The total good count was more then enough to re-equip the men, and enough to rebuild about half of the siege equipment, which was less then what the king had hoped for. Once he had taken in all the men had to say, he gave a soft nod before speaking. "We won't be putting anything into action right away, I can't have my brothers catching on to what we are doing. With that said, I want the royal guards to help with the rebuilding of the siege equipment. Tell them we will give them double there pay for everyday they help with the rebuilding, but make sure it's all done in werehouses. Also if to many men say they will help, give them shifts. That way there will no fighting over who gets the pay, though if there is still fighting over who gets what shift, either dismiss them from rebuilding duty, or find someone else to take that shift." Alexander said to Gabriel, before he looked to Rafiq. "As for the army, start moving men slowly. We shall be making a move on Alderion, just to make sure that they won't cut our food if we attack my oldest brother. Thus this way we can still get some food from Trystan." Alexander took a breath and closed his eyes for a second, before responding to the last thing Rafiq said. "I would send Saladin a letter now, saying that the soon he can come the better."<br/><br/>The young king then turned around and picked up a letter with the royal seal on it, it was address to his eldest brother Trystan. "If one of you will to Lili's room and see if she is there, and if she is. Give her this, inside is a letter asking my brother for three thousand logs of there best wood, that should cover th siege equipment and leave us extras. But if you think we need more speak up now." He waited till someone either said something or not, then placed the letter on a small table that was infront of the three men. "I do have other things I have to see to. But I'll be calling for you three again before the day is through. So stay close to the castle if you can." Alexander said, before he stood up. "You three should get some breakfast by the way, that is if you haven't ate yet." He then went to the door, opening and walked out into the hallway. Leaving the men in his room.<br/><br/><br/>The young king walked down the long hallway and down a stair case. He came to the next level of the castle and walked down the hallway again. He then opened one of the last doors that had a guard on either side of the door. Sitting inside the room was Skyler Machia, the woman he had called to the castle. Alexander walked into the room and sat down in a chair, he looked to Skyler smiled. "Hello Lady Machia, do you know why I have called you here today?"
