After the dinner, the group rested in their allocated room. Azumi, Guz, Blade, Blanc and Ray were in one room as per their own request. Seeing that, Alfin also share her room with Kucin, Emma, lydia and Filaurel. The remaining member of the first squad got their own room as well. Mile goes with Lady Air eventhough she kinda reluctant without her brother, but with enough persuasion she happily goes.
"Teacher, is it true what you said to the duke" [Blanc]
"Say what?" [Azumi]
"How the queen treated Princess Alfin badly, I mean I hear rumour here and there but..." [Blanc]
"Yeah" [Azumi]
"Why would she treated her own daughter badly" [Blanc]
"Who know, I mean I know her reason but it's kinda stupid if you ask me" [Azumi]
"What reason" [Blanc]
"Ask her yourself" [Azumi]
"That's a little bit..." [Blanc]
Azumi swiftly dodge the question
"Anyway, sleep early, you guys have so much to do tomorrow" [Azumi]
"We will" [Guz]
"Ray, what would You and Mile do tomorrow" [Azumi]
"Lady Air ask us to accompany her, I kinda reluctant to go" [Ray]
"Don't worry, she is a good person" [Azumi]
"I know that, but" [Ray]
"Well, she does treat you like her own grandchildren, the least you can do is show the same" [Azumi]
After some ugh sound here and there, he reply
"Understood" [Ray]
"Good boy" [Azumi]
After a night of rest, the group become energetic the following morning. They are greeted with a healthy breakfast before each going on their own way
"Princess Alfin, Lady Clair and Mrs Kirthiga will wait you at the adventure guild" [Mr Wright]
"Understood, thank you for telling me Mr Wright" [Alfin]
"You are welcome" [Mr Wright]
"Alfin, can you give me the magic core we make the other day" [Azumi]
"Sure, just hold on for a second" [Alfin]
Alfin open up her item box and quickly grab the A grade Magic stone that they make, the other can't help but look in awe
"What a big magic core, plus it is so pretty" [Aurora]
This tale has been unlawfully lifted from Royal Road. If you spot it on Amazon, please report it.
"Sis, Brother, do you guys make this" [Kucin]
""Yes"" [Alfin, Azumi]
"They teach us at school how to upgrade the magic core and it's such a difficult process, as expected of Princess Alfin" [Emma]
"With enough practice, anyone can do it" [Alfin]
"Just how much is enough practice to achieve this level of proficiency?" [Emma]
"Well, Alfin do practice every day, she also ask me to practice along side her to keep herself motivated, you don't need to make high grade stone each time, just upgrade little core everyday or once a week if you don't have enough time nor budget" [Azumi]
"Thanks for replying for me" [Alfin]
"Every day huh" [Lydia]
"Well, here you go Azumi, make good use of it" [Alfin]
"I will" [Azumi]
Azumi grab the magic core and put it in his own item box. With that, he and Captain Aurora depart towards Hima Valley. The second group then when on to the carriage and leave shortly after with Filaurel as their group leader.
"Well then, let us go to the adventure guild" [Alfin]
With that, princess Alfin uses the duke's official carriage and when to the Adventure guild. She herself, Blanc, Lydia and the remaining people of the first knight squad quickly enter the carriage
"Princess Alfin..." [Blanc]
"What is it Blanc?" [Alfin]
"No it's nothing" [Blanc]
"Huh, that's rare for you, just speak it up" [Lydia]
"Hey stop hitting me Lydia!" [Blanc]
"Well, be a man and speak up then!" [Lydia]
"Alright then, umm aren't you scared? I mean sure you have us protecting you but to fight against the dark guild, isn't it dangerous" [Blanc]
"I am, but at the same time if someone doesn't step up and take action, those guy will run free, and it will cause more problems in the future, that's why I would personally go and fight against this injustice myself, you have seen right how Mile's end up right now" [Alfin]
"True, just thinking about it make my blood boil" [Blanc]
"Sadly, outside of Raflesia, no Even in Raflesia itself, this thing are still common, and its just unacceptable for me, that is why I am grateful that my student share the same thought as me, the same can be said to the first knight squad" [Alfin]
"You really are a good example for us" [Blanc]
"Thank you, oh and Blanc" [Alfin]
"Yes" [Blanc]
"That wasn't your original question right" [Alfin]
"!" [Blanc]
"Thought so, you are suprised how I can guess wasn't it, let just say from my own experience" [Alfin]
"Speak up Blanc! Be a man" [Lydia]
"I will save it for another time" [Blanc]
"Up to you" [Alfin]
The carriage then stopped Infront of the adventure guild, the adventure there make a ruckus seeing as the official duke carriage is outside the building. Mrs Kirthiga and a blue hair lady greet them
"It has been awhile Princess Alfin" [Clair]
"Lady Clair, it is" [Alfin]
"How about we go inside first, we can save the chat for later" [Mrs Kirthiga]
They agree with Mrs Kirthiga proposal, they then went to the guild master room
