Chapter 12 - Farewell.

"You don't know Princess Asriel?" Says the chef of the local tavern, Alaric shipping the delicious Serpent meat, the stronger the serpent the better the meat,

"I should've studied a bit more..." Alaric wondered WHY he didn't learn the history of Asura. He wrote back to Paul, telling him of his time here, and he never responded. Alaric felt awful... But he couldn't do anything, he was kinda stuck here and had a life to get on with... Maybe when he's through he can find Rudeus and the others, but he can't go alone nor is he willing to give up his funds to do so. He was going to live comfortably in the Academy no matter what.

"We'll see you in three years, Master Alaric." Lilia hugged the boy as Flute does so too,

"We're proud of you, Alaric. We really are." Flute explained to Alaric, that never in her life would she raise such a strong young man.

"You best not disappoint ANY of us, kid! Your blade was made by Pilphar, right? SO DON'T DISHONOR HIM EITHER!" Augusta hugged the man tightly, as Alaric, despite seeming uncomfortable with the squeezing, nodded.

"I-I won't, Dad...! Please, stop with the squeezing-" Alaric hoped, as Aisha wasn't here...

"Remember, son. A man shouldn't use his powers for evil purposes. The academy takes on students of Water God style, not Sword or North God, so be on your best behavior-"

"I know, Dad. After all... Reida expects me in a bit over three years, and I've already gained a lot of experience, I just need to train under her until then." Alaric explained... But he was worried about Aisha...

"One moment, please." Alaric knew where she was. She always tended to sleep in his bed, coming in without permission to do so, and upon opening the door...

"Hick! Sniff..." The hicking and sniffing heartbroken girl sits there, holding a bear he bought for her, Aisha cried loudly as she rushed to Alaric,

"I-I don't... Want you to go, big brother...! W-Wahhhh!!!!" Aisha cried so much since, Alaric sighed, smiling as he hugged her, ensuring she had these warm words from him before he departed. She was only 5, she needed some words from her big brother.

"Hey, tell ya what, when I come back eventually, why don't we go out and I can buy you some nice candies! I heard they're selling some at the local bakery." Alaric promised, but Aisha states,

"No! No candies... I-I just... Don't want to see you go..." Aisha explained, but Alaric commented,

"Then how am I supposed to get money for us?" Alaric stopped Aisha as she looked up, remembering...

"We're living so much more nicely since your grandfather's dojo became a success! 5 Silver Coins a month, now that's a steal! It costs about 2 Silver Coins to live here, and your mother gets about 1 Silver Coin a month. Thanks to my influence... We're living far better than before... If I become a Water King, I can buy us a mansion! A manor! You'll be the little princess I always knew you could be." Alaric lifted her, and hugged her once more, the adults waiting with smiles on their faces, Aisha then shouted,

"F-FINE! B-But you... You better keep your promise..." Aisha demanded as Alaric smiled,

"I will, Aisha... I will."

Alaric arrived at Ars, close to Asura, it was a day worth traveling... And Alaric couldn't believe his eyes...

His eyes dazzled in the very glorious scenery. This place... It was so awesome...

"So... This is Ars...?" Alaric wondered, as it was armed with so many knights... The Silver Palace was HUGE as well, as the streets roamed with many knights in training, Alaric was going to have the time of his life here for the next year... Where he'll learn and potentially master the Deprivation Sword Kingdom... Or maybe... Who knows! Alaric steps deeper and deeper into the land, many staring, he has his wagon and his things piled in, and with his blade still on his back, he might be able to put it on his hip sooner or later... Alaric also didn't look high in power based on his clothing, a mid-class many refer, and as he goes deeper and deeper... Many manors are placed near the large castle from before, homes of the richest nobles in the kingdom.
