<span style="font-weight:400">"These bandits tried to attack us on our journey here. These two heroes saved us from that predicament," The coachman exined to the guards.
<span style="font-weight:400">Keith added, "We also ventured into theirir and brought back the captives they have," Keith stated as he pointed at the carriage with the captives.
<span style="font-weight:400">"I see," The guards were shocked when they heard his words.
<span style="font-weight:400">He sighed, "These bandits were causing so much trouble these past days." The number in their force wasn''t something to scoff at. They would have to bring a number of soldiers to deal with them.
<span style="font-weight:400">Keith turned to the guards, "Here is all the loot they had,"
<span style="font-weight:400">Keith quickly summoned all the loot in his storage. The guards and the coachman were surprised by such a loot. There were a few items that were worth a couple of gold coins!
<span style="font-weight:400">"I want you to hand all of this to the captives. Also, I want you guys to figure out where they live and send them back home," Everyone was shocked by his words. He just gave up the coins like that without a thought!
<span style="font-weight:400">Anyone else would have taken it and left like that!
<span style="font-weight:400">"Understood," The guard nodded. He couldn''t say anything to him. The captives quickly bowed their heads,
<span style="font-weight:400">"Thank you so much!"
<span style="font-weight:400">"I can finally go home now!"
<span style="font-weight:400">They were in tears as they had their freedom. Keith shook his head, "It''s fine. It''s what I should do. Go to the guard and tell them where you guys need to go,"
<span style="font-weight:400">Keith didn''t say anything else as he walked to the coachman. The coachman bowed, "Thank you for protecting us, Sir Gabriel, Sir Keith."
<span style="font-weight:400">"It''s fine. I''m going to go now," There was no point in staying there.
<span style="font-weight:400">"Same," Like that, Keith and Gabriel walked away from the carriage.
<span style="font-weight:400">Keith turned to Gabriel, "Sorry about not talking to you about it,"
<span style="font-weight:400">"Hmm?"
<span style="font-weight:400">"The loot. I should have split it 50-50." Keith stated. As he walked, he realized he made the decision without talking to Gabriel. Gabriel helped out a lot.
<span style="font-weight:400">Gabriel chuckled, "You don''t have to worry about it. I would have done the same thing."
<span style="font-weight:400">"Thanks," Keith smiled. He questioned, "Gabriel, do you want to meet at the academy?"
<span style="font-weight:400">"Sure! I would love to go with you,"
<span style="font-weight:400">"Great! Let''s meet up at the teleportation gate tomorrow,"
<span style="font-weight:400">"Sure. Is noon alright with you?"
<span style="font-weight:400">"That''s great!" Keith talked with him some more before they went their separate way.
<span style="font-weight:400">"Pff! Keith! Why did I have to hide so much?" Fira popped out of Keith''s cor and stared at him.
<span style="font-weight:400">Keithughed, "Sorry about that. But I don''t think it would be good to have so many people see you." They would definitely be surprised about it. Mir could be yed off as a simple monster. The same could be said about Aria.
<span style="font-weight:400">Fira, not so much.
<span style="font-weight:400">"I want a cookie," Fira pouted.
<span style="font-weight:400">"Sure. I''ll give you a cookieter. We need to meet with my grandma and grandpa." Keith came here a day earlier than expected.
<span style="font-weight:400">...
<span style="font-weight:400">"Captain, why did you listen to that kid''s direction?" One of the guards questioned. He was confused as to why the captain listened to the child.
<span style="font-weight:400">"That child is Marquis''s Freed''s son. Do you want to go against his words?" The captain stared at the guard. Marquis Freed was not to be trifled with. Not only that, Keith was the grandson of a Grand Duke!
<span style="font-weight:400">That was asking for trouble.
<span style="font-weight:400">"Now get back to work!" The captain stated. He followed Keith''s words, helping them out.
<span style="font-weight:400">...
<span style="font-weight:400">Keith arrived in front of the gates,
<span style="font-weight:400">"Young Master Keith, we''ve been expecting you," The guards greeted Keith.
<span style="font-weight:400">Keith scratched his head, "I came here a day earlier than expected."
<span style="font-weight:400">"But the duke and duchess told us to be prepared at any time."
<span style="font-weight:400">"..." I see. Keith sighed as he entered the estate. And when he entered,
<span style="font-weight:400">"Keith!" Camelia called out to her grandson and hugged him.
<span style="font-weight:400">Keith smiled and hugged her back, "Grandma!"
<span style="font-weight:400">"You''ve grown so much taller now!"
<span style="font-weight:400">Keith rubbed his nose, "Grandma, I didn''t grow so much." It was a month since theyst met with one another. With the teleportation gate added to the northern region, Camelia and Lionel met with them many times.
<span style="font-weight:400">It was a great thing.
<span style="font-weight:400">"But you definitely had," Camelia examined him.
<span style="font-weight:400">"Hello, Grandpa!" Keith smiled at Lionel. Lionel nodded, "It''s good to see you again,"
<span style="font-weight:400">"Where are Leon and Laura?" Lionel questioned.
<span style="font-weight:400">"Ahh, they''re staying home," Keithughed. Leon and Laura were dotted on by the two ten-fold!
<span style="font-weight:400">
<span style="font-weight:400">"Come now, let''s get something to eat," Keith nodded, and the three entered the manor. At the dining table, he started to talk about the things he did,
<span style="font-weight:400">"That''s incredible, Keith!"
