When Aubrey heard Kant's words, he breathed a sigh of relief and said, "That's fine." Nothing is a big deal. ”

Kant nodded and said, "I originally asked Bandak to come to me today, why did you come?" ”

"Commander Bandak has set off for Durandal with the convoy, and there is no one else in the barracks. Your Majesty, your guards have come to me. Aubrey replied embarrassedly.

"Bandak went to Durandal? I don't know? Kant wondered slightly.

"Your Majesty, don't you know?" Aubrey's eyes widened, and he had a premonition in his heart that he might have caused a big disaster, and he said hesitantly: "I heard that Commander Bandak only looked for him when he heard that Commander Derrick would not return to Dehrim at the end of this year, after all, the two of them were also comrades-in-arms before. ”

"I see, who is in charge of the affairs in the barracks now?" Kant asked.

“... Adunis. Aubrey replied.

"yes, okay." Kant did not have displeasure on his face, and said indifferently.

Aubrey followed Kant for the rest of the journey, and escorted him back to the palace.

After leaving the Senate Hall, Aubrey silently thought in his heart: should I send a letter to Bandak or something.

However, the thought that Bandak should be on the way back with the escort team dispelled this thought.

"What can I do?" Aubrey looked at the sky and sighed.

Back two days ago, when Bandak had just arrived at Durandal.

Bandak stepped down from his camel, took off his fur hat, and said to a surprised Darik, "Long time no see." ”

"Why did you come along?" Darek happily walked over to Bandak and said.

"If you don't go back to De Herim, I can't come to Durandall to see you?" Bandak said.

Darek waved his hand and said, "Anyway, I'm just here for the New Year." How many days are you going to stay here? With that, he took some of Bandak's luggage.

"We have to leave tomorrow. Your Majesty doesn't know I'm out yet, so I'll have to go back quickly. Bandak patted Derrick on the shoulder and said.

"Ha, you're guts enough." As soon as Darik let go of his hand, his luggage fell to the ground.

"It's okay, I can't find it. Adunis helped me hide it. Bandak said, "Ah, this bag is the cotton clothes I brought, and you are responsible for it when it gets wet." Hurry up and pick it up. ”

Darick was stunned, then picked up the duffel bag that had fallen in the snow, and followed in the footsteps of Bandak, and the two walked side by side.

"When you go back, see how Your Majesty cleans you up." Dyrick said.

"I've come all the way to see you." Bandak shook his head indifferently and said, "To be honest, I won't go back this time." Is there a reason why I wrote to you other than wanting to stay here? ”

Hearing this, Derrick took a deep breath, and said with a smile on his lips, "Yes." When I first heard that His Majesty was going to remove me, I was also angry. But after thinking about it, maybe there is nothing wrong with that, and Cremont is better suited than me to try. My wish is to stay in Durandle and get the work done here. ”

"That's a completely different purpose than what I wrote to you for in the first place." Bandak said.

"So what were you thinking when you wrote the letter?" There's still a long way to go, and Derrick doesn't mind the topic going on forever.

"Of course, I want you to come back to Dehrem to do something. Then Your Majesty will not remove you from your position as Commander. In this way, we can continue to be colleagues and wait for the next time we can fight together on the battlefield. Bandak spoke all his thoughts.

"Thank you, Bandak." Darik's eyes flushed and said, "However, I am also very happy to stand in the position of my subordinates to support you." ”

"It's not...", Bandak reacted, and said, "How do you..."

"I didn't have the determination to compete with others, do you remember? The celebration we had for the first time from the Elven Kingdom. "At that point, I was at my worst in terms of winning or losing. Stand out as a leader in a battle you just won. I was confident enough to be a better commander than you. That's why I have the meaning of showing myself in front of you. ”

"Wait, the celebration feast? That was a long time ago. Bandak frowned and said, "Darek, you are really good as a leader. But sometimes your delicate mind can bother you. ”

"I know." Derick replied, "Anyway, now I don't have the confidence to stand in the position of leader. ”

Bandak looked at Derrick's side face and found that Derrick, who was calm and self-contained every day, had such a stubborn and fragile childish side. I couldn't help but sigh in my heart.

After returning to Durandal's barracks base, Derick rushed to bring Durandle's men to help unload the cargo. There was no time to greet Bhandak. Bandak stayed in his room until the evening.

"Bandak Commander! Dinner time is coming! A soldier knocked on Bandak's door and said.

"Got it." Bandak replied. After taking the last sip of tea in the porcelain cup, he walked out.

The building they were staying in tonight was newly built near the barracks, and when they walked outside the lobby on the first floor, they could see that the soldiers were gathering in a noisy group in the barracks.

"Commander Bandak, please come with me." Said a Durandal soldier.

Bandak followed him and walked to the top of the feast. Daerik was sitting there as well.

"You're here." Derrick greeted with a smile.

"Hmm." Bandak squeezed out a smile that was now a complete stranger in his heart: Derrick had become a complete stranger.

Less than two hours after the afternoon altercation, Bandak could not imagine what Derrick's smiling face meant.

At the beginning of the feast, Derick and Bhandak, as representatives of the two sides, made a few words respectively.

Bandak didn't know what he was talking about when he spoke, and after saying 'I wish you all a good meal,' he sat down in his place and drank a glass of sake.

"Toot toot—" The empty glass was filled.

Bandak looked up at Derik, who still had a smile on his face: "Don't drink so quickly. Let's eat the vegetables first. ”

"It feels... Can't eat. Bandak smiled wryly.

"Then I'll drink with you." Derick sighed and responded.

As he spoke, he took his glass and sat down in front of Bandak.

"Come on." Dyric filled his glass with wine, held it up in front of him, and said to Bandak.
