Word is this. Now that you know this, you can work quietly. Therefore I will now declare you to “Wordmaster”. As Wordmaster you have to follow specific rules, which no other person will follow. If you don’t follow these rules, you will die. So be graceful and enjoy yourself, Juliano.

Yes, your Majesty. I will. Please allow me one question.

Speak.

How will I know these rules?

You will know them if the time comes. Now go.

Yes, your Majesty.

Juliano went out the door and into the garden to see Annarie, who was waiting there for him. She sat at the “Oldy Oke”, their secret meeting place, the old oak. The Old oak was the oldest tree in the whole garden. As she noticed him, she stood up.

I apologize, that it took so long, my beloved Annerie.

That doesn’t matter20anymore, Juliano.

What did you want to talk to me about?

About…My arranged wedding with baron Mercendet of Witingwall.

Oh, my beloved Annerie…Why didn’t you tell me before?
;
I…I…I…couldn’t. I just couldn’t tell you, because I love you so much and I didn’t want to make you worry about me…

But I was worried about you, because you seemed so unhappy. When is the wedding?

In four days. I delayed it as much as I could, but…

Silence.

We have to prevent the wedding.

What did you say?

We have to prevent the wedding. That is our only way to get you out of there.

But how do we do that, Juliano?

I don’t know, my dear Annerie, but I know someone who would.

Gandor

They went to the market to find that someone, who knows a plan to prevent the wedding of Annerie. They went directly to the blacksmith. Juliano knocked, then went to the back of the house and opened the door. Annerie followed him. Inside the Blacksmith an old ma n was standing beside a fire, looking into space.

Grendin? It’s me Juliano. I have a request.

Grendin moved his hands, but didn’t say a word.

Oh… I understand. I can arrange that, but boy, you don’t really need that. Where is Gandor? Wasn’t he with you? I thought I heard him.

Grendin moved his hands again, but in a different way than before.

They caught him and now he’s encaged?! No way! We have to get him out of there. Where is he?

Grendin turned around and looked at Juliano for a while. Then he Grabbed a map and pointed at a place marked on the map.

Wendolf’s castle…If we get Gandor will you help us?

Grendin nodded

We will meet, tomorrow, after Breakfast. Then we will travel to Wendolf’s castle.
