"Mother."
The girl hugged her sick mother as we arrived, their house was just any other normal house it had the basic necessities.
"You're back Mistoria."
"I'm back mom"
"Oh I see you brought back a guest, welcome my name is Lune and I'm sorry I couldn't prepare anything.
Mistoria looked at me at a loss, I nodded at her mother.
"I'm also sorry for suddenly arriving, it's just that Mistoria has been hiding things from me."
"Ah yes, she's always been that way since she was young, I didn't even know she had a beloved until tonight."
"She's been hiding that much from you? I see she's not proud of me."
"Oh I hit the mark? What's your name I'm quite curious to know the name of my daughters beloved."
"It's Claude."
As we were conversing, Mistoria on the side was at a loss on what to do or say, she didn't expect this would happen, she bit her lip and then decided to go out for awhile.
"Mistoria told me you were sick."
"Yes, don't worry about it, I can just sleep it off."
"Let me take a look, I'm a doctor."
"Then please."
I didn't even need to check, I already knew who she was, who Mistoria was and what their circumstances were.
I placed my hand on her arm and pretended to grimace.
"What is it?"
"It's not good."
"I see, can you keep it from Mistoria?"
"I can, but I won't."
"You're from House Rayne right?"
"Yes"
"I see, she's in good hands then."
I nodded, I then casted [ Cure ] right now it was at level 9, next to the maximum level and I was proficient in it, I won't say I can cure anything but I know I could cure most diseases.
Until I reach level 10 in it I wouldn't be cocky, only me and my mother were proficient in healing spells others were stuck at level 5 and 6 at most in all healing spells.
"Thank you, I feel lighter."
"You're already cured Mrs. Endoss."
"So you also know of my background."
"Green Hair isn't something that's common."
"Can you keep it from Mistoria?"
"This I can."
"Thank you."
Endoss, one of the original six houses, they've fallen so low that they were forgotten in history.
They specifically specialize in stealth and assassination in the continent of Listeria, due to the riskiness of their missions they were dwindling until Lune and Mistoria were left.
Shortly after I cured her Mistoria came in, she saw her mother who was now standing, she had a severe disease, it was similar to Muscle dystrophy in which was caused by a blockage of Mana in her body.
I simply removed and cured her muscles and the thing that blocked the mana flow in it.
"You're back Mistoria, see I'm fine, you found yourself a keeper."
"Mom, sit back down, can I talk to Cla-Claude?"
"Sure."
I nodded and followed Mistoria, it was already late and I didn't have any plans to stay here any longer.
"Is this what you wanted? To at least let me see her happy before I die?"
"Maybe."
I saw tears running down her face now, If I remember correctly her mother would die during winter, it was when she would leave Listeria and become a thief.
Well Afterwards she would become on of the top three assassins in the continent but now it would be different, she now had a reason to stay but I also need to give her a new reason to strive for.
I went near her, I then grabbed her by the chin, she looked pitiful as tears kept rolling down, she looked ready to accept her fate.
I then placed my face near her ear.
"You can choose on how to repay me, you can also choose to not to, either way I'm sure you'll know who I am soon enough."
I then turned around and left her, it wasn't raining so I didn't need to be extra, I know she would find me a few days later as it was in her character to pay off the debts she had owed.
Well that's still a few days off and I'm going to Norayata a month ahead of schedule as I need to settle some things before.
_
I arrived at the manor, and I directly went to my bed, I wasn't exhausted physically, but mentally I was.
Mother was busy working at the infirmary or wherever, she just wanders around looking for people to heal, Father is at the borders as per usual which means I'm alone.

I'm quite satisfied with myself but I knew I needed more.
But all in all I liked it, it was unconventional, and Elf who mastered the use of Lightning and Ice, heck even my father didn't expect me to use these two.
Why would I go with the usual route of an Elf using Wind and Earth? Sure they're strong but I personally prefer Lightning and Ice they are just more suited to my style.
I also do want to practice Wind Spells and Earth spells but I can just learn it in the academy.
Though my mother could teach me I only asked her to teach me basic spells, she was even shocked that I chose the most unconventional route an Elf could specialize.
"Unlimited Power"
Lightning cackled on my hand as it surged through my hand, it had a pale blue color, I chuckled, I then stopped and the lightning was gone.
I stopped and then looked at how late it was, I then heard someone knocking on my door.
'Who?'
Well no one was stupid enough to try and rob this place and since the manor also had guards it was probably someone I knew or my parents know about.
As soon as I opened the door.
"Claude."
"Elludin?"
"Surprised?"
"Yeah? Come in."
Elludin nodded and barged right it, well I did say he can come in.
"I have a favor."
"A favor?"
"You're coming with us to Noryata right?"
"Why"
"I want you to back me up."
"Excuse me?"
I thought I heard the most absurd thing.
"I-I'll release all the slaves under me! If you could act as my body guard and well wingman, I want to progress things with Aerin but I don't know how."
"I don't know what to say."
"Please! It's my last chance and when I become King I promise I'll make you my right hand! You can have everything you want, You can do all the illegal stuff and I won't bat an eye!"
I sighed and instantly appeared behind him with a blade on his neck.
"On the count that you're from the five families I'll pretend I didn't hear what you said just now."
"I'm sorry Claude!"
I then retracted the blade and stood behind.
"Get out before I change my mind."
"I have one last favor!"
'This Imbecile.'
"What."
"Can you at least keep people away from Aerin?"
"Is that it?"
Elludin nodded vehemently.
"Consider it done then."
"Thank you! I'll be leaving now."
Elludin then ran away, I closed the door and as soon it did I snapped my fingers.
"Captain."
Three elven royal guards appeared behind me as I went to my bedroom door.
"Tell the King what has conspired today."
"We understand!"
They soon left the house in a flash, I sighed and immediately laid down on the bed and closed my eyes.
