disappoint me.
Finally, it"s time to go. My father stands in front of the castle gate and gives a short speech before we depart and wishes we all can return safe and sound and bring good news. The maid that"s not on duty seems standing in castle balcony giving farewell waving to us. I can see my sister and my girls also standing in the biggest and s.p.a.cious balcony. I see my sister let her hairs loosened, and it sparkling under the morning light. Seems my shampoo already give its effect on her hairs. They all saying their prayers and expecting me to return as soon as possible.
"Okay folks, move it"
With a loud shout from my uncle, our party starts to move to leave the castle and my new journey has just begun.
