    <span style="font-weight:400">"I see. Be sure to be careful." Reba smiled as she continued to talk with Sophia.


    <span style="font-weight:400">Like that, the four were off. It took a minute to arrive at the vige. Keith realized it was much smaller than the town. But that was expected as it was a vige.


    <span style="font-weight:400">While the two walked around, Sarah continued to stick close to Keith. She exined, "This is the shopping district. We buy most of our things here."


    <span style="font-weight:400">"Young Lady, who do you have with you?" One of the vendors asked.


    <span style="font-weight:400">Sarah smiled, "A friend."


    <span style="font-weight:400">"Ohoho, do you guys want some potatoes? They''re freshly steamed."


    <span style="font-weight:400">"Sure." Sarah smiled. Keith nodded as he took two steamed potatoes. One for Mir and Fira, the other one for himself.


    <span style="font-weight:400">The two munched on the potatoes. Seeing them eat, Keith stared at the potato.


    <span style="font-weight:400">Oh. These are sweet potatoes. Keith realized with the colors. He turned to Sarah, "Are these potatoes local here?"


    <span style="font-weight:400">"Mmhmm. This is a staple in our vige."


    <span style="font-weight:400">"I see," Keith nodded his head when he heard that. I should buy some of these. He made a mental note of this. Like this, Keith continued to walk with Sarah by his side.


    <span style="font-weight:400">"Is something the matter?" Keith looked down at Sarah, who had a blushing expression.


    <span style="font-weight:400">"Nothing. Just a little hot today."


    <span style="font-weight:400">"Let me help you." Keith raised his hand and ced it around her face.


    <span style="font-weight:400">"Huh?!" Sarah was surprised. Her face cooled like that.


    <span style="font-weight:400">"Better?"


    <span style="font-weight:400">"You can use magic?"


    <span style="font-weight:400">"Mmhmm." Keith nodded, "Let''s return now. There''s nothing else we need to do."


    <span style="font-weight:400">"Ok."


    <span style="font-weight:400">...


    <span style="font-weight:400">When they returned, they were called into the dining room. Ryan asked, "Did you have fun touring our vige today, Keith?"


    <span style="font-weight:400">Keith nodded, "Mmhmm. I had a fun time. Sarah was a great guide." Throughout their walk, Sarah guided him to every ce without a thought.


    <span style="font-weight:400">Sarah''s expression turned red. Rebba looked at her daughter with surprise but understood as she stayed silent.


    <span style="font-weight:400">A smile was on her face.


    <span style="font-weight:400">But Jack continued to be stoic as he stared at Keith.


    <span style="font-weight:400">"That''s great." Ryan nodded, "Also, do you want to train against our knights? I think it would be great training to see the Knights of the Freed Estate in action."


    <span style="font-weight:400">"I''m down." "Sure." Derek and Keith nodded.


    <span style="font-weight:400">"Now then, let''s eat." Ryan smiled as the maids brought the food to the table. Keith and Derek ate calmly. But Keith had to kick Derek from time to time.


    <span style="font-weight:400">He could see Derek''s expression contorting.


    <span style="font-weight:400">But he understood why he was acting like this. It was the food they used to eat.


    <span style="font-weight:400">They have to suck it up and eat. It would be rude if they did something. William and Sophia were calm as they ate as well.


    <span style="font-weight:400">When they were finished, Keith went back into his room. He was happy as hey in his bed. Aria flew beside him.


    <span style="font-weight:400">"No fair!" "Po!" Fira and Mir jumped onto his body as well.


    <span style="font-weight:400">"Thanks, you three." Keith hugged the three as he went to bed.


    <span style="font-weight:400">...


    <span style="font-weight:400">The next day, Keith woke up and stretched his body. He didn''t wait as he walked outside. Derek was already in the training area with Michael and William.


    <span style="font-weight:400">"Let''s warm up first," William suggested. Keith and Derek nodded as they started to jog around the training area. The knights followed behind them as they ran.


    <span style="font-weight:400">William and Michael were in front of everyone, controlling the pace. It didn''t take long before they were done.


    <span style="font-weight:400">"Keith and Derek, you two are up."


    <span style="font-weight:400">"Yes!" "Understood!"


    <span style="font-weight:400">Keith nodded as he followed Derek and raised his sword in the air. Like that, the two started to spar. Michael and William watched the two fight,


    <span style="font-weight:400">"They have grown so much."


    <span style="font-weight:400">"Indeed."


    <span style="font-weight:400">"But the one who grew the most is Derek."


    <span style="font-weight:400">"Yes," It wasn''t Keith, Alvin, or Eric. Derek was the one who grew the most.


    <span style="font-weight:400">"He was originally the one who had the highest aptitude of the three," William stated.


    <span style="font-weight:400">Before Keith was born, Derek had the besttent abilities. Alvin topped everyone in magic, while Eric was the same with the sword. But Derek was an all-rounder.


    <span style="font-weight:400">He wasn''tcking in anything. He might be a little bit lower than Michael and Alvin. But it wasn''t by that much.


    <span style="font-weight:400">In terms of swordsmanship and magic, Keith and Derek''s abilities were about the same right now. The difference between the two was their attitude. Keith was earnest.


    <span style="font-weight:400">But when Derek was at his age, he was carefree.


    <span style="font-weight:400">He didn''t care as much in the beginning. But he was taking it seriously now.


    <span style="font-weight:400">"I guess it''s because he doesn''t want to lose to his little brother." Michaelughed. William nodded.


    <span style="font-weight:400">He wanted to keep the pride of an older brother.


    <span style="font-weight:400">"But the two still have a long way to go." William nodded to that.


    <span style="font-weight:400">"Can you guys not talk like that?" Ryan quipped as he walked beside the two. He was staring at how Keith and Derek fought.


    <span style="font-weight:400">They weren''t fighting like trainees.


    <span style="font-weight:400">"These two are really talented for their age. I don''t think anyone could beat them in their age group." Ryan added.


    <span style="font-weight:400">"Age won''t matter in a real fight," Michael added,


    <span style="font-weight:400">"And they need to work harder."
