"Make yourselves at home, but help around the shop a bit"
"Yes mother", Ryan replied
Left and his Brother has now been relocated in the capital: Actis
" Sorry for suddenly living with you Grandma Annie" Henze said pitifully.
"I knew that fool Ryan would have to live with me in the end" replied Annie
"It wasn't Uncle Ryan's fault, it was because of me"- defended Left
*Both Ryan and Annie looks at Left*
Ryan comforted him *Come on, it wasn't your fault, People do such kind of things and you were just protecting the ones you love that's all"
Uncle Ryan?
Yes my lad?
"Am I a murderer now?"
*The room goes to an awkward silence*
Ummm.... "Yes, Yes you are but everyone would do the same thing if they were in your place"
"Thank you, Uncle for being straightforward " Left said with a blush on his cheek
"You could smile more like that, you know, it's kinda cute" Ryan teased
*Left laughs*
"You might be a murderer but you're still my nephew, Left remember that, I'll be always by your side"
*Two soldiers enter the room*
" Is someone by the name of Left Banister here?"
"Yes it's me"
"Our commander has ordered us to escort you to him, please come with us right away"
*Left leaves the house and looks back at his family for a second and smiled*
.......Back in Officer Karlt's head office......
"Ah you're here, the kid who killed that Axenian thief"
" Please don't mention what happened last night"- Left pleaded
" Now Now, she isn't quite that dead yet"
"What? You mean she's still alive?"
"She's breathing very well"
" Then that does not make me a murderer?"
"ummm... not quite"
"what do you mean?" Asked Left
" she'll die once we send her to Ikenburo"
" Ikenburo?, that's the place where the kingdom sends prisoners and Axenians and burn them up by making them work like slaves!, a girl like her shouldn't be sent to such a place, she could be killed! more worse she could even be raped!
Karlt laughs , "How can you say such a thing when you are the one who tried to kill her in the first place?" Karlt says sarcastically
*Left went speechless*
" Now in 15 minutes you'll head for the academy and start classes over there"
" But I don't need to anymore if I'm not a murderer"
" Who says everyone knows you're not a murderer?, you're even lucky we're sending you to the academy instead of Ikenburo"
"Keith!, Sasha! Send this boy to Actis Academy!"-ordered Karlt
The two soldiers dragged Left away
"I'm sorry kid, the boss has always been this tough to deal with"
" Shush, you're talking too loud Sasha! He might hear you!" Told Keith
"Why does he wants to send me to the academy that badly?" Left asked the two soldiers.
