Ellie and Eldan were so passionate about their talks that they were practically white hot. After they got into where and how it would run, they shared a firm nod and left a cloud of dust in their place as they took off from the tent. I figured they must have decided it was best to see the site themselves to continue their discussion.

If we did want to build a road, we’d have to ask the villagers and the onikin for their thoughts. I figured checking out the site would start after that, but I knew I wasn’t going to be able to stop Ellie and Eldan when they were still so enthralled in their planning. I decided it was best just to let them be.

Kamalotz returned with another pot of tea; he refilled my cup, and then poured some into the little seed cup made specially for Aymer. I watched Kamalotz at work, and then I remembered something.

“By the way, Kamalotz,” I said, sipping from my tea. “I read in a letter a little while back that you went and hired Juha? Guy must be a real handful, having him in your employ, no?”

“Oh not at all. He’s exceptional,” replied Kamalotz. “He’s been a wonderful source of both inspiration and teaching. Not just for Lord Eldan, but for me and all the retainers too.”

“Juha is Dias’s former brother in arms, yes?” she asked. “The man who called himself ‘the kingdom’s finest strategist.’ But a war-averse military strategist? I hope you don’t mind me asking, but how does that work?”

“According to Juha, war only ever ends in losses,” I said. “The longer it goes on, the more you lose. He says that war is the worst, and it’s as inefficient a thing as they come. You lose weapons and equipment, you lose a whole heap of money on it, and worst of all, you throw away countless lives. Win or lose, you come out of it worse than you go in, and if you keep it up, it sets the world on the path of decline. Fall far enough, and you’re looking at the end of humanity by monster invasion. Juha always liked to say that if you’re going to use that much money and resources and people, it’s a far smarter idea to put it all into farming. He said that so much I started to get sick of hearing it.”

“That’s exactly what makes him such an exceptional strategist,” added Kamalotz. “In his efforts to avoid war he puts his focus on tidying domestic governance,
