When I got to my daughter''s room, the priestess and Nola were both there waiting on her.A priestess from the goddesses Temple would come every day to take care ofher.Theywould castminor healspells and cleanse onherto keep the infection and sickness away.They were always female, and they wore robes to hide their figures.The robes were white with a blue line running along the left-hand side.


    Her room wassmallin comparison to the rest of the castle.There were rough tables and chairs where they would eat and occasionally play games.There is another table against the wall holding, some cotton bandages, and other medical supplies.She slept in a twin bed.There was another bed in the corner of the room for Nola.She slept here in case something happened.Nolahad been taking care of my daughter sinceshehad turned 10.


    Nolawas trained by Korbin tobehis replacement when Milliecameof age.


    Nolacame upand spoke with me "my King,she''s been doing well today, but right nowsheisasleep.You will have to come back in the morning if you want to speak with her."


    I looked at Millie, the entiretopportion of her head was bandaged down to her nose.The right side of her face was also covered in bandages.She had lost her arm from the elbow down and was missing her right foot as well.


    She would look like her mother If given a chance."I neededto speakto the priestess anyways."I turned to her while speaking "can we go outside the room and let my daughter sleep while we discuss things."


    The priestessnoddedand followed me out of the room.Speaking in a solemn tone,Iasked "Iamsendingmy daughter to theIrontown, andIneed a priest to go with her and can you set up a Temple there?''"


    The priestess looked thoughtful for a few minutes "hmm, my turn towatchher will beoversoon.WhenIget back to the Temple, Iwill talk to the head priest there andgettheir permission.Somebody will return in the morning with theanswer." Thepriestess smiled andspokeagain "Iwouldn''t worry though, that town has been without a Temple for a long time, and with a request from the king it''s more of a sure thing.At this point"


    She turnedaroundand walked back into the room.Isighed in relief.NowIneed to talk to thewarlords.Warlordsbuildingwas in the inner courtyard on my way thereIgrabbed two of the guards and told them to follow me whenIgot to thewarlordsbuilding.Italwayssurprised me with howitlooked.

She was 24 and had the same frame as herfather.Even now as I walked into the shop she was cursing while halfway inside of her armor.

Her father, who was even now putting several tools back into her desksaid"I wouldn''t do that.Not after the last time, it took me a week to clean up the vomit from the inside of the suit." Hequickly backed away from her desk, a second later, she poked her head back out of the armor.


    Shenow wore a sneer on her face whenshesawme and said "crap, the Kings here."Thefather Sam turnedaroundtofaceme "oh Your Highness good to seeyouuu.What canIhelp you with today?"Ichuckled afterhearingtheir exchange.It''sprettyrare whenIgettohearnormalpeople.Ithen replied to his question "I''m sending your daughter away for about a week.She''ll be protecting my daughter."Andhopefully not starting a war Sam now looked panic and said "let''s, aaa no you can''t take away Anna.She''s the only mechanic we haverightnow.If she''s gone, I won''t be able to repair the suits anymore"Annathen replied with her head buried back in the armor. "Dad, you''ll be fine.You taught me how to repair these suits, to begin with."


    Sam had the rider class.Hewas basicallyabletotrainany animalhecame in contact with,Another one of his abilities made it so that any vehicleSam touchedhewould beableto drive.This ability carried over to artifacts calledEXOarmor.His daughter grew up trying to help her dad repair the suit.Whensheturned six,shegotthe engineering class.
