The Golden Throne

Liu Feng cracked his fists as he entered the tent again. He saw the two nobles and the man. He nodded slightly to the man, and then looked at the two boys in front of him.

"I have taken care of the idiot, young masters. He will not bother us anymore. If you need anything, please do not hesitate to ask me. I will be honoured to help someone as esteemed as you.", Liu Feng bowed down low.

"Finally, someone who appreciates the proper etiquette that a commoner should show a noble. It is as if all manners died in here. Fine, you have satisfied me. You can sleep there. Do not disturb us..", he looked away smugly.

"Young Master there is but one problem...", Liu Feng asked.

"What is it?", the boy replied sharply. There was a hint of annoyance that Liu Feng caught almost immediately. 

"I am already showing such great restraint by not killing you, but now you are just making it worse.", he thought to himself as a vein on his forehead bulged.

"Nothing Young Master. It is just that my bags were here, and now they are missing.", he said.

"Oh, those pieces of trash? I think I threw them somewhere outside the tent because they blocked my path.", the boy said haughtily.

"Blocked your path? I am sure that I put them to the side.", Liu Feng responded.

"If I said that they blocked my path, then they blocked my path. Why do you care for it? Get lost.", he barked as he faced the other boy.

"You are too harsh Lester. He will feel bad.", Brooks chuckled. "Look at the poor boy. He is also our age, and look at his clothes. His parents actually invested in proper clothing for him. It seems that he is not your usual commoner. Why treat him like that pest at the side? Just let him go."

Liu Feng glanced at Brooks once but did not say anything. He bowed again and ran out of the tent to get find his bag, as well as Arad's. He was left through the cloth door only to crash into someone who was walking in front of the tent.

"Aargh!", a shriek came. 

Liu Feng quickly apologized. "Forgive me. It was my mistake.". But then, he looked at who he crashed into. It was an elf. His fair complexion and his long ears gave it away immediately.

The elf did not say anything and got up. Dusting off his clothes, he looked at the tent behind Liu Feng. 

"Is this tent number three hundred four?", he asked Liu Feng.

"Yes. But there seems to be a mistake. There are already five people assigned to this tent.", Liu Feng asked.

"The Kings of Darv and Elvan specifically ordered that all tents that have students from any kingdom will be crammed with seven people. I do not understand their reasoning, but what can we do about it?", the elf sighed as he went inside.

Liu Feng stopped for a moment, and then smiled. "It looks like at least one person is thinking straight. Now where is my bag?", he closed his eyes for a moment, and spread mana around him.

He could see all the little things where normal vision could not. He opened his eyes and ran to the back side of the tents and fished his bag and Arad's from a heap of dust. By now, the sky was getting dark, and it was harder and harder to see anything.

He went back into the tent only to be greeted with another surprise. There was another person in the tent. He sized the new arrival. He was a dwarf, clear with the stout appearance and the short build. He looked at Brooks and Lester. They were talking with the elf and the dwarf about something. Sighing, he finally went and bended over towards the man who was crouching at the side.

"What happened to you? Why are you shivering like this?", he asked.

"That boy, Brooks or whatever. He is the devil! He got some senior officer to lash me a few times just because I accidentally touched his bag. Stay away from them. Don't sell us out you faker.", the man spat out and looked away.

Liu Feng smiled bitterly and looked back at the discussion between the four boys.

"Fine then. This part of the tent will be for us, and the corner will be enough for the commoners. You will have the comfort that you are used to.", Lester said.

"But they are still people. How can you expect them to sleep in such a small place? There is not a lot to move at all.", the elf protested.

"Fine then. You give your place to them.", Lester shot back.

"Do you think that you can just act so haughtily?", the dwarf spoke.

"Do you know who is behind me? This is Brooks Garret! Have you ever heard of Commander Garret? This is the nephew of the great commander. If you do not want martial punishments, then you better listen to us.", Lester said.

"Heh, do you really think that you can scare us away by saying that you are related to a high ranked official? Do you think that your dear uncle can touch us? We are not here under your uncle, but rather under the Elvan and the Darv armies. And, we also have our own connections. If we start complaining, ours will actually be registered, and I am sure you know that the kings do not want any of the students to get into any trouble.", the elf said folding his arms. He looked down at them with a smile on his face.

"Fine, they will sleep in front of the door. They will have all that place. But remember, how long do you think they will go without breaking a few rules?", Brooks spoke all of a sudden as he put up the air quotes. "Sooner or later, these commoners will be disciplined by martial law, and it will be your fault.", Brooks laughed.

"Lets just sleep.", the dwarf scoffed.
