The courtyard was quiet after the women dispersed, the morning sun casting long shadows across the stone pavement. Ravina, her presence commanding yet respectful, suddenly walked over to me, her dark eyes meeting mine.
"King, what is your order now?" she asked, her voice steady and sure.
I didn't hesitate. "You guys take everyone and go training with Lisa," I instructed, my tone firm. "She will help you all understand the customs and how to use various things here."
They all nodded in unison, their expressions determined, before turning to follow Lisa toward the training grounds. I watched them go, a sense of satisfaction settling over me. Order was being established, and they were falling into place.
Angela then approached me, her lips curling into a knowing smile. "Come with me, Dexter," she said, her voice laced with intrigue. "I'll show you something good. You will surely like this."
