"Sister," said Ayya behind the screen of Grandma Amina—'s device until finished bathing, Ats' phone was not found. The little girl waved her hand cheerfully, "How are you? Healthy, right?"
"It's healthy" Ats smiled. It's the first time she's seen her sister's face online, "Ayya herself is healthy, right?"
"Yes," Ayya replied with the same smile, "Big brother, aren't you at the banquet?"
"Sorry, yeah. My sister was not so happy at the show. Brother just found out that Ayya wanted to come when she was on the train. If you knew early, you would have come, too" Ats said with guilt in his heart. Although Ayya smiled at him, she could still see a faint disappointment on her little sister's face.
The two of them had never met in person since childhood due to the difference in custody between the Asir Family and the Imperial Family. In addition, Ayya is also often sickly because of her weak body. Therefore, the relationship between the two is hampered.
"If so, then Big Brother will return to the capital early, yes," pinta Ayya with a thinner smile. There was great hope conveyed from his words. He asked Ats earnestly.
"Have brother try," promised Ats. He remembered something, "Oiya, don't you want to come with Aunt Razana back here?"
"Emm?" ayya's eyes widened, looking interested in things. He turned to his right and left to confirm something, then said excitedly, "You! I'm going with Aunt Razana to Brother's house. I'll tell auntie later. My sister also said, yes. Let Aunt Elnara give me permission."
"Yes," Ats nodded. He had a small jerk when Ayya called "House of Brother". It shows how far apart their relationship has been, even though they are siblings.
"Promise, yes," Ayya confirmed, "Let's go to the capital together after that."
"Promise" Ats said solemnly, "Auntie would love to go home with you."
"Hm," Ayya nodded in agreement. Doctor Razana must be happy, but I don't know Princess Elnara. They also talked about some random topics. Come on who speaks more. He tells his daily life cheerfully. Ats was very happy even if he just listened to it. They stopped before the sun sank.
Ats carried out his worship activities as usual after that. After all his activities were over, he took the time to visit the dormitory of the tamids or students at his grandfather's college. Most of them were the younger generation of the Asir Family, but many also came from outside. Ats used to live in that dormitory.
"Warning! Stalker detected!" Arselan. Ats stopped in his place. His current position was already close to the tamid dormitory. By the time he got to that dormitory, it should have been safer than alone.
In an instant later, Ats activated his particle technique. His body melted into tiny particles which then flew swiftly to the gate of the dormitory.
"Who is that!?" the gatekeeper of the dormitory was shocked. He was fretting about putting up horses. His eyes were looking out at the figure whose body was starting to look.
"Young Master?" the gatekeeper was increasingly surprised to see the figure of the young man who had come. He replaced his horses with respect.
"Maybe not in the Asir Family," replied the guard who remained in that respectful attitude position, "But you remain the young master of this college."
"Bless your head," Pinta Ats later, "I don't like that formal. Anyway, I'm also a student at this college."
"For a long time no see, Young Master," the guard raised his fist. He was a burly middle-aged man. According to Arselan's assessment, he was a peak expert level practitioner, a little more before becoming an early stage master.
"It's only been six months, Mr. Dani," Ats felt it wasn't long, "I've only been away for a semester."
"Ah, I see, yes," Mr. Dani scratched his non-itchy head while chuckling, "Maybe I waited too long for And—'s arrival"
Mr. Dani glanced out the gate. He stretched out his arms to guard Ats from possible danger. His body is reflexive doing just that.
"Young Master," called Mr. Dani, "There's someone who's infiltrated here. Please enter first, let me yang—"
"Akh ...!!!"
Bruk!
"You again," Ats stared intently at a thick moustached man lying down not far from the gate of the dormitory. The man looked distressed by something. His hands tightly shut their ears as if hearing a very deafening sound.
"A—ampun, Tu—Young Master," said the man stammeringly. This is the second time he has experienced such pain today. "S—me ti—not intend ja—evil at all."
"Who are you?" Mr. Dani unsheathed the sword that had been hidden behind his waist. He looked at the thick-moustached man coldly.
"Tell me the truth! You're not from White Cloud College, are you?" Ats recalled that this afternoon the man had introduced himself as the envoy of the White Cloud College, but Arselan detected that it was a lie.
"I am indeed not an official member" replied the thick mustache reasoned. Ats had stopped the waves from radiating to him, so he could speak more fluently now, "But I am really a messenger from there. You'll find out tomorrow morning."
"What do you mean?" Ats looked suspiciously.
