“Second Lieutenant Patrick! The Army captain wants to see you.” Wayne

“Wants to see me? What did I do?” Pat

“I was not informed, I was told to locate you and give you the order.” Wayne

“Second Lieutenant Patrick! The Colonel wishes for you to appear immediately.” Corporal Mirko

“The captain is aware that you’re difficult to find, so he sent two messengers, just in case.” Wayne quips while Corporal Mirko sniggers

“So we are clearing the road?” Pat

“Yes! Ten days from now, His Royal Highness (the Prince) will be visiting the Marquis of Dixon to the south.

This is an order.” Colonel Reedon commands as he hands me some paper
