Chapter six: A Plan.
On the way home in the horse-drawn carriage, Arthur was busy struggling with his thoughts.
So in the end, I'll still be out of the palace. Travelling to Melvielle village looking for a cure for Mama.
Arthur looked at Killian who was sitting in front of him eating the cake.
If I go, what about Killian? Should I take him to Melvielle Village?
No, it would be more dangerous to bring a child who has not been able to control his strength.
"Thank God Young Master Killian found Young Master Arthur. If it can't be wretched, I'm yelled at Madame Head Kitchen." Tina sat next to Arthur.
"I told you not to worry, Young Master Killian has Ras Elves genetic, of course will find Young Master Arthur easily!" Sia patted Killian's shoulder proudly.
Ras Elves is famous for having the advantage of being easily friendly to nature. They can hear what nature says—it's because of their special ear shape. And their red eyes have the ability to see long distances— about 50 meters.
However, their magic power is not very great. Because of Mana they were only able to learn one magic element only.
"You're right." Tina smilingly watched Killian who did not care about their chatter. Killian only cares about sweet food in her hands.
"Young Master Arthur doesn't want to eat cupcakes?" Tina asked.
Arthur shook his head. "I don't like sweet food."
"Eh? Then why ask me to buy an apple cupcake?"
"For Aide." Arthur glancing jeril. "Tina could give that cupcake to Aide. Aide really likes apple cupcakes! Oh, but don't tell me that cupcake was Arthur's gift."
"Well! Young Master Arthur was aware of it as well, hihi." Sia teases Tina.
Tina smiled shyly. "Thank you so much Young Master Arthur."
Arthur's carriage finally arrived in front of the Mansion's courtyard.
Aide greeted his two Young Masters. "Welcome back young master Killian, welcome back young master Arthur."
Aide helps carry groceries.
"Young Mr. Killian."
Another man's servant named Gio came to Killian.
Arthur once talked and asked about Gio's race. The bodyguard replied that he was from the Ariu Race.
From the book Arthur read...,
Famous for its power of being able to create ice magic without the need to learn the basic magic merging of water and air, making the Ariu Race the strongest Race after the Arthan Race.
Unlike the other races who chose the sovereign leadership system, Ras Ariu chose the royal leadership system. The entire Ariu Race was known to be arrogant because they were very difficult to work with. They will never be under the command of anyone but their own race.
However, due to a previous treaty, there was one Ariu family who served as stewards of the kingdom of Earthania until now. Gio is one of the descendants of the Ariu Ras family.
Gio bowed respectfully as a greeting, before making a sound again. "Mr and Mrs Sander are coming. They want to talk to you."
Killian nodded in response. He raised both his hands. "Loof."
Gio smiled faintly, he picked up Killian, carried her and left first.
Arthur stared at Gio and Killian.
The sander.. They were both Killian's uncle and aunt.
The Sander family was one of the Elf Race nobles who contributed to the development of the famous magic academy in Earthania, Magithania.
Therefore, it can be estimated that Mr. Sander and Lady Sander came to meet Killian is to invite him to enter Magithania.
It seems like my adventure is about to begin.
•••
Krieett..
Arthur who was drawing raised his head, staring at the open door of the room.
Killian walks into the room with Gio's waiter.
Because just to take Killian back to the room, Gio said to go back. Now there's only Arthur and Killian in the room.
Killian's tiny body approached Arthur who was drawing on the floor.
Arthur hurriedly folded his drawing paper, keeping it in his shirt pocket. Arthur changed his stomach to sit. He noticed Killian's scowling face.
"What's wrong?" Arthur asked in curiosity.
"Uncle and aunt invited me to a magic school."
"not good? Why are you pouting so?"
Killian looked at old Arthur, then said, "They're talking ugly about Arthur."
Killian sat next to Arthur. "They said Arthur was weak, had no magic, didn't deserve to be in a magic school. Ugly again, they say Arthur doesn't deserve to be in this world."
Arthur rubbed his cheek slowly. Confused what to respond.
Yeah, it's true I don't have magic.
Arthur then remembered something. He took out a piece of paper left on the floor.
"Who said I don't have magic? Hey Killian, watch! I can make this paper fly all the way to the city!"
Killian's bending face turned curious.
Arthur smiled confidently. He then folded the paper in such a way as to form a plane.
"Who.. Arthur can form a bird out of paper!" Killian.
It's aircraft... But never mind, even explained will not understand.
Arthur stood up, walking towards the window. "Take a good look!" Arthur raised his hand high, then swung his hand down, tossing the paper plane as hard as he could, soaring far out of the Palace to the city as he said.
Heh, whereas I didn't seriously say I could fly all the way to the city.
"Yohhhh!!!" Killian jumps up in excitement.
Arthur lifted his chin, ruffled his waist, not forgetting to show a confident smile. "Sufuku.. Look, I have magic too!"
Arthur shook his head, "Can't. If I show it later they're following my great skills!"
"My great ability is a secret to both of us, okay?" Arthur put his index finger in front of his lips, he smiled widely until his eyes smiled.
"Secret...? Okay!"
"Ehm, so.." Arthur walked up to his study table, picked up a piece of paper to make another paper airplane. "Killian refused to go to magic school because I couldn't go?"
Killian nodded in confirming. "I don't want to go alone without Arthur. If I leave, who will protect you? Arthur doesn't have magic."
"Hey, didn't you just see I have magic."
"The magic power of the paper's basic object cannot hurt others."
Arthur grimaced as his index finger scratched the side of the paper. "Who said paper can't hurt anyone else?" Arthur points at his bleeding index finger.
"Blood!" Killian hurriedly wrapped Arthur's index finger with both palms, then attempted to do something. "Why didn't it work? I read in the book, anyone with the Elf Race gene can heal!"
Arthur smiled faintly, "That's because you haven't learned it yet."
Killian. Looking up at old Arthur. "Arthur wants me to go to magic school?"
"Really! So that you can heal and protect anyone!"
"Then how's Arthur?"
"I will also try to protect myself. I'll learn swords, or maybe martial arts."
Killian breathed out slowly. Arthur can guess, Killian is upset that Arthur's desire is not as Killian wishes, though Killian will surely obey what Arthur says.
"Alright, Killian understands."
"Oh yeah Arthur, who's that kid in town, who is he? He's strong!"
Arthur wiped the blood on his index finger with a handkerchief that Arthur always carried whenever anywhere. "He's a thief."
"When at the cake shop, he stole this handkerchief." Arthur showed me his handkerchief. "This is the handkerchief that Tina knitted, of course I don't want to lose it. Tina I already think of as a big sister, so I'll keep all the gifts well." It was obviously Arthur who was lying.
"Ohh.. Well, then, it was lucky that Killian came, right? Killian saved Arthur! We should have taken him to the palace to be punished!"
Arthur stroked Killian's head gently, while smiling meaningfully. "Yes right. Thank you Killian, thank you for saving me."
Killian freezes over because of Arthur's treatment. He turned around quickly, turning his back on Arthur.
Arthur was astonished, but when his eyes saw Killian's reddened ears Arthur smiled with anxiety.
•••
The night has come.
Just like the night before, before going to bed, Killian brought a book of fairy tales to the bed, gave it to Arthur. Asking Arthur to read her a fairy tale book.
Arthur stared at Killian's fairy tale title, "Hansel and Gretel.."
Killian hurried to take a comfortable position beside Arthur. After a while, Arthur began to read the book.
Time passed until a small snore sounded, Arthur stopped his activities.
Killian's asleep.
Arthur puts the fairy tale book on a small table next to the bed, then joins Killian to a dream world.
The silence was long enough in the room. Until Killian's two eyelids finally opened, he rose. His little hand shook to the right and left, in front of Arthur's face.
Convinced Arthur is asleep, Killian gets off the bed. Walk slowly to Arthur's desk. Then look for a folded paper.
Actually, when Killian walked into the room this afternoon, Killian saw what Arthur had drawn. Killian's red-eye ability that made him accidentally see clearly Arthur's image.
At first Killian did not care, but seeing the attitude of Arthur who seemed to want to hide it, Killian so wanted to be sure.
Killian noticed that as Arthur walked to his desk to pick up a piece of paper this afternoon, Arthur hid the folded paper between his stacks of books.
While searching, Killian read one by one the title of the book that Arthur often read. Till the 6th stack of books Killian found brown paper folded.
Killian hurried to pick it up and open it.
A map picture.
In the picture is inscribed Arthur's note: I will go here!—village Melvielle.
Killian pensively for a while, then noticed Arthur sleeping.
Arthur can't leave!
•••
The next day, Arthur wakes up with the bed next to him empty.
It's the first time Killian has woken up before me.
Or maybe I'm the bad guy...
Arthur was standing in front of a large vertical mirror, staring at his reflection after being helped wear clothes by servants.
Okay, I'm already handsome.
"Tina, where's Killian?" Arthur approached Tina. Although there are many servants who help her bathe and make up, Arthur is more comfortable with Tina.
"Young Master Killian is in the front yard, today Young Master Killian has a class practicing magic."
I can't be left behind!
"Has my sword grade teacher come?"
"Mr Franz has come from here.. B-but Young Master Arthur need not worry! Mr. Franz is enjoying tea so he won't realize it's been a long wait!"
Akh, fuck!
Arthur rushed out of the room ahead of Tina, "Tina bring me the sword I used to practice with!"
"Prepare Young Master Arthur!"
