‘That you don't have to worry about.’ Ariana winked at her stand. ‘Didn't you hear about it on your way here? Dragon harbour is a place where you can buy anything if you have the money.’
‘You mean...?’ Freya looked at her with some clarity, somewhat understanding the true significance of Gargoyle Harbour. ‘But that tuition fee...’
Since the academy was open to everyone, the fees were definitely not normally high.
Although there was some money on the Baron and the others right now, with the current situation, that money would still need to be used in many ways, so what could be given to her right now would definitely not be enough.
‘For the expenses, I as a sister can still afford it, you just need to study well inside.’ Arena carefully reminded ‘If you have good grades, you might even be able to obtain the qualification to be guaranteed a place at the Rudin Imperial Capital Academy, then the prosperity of our family is all on you ah.’
Listening to Ariana's words, it was obvious that this sister of hers had already thought of everything, which made Freya unable to raise the slightest thought of refusal.
She hesitated, and her eyes turned to the Baron, waiting for him to nod gently before saying.
‘Alright, so when is the registration over, I want to go later.’
‘No need to go later, you can go tomorrow.’ The Baron patted her shoulder, his eyes carrying hope. ‘The Gargoyle Academy is on the other side of the harbour, the journey takes four or five days, it's still within the enrolment time, but it's not for a few days.’
‘Well...’
The Baron's gaze made her nod heavily.
Four or five days of travelling wasn't very far, and if there was something on the Baron's side, he could quickly make it back, but if it was true that she could be guaranteed a place at the Imperial Academy in Rudin as Ariana had said, then the future was completely visible, and it wasn't probable that, the Grimm family would be even more brilliant in Rudin than in Byron.
After watching Freya agree, the Baron revealed a smile, but a hint of reluctance could still be seen in Freya's eyes that she hadn't noticed.
Evening.
After having dinner, Freya did not return to her bedroom as usual, but knocked on the door of the Baron's room.
Although the Dragon Academy was semi-closed, the road did not allow her to come and go as she pleased, she could only come back if there was an emergency, and she also knew that this time she went out, it might take a long time before she could come back.
Although the Baron said on his lips that there was no need to worry, she was still very concerned about this matter, which was why she wanted to find him to talk, this was the only comfort that the daughter who was about to leave had for her father.
Rambling words in the quiet manor, no one knew what the two Baron and Freya said, only that Freya did not go back until very late.
Early the next morning.
The stars that hadn't dispersed could still be vaguely seen on the foggy sky.
Outside the manor, a carriage was parked in front of the door.
Freya received the luggage and a golden card handed over by the Baron and put them on the carriage together.
‘Be safe on the road.’ The Baron stroked her blonde hair and said with soft eyes, while Ariana didn't say anything, just stood by and watched quietly.
‘Mhm!’ Nodding lightly, Freya smiled as she looked at her father, who had become a little pale in one night, her azure eyes had determination in addition to coldness.
Without hesitation, she directly got into the carriage.
‘’Splat!‘’
The whip made a crunching sound as the coachman swung it, and the carriage began to move slowly.
The matter of Freya going out was not known to anyone other than the Baron and Ariana, so there were only two people who sent her off.
As the carriage drifted away, she looked back through the thinning mist to see the Baron standing there, his black clothes making him look as if he was a black stone statue, just watching her slowly leave.
The narrative has been illicitly obtained; should you discover it on Amazon, report the violation.
Rubbing her eyes gently, it dawned on her that she didn't know what a tear had escaped from her eye.
Quickly wiping the tear stains off her face, she once again looked that way, only to see that the manor had also blurred a bit as the carriage moved on as well.
The faint emotion in her heart slowly faded as she left, she turned around and leaned on her side next to the carriage, subconsciously touching the crossed swords next to her, the idea of making herself stronger in her heart becoming more and more determined.
Four days later.
The southern part of the Dragon Harbour.
On a wide road, several ordinary brown carriages were travelling in their respective directions in a staggered manner.
On both sides of the road, apart from houses, there were also various shops, and some pedestrians were entering and exiting from those shops, purchasing the things they needed.
Freya looked at the surrounding scenery with some boredom.
These things, apart from the fact that they were somewhat attractive to her at the beginning, now after looking at them for a long time, she felt that there was nothing more to them.
This was the fourth day since she left the manor, the good security of the dragon's harbour allowed her to not encounter any trouble along the way, which made her who came out from Byron a bit uncomfortable at first.
In her conversation with the Baron that night, Freya had already roughly understood what the Baron wanted to do next.
Although the Dragon Harbour was a trading city, there was no shortage of battles and dangers here, and the Baron's idea was to establish a mercenary group and take on some missions to do.
After all, the Baron's line was not good at anything other than fighting, and establishing a mercenary group was considered doing their old job.
Moreover, with their strength, unless they encountered some special accidents, there was no danger, and there was also the monetary support from Arianna's side, so it would be easy to gain a foothold in the Dragon Harbour.
Freya touched the gold card placed at her waist that represented five thousand gold coins, and sighed slightly in admiration.
Five thousand gold coins, if it was packed in a box, there were two boxes.
Putting it in Green Castle was also considered half a year's tax!
Such a figure, Ariana actually handed it directly to her without batting an eyelid, which made her also see the power in her sister and brother-in-law's family.
Although the academy needs to spend money, as long as she doesn't spend it recklessly, this money is enough for her to learn all her studies and daily expenses, and maybe even leave a lot behind.
Somewhat tired of watching, Freya blinked the curtains down and closed her eyes.
While the coloured particles in her vision were becoming accustomed to her, it was becoming more and more of a struggle to suppress the buoyant feeling of chi in her chest, only to simply take a break every once in a while to recover her strained mind.
This made her look much more tired than usual recently.
The Gargoyle Academy, although it was an academy that was built up with money, its knowledge base was good, and it was said that there were also Grand Knight level instructors in there, which filled Freya's heart with curiosity about the place.
‘’I hope there's something I need there.‘’ Closing her eyes she thought darkly.
As time passed, she was just on the verge of falling asleep when the carriage suddenly stopped.
‘Miss, the Gargoyle Academy has arrived.’ The horseman's voice came from outside the carriage, waking her up.
‘Has it arrived?’ Opening her eyes, Freya lifted the curtains of the carriage window, within her line of sight a black iron gate was erected there, beside the gate on both sides were many carriages parked, some young teenage girls in gorgeous clothes walked down from the carriages.
Beside the half-open iron gate were two tables cobbled together, a few middle-aged men in white robes were sitting there, handing out forms and collecting enrolment fees for those who wanted to enter the academy.
