vehicle around, driver.” One of the men ordered the driver.
Parcema stepped out of the coach and approached the men.
“Please step in to the coach, mister.” The other military man ordered Parcema.
“May I ask what the purpose of stopping us is,” Parcema questioned the men, “Since when are people no longer welcome in Lagus?”
“All borders with other countries have been closed. On order by King Roghar.”
“Is Roghar at war?” Parcema asked. His eyebrows frowned, giving him much more authority than he seemed at first.
“We have our orders, Mister.”
“I am an Eagrival, best men. If there is something going on that we all have to know, than I best get that information, soldiers!”
The men lowered their gaze.
One of them pushed the other. “You best tell him.”
“Tell me what?” Parcema questioned.
The other man pushed back at his coworker, “You outrank me. You can tell yourself”
“Tell it now, man.” Parcemas eyes narrowed.
The first soldier shove his feet, then said: “Roghar had his worst anger and killed someone in his fury.”
“Yes mister. Lord. That is all we know.” The other soldier added to his comrades reply.
Parcema rose himself to his largest stand, “then you best let me pass.”
The soldiers cornered by the towering First Eagrival before them seemed unable to decide whose orders to follow. The driver went back up on his place, Parcema strode closer towards the soldiers.
“You two, you let me pass. No harm will come over you. And if it would, come to the Eagris.”
This was enough convincion for the two and as they placed their halbards away, they opened the gate.
“And be aware to open again when I return!”
The coach passed Parcema, halted for him to be able to enter the coach then drove off again, leaving two soldiers closing the gate again, with trembling knees.
