Chapter 062: Return to the Capital

Two days passed quickly. It was time for Ats to return to the capital to study. So did the entourage from the Altair Imperial Family.

"Master, thank you for your hospitality during this time," said Professor Han as the head of the entourage, "Sorry because we've had a lot of trouble for you and your family."

"Yes, I don't care" Master Aruj replied flatly, "I'm just grateful to be able to meet my granddaughter whom you've been holding."

"Ehem," Princess Elnara cleared her throat, "Please understand our stubbornness, Master. We did it for Ayya's own safety. You must have understood my point after seeing what happened yesterday."

"Hais ...," Master Aruj sighed. He looked at Ayya who was standing next to Ats. There was pity in his eyes. He could understand Princess Elnara very well. "I knew. As long as you guys can take good care of them, I don't matter at all."

"You don't have to worry about that, Master," Princess Elnara guaranteed, "We definitely take care of her and protect her as best we can."

After which, Professor Han conversed with the Asir Family Head. He talked for a moment before leaving. The head of the Asir Family also told Ats who would participate in the group.

"Ats," called the Asir Family Head. He is the younger brother of Ats' father. If the Imperial Grand Admiral were still alive, he would definitely not occupy that position right now, "You learn the hard way. Go wherever you want. Look at the world that is beyond measure. You even have a great opportunity to visit a place outside the constellation. But you have to remember. This Asir family is where you come home. Think about my offer too. From the beginning, you deserve that."

"I will think about it carefully, Chief Uncle," Ats replied formally. Currently, the position of Young Master Asir was already held by Emir Asir, the eldest son of the current head of the family who was extremely talented. Even so, there are still many people who feel Ats is more worthy in that position even though Ats himself does not like it. "My time at the academy is still a lot. It must be more than enough time."

"Never underestimate the time," the Asir Family Head said, "If until you underestimate the time, you won't realize until that time almost precedes you."

"I understand, Uncle," Ats nodded in response. The group also left. During the trip, Ayya continues to stick to Ats. After all, this was his last chance to spend time with his older brother.

"Sister, stay in the palace first," Ayya said as soon as they reached the capital, "The academy will only open tomorrow."

"No," replied Ats, "Today, many have arrived at the dorm."

"Sir ...," Ayya put on an annoyed face. His cheeks are bulging. It makes Ats anxious to pinch him.

"Sister is unlikely to stay at the Golden Tulip Palace, Ay," Ats tried to find some understanding. Hearing that, Ayya looked at Princess Elnara with a hopeful look while giving her a code to allow Ats to stay overnight.

"Can't, Ay," Princess Elnara shook her head firmly, "The Golden Tulip Palace is the palace of the princesses. No man can go in there, let alone stay."

"Ay—" Ats wants to give a message for Ayya to let go. However, Princess Elnara interrupted first, "You don't need to stay in the Golden Tulip Palace. I'm sure your Asir Family has a residence in the capital. Just use what you have."

"It was troublesome," Ats immediately complained, "Too many procedures to go through. I've never been there either."

"That's not as hard as you think Ats," Doctor Razana offered help, "Let me take care of it. You guys just come along later."

"Hm, okay," Ats agreed then. He looked at Ayya, "Where, Ay?"

"Come on!" Ayya agreed immediately. They decided to stay at the Asir Family Residence in the capital. The residence was immediately busy upon hearing the news of their arrival plans, even Emir Asir who happened to occupy it. To give them a chance to prepare, Dr. Razana invites her nephew to take a walk in the capital first.

"Our genes fail? Isn't he our executive on Reda Island?" duke Altalimain asked for accountability. His face was hardened. There was burning embers in his eyes.

"Prince Han and Princess Elnara visited there, Sir," replied Arunqa Bey reasoned, "It seems, the rumors regarding the marriage of the bachelor prince are true. They came to Reda Island to propose to the daughter of the Asir Family."

"What does this have to do with your failures?" Duke Altalimain did not accept such trivial reasons. Arunqa can only answer according to the report he received. "Master, that daughter of the Asir Family is the real aunt of Young Master Asir. Likely, he's too busy with his family's events to accept our agent's invitation."

"Is that worth mentioning?" Duke Altalimain would not accept such a ridiculous excuse. His hands clenched tightly. His gaze pierced sharply.

"Master, Young Master Asir has already accepted his invitation," Arunqa replied hesitantly, "But, he only sent an envoy on that invitation without coming directly."

"Shais ...!" Duke Altalimain was inexhaustible. In fact, the boy was of little importance until he had to send his executives on Reda Island to persuade. After all, the research on the system was still not completely completed. There are still many gaps and the possibility of failure. So, there's no point in hoping too much.

"Have it, forget he joined us for now," Duke Altalimain did not care anymore, "Just keep an eye on his research. If they succeed, then we take it like it or not."

"Understanding," Arunqa accepted the edict without the slightest protest. With that command, he immediately thought of various plans, both in a subtle and crude way. That way, as long as the Duke of Altalimain gave the order, he could directly carry it out.
