Chereads / Lord of Ice and Fire / Chapter 9 - Rewards

Chapter 9 - Rewards

After 10 minutes Arc arrived at his house.

*Knock Knock*

Around 20 seconds later an old lady opened the door. Arc's Grandma looked at her Grandson for a moment before hugging him.

" Grandma, i am home."

" Arc, i was so worried." Grandma said while hugging Arc." Where were you? Your father searched for you in the forest b-but he wasn't able to find you."

" Don't worry Grandma, i am fine, look." Said Arc while showing his Grandma that he had no injuries." I only need a bath and some warm food."

" Thank God." Grandma then took a deep breath and said with a cold voice. " Arcador Enders, take a bath and go to your room, i will bring you food later. When your father returns home, he shall deal with you, and trust me when i say that Edward is mad. Now GO."

" Yes, mam." Said Arc while running towards his room.

After Arc arrived at his room, he took a much-needed bath and laid on his bed. ' This trip was worth it, i managed to reach low body transformation realm, i learned some of my former martial arts, got a lot of gold coins, and even more importantly spiritual stones even though they are useless at my level. I also saved a princess who might have a spiritual body. Why do i think that she might have a spiritual body? Well, when i first saw her she had grey eyes now she has blue and even though there are a few cultivation manual and skill that allows us to change our eye color, she hasn't even begun her cultivation journey yet, so it's impossible for her to change her eye color.' Thought Arc.

After a couple of minutes of thinking, he decided to sleep until his father arrives home.

*Snore Snore*

4 hours later Arc heard someone yelling his name and before he could react, he got hugged.

"ARC, you are finally back." Said Luke, while hugging Arc.

" W-What? Ah Luke, hello." Said Arc as he slowly got up from his bed while Luke was still hugging him.

*Smack*

*AGHH*

" Who dares hit me?!" Said Arc while looking around, someone smacked in the head. As he turns his head around he sees his father looking at him with anger in his eyes.

" Daddy?"

*Smack*

" Ouch, CHILD ABUSE." Yelled Arc while rubbing his head.

*Smack*

" Get up Arc and stop the nonsense, we have a long conversation ahead of us and Luke, stop hugging him." After saying that, the father of the two children left Arc's room.

" You are in big trouble brother, i shall pray for you." After saying that, Luke also got up and left the room.

" Ah shit, now i have to do the most troublesome part, listening to the two-hour-long talk of my father and then getting a punishment..." Muttered Arc while slowly getting himself ready.

10 minutes later Arc was inside his father's study waiting for his father to begin his usual talk.

" I heard that you saved a princess." Said Edward while looking up from his desk. " You did a good job son, i am sure that the royal family will heavily reward you. But what you did was truly irresponsible, going out alone in the forest, lying to your Grandma, do you know how worried she was? She blamed herself..."

After a long time Edward stopped talking for a second, he looked at Arc and said "Arc, i know that you are far more mature and smarter than kids your age, but you can't do stuff like that, you might be fine but think of your family. Now go, i have a lot of things to do."

Arc was surprised when he heard that.

" Is that all?" Asked Arc while looking at his father.

" Yes, now go."

" Ok." After saying that Arc left the study of his father.

' Hmm, how weird, how come he didn't punish me? Weird.'

Some time passed and the experts from the royal family finally arrived.

" Arc, come here, the experts from the royal family want to see you." Said Luke while looking at Arc who was practicing his martial arts.

" Eh? They are here? Why didn't you tell me sooner?" Said Arc while picking up a bucket filled with water and emptying it on his body.

" Because i didn't know that they had arrived. Seems like there is a problem in the kingdom, so the royal family want to take Princess Caroline back in secret." Said Luke.

" It doesn't matter now, do i look presentable?" Said Arc.

" You look like a cat that just run a marathon and fell onto a lake." Said Luke.

" Excellent, now let's go."

After saying Arc followed Luke to the village head's home, where the royal experts were staying.

" Arc, you are finally here, come, this is Royal Sage Jacob he i-" Just as the village head was about to say more things about the Royal Sage, he got interrupted by him.

" We don't have the time for this, Arcador Enders, for saving the princess the royal family will grant you a wish as a reward, now tell what do you want?" Said the Royal Sage with an impatient voice.

" Yes, i want...a... hmm, i want me and brother to get admitted to the royal academy." Said Arc after a couple of moments.

" I don't have the authority to send you to the royal academy in the capital, but i can get you two in the local academy." Said the Royal Sage.

" Thank you, Royal Sage." After saying that Arc bowed to the Sage realm expert.

" Good, i will inform the dean of the academy, to enter the academy one must be 12-years-old, remember that." After saying that the Royal Sage lifted himself from the chair and disappeared.

' A shame, i wasn't able to say goodbye to the princess.' Thought Arc.

'WAIT.'

" Old man, how am i supposed to enter the academy? The Royal Sage only knows my name, he doesn't even know my brother's name. Fu-"

Just as Arc was about to curse a hole opened in front of him and two emblems fell on his hand, along with a letter. Arc opened the letter.

" Arcador Enders, i thank you for saving my life, when the situation calms down, i will try to meet you. The third Princess of the Kaezia kingdom.

P.S. When you go to the academy, show them the two emblems and they will allow you to enter."

" Is that it?" Muttered Arc while looking at the piece of paper. " Eh well, at least this solves my problem."

" Thank you Arc." Said Luke while hugging Arc.

" You did a good job Arc." Said the village head while patting the head of Arc.

5 minutes later.

" ENOUGH, stop hugging me you little shit." After saying that Arc began to beat his older brother.
