Republic of Palatu
Jiangbei Province
Somewhere in the garrison of a patrolling cavalry squadron
The captain of the cavalry squadron, Lorenzo Dan, was rubbing his thumb over the pass, inconspicuously scrutinizing the scriptural signature in the middle of the sheepskin document, trying to spot anything amiss.
The script signature was brief—[Alpad Duyome].
The officer providing the pass claimed to be "Colonel Alec," who sat opposite at the desk.
Though still maintaining a polite smile, it was clear from the movements of his fingertips and legs that he was becoming impatient.
"It doesn't look fake," Captain Lorenzo thought. He had seen General Alpad's signature before, as there was an identical one on his own appointment document.
But as for the seal—he couldn't help touching it—he'd never seen a real one, therefore he couldn't distinguish a fake.
