After Dream of Dream SMP joined the Guard of Laencaster, letters were flowing in, from letters to the king, to letters from the king, your day was always filled with work.

Well today was no exception. You woke up and did your best to dress up in time, and when you opened the door, a big pile of letters were waiting for you. You sighed scooping up the paper mountain and bringing them inside. The noises outside made organising faster. The Capitol was always full, especially in late August, the wine harvest season just started and everyone was leaving to the grape fields of Willowdale.

Many times you questioned whether this was reality or just a dream. It all started when five years ago they found a place called Nether and the new species the Piglins popped up. The Nether even has a king and he ruled that land since the world was created. You always did your best to find out more about the new lands they find, even though you could never go in any of them. They were so distant for you even though The Capitol had a portal in town square. Then there was the miracle of the Capitans best friend coming back to life somehow. It was confusing but your job was to organise every letter by address and put them in your bag then deliver them to random people.

You walked out of your house and pulled out the first letter to deliver. It was a street away so a quick walk in the sun didn't hurt. The hard cobblestone street lead through the city, curling upwards with the hills under it, and followed the houses that pattern.

You made your way to the next street and easily found the house. You knocked on the door. A young lady opened it with a smile on her face.
"G'Day Darlin' " She said.
"Mornings, letter for you." You said. The lady reached out and you handed her the letter.
"Thank you sweetie, what do I owe you?" She asked.
"Nothing, have a great day!" You said waving at the nice lady and walking away.

You walked to the next street dropping the letter off on the porch and you followed that routine, until you had the last letter in hand. Or more to say scroll.
You looked at the address, it was your letter. The seal was emerald green, that's the kingdoms colours. You quickly broke the seal and unrolled the letter. Beautiful handwriting of the King's Copier was like candy to an eye, but rather what did the King himself want from a civilian messenger.

'Dearest Y/N L/N of The Capitol,
I am writing this letter cause the lack of information about the war of Dream SMP. One of my real old friends, Technoblade, was a part-taker of this fight. I want you to visit him and interview him with questions of the battle. I would love to have your presence in my Palace in a day.
-your Highness, King Ardghal Mellowstone the fourth.-

You rolled the paper back and threw it in your bag. The king wants you in his palace? You were just a messenger, a civilian. You realized that in a day means tomorrow, and started into a quick run to your house. 

You quickly ran inside, and threw your bag on the floor. You opened up your dresser and put the nicest clothes you could find- you were going to the Palace after all. You put in everything you needed, put the letter away and you've been already on your way to the Palace

The route led out on the north side of the city and it was convenient that you lived in Capitol, if not it would be a long journey, but the Palace is close enough from the Capitol to only be a couple hour walk.

On the way to North gate you accidentally bumped into someone.

"Miss, L/N, nice seeing you around this time."
"Jacob Romaznyk, what a pleasant surprise. How have you been doing, old man?" You asked jokingly. Jac wasn't actually pleasant in any way, his face was the scariest thing, his weird sounding Russian accent and crooked smile was just so unpleasant to look at, but you were raised well, and didn't wanted to be rude and look away.

"Well, fabulous, as one would say. And where are you heading this late in the day?" He asked.
"Palace city, Mellowstone . The king wants me there tomorrow." You said.
"The king himself, well sorry for holding you up, Miss, be on your way." Jac said and waved while walking away.

You sighed and continued heading to the gate. You were at the gate fast and it wasn't even dusk yet, so you had time to get to the Palace in time. You waved at the gatekeeper. Someone happenend to be at the bottom of the wall.

"Where to?" He asked. He had a horse's reins in hand.
"Oh, Palace city, Mellowstone." You said.
"What a coincidence, I'm heading there too. " He said. The man had brown hair and grey eyes. He was shorter than you and was looking very young.

"The names Private Connor Flores,What is your name?"
"Uhm, Y/N L/N. I'm a messenger in town." You said. "But if we're going to the same place, you could come with me." His eyes lit up to that. He smiled and nodded. He pulled his horse to him, jumped up and gave you a hand to sit up behind him. You did so and the gate opened fully for you two to go out. Connor nudged the horse to a slow gallop. The quietness was painful, but there was nothing much to talk about. And at this rate it was sort of weird to start talking.

"What are you doing at the Palace?" He asked breaking the silence.
"The king wants me to collect report about the war in Dream SMP. And he wants to talk to me." You said. "What about you, mister Private Connor Flores, what are you doing in the Palace?"

"I'm getting a higher rank, I'm going to become a Specialist. It was my dream for so long." He said. You couldn't see his face but you could easily tell he was smiling.
"How old are you?"
"Oh, seventeen. I started young." He said it quiet causally.
"You're really young for a Specialist, no?"
"Well, I am, but i worked for it." He said. You left it at that, he said he worked for the rank which means he earned it. You doubted the Guard would have someone this young in the army, but miracles happen.
