The place they arrived in is called Notos Village, it’s a small village in the south. Because the Elves population is small compare to human yet the Greenwood Empire territory is the biggest on this continent. As a result of the ratios of population and land it’s make most of this Empire land seem as if empty of civilization. Notos village barely have 100 hundred villagers. The house of Iori’s teacher is in the east of the village on a small hill with a lake behind their home. Chas is someone important in the elf society yet his house is humble and there aren’t any servants compare to the human society where most noble house are grand and full of servants and slaves. Maybe that’s the reason why the elf society never get into any war with their own race unlike the human who have always having conflict since the dawn of their civilization.

“Father, we’re home.” Yasha called out to her father as if they just returned from some picnic.

“Ah, both of you where have you been? We were looking for you everywhere in the village.”

“We…were kidnaped by slave…trafficker.”

“What? How? And are both of you okay?”

“Uhhh….” As if she’s tried to hide something from her father, she avoids his eyes.

“Ahh master it’s been a long time since I last saw you.” Iori greet his master.

“Is that you Iori?”

“Ahaha yes and these two are my sons” he nudges the prince and Mark to introduce themselves.

“Greeting sir, I am Kidemónas Markus but you can just call me Mark”

“Hello, I am Kidemónas Custos, you can just call me Cus”

“I thought your name were Sora.” Yasha glare at Iori.

“Please understand that time I didn’t know who you were and so I have to use a fake name.”

“Noona let’s not be rude they’re the one who save us after all.”

“What do you mean that Iori saved all of you?”

“Ahahaha… it’s nothing serious father let’s forget about it and go inside. I mean he’s your student so isn’t it rude to not invite them in for some tea?” she’s tried her best to change the subject but it was useless.

“Shiro, how did both of you got kidnaped?”

The genuine version of this novel can be found on another site. Support the author by reading it there.

“Umm….” She’s glancing at her sister but due to her timid nature she spills the bean under pressure.

“We went outside the village.”

“What do you mean outside? Didn’t we prohibited everyone from leaving the village without permission and the adult supervision?”

“I’m sorry father.” Yasha finally give up.

“Haaa… I know that you are curious about the outside world but we have this rule in place so that everyone is safe.”

Unlike human who have short lifespan but strong reproducing system the elves are the complete opposite. With the advantage of long lifespan their population didn’t increase much because they barely have children. For this reason, Yasha and Shiro are the only young elf in this entire village in the past hundred years.

Finally, Chas turned back his attention to Iori and his companions.

“Anyway, please come in I must thank you for helping my daughters.”

“Yes, thank you master.”

“By the way who are these children? Are they kidnaped children too?”

Iori reply back with a deject voice “No, they were sold into slavery.’

“Haa… it seems you are going to raise them as Guardian Family people?”

“Yes, master since I can’t just send them back into their orphanage and if I left them alone, I don’t know whether they can survive or not so I have no other choice but to brought them with me. I hope you don’t mind sir.”

“Ahahaha, it’s no bother at all. I have known your family for the past six hundred years and your family honor and virtues are something that we elf respect after all.”

As if it’s something natural Chas isn’t much surprised by the fact that Iori took in children who was sold into slavery. After all the fact that the Marquis factions manage to compete with the Duke factions for so many years is because the Guardian Family is family who have such honor. Even if they aren’t rich or have much support from other noble like the Duke family, they have so much support from the commoner and the Royal Family.

Iori introduce all of them to his master “This is Mouy, Pi, Bey, Boun and that is Klar Sor who was injured and drug along with all of them.”

“It’s an honor to meet you sir, I am Klar Sor of the white tiger race. I’ve been trying to meet your mother as thanks for what she done to my family in the past.”

“You know my mother?”

“Ahaha, how could any Greenwood’s citizen doesn’t know your mother? She is a living legend after all.”

“Hmm, I didn’t know that your mother was a legend.” Iori asked curiously.

“Well unlike other elf she’s someone who have a free spirit after all. So, I never talk much about her.”

“The Elder was the past hero from the age of the founding Empire and also involve in the survival of beastmen clan too.”

“No wonder you call her a living legend. By the way sir I come today hoping to ask you for a favor sir.” He glanced at the young children.

Chas isn’t just a normal master toward Iori.
