Chapter 1759 Finally Leaving
Beri thought carefully.
Yes…
Perhaps that has been her plan all along.
But according to his majesty Landon's spy, the main fortress holds a grand deal of secrets... secrets they gathered by the witches which they can also use against the TOEP.
The witches were not idle during their hunt for these hated TOEPs over the years.
They too gathered information... in particular a list. A list his Majesty Landon called the Blacklist.
It had names of those hidden in the shadows, those the world doesn't even know exist.
Baymard wants that list... the Blacklist!
That's why no matter what, the Main fortress must be found!
Meanwhile, in Baymard's Capital city, several people were rising from their beds with deep sighs.
Looking at the beds that kept them company for several beautiful weeks, many couldn't jell falling in them again, rolling around with pitiful faces.
"Mom, must we really go back? Can't we stay a little longer?"
"Yeah, Second Mother. What's the harm in staying a bit longer?"
"No can do. We must go back today. But don't worry, mother (second mother) will make sure we visit several times… Now do last-minute checks to make sure you're not forgetting anything."
Hey...
Both children quickly moved across their room, knowing if they left something behind, it might take a long time before they got it back.
Turning around, another woman walked in. She looked identical to the woman who spoke to the children just now.
"Sister, is our husband ready?"
"Well, he isn't back yet." One smiled softly.
Their husband left at 4 a.m. for one final meeting with his majesty Timothy, his majesty Landon, Kind-Father Lucius, Commander Jackson and several others.
It seems there are some things they must finalize before they leave for good.
Anyway, they will be having breakfast together with the royals at 9:30. So they knew that no matter what, their husband would be back by them.
The time now was 6:21.
He still wasn't back yet, so it meant they could take their time, doing what they liked until 9~9:05 AM.
After spending time here for several weeks, they can find their way to the Grand Dining hall from here.
But it seems today, they were going to eat within his majesty Landon's beautiful Greenhouse garden.
It was winter and snowy outside, yet his garden was vibrant, plush and stunning.
Although they've been there once, they would still get lost if they headed there on their own.
That's why at 9, the people sent by the palace will arrive escorting them over.
With everything packed and everyone washed, it seems the children can have one last money playing computer games and growing the web.
Inwardly, they didn't want 9 AM to come so fast.
However, it's always during these periods that time seems to fly by like a bullet.
9 a.m, Gordon still hasn't shown up yet, but that was okay. He was waiting for them in the Garden.
"Please make last-minute checks. Your luggage will be taken down and packed in the vehicles... Madamns, time to go."
.
Breakfast was amazing as usual. Sending everyone's unease, Landon was quick to tighten the mood, making several people laugh so hard they almost choked on their tea.
Hey, who asked him to be a people person?
The heavy atmosphere vanished in the blink of an eye, and after the long enjoyable meal, everyone rested for a while together, before birding vehicles to the docks
Well, it's not everyone who left for the docks.
Today, the Oma teachers were also moved into the residential apartments they had arranged for them a while back.
During this time they stayed in the palace close to Landon so that they could easily learn Pyron too.
Additionally, Landon was also teaching them Baymard's method of teaching students.
It's not like the way today's medieval people taught.
It was the reactive and thought-provoking way of the 21st century.
So he had to ensure they followed this teaching method to the tee.
Landon also drew up outlines for Oma courses, showing them what they will be teaching during their first teaching semester which he and would be in April.
In Baymard, here is how the semesters and their holidays work.
▪5th August to 20~26th November (depending on last exam day) -- Summer/Fall semester
▪27th November to January 2nd --Winter Holiday.
▪January 3rd to April 22~26th -- Winter/Spring Semester.
▪April 27th to August 4th -- Summer Holidays.
The scheduling more or less fell in this manner.
But during the summer holidays, schools also offer Summer classes for students who need more help understanding some courses.
Sometimes summer was also there for students to take on courses they missed.
Some people like to also stay ahead of the game, choosing to complete these courses and be free during the following semesters.
Think about it.
If you only have 1 summer course and nothing else to study, then you will definitely put all your energy into it and excel with great results.
Summer courses typically begin 1 week after the Spring/Winter semester and exams officially end.
Everyone has 1 week to rest before coming to school again.
And since there are fewer courses they take, they can still work part-time and full-time jobs while also having fun with their friends if they plan things right.
.
The plan was simple.
Landon planned to use the entire Winter/spring semester to completely train these Oma teachers, while also announcing to the world that Oma 101 and Oma 102 would be mandatory courses in Public schools like Roma and Zhol was also a must-study language.
Since Roma and Zohl were so similar, they were combined in one of many courses, where their differences and similarities are talked about, as well as their pronunciations.
That's right.
It was a must to study these languages showing no favoritism to any UN nation.
Luckily in schools, language courses were the most passed courses wherever you looked.
That being said, Oma will also be taught in Baymard, and after the new year, announcements will be made during orientation and at the start of the semester, emphasizing the need for everyone to learn Oma.
Landon was sure that before the Winter/Spring Semester ended, several people would rush to take on Oma 101 in the summer, wanting to have more free time during the main semesters when their schedules were filled with other courses.
These teachers will get their first students then.
In the meantime, several chosen Baymardians will also be following Timothy on this trip
Their mission was to teach the people of the Soma Empire, Pyron.
Why?... Because only those who pass the language tests will be allowed to study in Baymard come August.
By then, the Bay-Soma Cruise Lines will also be functional, and everything will be ready for more Giants to come in and study.
Soon, this place will be filled with people from all nationalities.
.
Reaching the docks, everyone boarded their ships, giving one last look at Baymard before taking off.
Sigh...
Timothy stared at the slowly fading silhouette of the buzzing city, feeling his trip was very short.
It was funny that he had already been here for a month and he still felt he had only scratched the surface of everything Baymard had to offer.
"I wonder if they're back yet," Timothy pondered while thinking of his wives whom he sent out of Soma's Capital before Adonis attacked Soma's Capital.
Understand that after Landon saved the day, they immediately followed him to Baymard. So he hasn't seen his family either.
Well, since he left Artemis to handle everything, he was sure it was fine.
Knowing there was no need to worry over what he couldn't confirm yet, Timothy immediately headed to his Grand suite, looking at the many plans he now had for Soma.
"Traffic... That must be controlled."
"The treaty laws must be enforced in all corners of my Soma!"
"Transportation laws must be made, new jobs introduced, and other aspects improved."
The more Timothy thought the more his hands flew on his paper like magic.
He has written and rewritten things for an entire month but found that every time he thought more and discovered more from Baymard, his initial thoughts would immediately change.
He visited many Baymardian territories, seeing how they handled things, and even ensured currency circulated in the empire.
Although he hated to admit it, the way the world in general thinks, was very selfish... And his Soma empire wasn't any different.
.
Timothy sighed.
All his life, although he was a good monarch he loved his people, he always felt it was right to surprise them to an extent, creating a very big gap between the rich and the poor.
The gap, just like the gap in many empires, is so big that the middle class rarely exists.
This was where he realized he failed.
Baymard on the other hand, did its best to raise everyone's standard of living, ensuring there were many with middle-class wealth. And what he realizes was that it facilitated trade and brought unimaginable wealth to the empire
The people were happy and had true patriotism flowing in their veins.
Timothy's eyes glowed with determination when thinking of Baymard.
"We must not lag behind. We must change!"
