Chapter 47: Dear diary ...
Lee was prepared his training would suffer after returning to the capital, but only now he realized how much he missed the morning runs along the fields, woods and the river. Of course, in order to meditate, he only needed a place to sit, so no matter what kind of bed he had, it was fine. The problem was the physical training.
When he woke up with the sunrise, after washing and doing the regular meditation, Lee tried to think of what exercises could he do in his dark, thirty square feet room, most of which was occupied by the bed. Push-ups and sit-ups was the obvious choice, but it quickly became boring.
Obviously he could wear himself out this way and increase the physical strength, but he was used to being more active and train in more pleasant environment.
"Waters!" Lee was disturbed by one of the servants banging on his door, "Sanders is waiting for you in the kitchen!"
"Coming!" Was the only thing Lee could reply while quickly getting dressed.
"I'm busy today, so I need you to go to the marketplace." Sanders said the moment Lee entered, skipping all pleasantries. Ivonna was not around, but there were several other servants, most of which had barely woken up.
"Here's the list and the money." Sanders continued, and pressed a piece of paper in Lee's hand along with a small sack of coins. Then pointed at the people in the kitchen and added, "They'll help."
There was a clear displeasure on their faces – these servants had worked in the Newman's household for a while, but now they had to follow a newcomer who was just a kid.
Lee didn't bother with them, and said, "I need something to write with."
