"How's it going, did you see Derrick?" Kant's expression didn't seem to care much, and he got up and helped the saluting Bandak up, and asked.

"See, we're still drinking together." Bandak's emotions rose again when he mentioned the meeting with Darek.

"What did he tell you? Ready to stay at Durandel for the rest of your life? Kant asked, raising the corners of his mouth.

"Your Majesty, if you have any orders, of course he will return to Dehrim immediately." Bandak hurriedly denied it: "It's just that Durandel's side has to be taken care of by him." ”

"I see." Kant shook his head lightly and said.

Bhandak saw Kant's expression and knew that Kant had guessed the meaning of the words.

After sighing fiercely in his heart, he raised his smiling face and said goodbye to Kant: "Then, Your Majesty, since you have forgiven me. Then I'll go back to the barracks and take over. ”

Kant frowned and said, "Who said to forgive you." Ran out of the city without permission and replaced it with other soldiers, and he would have been expelled from the army a long time ago. ”

Bandak was so frightened by Kant's words that he broke out in a cold sweat and asked, "Then my punishment is..."

"Hmph." Kant snorted lightly and ordered, "For the sake of not causing any trouble this time, and for the sake of escorting the goods." Forget about the relegation, you will be punished for standing in front of the palace gate for three days and three nights. ”

"Three days?!" Bandak's eyes widened and he said, "... Your Majesty, will it be too ruthless, and standing in front of the palace gate, it will definitely be pointed at by the people. ”

"Well, so you can remember the lesson." Kant nodded and said, "Don't bargain with me, the punishment will start tomorrow, and today you can go back and rest first." ”

“... Be. Bandak agreed with a look of grievance. And after the salute, he withdrew from the temple.

For the next three days, the news that the commander of the Calradia soldiers had been punished at the gate of the palace spread throughout the city.

Everyone is speculating about the reason behind this, and many parents bring their children to watch.

Bandak stood motionless in front of the palace gate for three days and three nights, and the exertion of physical strength was not a big deal. It's just that in the end, I was so sleepy that I was about to fall asleep with my eyes half-propped up.

"Boss, you can withdraw." One of his soldiers poked his head out from behind the palace door and said.

"Huh?" Bandak opened his eyes dimly, saw the dark sky in his field of vision, breathed a sigh of relief, and said to the soldier with a wrinkled face, "What are you doing there?" I felt like my legs were icy. Come and give me a hand. ”

"Yes, yes." The soldier quickly jumped out of the threshold, approached Bandak, and held him on one side.

Bandak found that his leg was almost unconscious, and it took a lot of effort to move it from the spot.

The soldier looked at the fine sweat on Bandak's forehead and said worriedly, "It's such a cold day, and it's been so long to stay outside." Your Majesty is not worried about the general, your legs are falling into rheumatism. ”

"I'm in good health, just don't crow's mouth." Bandak replied, then stomped a few feet.

The soldier looked at him and shook his head, and reported, "Captain Adunis said that he will come in a carriage to take us back to the barracks. Let me stay here and take care of you for a while. ”

"Adunis is coming too?" Bandak frowned and said, "Where is there such a trouble. I'll just walk back on my own. ”

The soldiers couldn't resist Bandak, so they resigned themselves to carrying him to the barracks.

However, the two of them had not walked for a long time when they met a carriage on the road. The fabric of the barracks carriage stands out in the dark.

The soldier shouted for joy: "Captain Adunis! ”

"Why did you stop on this road, didn't you wait at the gate of the palace?" Adunis jumped out of the carriage and said with a little anger.

"I wanted to go back by myself, so this kid came with me." Bandak said.

Adunis glanced at the frost that had congealed on the padded jacket that Bandak was wearing, and did not blame him further. Said to Bandak: "Get in the car quickly." There is a stove in the car. ”

Bandak agreed, "Yes. ”

After getting into the carriage, the three of them sat down around the small stove.

"Why are you coming in with you?" Adunis wondered at the seated soldier.

The soldier touched his head embarrassedly and said, "I'll bake the fire for a while, and then I'll go out for a drive." ”

Adunis looked at him speechlessly, then stepped out of the workshop and took his seat as a coachman. Turning around, he shouted, "Warm up and you can come out." ”

As he spoke, he waved his whip and drove the carriage on the return journey.

The soldiers in the carriage tried to stop Adunis, but they couldn't. I could only sit there with an embarrassed face, rubbing my hands in front of the fire.

"What's your name?" Bandak watched the whole story and asked the soldier with amusement.

"Florence." The soldier looked up nervously at Bandak and replied hesitantly.

"How does it sound like a girl's name. And it's kind of familiar. Bandak frowned, looked out the window and recalled carefully in his mind: "This name seems to be the name of the famous singer in the Xicheng Restaurant." I've heard her tunes. ”

With that, Bandak looked at the soldier meaningfully.

"That's my sister." After seeing his lie exposed, the soldier immediately confessed apologetically: "General, my name is Siber. ”

"I'll just say, your sister will be glad to hear you use her name so well." Instead of blaming, Bandak quipped lightly.

"I'm sorry," Sieber apologized.

"It's fine." Bandak shook his head and said, "When did you enter the barracks?" ”

"Two years ago." Sieber replied.

"It's been two years... In which camp have I never seen you much? Bandak pondered.

"Well, in the cavalry. It's just that a year ago, he was injured in daily training and temporarily turned into a service soldier. Sieber was pleased with Bandak's attitude, explaining in detail at this time.

"I see. How did you do in the logistics team? Bandak continued.

"It's not bad, it's busy when it's busy, and it's easy when it's free. I kind of like to be here. Sieber said as he breathed hot air into his hand.

"That's good, too." Bandak looked at Sieber in front of him, and remembered the Darek he had seen a few days ago.

Indeed, everyone's pursuits are not the same.

"Do you have frostbite on your hands?" Bandakra approached Siber and asked, pointing to the wound on Siber's hand.

"Well, it's been too cold lately. I didn't manage it much, and it became like this. Siber replied.
