Chapter 11: Chapter Eleven- Farewell

Chapter Eleven

Today I was having a stroll along the village and happened to notice another tiger-like beast, however, unlike the last time I was able to slay it with a few breaths.

I have improved, but now that I mention it. I wonder how hard Claire is training, I’m getting excited to fight her again, who knows she might even be stronger than me now…

However I still have two months left, I already told Clara I would be leaving last month, and she cried for hours. She often stays at our place now, and it is good company, to have someone around my age to play with. Due to my amazing training she has also gotten a lot stronger with the sword, and with the lessons from Elizabeth on the Water Techniques, she can fight on par with me for a while, however she still has a long way to go!

It’s the final night before I have to leave for my one-week journey to the family estate, today Elizabeth and Liza put on a big feast for my departure, and everybody gave me some gifts to bring away.

Scott gave me a baldric (something to carry my sword in.) while Liza gave me some socks and trunks.

Elizabeth gave me a book on the different types of beasts that roam around the human continent(which is very helpful to me.)

“Here, this is for you,” Clara said while holding out a small wooden box, which was detailed with a small red gem in the middle of it. When I opened the box I could see a red tainted bracelet, it looked luxurious, something you would only find in a high-class action house.

“Wow, thank you, thank you all, I’m going to miss each one of you, however, I’ll be back, and when I get back ill bring everyone some gifts home.

Since I was leaving tomorrow, I took a bath and got ready for bed early, furthermore since it would be the last time she could see me for a while. Clara decided to stay over and sleep in my bed.

However we kept talking and talking, don’t get me wrong. It was enjoyable, I would do it a hundred times over If I could. At points she would start crying saying how much she was going to miss me, i found it very heart-breaking.

I just hugged her and patted her on the head. I wasn't very good in these types of situations.

“I’ll try to come back as much as possible, so don’t worry,” I said while condoling her. After a while, she smiled at me before wiping away her tears and closing her eyes to sleep...

It was early in the morning when I woke up, I could hear the birds chirping and the sound of activity downstairs, I looked outside and i gazed at the bright day that was ahead of me, I could also see the carriage already waiting for me. I turned around looked to the left to see Clara. However, she was already up and probably downstairs. Last night she had helped me pack away my clothing and essentials, so I didn’t have to worry about that.

I got ready and walked downstairs to the smell of freshly baked bread and my favorite of Liza’s dishes, her chicken soup. After saying good morning, we all sat down and talked like a casual family while enjoying the food. This was the last time I was going to have her food so I ate as much as I could.

After talking to everybody for a couple more minutes, I hugged them each, while Elizabeth kissed me on the cheek, looking like she was going to cry. Liza gave me an extra tight hug while Scott gave me a fist bump and a thumbs up, while showing me his usual mischievous grin, before patting me on the back. However the most emotional farewell, was the one to Clara

She was sniffling and teary.

“I’m going to miss you all, however, I’m going to enjoy myself. So don’t worry about me and work hard yourselves. Especially you Clara, you need to keep up your training!”

After a smile and a nod, I stepped into the carriage and continued to wave until the house was out of sight, and after that I went inside and started crying to myself.

“I’m going to miss you guys,” I muttered while looking at the Farmers plying the soil of their farms as we were going by.

Getting to the Estate was quite boring, nothing really interesting happened. We had to stop at a couple of towns for breaks and to sleep, however, the week didn’t include much to talk about, however, there was one thing i would like to note. And that was because most Towns and Villages started to put up decorations, it looks like the country was going to have a festival celebrating the fiftieth year of the present kings’ reign.

It was a big thing in the country because most of the kings or queens who had ruled over The kingdom had at most only reigned for forty years. This was the second instance in which one King alone reigned for over fifty. The first was when the Kingdom was first founded.

While sitting lazily reading a book, the carriage driver informed me that the Estate was in sight, and when I peered out of the carriage the huge mansion came into view, I could already see the lines of maids and butlers waiting for my arrival. I was pretty excited, that’s because I was able to see Claire again! I wonder how she’s been over the past two years, I hope she still has the dagger I gave her before I left last time.

After about another seven minutes, the carriage stopped, and the doors to my side were opened, when I stepped out, I could see a familiar face bowing down at me

“Greeting Young James, it has been a while. I hope you are still in good health.” It was the Head Butler, Steven.

“Hello Steven, I have been doing great, I hope you have been doing fine as well.” After saying that, Steven looked up and smiled.

“Of Course, everybody in the estate has been in a high mood, since hearing you were coming over.

Hearing that the people were in a high mood because of me made me feel quite embarrassed, but also very happy.

After thanking the driver who had brought me this far, I went forwards to the door of the mansion, and just before the maid opened the door, it slammed open.

“James! Let’s go play!” the voice of a young girl echoed in my ears and I sighed and laughed.
