They all climbed into the carriage and before the carriage could move out of the palace, a knight appeared at the window of the carriage and gave Virtya some papyrus scrolls.
'So, the copies are ready already?' Virtya was surprised. After writing down every detail that was needed the other day, Virtya had given the writing to the painting artists of the Whiddiff palace so that they could make more copies of it and he could see that what he asked for had already been done and more than enough copies had been made.
"Take these ones to my office." Virtya gave the knight the excess papers and only remained with a few of them.
"What is that?" Alexandre asked Virtya about the papers that he was holding.
Right at this moment, the carriage started to move and out of the palace gates, thousands of knights had already boarded the hundreds of carriages, they were only waiting for the king so that they could start their journey.
After all, Virtya was taking his missions seriously and he didn't want what happened in Polkok to his predecessor to repeat itself, he was more than armed in this day.
In the royal carriage, there were five individuals, that was mr. Vlad, Grisha, Alexandre, Tanya and Virtya himself.
There were two long benches that were facing each other in the carriage. Tanya sat beside Virtya while Vlad sat opposite them but on his right side sat Alexandre while on his left side sat Grisha.
It was only Virtya and Tanya who wore heavy armour while Grisha wore a black robe and Vlad wore a grey robe, on the other hand, Alexandre wore a simple garment.
"This?" Virtya smiled at Alexandre's question. However, it could be seen that it was not just Alexandre who was curious, everyone else was also curious except Tanya who was taking several glances outside the carriage to see that their journey went on unperturbed.
Without saying anything, Virtya gave Vlad and Grisha several papers that had been woven together. The papers were similar but their contents were different.
"This!" Grisha was agitated and his hand trembled uncontrollably, he couldn't believe what was written on the papers that he was holding. On the other hand, Vlad was smiling while nodding his head, but Alexandre was different as he looked as if he was holding back a hysterical laugh.
"Your approach is different but I like it. I hope this will work. I promised to help you in this and I won't back from it." Vlad said as he perused through the papers.
"Bu! Ha! Ha! Ha! Ha! Ha! Ha! Ha! Using shit to increase the soil quality? Please tell me that you were not the one who wrote this down." Alexandre turned to Virtya after reading several sentences from the papers that Vlad was holding.
"I am the one who wrote every detail on those papers. You might not believe me but I believe a 100% that this will work." Virtya was serious about this which made Alexandre to calm down and stared at the papers that Vlad was holding.
"How to make a compost pit." Alexandre read the words aloud. There was even a picture of the compost pit drawn there and every layer of the pit labeled.
"If you believe in this. I also believe in it." Alexandre said before he sank on the seat.
"Mr Vlad, we are going to do a campaign in all the districts in Whiddiff city and while there, we will teach the farmers on the importance of using human and animal waste to improve the soil quality for the growing of the crops. We will then make a makeshift compost pit and use the readily made manure from the pit and sprinkle some of it to sampled crops and see what would be the results. We have to do this to make the people to believe in our ideas." Virtya urged.
"They would definitely believe in what you have told them, after all, this is not a joke and if they don't believe... What about you use force? They should respect you as the king even if you told them to eat shit, they should do that without question or reluctance, right?" Alexandre chimed in but his voice died down when he was given a stare by Vlad.
