Arthur Leywin POV
Three months passed in the blink of an eye. My sister and my birthday also passed, tho my birthday is not as extravagant as my sister's.
I met some students from the academy during my sister's birthday. Unsurprisingly Gideon didn't let the chance pass to see me, during my sister's birthday. But even so, the twin horns couldn't attend on our birthdays due to some reason.
The Twin horns became more famous with jasmine being announced as a white core, and all of them also advance to being an S-class adventurer.
I also gave the phoenix wyrm pendants to my mother and sister. My sister was so happy about it but, I couldn't understand the expressions on my parents faces.
Today is the day. Noah and Caera will come to the manor, I already asked Vincent and Tabitha about it and they don't mind it.
I'm waiting at the door as I see a carriage driving over.
"Arthur, we're here!!!" Noah announced. Jumping from the carriage followed by Caera, then the carriage drive away.
"You don't need to announce it, let's go inside so you can meet my parents and eat together." I said while pushing the door open.
I walked inside the room as Noah and Caera following behind me. We enter the dinning area were the Helstea, my family, and Elijah were waiting. They looked at us, and I then start to introduce them.
"Oh Arthur is this your friends?"Vincent asked.
"Yes, guys meet my friend this is Caera Denoir and Noah Wilson. Noah, Caera this is my family." I introduced them simply before taking a seat.
"Hello guys Welcome to our home, take a seat so we can eat." Tabitha welcomed the both of them. I turn my gaze to my parents and I saw both of them are angry but, they still try to hide it so others can't see it.
I then turn my gaze to Caera and Noah, but their face paled as they look towards my parents.
What the hell is going on?
"Guys are you okay? The both of you look pale." Elijah asked after seeing the expressions of our friends.
"Oh it's nothing, Just feeling a little hot nothing to worry about."Caera said as she wave her hand.
"If you say so."
We continue to eat, and I continue to glanced to my parents and my two friend from time to time.
After we eat I decided to show the rooms they will use, Both of their rooms are beside mine. As I see the both of them settled, I call the both of them in Noah's room. I decided to ask them about what happened earlier since Elijah is still on the shower.
"Hey, do the both of you know my parents?" I asked the both of them. They look at each other before Noah began to explain their relationship.
"In a way, I know the both of them from my father but, their relationship right now is quite complicated because of a misunderstanding as my father tell me." Noah explained I just nod my head in understanding.
"So that's it. So where's you father right now? And why are the both of you are staying at the Glayders castle? And uncle Vincent visit the Sapin Royal family every now and then, why he doesn't seem to know the both of you?"
"I'm sorry, but I can't answer your question. We will explain it to you someday about that." He replied. Before he answer my second question. " As for the others not knowing us. We became an adventurer where we know each other. And we don't really want the others to know about us staying at the castle so we didn't meet anyone."
"Okay I understand, the both of you can rest on your rooms I will take my leave first." I then exited Noah's room and walked to mine. I saw Elijah just finished his shower so I will do mine next.
"Where did you go?" Elijah asked looking at me.
"I had talked with Caera and Noah about something?" I responded before entering the shower room.
Noah Wilson POV
As I watched Arthur leave my room.
"It's a surprise to see the both of them here." Caera said after making sure Arthur already left.
"Yeah, I didn't expect to see them here. If they were here then the others were also here." I replied.
Caera and I talked for a while before she decided it's time for her to sleep. I don't need to sleep because of my lineage so I just sat on my bed.
I began to recall on what happened earlier. It's a surprise to see the both of them here. My father told me they were missing for a long time, I didn't expect to see them here. What's more their son is the person we are tasked to looked for.
I need to tell my father my new discovery, I'm sure he will like it.
Arthur Leywin POV
Today is the day I and the others will enter the Academy. I decided to enter as a scholar mage rather than a battle mage like the others.
"Arthur I can't still believe you choose to attend the academy as a scholar mage rather than a battle mage like us. I heard that many scholar mage are bullied by battle mages students." Said Elijah who was sitting on the bed.
"Oh my, Elijah are you worried for my well being?" I teased him.
"No, I'm sure Elijah wasn't concerned about you. I'm sure he was worried about those kid being sent to the infirmary after looking down at you." Caera is the one who replied, Entering my room.
"Yeah, and I wouldn't be surprised if Arthur will beat a professor there." Noah said leaning on the door and laughing.
"Anyway, do you guys think I can get a girlfriend in the academy?" Elijah seriously asked as he look at us.
The three of us looked at each other before we started laughing.
"For a serious looking man like you, you really worry about such a small thing." Noah said still laughing.
"Don't worry my four-eye friend Im sure that a girl will settle to you somehow." I said after calming down a little.
"It will be impossible with your princely feature alone, What's more, with Noah who was on the same level as you with his amethyst hair and red eyes, I'm sure all of the girls in academy will go crazy because of the two of you. My normal looking self will be less attractive with the both of you around." Elijah said, while Caera pat his shoulder in comfort, With me and Noah laughing.
"Don't worry my four-eye friend girls around our age look like children to me. And I'm sure you will find a black hair girl with glasses and you will leave happily, and will have a baby with glasses." I said as Noah still laughing at the back.
"Your words didn't reassure me at all." Elijah replied.
Ellie then enter the room showing me her uniform.
"Brother do I look good." Ellie said showing us her battle mage uniform.
Ellie in the past months do everything she could to convince both my parents, and me to allow her to enter the academy with us.
We allowed her to enter the Academy but with some condition. She will focus to her training before we enter the Academy. And to make a break through from solid-orange stage to ligh-yellow. And she will enter the Academy with a concealer like us, and she will be at the dar-red stage. And she agreed to all of our conditions and fullfil them all.
I asked Gideon for a mana concealer for my sister, and an attribute concealer for myself.
I will attend the academy as a light-yellow stage as both Noah and I agreed before. And I will enter as dual elemental attribute wind and earth and their deviances.
"Yeah, you look good at it." I compliment her, then a realization hit me.
My sister is becoming more and more mature, later she will be surrounded by boys trying to court her. I feel a pat on my back, I turn my head to see Noah patting my back as if reading my mind. He then picked up Sylvie from the bed placing her on the top of his head.
"Ellie you look pretty" Caera praised her and they start chatting about the class they will attend.
"Let's go guys. I'm sure the others are waiting for us at the dinner table." Elijah said as he get up from the bed and walking out, followed by Noah with Sylvie on the top of his head then my sister and Caera.
I checked myself at the mirror one more time before, I followed behind them.
"Took you guys long enough, who are you trying to impress?" My mother said putting the newly cooked foods in the table. While Tabitha giggled behind. But I can still my mom. Eyeing Caera and Noah.
"Aunt Tabitha, where's Lilia? Isn't she here last night?" My sister asked Tabitha.
"Lilia have some works to do and she just came here last night because he forgot something, she left as soon as he wakes up. She will be on the stage later so you guys better cheer her" Tabitha responded. And we all nodded our heads.
"Oh my boy, and my little princess grow up so fast. I can't still believe they are going to enter the most prestigious Magic Academy in the continent. We raised them well right honey." My father said entering the dinning area, glancing for a while at Caera and Noah who just smiled at him.
"What do you mean by 'we', I was the only one that raised him." My mother scoffed giving him a sly grin.
"I guess the only times I raised my children were they got into trouble then?" My father raised a brow.
"As long as you know." My mother stated matter-of-factly causing the whole table to chuckle.
The only one missing is were Vincent and Lilia. Since Lilia was part of the student council so she had some work to do as Tabitha said. While Vincent is part of the management committee of the ship, dicatheous, setting sail today. Dicatheous is the name of the ship I gave to Gideon.
"I was still pretty surprised since Arthur decided to attend as scholar mage. Since battle mage students hug all the glory after graduation." Tabitha said. Lilia was a battle mage even with a disagreement with both of her parents.
After we finished eating, the carriage that will send us also arrived at the gate.
"Mom, Ellie, do you guys still have the necklaces?." I asked as they both let it out to show me. I know that no one will dare to harm them but I wanted to make sure.
"Do you guys have everything you need? Ellie do you have your bow?"my mother asked us. I nodded my head to tell her I have everything I need. While Ellie also nodded and took out an elven bow from her ring that Twin Horns send as a birthday gift, and showed it to my mother.
The elven bow is the gift my sister anonymously received during her birthday. But I know for sure where it came from or who gave it.
"Come visit us sometimes." My mother said hugging us.
"We will mom don't worry."Ellie replied.
"Arthur take care of your sister, and remember to visit us." My mother said to me once again.
"Yes mom don't worry I will take care of Eleanor, I will ask Director Cynthia later to place both Caera and Ellie at the same room. And we will visit you guys from time to time." I reassured her.
"Take care of yourself mom." I said before we walked to the carriage.
"Hey! You don't have to say something to your Dad?" My dad shouted as if hurt that he was forgotten.
"Just don't cause some trouble to mom. And don't destroy the lawn while training." I responded as My mother giggle.
"Cheeky brat" my Father replied.
"Destination Xyrus Academy!" Elijah pointed his hand on the air dramatically.
??? POV
In a large room, you can see nine people were gathered for a meeting.
"My Lord, why do we need to wait if we can attack them ourselves since their current force is weakened. With our army we can annihilate them easily." One of the person persuaded the person in the middle.
"Thats too risky, Those bastard always have the elements of surprise with them. Even I would admit that dealing with them are too tricky." Said a man who was sitting on the right side of the man in the middle.
"As he said, it's too risky if we attacked them ourselves and we also took a great damage on our last fight against them. Some of our kin is still missing and we don't know if they wert still alive or not." Said the man in the middle.
Suddenly the door was push open. A man clad in a sleek black armor and a blood red cape that matched its eyes. With a pale grey skin and two horns that curled down and under its ears lining it's chin, can be seen entering. The man then took a knee before he start speaking.
"My Lord we finally found them"
