Chapter 21 - Pleasing to the eye

Au Fuji sat opposite his father, the man was an older version of himself--at least, it was what he thought.

The Au patriarch is a serious man, he was tall, well built and always immaculately dressed.

Right now, he had the transparent screen up showing him--Au Fuji the different schools he had chosen for him to attend.

From among those ten, he had narrowed it down to three.

Au patriarch frowned, before speaking, he may show favouritism towards this firstborn son but it did not mean that he would allow the two to attend the same school.

"Your concubine born elder brother is attending this school, there is no need for a filler child to attend the same school as the legally born child. From the two remainings, select one."

Au Fuji stared at the remaining schools, these will be the schools he will attend for the next six years with one short break each year.

One school was located nearby, with the personalised hover vehicle, specifically modified by his father, he could be there in less than a day.

Au Fuji even thought of having one of the hover vehicles presented to little Ra as a gift but he was still too young right now with no power or foundational knowledge on how to build a hover vehicle worthy of little Ra.

He frowned thinking that while he was away he will take the time to learn, for now, little Ra is still young.

The other school would take three days with the flight over the second sea.

One school only took in five hundred students every three years making it hold a total of one thousand students, while the other much larger, had faculties Au Fuji found pleasing to the eye.

He had just thought of making a hover vehicle for little Ra, the natural material nearby could be used anyway.

"The Trauben school, seems like a decent choice father,"

"Mm, then I shall send out the information today, in two days you will depart. Pack your thinking by then. Dismissed."

"Yes father, this son will take his leave,"

Au Fuji left the study and walked to his own rooms.

This main home has three levels; the lowest level consists of the servants quarters, sunroom, kitchen, greeting area, tea room, two ballrooms, and other rooms that are not worth mentioning.

The second floor is for the concubines and their children, the close servants serving them and also for the second wife.

The third floor is reserved for the master, the heir and his wife with their personal servants.

The entire property, has the mansion for all close servants and concubines, the farmhouse, servant's homes, stables, and homes for visitors.

No one is allowed inside the main home unless specified by the Au family head.

This is the home Au Fuji had been born and raised, he scoffed, eventually, this home will burn.

The next two days were spent conversing with the small girl who sweetly called him big brother.

She had learned quite fast, proving that even though he will be absent she will be safe.

In a way he wanted her to be weak and in need of him but he knew that it might stunt her growth, plus he had his grandmother, she should be fine.

His personal servants who would have otherwise attended him he looked at the two and pursed his lips.

One had assisted little Ra before and had even conversed with her a bit, this servant was also quite capable, even more, capable than the other one.

coming to a conclusion he decided to leave her behind to protect her and train a few personal servants to serve little Ra in the future.

"Quai Victoria,"

The young girl dressed in an ankle-length uniform--skirt, stockings, inside frill high collar shirt, vest jacket and a simple hairpin of medium quality to secure her straight silky strands.

Dipping her head she then replied in a soft tone, "this servant greet master,"

she then proceeded to dip her head hands in front of her knees slightly bent in greeting before standing to await her orders.

"You will be tasked with serving little Ra until my return."

Inwardly, Quai Victoria was conflicted.

Her duty is to serve the remaining direct descendant of the Kai family but now she is tasked with something much more difficult.

To serve the small Ancestor.

Would she even be able to survive?

Still, even if she had inner thoughts, Quai Victoria did not dare display them on her face or betray them by breathing a word of denial.

Instead, she curtsied once more and agreed.

"I will be leaving, so it is best you leave immediately, I have also transferred some items using them with ease."

"This servant abides by master's instructions."

With that Quai Victoria stood and left, feeling extremely nervous.

Slipping from the Au property, Quai Victoria climbed into the awaiting hover vehicle sitting in the back and closing her eyes for the duration of the journey.

How will she please that ancestor, without seeking death?
