    <span style="font-weight:400">"It fits nice," Keith noted. There was no constriction around his arm. It was perfect. Once Keith paid for his uniform, he turned to Leon and Laura. The two were used as mannequins!


    <span style="font-weight:400">"Sophia, we must have them wear this!"


    <span style="font-weight:400">"And this as well,"


    <span style="font-weight:400">"Duchess, Marchioness, we have to let them wear this!" May also joined in on this. It was surprising.


    <span style="font-weight:400">"I''m going out now," Keith quickly left the shop before the three had a chance to notice him. Keith sighed,


    <span style="font-weight:400">"Dodged a bullet." If Keith didn''t leave, he would have been forced to do the same thing. But it seemed the two liked it. With how excited Leon and Laura were, they won''t be getting tired any time soon.


    <span style="font-weight:400">"Ho!" Aria sounded as she nestled her head to his face.


    <span style="font-weight:400">Keithughed, "Don''t worry. I''m fine,"


    <span style="font-weight:400">"Anyways, how about we have some fun," There would be many things changing once Keith entered the academy.


    <span style="font-weight:400">But one thing he would have to face was Aria.


    <span style="font-weight:400">She was the one Keith was probably going to miss the most. Aria had always been by his side throughout his childhood. Even when he was a baby, she would stay by her side without a thought.


    <span style="font-weight:400">But that was going to change.


    <span style="font-weight:400">"Let''s have some fun!" Keith decided. Since he would be away from her, the two should go out and have some fun.


    <span style="font-weight:400">"Ho!" Aria screeched. And like that, the two of them head off to whatever stores they could find.


    <span style="font-weight:400">They were finding any food they could try together. As they were doing this,


    <span style="font-weight:400">"Young man! Is that your familiar?" Keith turned over to a stall. He shook his head,


    <span style="font-weight:400">"She isn''t my familiar. She''s my father''s familiar,"


    <span style="font-weight:400">"Oh! That doesn''t matter. How about you buy an essory?!" The vendor stated.


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


    <span style="font-weight:400">"Mmhmm. Check it out," The vendor showed his collections, "I have many types of jewelry and essories for you to choose from! They won''t get in the way of your familiar abilities!"


    <span style="font-weight:400">"Let me take a look," Keith looked at the essories there. Most of them looked interesting. But there was one that caught Keith''s eyes. It was a cuff.


    <span style="font-weight:400">It was made of silver and had a sapphire jewel in the shape of a rhombus stuck in the center.


    <span style="font-weight:400">"Are you alright with this?" Keith questioned Aria.


    <span style="font-weight:400">"Ho!" Aira didn''t mind as she raised her wings!


    <span style="font-weight:400">"Can I try it on her?" "Sure!" It was a simple process as it cuffed onto Aria''s legs.


    <span style="font-weight:400">"Is it alright?" Keith questioned.


    <span style="font-weight:400">"Ho!" Aria started to fly around him.


    <span style="font-weight:400">"There''s also a matching earring for you!" The clerk stated as he showed him a pair of earrings.


    <span style="font-weight:400">"We''ll take it!" Keith didn''t hesitate as he handed the coins to the clerk. He took the earrings and wore them.


    <span style="font-weight:400">"Like this, we match,"


    <span style="font-weight:400">"Ho!" Aria liked the idea as she nudged Keith''s face. The two of them kept ying until they returned to the estate.


    <span style="font-weight:400">When they returned home, Sophia noticed the change in Keith''s appearance, "Keith, you got your ears pierced,"


    <span style="font-weight:400">The silver earrings were eye-catching. Keith nodded,


    <span style="font-weight:400">"I got something to pair with Aria," Keith stated. They turned to the owl and noticed the cuff on one of her legs.


    <span style="font-weight:400">"That looks cool!" Leon stated.


    <span style="font-weight:400">"Pretty," Laura muttered. They were in awe of the new items. Keith questioned, "How was your shopping trip?"


    <span style="font-weight:400">"It was fun!" Laura and Leon answered. Sophia and Camelia had a smile as they stared at them.


    <span style="font-weight:400">"...I see." Keith looked at Eric and the two. Are we the normal ones? While they were lost in thought, William stated,


    <span style="font-weight:400">"Keith, there''s something I want to talk to you about,"


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


    <span style="font-weight:400">"We''ll talk about itter,"


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


    <span style="font-weight:400">They continued to eat without a thought. But afterward, Keith followed William and walked out to the garden,


    <span style="font-weight:400">"What''s the matter, Father?"


    <span style="font-weight:400">"I''ve been thinking about it. But today made it clear," William smiled, "Keith, I want you to take care of Aria,"


    <span style="font-weight:400">"Huh? What do you mean?"


    <span style="font-weight:400">"I''m saying you should make a contract with Aria instead of me," William rified. This had been on his mind for quite some time now.


    <span style="font-weight:400">"But Aria is your familiar,"


    <span style="font-weight:400">"Keith, Aria has always been by your side. Can you really call her my familiar?" This was something William understood a long time ago.


    <span style="font-weight:400">"She had always listened to yourmands better than mine." Saying it made him chuckle. That was an understatement of the making. Aria didn''t need Keith to say anything. She would do it like that. That was how attuned she was with Keith.


    <span style="font-weight:400">"But what about the city?" This wasn''t about whether or not Aria would listen to him. This was also about the city.


    <span style="font-weight:400">The blizzard owl was there to protect the city from any trouble.


    <span style="font-weight:400">"It''s fine. We have enough protection," William stated, "And besides, having something that doesn''t listen tomands is not a good idea to have."


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


    <span style="font-weight:400">"Don''t hesitate. I know out of everyone, you care about Aria the most," That was also an understatement.


    <span style="font-weight:400">Like how Aria watched him all the time, Keith would do the same.


    <span style="font-weight:400">"Alright!" Keith nodded. There was no point in hesitating now! William nodded. He summoned Aria.


    <span style="font-weight:400">"I''m going to break the contract with you,"


    <span style="font-weight:400">"Ho!" The owl made a sound,plying with his thoughts. A magic circle started to form around the two. And the emblem on their hand slowly disintegrated. William turned to Keith,


    <span style="font-weight:400">"Keith, form a contract with Aria now,"


    <span style="font-weight:400">"Mmhmm," Keith nodded his head as he looked at Aria. It was simple to make a contract. Pass a droplet of blood to the monster.


    <span style="font-weight:400">And like that, it happened. A magic circle enveloped the two. A small emblem formed on his other hand,


    <span style="font-weight:400">Keith smiled, "Thank you so much, Father!"


    <span style="font-weight:400">"It''s fine." William patted Keith''s head, "With this, you have extra protection," Handing Aria to him was the correct choice. Unlike the other three, who had one another to help, Keith was going in there alone.


    <span style="font-weight:400">"Now go to sleep. You have to prepare for the academy."


    <span style="font-weight:400">"Mmhmm!" Keith nodded!
