Chereads / The Arcane Tamer / Chapter 27 - City of Landborn

Chapter 27 - City of Landborn

Few weeks passed, Seyric's room was empty.

He was the only one left there. He stood in front of the window. His gaze was fixed on the Ambrosiette Garden for a moment.

Nobility, civilians, and children all strolled through the wide garden plot as the sun glistened behind the clouds.

A buzz of neighborhood echoed through the streets, as many carriages passed through the road.

While Seyric's lips smiled. His heart skipped rhythmic beats as he fluttered his eyes as he held the book 'Tamer Class' in his hand.

Embrace the short moment a little at a time this time.

While footsteps echoed from the hallway, they came to a halt in front of his room, and in a second, a knock rang out.

"Sweetie," Ikaria called while Seyric turned her way.

She stood by the door way. She had a pink long dress on top with white long sleeves and a white ribbon tied to her neck.

"We're almost ready to leave. Prepare yourself, okay?" said Ikaria.

Seyric nodded his head, "Yes, mother. I'm coming in a bit!"

As Ikaria hummed in agreement, she then left the corridor.

While Seyric finally glanced at the garden and scanned them with a wide smile for the last time.

Before he bolted towards the door and bumped into his father along the way.

Euris was stopped in front of his son as he carried a box in his hands. "Oh, son. Why are you still here?"

"Nothing, father. I'm leaving now." Seyric replied.

"No problem, son. You walk first." Euris replied as Seyric paced through the hallway first, before Euris followed behind him.

Both of them exited from the main door as Euris gestured his hands the chanted in his breath, as the metal clanked from inside.

Seyric rushed towards her mother's side, while Ikaria's arm was placed over Seyric's shoulder. She watched Euris head towards them.

Euris halted as he faced Ikaria's gaze. "Get inside now, honey. I'll put this in the wagon."

"Okay, honey." As Ikaria held her hands to Seyric's and opened the carriage door.

Seyric was the first to arrive, while Ikaria joined shortly and sat next to him. He leaned over the window to poke his head out and glanced behind them.

Behind the wagon, Euris paced and rested. Before he returned empty handed.

A glare filled Euris' eyes. "Son, get inside. You might fall there."

The carriage wobbled from the moment Euris entered and sat in front of his wife and son.

Seyric hid behind her mother's arm for a moment before Euris sighed and glanced behind him and stated. "Let's go."

A rope sound echoed from outside before the carriage started to move.

As Seyric blinked his eyes for a moment, he couldn't help to look outside.

While Ikaria and Euris both met gaze, while Euris plastered a serious face, his heart melted from Ikaria's look.

"Father, where are we going?"

Both glanced at Seyric. While Seyric focused his gaze on his father.

Euris' lips were opened for a moment as he cleared his throat. "We're heading to Landborn City and living there, son."

Seyric raised his brows. "What kind of city is that, father?"

Euris took a deep breath. "It is a city for tamers, son. I will no longer encourage you to pursue to be a Magicist anymore. I will let you decide on the stuff you want. I won't push you again."

Seyric's eyes widened. His heart pounded as he jumped into his father's arms. "Thank you, father!"

Euris chuckled as he hugged him back. "No problem, son."

While Ikaria's eyes were fixed on both of them, she placed her hands on Euris' shoulders.

She smile of reassurance as Euris glanced at her and met her gentle look.

It's been an hour and a half, while Seyric lay on Euris' lap. Euris patted Seyric's back while he fixed his gaze from outside.

After the long ride, everything had been silent, until Ikaria decided to speak her mind.

"Is it necessary to stay at the mansion, honey?" She wondered as her hands played.

While Euris finally turned his gaze towards her. Landborn City has no land or house for us to live in yet, of course. Besides, we'll live there over a course of few months.

"Until I'm finished building our home, okay?"

Ikaria nodded her head as Euris smiled at her.

As Euris placed his hand on her arms, he assured her, "Trust me, honey. I'll get it done quickly."

"Alright if you say so." Ikaria said as she glanced over the window as the trees passed over them many times.

After another few hours passed, the carriage moved and wobbled for a moment.

Eventually, Seyric sat up after opening his eyes and rubbing them. Before he took a bit of time to recover from his blurry vision. He glanced outside at the crowd as they marched along the stone path.

They were accompanied by wolves, horses, and many other species from around the area.

Seyric fluttered his eyes as he surveyed the crowd with a gleam in his eyes.

Ikaria glanced at Seyric. "We've just arrived in the city, sweetie."

Seyric glanced over his shoulder with a wide smile. "Mother, can we go out?"

"We'll head immediately to the mansion. By tomorrow we will travel around, okay?" said Euris, while he place his hand on Seyric's back.

"Okay, father." Seyric pouted as he stared at the window again as he admired the view.

A carriage entered the gate and stopped in front of the maid and manservant, while the Butler led the house staff.

As the Cloudflaw family stepped out of the carriage, they all bowed towards them.

"Welcome to the Duke's mansion, Lord Euris Cloudflaw, Lady Ikaria Cloudflaw and Lord Seyric Cloudflaw."

The maid and manservant said in unison, while Seyric glanced towards his parents with his squinted eyes.

"Lord Euris, the servant will handle the baggage. Please come inside. His grace awaits." The Butler lowered his head towards them.

And so the knights open the main door as they're greeted by a wide fancy hall, exquisite vase and garments.

Cloudflaw family finally entered as the butler joined them in before they shut the door behind them.

"Lord Euris, his grace was looking for you. Please meet him at his office." The butler stated while Euris glanced over his family.

"Don't worry, my Lord. I'll show Lord Seyric and Lady Ikaria around the garden." The butler assured.

For a moment, Euris and Ikaria gazed at each other before she nodded and smiled in approval, and he left.
