after princess Amira finished the story about her mothers death, Shulmanu still looked confused
Shulmanu: "So? what does this have to do with your goal?"
he asked confused, Amira looked disappointed that he didn't get it and replied
Princess Amira: "I want to avenge her you dummy! I wanna kill those Persians for what they did to my mother!"
right after she said that, they heard someone sobbing up next to them
Nabamu: "That's such a sad story"
Princess Amira: "Yea i know"
right when Princess Amira said that both of them would realize Nabamu was awake all along, knowing he knows that Sitrum is actually princess Amira
Shulmanu: "You were awake the whole time?!"
Nabamu: "Yeah i was"
he said before doing a evil-ish laugh, right after he would get punched on the top of his head by Shulmanu
Shulmanu: "don't you dare tell anyone!"
Nabamu: "Relax, i wasn't planning to
Shulmanu: "how did you even wake up that fast
Nabamu after hearing than paused and than smiled
Nabamu: "I was never knocked out"
he said smugly, making both of his dorm mates shocked
Nabamu: "when i saw you two entering the bathroom out of nowhere, like any other person, i was confused as hell, but i knew you two would continue talking about it when you were alone again, so i made you believe that you knocked me out, so Shulmanu would carry me back to the Dorm, and as i expected, you two begin to talk about what you were in the bathroom"
Amira looked impressed, meanwhile Shulmanu looked confused as hell, seeing how smart Nabamu actually was
Shulmanu: "Alright smarty pants"
Nabamu: "please never call me that again.."
right after, they heard knocking on their door
???: come on, let me in already
a familiar voice said
Princess Amira quickly put her helmet back on and then Nabamu unlocked the door and opened it to see who was knocking, he opened it and saw that it was their friend "Rimush"
Rimush: "Why the hell was your door locked"
Shulmanu: "Nothing, we just wanted some privacy"
Rimush: "Come on, you guys can tell me anything, I wont judge"
Nabamu: "We trust you but wont tell you, its too risky to tell anyone"
Rimush looked dissapointed, and said
Rimush: "You guys are so boring.. anyways, lets head to the kantine, its time to eat again, i heard they're serving every soldier steak this time!"
the 4 of them quickly walked to the kantine, hungry ass hell after only eating gross foods they were served, finally being able to eat something good for once, when they arrived, the four of them quickly found a place to sit, all of them excitedly waiting for their steak
Rimush: "This is gonna be so good!"
Shulmanu: "I know right!"
while waiting, another person approached them, when Shulmanu looked at him, he realized it was Naram, his father
Shulmanu: "Father? What are you doing here?"
Naram: "Just came here to visit and see how you were doing"
Rimush, Nabamu and Amira/Sitrum's eyes widened, one of them spitting the water out their mouth out of shock
Nabamu: "Your Father is General Naram?!"
Shulmanu: "Oh yeah, I forgot to tell you guys, anyways, its nice to see you back"
Rimush: "Why didn't you tell us sooner?!"
Shulmanu: "I didn't know it was important"
All 3 of themgave a disappointed look, Amira/Sitrum's would be hard see because of her helmet
Naram would look at Sitrum confused on why she was wearing a helmet, but with his smart intellect he found out, he smiled, saying
Naram: "Helmet guy, it will be alright if its revealed, trust me"
Rimush stood there confused, but Nabamu, Shulmanu and Sitrum looked shocked, not knowing how he realized Amira's identity as Sitrum
Rimush: "What are you talking about General Naram?"
Naram: "Dont worry about it kid, you will learn about it sooner or later"
Sitrum would be too shocked to move, scared that she might've made it obvious, but she didnt, the recently "disappearance of Princess Amira after arguing with her mother" made it obvious to Naram
Naram: "Anyways, you kids should be happy, I told the commanders to finally serve you something good, i remember eating that stuff when I was a rookie too, never liked it or understood why they even served it"
Shulmanu: "Yeah thanks Father"
The 3 would still be shocked of how casually Shulmanu was talking to one of the greatest generals
Naram: "Anyways Shulmanu, I got something handled for you, there was a creature found in the wilderness of Babylon, we want you to see what the creature was, and if you manage to defeat it, bring it back for us to see what it was"
Shulmanu smiled, clearly excited, but he tried to hide it to not look childish and unserious
Shulmanu: "Thank you father, can these 3 come with me?"
Amira, Nabamu and Rimush's eyes widened, not wanting to see what kinda creature they were tasked to look for
Naram: "Of course they can! you might need extra protection anyway"
saying this made Rimush, Amira and Nabamu even more scared, hearing that they might have to fight too and that the creature was stronger then they previously thought, but they stayed quiet, not wanting to look scared in front of the general
Naram: "Anyways, have fun for the rest of your day, ill be going now"
he said before leaving the cafeteria to in the lunch room for Generals
right when he left, all 3 of them looked furious at Shulmanu
Nabamu: "What did you get us into you bastard?!"
Shulmanu: "Don't worry you scaredy cats, ill protect you guys, you're only coming as company"
Rimush: "You wont be enough! you're not a God or anything!"
Shulmanu: "Stop being scared and be grateful we are allowed to do this, only a few soldiers get to ever go on missions like these"
as they continued arguing, the bell rung, meaning it was time to go back to their dorms, for the rest of the day, with Rimush allowed in their dorm by commanders, they would play board games all day, ending the day before their mission off peacefully.
