kept thinking about each word his guests had told him. The
information that captured most of his attention was that the
sultan was very arrogant.
He kept thinking until the morning and he did not
sleep at night.
His guests came in the morning as he asked them to
do. They sat down, and he served them coffee.
After a while he said, “People, I have reached a
solution that will rescue people. Gather as much knights as
you can. Then I will lead those knights to fight the sultan’s
army.”
One of them said in amazement, “But as we told
you, we cannot fight them as their number is larger by folds
than ours.”
“Just do as I told you, and everything will be all
right,” the Teacher said. “I promise you we will not lose
even one knight from our side.”
They could not believe what he had said and started
looking at each other in surprise. Some of them even
thought he became crazy.
“How can this happen?” asked one of them in
surprise.
The Teacher replied, “Just trust me. Have I ever
failed you? Do not you remember how the Protectors
including me annihilated the Grey Eagles? Just believe me,
and we will get victory.”
Eventually, they agreed with what the Teacher told
them because they believed he was the uncrowned king of
Rawna City and its surroundings and that he was their only
hope.
