Biskha was kneeling in front of Antariskh giving her daily report since the incident with Imoogi she had taken up Aika's responsibility who was currently indisposed because of her punishment.
As she finished he report Antariskh gave a tired sigh as she thought, 'Oh baby brother I am utterly disappointed with you, and I do not tolerate disappointments it seems I have to teach you as your eldest sister a very important lesson.'
Ryuu spent most of his days after that incident giving tips and advices to his friends who had thrown themselves in training but alas all things should come to an end as at the end of the week his sisters had arrived and they will have to leave that place.
Ryuu spoke in a sad tone, "Why sister? I do not want to leave from this place so soon."
Antariskh: "Well brother it cannot be helped because something came up we lost a lot of time and we have still so much to teach you as such we have to leave."
Ryuu: "But sister...….."
Sylvana: "No but Ryuu we have to leave today, so please go and say your goodbyes to them who knows how long it will be till you meet them, and we have only a little over a month left before we return to Ayindril to celebrate your birthday, now run along the longer you wait the less time you will have to spend with your friends and remember we have only a couple of hours at best before we leave not a second more."
Ryuu sulked as his shoulders drooped as he made his way to his friends.
Ryuu greeted them but he lacked his usual bout of energy, causing his friends to frown.
Percy asked him with concern, "Ryuu what happened you look so sad?", a feeling shared by everyone.
Ryuu: "My older sisters came back, I will be leaving within a few hours."
This caused his friends to freeze thy felt as if the sky fell on them.
Narcisa: "What this is not right why you have to leave no all of a sudden?"
Ryuu: "My sisters took on a trip to teach me a few things like hunting and what not, but something came up which required their immediate attention as such they left me here but now since their work is done it is time for me to leave."
Channah one of the youngest among them spoke, "Ryuu you do not have to leave why you don't just defeat your sisters and make them agree with you."
Ryuu shook his head as he replied, "My sisters are very powerful Channah, they can defeat beings many times stronger than that Imoogi with just a sneeze, as such there is no way I can win against them. Also it is not only not nice, it is something I will never condone and the notion of rising one's hand on their elder sibling outside of spar is blasphemous to me."
His friends just hugged him as they gave a tearful goodbye; Ryuu's eyes became red with tears. Biskha suddenly appeared as she gave a low bow before speaking, "Lord Ryuu it is time.", her words were small but it was enough for them to realize that everything good must come to an end one day, their parents had warned them that no matter how close they might get to Ryuu one day he will return back to his home and they might never see him again, at that time they did not pay head to it but now it all seemed so surreal their memories they shared with Ryuu.
Fresh tears leaked from their eyes as the hugged Ryuu who returned the gesture with a tearful hug of his own.
Estelle: "Big Brother, please promise us you will come back. Wuwuwuw", the little girl cried as tears cascaded from her eyes like waterfall.
Ryuu spoke as he choked from sob, "I promise I will return as soon as I am able to then we can have fun together again."
Their cries had attracted the attention of the adults of the village they themselves were sad to see Ryuu leave, some quickly made their way home so that they could at least bring something to give Ryuu as a way for him to remember them.
Biskha frowned at that the scene Ryuu was getting too attach to people who according to her was insignificant beings who had no right to stand at the same position, breath the same air as Ryuu let alone claim themselves as his friends the idea itself seemed ludicrous to her.
As Ryuu was leaving he was gifted various items from wood carvings to pickles and dumplings he received them with kind smile, but what took the cherry on top of the cake was when Narcisa pecked him on his cheeks causing Ryuu start glowing red like a tomato, Narcisa herself had hid her face embarrassed as others made fun of them, few of them even wolf whistled at that.
BIskha was very angry, 'how dare that no good peasant child dared to touch his Highness in such an in appropriate manner.' she would have taken her head for her audacity the only thing stopped her was an order which was hastily transmitted to her by her Majesty.
Ryuu stammered out, "G-go-good Bye N-narcisa, and ta-take care."
Narcisa just nodded she was so embarrassed to even look up as she just nodded and whispered, "Good Bye Ryuu, take care of yourself and I will wait for your return."
Ryuu left soon after as he boarded the carriage waiting for him, as he walked back his eyes were dazed his mind reeling in the memory of getting kissed as he was alternating between different shades of red.
As he boarded he was greeted with a grinning visage of Shamiran a grin he was too familiar with causing him to pale, his sisters knew and now they would tease him relentlessly.
Shamiran mimicked as false male voice as she spoke, "G-go-good Bye N-narcisa, and ta-take care."
Sylvana quickly followed her lead as she spoke in squeaky voice, "Good Bye Ryuu, take care of yourself and I will wait for your return."
Before they broke into laughter before an extremely embarrassed Ryuu descended upon them in order to unleash righteous fury on them, as Ryuu chased after them Antaariskh looked at them with an amused smirk on her lips before it turned to a frown as she noticed a troubled expression on Biskha's face.
Antariskha: "Is something troubling you Biskha?"
Biskha just nodded as she spoke, "Permission to speak freely your Highness."
Antariskh just gave a nod of affirmation with that Biskha spoke out her concern, "I do not like Lord Ryuu taking a likening to someone as lowly as that peasant child."
Antariskh: "HO so you are troubled by it."
Biskah just gave a nod of affirmation as Antariskh gave a small giggle at that as she spoke, "Biskha, dear how did you think that any of our sisters and I including our parents will accept Ryuu's having relationship with such a lowly worm, it is like a dwarf trying to touch the moon, it is just a puppy love we will make sure to make Ryuu forget about it, my baby brother deserves much better but currently he should focus on cultivation he has goofed off enough for now."
