In Nottingham, when the soldiers sent to the king arrived, they passed the refuges and headed towards the home of their commander in chief. Reaching Commander Braun's home they knocked on his door on his door and he came out

Soldier 4: Commander ! we brought a letter for you from his imperial majesty

C.Braun: Give it to me

A soldier gave it to the commander and the commander opened the letter. While going through the letter, the soldiers could see the angry shock on the commander face

C.Braun:. 😡 Damnit !!

The commander angrily tore the letter

C.Braun: Go to your duty post, all of you😠

The commander went inside and closed his door

Soldier 20: What do you guys think might be in the letter that made commander Braun that angry

Soldier 1: Ask Arnold, he was the one who handed the letter to the prime minister, spoke to the king and collected the letter from the King

All soldiers were looking at the soldier called Arnold

S.Arnold: 😳....... I didn't open it, look over there. Aren't those pieces of the letter, put em together and read it

Soldier 6: Yeahhh

Soldier Oswald: Kim pick them fast, we would fix them in the base

S.Kim: Alright

Soldier Kim packed all the shredded papers in a bag, climbed his horse and the soldiers slowly rode to their baracks. Some hours later,Cloud walked to the Nottingham military base.

Reaching there, he saw a lot of people there both young and old, Ready for enrollment. Cloud saw a symbol that said register, so he went there. Arriving at the registration office, he saw two men there

Bill: I am Bill and do you want to register ?

Cloud: Yeah

Bill: Your name ?

Bill: How old are you

Cloud: Nine(9)

While filling Cloud's paper, the second man said to the man filling the form

Man 2: Bill ,all this children coming to join the recruitment ,I wonder what they are looking for😒

Bill: Casmir stop disturbing yourself, have it in mind they won't pass through to become soldiers. See that French slave girl, you think she can become a soldier hahahaha

Cloud looked back to see the girl they were talking about, then he saw a girl sitting on the ground with chains on her leg, looking all depressed

The man was done filling his form

Man: Cloud Pendragon take, your registration is completed

Cloud took the paper and left that area to meet with the slave girl. reaching where she was, he squatted to talk to her

Cloud: Hello there....

Girl: .....

Cloud: What's your name ?

Girl: .........

Cloud: Hmm it seems you don't want to talk. you must tell me later ,you hear me😊

He patted her on her head and she looked at his face. Then they both heard commander Braun shout out from afar

C.Braun: All registered cadet submit to the back field immediately !!!!!

Cloud stood up and joined the cadets that were moving to the back field. while walking, a boy rushed to him and grabbed his shoulder

Boy: Bro !!

Cloud looked back to see who held his shoulder. As soon as he did that, he jumped away in fear

Cloud: What the f*ck ?!!

as he saw a dark skinned guy.

Boy: What is it ?😳 have you seen a Verstoßen ?

Cloud: No, why are you dark ?

Boy: 😌Oh that....... you know, when we Africans first saw the white men, we were shocked as well. Asking them why they were white, because we believed we were the only race. Now we discovered we are not the only race, I want to explore the world and find more interesting things

Cloud: You are from Africa ?😲

Boy: Yeah, am Oluwatobi Tenebe, but you can just call me Tobi. Am from the Benin kingdom in particular

Cloud: Cool..... Am Cloud Pendragon. so why did you rush to me, I know you didn't meet because you wanted to tell me you are from Africa

Cloud: (looking at her as she followed the other cadets to the back field) Her

Tobi: Yeah ,man !!!! I have eyes on her but am too shy to talk to her 😭 teach me how you were able to talk to her

Cloud: Boy..... are you okay ? I think you don't know where we stand. cause if you do, you would know that the military is not a place to find love
