"What happened outside Aaron?" Amalia ran towards me
"Nothing, I was just having a match with her." I replied
"So who won?"
"Of course it's me who won" I gave her a proud smile.
"I knew it, Aaron you are super strong, I can defeat the old monster if I train with you!" she was like a small child that was happy at the sight of choclate. She looked cute.
"But you have to train hard as well if you want to defeat it"
"Hmm" she nodded cutely.
"Aaron what are you-" as Griffin was speaking, I interrupted, "Not now father, let's continue the banquet"
Understanding the situation he quietly nodded and began the celebration.
"As you all know, I have you here in order to celebrate my son's realm Ascension. He has reached the transformation realm which even I have been unsuccessful in reaching, and he is just 200 years old. We don't know what future holds for him, but I wish it's the best. With that let the celebration start!" Griffin was in a really good mood.
I just walked around and greeted many important guests with Amalia and Lumi beside me because they knew nobody here. Well, neither did I. Only by using this guy's memories I could find out the name of the people and greet them. I was just speaking with Amalia when a Girl that looked the same age as Amalia showed up. I had to go through the memories again to find out. Apparently she was my little sister that always liked to stick with me when I was young but due to familial problems had to stay away.
"Big brother!" she ran towards me with arms wide open. I did what any normal person would do. Pick her up in my arms. "It's been so long since I've seen you Emily" This girl was so cute that I couldn't help hugging her. Even though she was this young looking, she was only 11 years smaller than me. "Big brother, I am so sorry I couldn't see you for so long" She started crying in my arms."Don't cry, as long as I am alive I won't leave you alone." I reassured her.
"Big brother.. do you remember our promise?" she stopped crying as she asked in a low voice.
I searched through this guy's memories to find out exactly what it was. This girl Emily was in love with me (previous owner of the body) but he did not love her in a romantic way. He knew it was bad to be in a romantic relationship with your sister. He also cared about her security thinking that he couldn't always save her in trouble, So Emily made him promise that after he was strong enough, she would follow him wherever he goes. The previous Aaron promised, but he would not allow that when the time came. But I am not the previous Aaron and Emily is his sister not mine so technically she is not my sister. So she can be my lover and that wouldn't be a taboo.
"Of course Emily, but we need to talk about this more after the banquet" I would talk about the details later.
"Hmm big brother I love you!" wow she is so brazen to say that in daylight. She ran away with red cheeks as she said that.
"Wow, so you are a Sis-con and your sister is a Bro-con?" Lumi's eyebrows twitched.
"It's just familial love" trying my best to avoid that death stare. I was searching for John, the third prince, my younger brother and the youngest of us three brothers.
"Aaron" Suddenly Amalia pulled my sleeves.
"Yes what is it?"
"What is a fiance?" she probably heard about it from our conversation earlier. Shit.. she will sooner or later be in the harem so it's better to let her know. "It's somebody that you are engaged too, Later on you marry that person and live with them." I answered briefly.
"So that means you will marry that princess?" she asked.
"Hmm.. probably" I wasn't sure if I wanted to marry her. Marriage is an important decision in life for me, My first wife would be the one I choose and I was not ready yet..
"Will you leave me alone?" she asked with teary eyes.
"Who said I will leave you alone, I'm not sure about marrying her but even if I do, I won't leave you alone after all you are my student and friend."
She smiled brightly at my words.
I was wondering how Saraff was right now, after he was disgraced so much. I was grinning. Just when I was going to say hi to a relative a person spoke up. "Aaron is that your name?" he asked in an authorative voice.
"Yes it is? who may you be?" I asked back because I did not recognise this person from the memories.
"I forgot to introduce myself, I am Alfred, the king of Magnus. Ahh, he is the king of the only human kingdom? He looks like he is on the same level as Luna. All the rest of the kingdoms are alert of my Ascension. Looks like the power balance with shift. I'm not bothered with politics so I'll just ignore that.
"So it's the king of Magnus, Pleased to make your acquaintance, what business so you have?" I asked.
Seeing that I was so nonchalant when he said his identity he was a bit shocked. "Hahah you are just as the rumors say. Extraordinary"
"Thank you for your compliment" I did not use any title such as majesty or king. I showed respect to only my father because he was my biological father (Technically).
"Aaron, I have something I wanted to say" Alfred became serious all of a sudden. "Please say" I wanted to hear what he was going to say.
"What do you think of humans?" he asked.
"What do you mean?" I did not understand what he said.
"I mean, do you think of humans as weak creatures that should not exist?" his expression serious.
"No, I think of humans as any other creatures, weak, I won't do them harm, but If they stand in my way then they have to pay the price." I was serious with what I said
"That's good then" Alfred sighed.
"Why do you ask though?" I did not understand the reason.
"I feared that you would be as stupid as that Saraff who only thought of destroying other creatures weaker then his own race. I don't understand how he became the king" Alfred sighed.
"Don't worry, I won't attack humans without any reason." I reassured him.
"That's good" he was relieved.
"I wanted a favour, King Alfred." I was going to enroll in the school so I think it's time I talked about that.
"Say, prince Aaron" He was relieved so I guess he will agree.
"I wanted to join the human academy" I stated
"You what?" Alfred was shocked.
"As I said, I want to join the human academy, don't you think it will be better if I'm closer to humans, after all we are allies. it'll be good for the long run." I was just spewing Bullsh*t.
"Now that you say.. I think it's reasonable, okay I'll see that your identity won't get leaked too.." Alfred was convinced.
"Thank you" I was happy that things went on so smoothly.
"No, I think it's good for our kingdom too, you don't need to thank me" Alfred was sure that meant what I said earlier.
"But with your strength I don't think you can be a student" Alfred suddenly said.
"Then what do you suggest" If I was not a student I couldn't challenge others so how am I going to get stronger, just when I was thinking about that. Alfred continued "I think it'd be better if you were an instructor"
"But as an instructor could I challenge anyone in the academy?" I asked.
"You can't challenge those below your level but you could challenge people above you, But why do you ask?"
"Just curious" Lies.
"And, every month you can fight with other instructors for increasing your rank. The higher your rank, the more benefits you get. Being the Crown Prince of Drafilli we can't offer you more than what you have." Alfred explained.
"How am I supposed to teach them without knowing about magic though?" I asked.
"Ohh, I almost forgot that you were only taught fighting and not any magical knowledge. You can read the books about magic in the library but could you learn them in just a few weeks?"
"Don't worry, I am not being boastful but I'm a really smart guy" I had Ultra-memory after all.
"That's good to know" He was relieved.
"Okay then, I will inform you when I'm done with the preparations" he continued.
"Could you make three more admissions in the academy for my friends" I almost forgot about Amalia and Lumi. Well now Emily was going to follow me so I had to get her admission too. Teaching her combat skills is a necessity if I want her to be safe.
"Okay I will but who are they. I never knew you had any friends."
"The two of them are right here" I pointed at them as they quickly knelt.
"So they are elves, I'm so sorry for not noticing
you two" He probably thought that they were some other royalties that accompanied me.
"And the third one is my little sister, Emily. She wanted to follow me, so think it's better she learned self defence" I said.
"That's fine, but can you really learn it all in just two weeks?" he was a bit concerned, for a King that was rare.
"Yes I'm sure don't worry" I could easily memorize the whole library.
"Sigh* if you say so"
"That's all I wanted to talk about, I won't disturb you now prince." Alfred walked away as he said that.
"Now I just need to inform father" I muttered.
The rest of the banquet went on smoothly as expected. Neither Luna nor Saraff or his idiot son appeared so they probably went back.
After the banquet father called me and we walked into his room.
"Let's talk" he said.
