Aslan was the quiet type of kid. He followed his every command without exception so that King Villiers knew Aslan's fighting ability was higher than most of his peers. He then let Aslan join the troops and became the youngest knight at the age of ten.
However, Aslan showed remarkable progress. King Villiers saw a tremendous asset, and at the age of eleven, he enrolled Aslan in the academy. The boy always got high marks even though he could never beat Howland's. What pleased King Villiers was that Aslan and Howland later became good friends.
Graduating from the academy at the age of eighteen, Aslan rejoined the royal knight and was promoted to be a commander-in-chief of the knights. Aslan grew closer to the royal family, and King Villiers also treated him like his own son.
