-What a wonderful day! - Jabir Nahhas exclaimed, his voice filled with undisguised delight, as he gazed at the clear, azure sky. -Every morning, you wake up in the best of spirits and feel an endless supply of strength and energy, don't you, Dari?
The silent figure of a man standing near the far wall, completely cloaked in an impenetrable dark cloak, nodded almost imperceptibly in response to the castle owner's question.
Meanwhile, a man of middle age with Arab features, similar to the palace owner but slightly shorter and with strikingly bright blue eyes, hurried along the narrow sandy path that stretched along the entire hillside towards the main gates of the majestic structure. He was clearly the first visitor.
-Vel'hae nasu, Kaid, venarma tevet'alla! - Jabir greeted his guest cheerfully. -Please, come into my humble abode.
-Shikiro, o'en Jabir, - Kaid bowed respectfully. -I would be honored to accept your invitation.
After the formal greeting, the host and his guest slowly made their way to the castle entrance, inhaling the delicate fragrance of the blooming plants and enjoying the pleasant warmth of the summer sun.
Inside, the structure looked no less majestic: the floor was covered with luxurious carpets, famous and expensive paintings hung on the walls, antique utensils of exquisite craftsmanship were skillfully combined with the latest achievements in design and art, and modern furniture, creating an atmosphere of comfort and coziness. Sunlight from the large windows penetrated all the numerous rooms and corners of the palace, illuminating them with a pleasant daylight.
After finishing the meal, the castle owner escorted his guest to his study, located on the fourth floor. It was a spacious room with rare firearms and edged weapons adorning the walls, comfortable furniture, and a desk made of expensive types of wood.
-Indeed, I live as if in a fairy tale, Kaid. - Jabir Nahhas continued the conversation, settling comfortably into a luxurious armchair. -I am even considering abandoning all these affairs and staying in this wonderful land forever.
-You are right. - the visitor agreed, hurrying to take a seat opposite the castle owner. -Few people would dislike such a life. And I am one of them. - he continued after a short pause.
-I understand everything, yes... - Jabir replied with a sad sigh. -It is not time for rest. I have not been home for twenty years, twenty long years. Do you think everything is ready, and it is time to act?
-Otherwise, I would not have come, sir. Now or never. - At these words, a momentary spark of flame seemed to flash in the speaker's eyes. -Everything is ready for your return; there is no more time to delay. The plane is already waiting in Kalitos. - he hastened to add.
-Very well, then let's go. - Jabir said confidently, rising from his seat after a moment of hesitation. -Farewell, beautiful Andarcia, beautiful Kazatron, beautiful Kalmia. I am returning to Kwasardastan.
