After supper, Virtya relaxed for a few hours before he decided to go back to work.
At this moment, Alexandre had became too tired and he had at last surrendered to his drowsiness and he was now sleeping on his seat . It was not that where Alexandre sat was a sit that could transform to a bed, no. It was just that Alexandre was still in a sitting position but he had closed his eyes with his mouth opened and a few snorts could heard from him now and then.
On the other hand, Galina had arranged several seats which were previously used by the knights and through this, she had managed to make a makeshift bed for herself where she placed a mat on top of it and slept.
One should know that Virtya didn't come with any beddings at this place as this was not a place where he was supposed to sleep. It was just that Virtya still wanted to work and that was why he was still in this warehouse.
Virtya only came with his kitchen staff and kitchen ware to this warehouse because he couldn't get back to Whiten to eat as it would take much time when he was needed to supervise the ongoing project and ensure that every thing went smoothly and according to plan.
"The knights are so vigilant. Have they gotten any information about an assassin lurking by? I don't think so... I have been keeping a low profile since I started my journey from the kingdom of Magyo. Maybe this is just how they are trained but so what? They can't be as impenetrable like those knights from the kingdom of Magyo, right? I just have to wait." The assassin who had been watching Virtya for a very long time didn't go to sleep with his fellow workers, he remained at the site and currently, he was lying on top of the marshy ground and it was only his face that could be seen.
However, even his face was veiled by the marshy outgrowths around him and no one could detect him even if they pointed the torches at where he was.
Clearly, the assassin was not too far from the wooden warehouse and he could see every motion that the knights around the warehouse were doing. This assassin could have chosen to kill one knight after the other so that he could reach at Virtya at last but that was not how he was trained. He was trained to only focus on the target while ignoring the people around the target but in this case, he would have to look for a way in which he could bypass the barrier which was the knights around the warehouse so that he could infiltrate into the warehouse and finish his job.
"I hope that girl is not around." The assassin was optimistic.
Anyway. Virtya checked the components once again and he first saw the I beams that he had yet to use.
Actually, Virtya could have chosed to use the I beam for the support and holder of the axle but producing the I beam was too expensive because it consumed a lot of iron ingots and it was also complicated to fabricate because of its weight.
One should know that an I beam had a wider body as compared to the body of the H beam and the I beam was the heaviest between the two.
However, Virtya only managed to fabricate a few I beams that he believed would be enough to offer the support for connecting the many gears and sprockets that will ensure that what needed to be rolling did so.
Currently, there was no worker around, thus, Virtya was forced to use his knights to help him.
"Let's take this out." Virtya ordered and while being helped with ten knights, they carried a 3m long round steel from the room where other round steels were piled up.
With his face scrunched up, Virtya and other knights placed the round steel at the wide corridor within the warehouse.
The warehouse had a 10 metres by 6 meters corridor where by, there were storage rooms at both sides of this long corridor while there was an empty space at the far end of the corridor. This empty space was the one which Virtya and his crew were using as their dinning place while there was a kitchen just beside it.
After taking out the 3 meter long round steel, Virtya asked the knight to take out another round steel. He didn't help them this time round because he was not as energetic as them and just carring the first heavy round steel had almost drained all of his energy. Each of the pieces of round steel that the knights were taking out had holes for the nuts and bolts.

Capítulo 80: Back then (b)
After all, unlike Virtya, king Markov was a very very ambitious fella and that was why he came up with historical features like Chanya and the blacksmithing guild.
Additionally, king Markov had wanted to conquer the kingdom of Magyo because he was very jealous about their wealth and the minerals but he failed miserably before he quickly came up with a way to solve this problem and it could be seen that Markov was forced to give the most valuable part of Azuhai that neighboured the Magyo kingdom, so that he could save his position as the king of Azuhai.
Though this was painful, Markov had to grit his teeth and bargain in this deal even if he knew that he was not in the position to bargain and that was how he managed to get Catalina Brisbois to be betrothed to Virtya when he was still a toddler so that Markov could be sure that Azuhai would not fall in the future.
Unfortunately, Markov was assassinated by Brisbois a long time ago which forced Virtya's predecessor to take the throne at a younger age but Brisbois was not satisfied and he also tried to poison Virtya's predecessor but he failed because it was Virtya who reincarnated after his predecessor died.
Currently, Brisbois was trying to also assassinate Virtya just like how he assassinated king Markov but will he be successful this time round?
Meanwhile, after Virtya got a change of clothes, he walked towards the dining table and sat beside his sister who was the only person at the dining table.
"Why are you not eating? The food will be cold if you don't dig in right now." Virtya pinched his sister's cheek making her to grimace. He then sat comfortably on his chair and scooped some food with a silver spoon and placed it in his sister's plate.
"I want you to grow fat, you are so skinny you know."
"You are the one who is scrawny. I don't want to become fat. Another thing... Don't pinch me again or I will slap your face. You left Catalina alone in Whiten instead of coming here with her so that you can pinch her whenever you like, why did you do that?" Galina asked. Then, while using the fork, she picked up a piece of meat and placed it into her plate before she cut it into four pieces and picked one of the pieces and put it into her mouth.
Using the spoon, Virtya scooped some rice and put it into his mouth. One should know that even if Virtya didn't plant rice, this didn't mean that other farmers in Azuhai didn't plant this crop on their favourable lands, not to mention that the Litkesh kingdom was known to be the largest producer of rice and wheat in the entire Southern continent, thus, Whiddiff palace could buy rice from Litkesh kingdom if there was scarcity of rice in Azuhai.
While chewing, Virtya turned and faced his sister. He stared at her intently and saw that Galina was still the same, she hadn't changed. It was only her feminity that had grown.
Actually, Virtya was older than Galina by a year but when one looked at the two, they would think that they were of the same age or they were twins.
"Well... Catalina is trouble. I feel like I will become fat if I don't see her face very often. I don't like her..." Virtya paused for a moment and his eyes glued at the person who was coming towards the table. She was of course, Tanya and she had changed into another suit. However, just as usual, what Tanya wore had hidden her beauty underneath as Virtya could not see her perfectly shaped curves well which made him disappointed but he was happy with Tanya beside him.
Virtya smiled sheepishly and when he wanted to stand up so that he could offer his seat to Tanya, his sister pulled him back which made him to frown as he glared at her.
"What?" Virtya asked his sister.
"That is Tanya, she is not Catalina."
Just like that, Virtya, Tanya, Galina and Alexandre ate supper together while the knights ate at the several tables around Virtya's table.
Alexandre had asked for another round of wine which made him too intoxicated that he didn't even ate much as he grinned from ear to ear while telling the crew a lot of lies. He had offered the others to share with him the wine but they refused which forced him to share it with a random knight.
