"No. The Afterbridge Inn isn't far away from here. We can rest there, unless someone has objections?..."
"Can I have it?" The Countess passed the wooden sword to the boy.
"Of course. Old Rockman will teach you basics when we get back home." Little Andertz gasped, and then walked away clinging onto the sword like it was his most prized possession. "Your Highness." "Yes, Countess Coldside?" "I wish to not endanger Andertz any more, so here we shall part ways, but please. Get rid the world of this Purplecloak scum. He deserves to live no more!"
"You didn't look very enthused about her demand." "Just didn't want to tell her that we will not be killing Sir Purplecloak, that's all."
"Cuz I wanna be a great warrior one day!"
"I want the toy sword!" He pointed at Argos' old wooden blade.
"Put it to good use! And if you cut off that Purplecloak's vile head with it, I will rejoice at the news." That's when little Andertz stepped up to Argos as well. "..." And grabbed Argos by the sleeve.Question for the GM: Can we colonize across seas? Or will I eventually have to fight Egypt to get out of Africa? Also can we trade territory or allow access through each others land?

"Alright then." "Are we about to resume marching?" "Oh? You didn't sound very enthusiastic whilst on the road, Orf." The Troublemaker shuddered. "Better than this place, for sure!" Prince Aland smiled and turned - only to find the Countess and her son standing beside her, clinging onto her trousers. "Your Highness! I wish to repay you for your kindness and for saving Andertz's life. But I do not know how." Aland stared down at the boy, who partially hid away behind his mom. "Hmm. I do not have any ideas myself. For now, perhaps, accompany us back to the main road. I'm sure your own soldiers are getting anxious." "Of course!" "M-Mom..." "Yes dear?" The blue-haired boy pointed at Argos' belt. "He has a toy sword..." The Countess looked at Argos, and something clicked inside her head, so to speak. "Oh. Oh! Your Highness!" While Aland stopped in his tracks and turned, the Countess walked up to one of her soldiers, demanding his weapon. Sheathed and with finely shaped hilt, it was clearly of finer quality than usual steel. "I know it is rather crude way of repaying a life saved, but, perhaps your companion here would like a good sword? Many of us nobles from the north own metalworks and steel smithies. This way I could repay my debt to you at least by a tiny part." Prince Aland looked at the sheated sword, then at Argos, then at the Countess, and back at Argos. "Do you want a new sword, Argos?"
