After leaving Riyan's room Pherio went to Rick and told him about what Riyan wants to do in future. Rick asked, "did he actually say that."
"Yep" Pherio replied and said the story of Azara to Rick.
Rick: you said that he told something like that before suiciding. Are you sure that he's not playing with you?
Pherio: I want to know the same thing. *Looked out of the window and saw Riyan walk with stick. * Know what? I don't care if he's lying or playing with me. Even if what he said was a lie. I will believe it.
Rick: You are a serious pain, you know that, right? Even if you don't want to know, I will find out whether he's Riyan or that Asuna guy.
Pherio scoffed and asked, "And how will you do that?"
Rick: Simple, tell him to complete a study year here.
Pherio: I already did that though. But how will that help you?
Rick: Riyan won't be able to use his right hand because that hand almost like cut off. so, it will take more time to heal than the other parts. And as soon as Riyan starts to walk without stick tell him to go to school.
Pherio: ARE YOU CRAZY? he just woke up 2 days ago. *Grabbed Rick by collar and banged his head to the wall. *
Rick: LET GO! *Tries loosen Pherio's hand grip* li li listen to me first. I said that because if he goes to school and meets Lady Ryu's son and we will know if that's Riyan or Asuna. You knew that he was always stuck with that guy.
Pherio: I'm positive he's Riyan, even if he turns out to be Asuna, I'm not going to leave him stray on the same path.
Rick: But it's better to know. please do as I say. He has to go to school anyway I'm just telling you to send him tomorrow, that's it.
Pherio: Can't we just wait for month. He needs rest and you know he hates school. *whines* why does it have to be tomorrow? I want to throw party for his speed recovery.
Rick *kneeled* : My lord I never went against your will but please listen to me this once. We won't lose anything anyway.
"Fine" Pherio whiningly agreed.
*At dinner*
Riyan asked Rick why his eyes hurt when he tries to look far. Rick says that because he was wearing contacts when he had accident, and no one knew about it. Contacts must be removed before sleeping, and he only came to know about it after 2 days of his accident. Also said that he removed them, but his eyes will hurt for little while but will recover.
Rick was signing to Pherio to tell Riyan about school.
Pherio *sighs* and says, " Riyan you are going to school here."
Riyan: yeah, you already said that.
Pherio: Ahem *Clears the throat*. I did. what I'm saying now is you will go to school tomorrow.
Riyan dropped his fork and looked at him and said, " Why? I told you I want to rest. And you know I hate school. Those humans are pain to deal with. I hate you grandpa." and left the dining room.
As he left there. Rick rushed to see his cutlery and nodded his head.
Pherio's thoughts "I don't want to send you to school too. but *Glares Rick* that bastard is stuck to send you to school."
Pherio says "why do you have to hate me it's that bastard who deserves it. *sighs* Kalki, prepare Riyan's uniform for school. And tag along with him to school." *Kalki nodded* "Kalki, I told you 100 times and I'm telling you 101st time. You are not responsible for Riyan's accident."
Pherio looked at Rick as if he lost his mind and asked, "what did you find this time?"
"He used the same cutlery Riyan used before. It means our little lord has returned." Rick realized Kalki was standing silently and looked at Pherio as if he slipped his tongue.
Pherio was annoyed "Just because I said you are Riyan's shadow, that doesn't mean you have to live as his shadow. but I also said that you will assist him, you just have to be by his side, everything he does or happens to him is his responsibility not yours. *She left*.
Pherio: She became inexpressive person after that accident. maybe it's because she has human blood in her...? who knows, they are complicated beings. And Rick you I'm pain but what about you?
"Ha ha ha. my lord I need to attend little master." Rick slipped from there.
*Next day*
Kalki went to Riyan's room. Riyan was standing there in bath robe said," you came right in time."
Kalki said, "Young master, I brought your uniform."
She gave it to him and went out of the room. Riyan came out after wearing his uniform and said, " I'm done wearing the uniform. Is this it?"
Kalki said, " Young master, you have to go to salon to change your hair color and you have to wear these eye drops to change your eye color." Riyan asked " did I disguise myself at school?"
Kalki: Yes, sir.
Riyan: Then can't I just use disguise magic instead of going salon?
Kalki: But you never did that, you always went to salon to dye your hair and wear colored lenses to cover your eyes. So, I thought you might want to do that.
Riyan*in his mind* " that's because that bastard never saw hair color or colored lenses in Azara, and he wanted to fool around which he did too." And told Kalki, "Well, that was before. now I want to use magic instead of going salon."
Kalki: I apologize if I'm overstepping my boundaries. But why exactly?
Riyan's expression went little dark and talked in calm voice: Since when did you start to question me Kalki, just because you assist me doesn't mean you tell me what to do. before you leave tell me what colors, I changed my hair and eyes into.
Kalki: I sincerely apologize sir. And both colors are brown, sir. Now if you allow me. Riyan signed her to leave his hand *she leaves*
Riyan changed his appearance with magic and came down to dining room table, saw his grandpa's furious face and asked, " why are you so angry gramps? did you start to lose fur?"
Pherio: What did you say to Kalki?
Riyan: OH! it's about that! What did I say? *Looked at Kalki and smiled* nothing I just said know your place, nothing else I swear.
Pherio: how can you say- Riyan cut in, said " say that to a girl? please stop it. And since when did she start to tell me what to do? and you also know that I hate taking orders yet say that when did you become her grandpa?
Pherio: That's not what I meant; I was just saying you should be considerate when you are talking to your fiancée to be.
Riyan choked: WHAT IN THE FUR!? gramps, are you crazy? did lose your sanity? Wh why Would I marry her? she's like sister to me why would you do that?
Pherio: I thought you liked her since you two were always together.
Riyan shouted "MAA BIKUM?" *What is wrong with you? * And started to speak with arabic accent "I want you to stop having those stupid ideas." then looked at Kalki, said " I will find a best cat for you don't get any stupid ideas like grandpa. And are you coming or not?" both left for school. Pherio told the servants to not clean table until Rick comes.
Rick came as soon as he saw Riyan leave and checked the position of cutlery and smiled proudly, said " now all that's left is Riyan meeting Lady Ryu's son."
Pherio sighed and said, "I already told you I don't mind if he is Asuna. so, what are you trying to prove. "
**on their way to school**
Riyan was asking Kalki how he was at school and she said he was below average student. And Riyan got very pissed when he heard that. and asked if any exams were to happen there then, she said pre-Finals will happen soon. Riyan asked if there is anything he needs to know before he goes in, she said there's nothing important and if there is, she will be there. They reached school, Kalki went into Riyan's shadow. At school everyone was looking at Riyan and murmuring, and some guy was running around shouting Ryu Ahn. He came Riyan and said "Ryu Ahn, why didn't you answer me? I was calling your name and you were going like it's not you. anyway, your homeroom teacher called you to principal office."
Riyan tilted his head and said " Are...you talking to me?" That guy said" is there any other Ryu Ahn other than you? No right, now go." Riyan asked, "which way?" but that guy gave looks to him like find yourself. Riyan asked Kalki, " what's with this Ryu Ahn name? Of all surnames he only found Ryu surname to be mine!? for the tail's sake tell me I'm having a nightmare, please."Even though Riyan whines a lot he's quick to accept reality. He bumped into a girl, she was surprised to him, and he asked her which way was the office. she told him directions and he left. Riyan went wrong way Kalki told him that its wrong way, but Riyan didn't listen to her. There he saw a guy; he asked him the directions he said its wrong and told him new direction, Riyan noticed that that guy's expression was dark. And Kalki insisted that he should listen to her, and he did. then they went principal office. the principal told Riyan to take care of himself because he's recovering from accident, and to not take any stress about pre finals. Also that he will take care of exams for him.
Riyan said, "I appreciate the thought sir, but I don't want that, if you want to do anything just let me write exam by myself," Teacher said, "Ryu Ahn, you don't even remember anything from past school years, how will you write? by cheating?" Riyan said" CHEATING!? what do you take me for? I will write by myself. and if you want to do anything please assign me personal tutor until the exams are over. Everything else I'll take care. Teacher tried to stop that, but principal agreed and said that new teacher will come to him by afternoon, also said that "do tell your brother we treat you well." Riyan said, "I will" and his teacher asked principal who his brother was, Riyan was about to leave, but stopped because he was curious as to which of his brother is principal talking about and principal said, "he will come soon to him you'll know." Riyan left with dissatisfaction. He went to classroom with his teacher, He was so tired from curiosity that he slept in the class until lunch break.
Riyan decided to walk home, when he was on his way suddenly heard a snap sound but didn't give much thought to it, at an interaction he asked Kalki it was left or straight but there was no response. he felt weird because she always answers him no matter what. then he looked around and saw that time had stopped. A voice came "Took you long enough to realize." "You, why are you here?" "Again? Fine, I'm No-" "I know you are Noah but what are you doing here?" "Thank god, I was worried that I have to tell you whole story." "I remember everything so don't worry." "I came here to tell you something, but I heard something real interesting. If you answer my doubts, I will tell you." "What doubts?" Riyan looked at Noah suspiciously. "Not much, why was Elmir's daughter jealous of Ryu's daughter? And is it true that she died in hands of demon slayers? but why did only poison art demon slayer die? And how many sons did Azazel have?" "Oh, that's.... Riyan realized what Noah was asking and
Riyan couldn't find Yustaf in the school. So, he tried to contact him but there was no response. He went to class and saw all the girls near his bench, asked them to move but they gave him gifts and ran away. He was confused about what happened. He felt like someone was watching him. After the school was finished a girl passed by and he stopped her asking "Where is Yustaf?" She replied "My master said that he will be taking long vacation for a while, so he won't be able to meet you. That's why I came to tell you.""Huh!? Vacation? Who are you?""I'm his assistant who was stuck in Black Forest.""So, you are lupine. I thought lupine was guy.""Yes. My father lacks knowledge about names.""Oh, sorry about that. So, Yus won't be coming any soon i guess."She said yes and left. Riyan was wondering what happened to him that he took long vacation. He didn't think that she could be lying.Meanwhile somewhere in some dungeon.Yustaf was trying to run away, was captured and rope sucked his ene
"Hey frog who do you think hold more power me or your lord? And when did I say that I will spare your life?" He started to sweat " Your grace, I ca- "Oi froggy, I'm not here to hear any of your excuses. The only reason why you are still able to answer is because I want to end things as silent as possible. So, hand his things over to Rick now." Principal gave all documents, everything related to Riyan to Rick. He made a 90-degrees bow told Rick that "I'm extremely sorry for offending you." Rick messaged Riyan, "Work done." Rick went to meet Pherio who was in the car in parking lot. he asked him why he went so far to talk with that frog just so that they can get Riyan's certificates. Pherio answered "If I want to get anything done. I can get it done but it's not about getting work done, it's about letting everyone know that things have changed. It's about warning them. Rick who was driving the car stopped it and said "By them? If you mean Ryus, then congrats my lord they seem to kn
Riyan remembered that there was no flight missing since he was going in his private flight. He realized that Pherio didn't answer his question. and was wondering "First Yus now Rika, what is going on with everyone?" He reached his home, but the guard didn't let him in saying his young master would come. Riyan understood that he doesn't know him and said," Go to Akhtar and tell him come here." The guard shouted, "How dare you call our head butler by his name!""Hey, shut up. Go to him and tell him what I look like."The guard grumbled and went to call him "Head butler, there is a guy at gate says that he wants to meet you.""Who is it?""He didn't tell me his name but he told me to tell you what he looks like.""Then tell me.""He looks like a teenager, Fair skin color, reddish hair with slight hint silver color in them, has two different colored eyes.""One eye is blue colored and other is green colored with gold colored lining.""Yes! Exactly! i was wondering how to tell that color."
*Few hours before the letter was sent to Riyan. In Noah's Sky palace. * Noah heard heavy footsteps. " What brought you here all of sudden? Zehel." Zehel grabbed Noah's collar said "I told you hundred times what happens up there and here stays here." " What are you talking about? leave my collar. " Noah asked confusingly. " Stop playing dumb. I know you met Riyan and talked to him. " " OH! you are talking about that day. Why are you asking only now you could have come then." He sighed and started to complain " These humans are stupid they leave their kids by themselves they won't even bother asking them what's wrong?" " What's wrong that you are this worked up?" "Suicides" "Is that anything new? these days lot of people are doing that for stupid reasons. Most die because of responsibilities." " What responsibilities do below 14 years kids have?" "Below 14? That's a specific number." "Up until now 1060 kids who are under that age have committed suicide and are working in hell
"Just because I listen to you doesn't mean you get to tell me what to do. Now shut up and give me your hand knife."Duke gave him hand knife Asuna cut of the handle and started to heat knife with his fire and pushed that part into the keyhole. He made sure that the heat stays low, and heat only stays to the knife. because if it's too hot the lock insides will melt too. When the key didn't move any further, he stopped heating it and left it there to cool down. Duke was surprised to see him do that."My lord, how did you do that. I heard heat control can only done by blacksmiths. Did you learn it without my knowledge.""Are you stupid how can I learn things without Akashic records knowledge."Duke paused for second and glanced at Asuna, he smiled and tilted his head. Duke asked, "since when?""If I say for past Azarian 100 years, what are your thoughts.""Was that the reason why you kept me around as cat. I thought you trusted me.""Yep. You know everything and you are tightlipped, so I
Zehel and Beshah looked at Noah asked, "What did just happen?""I don't know why he made her die, and I am also as confused as you are." Noah answered."Alright, this is it. How dare he lie; he better be prepared for what's coming." saying that Zehel wrote a letter to Riyan.Noah said, "He won't be able to leave there unless he's completely healed. Don't get worked up over that kid lying to us. To know why, we need to watch it completely."Zehel thought about something and said," Alright, then I'll send him Silver's staff. It will heal his wound and he will come here as soon as he recovers."Noah sighs and shakes his head and says, "Zehel, you curious bastard. You are going to give him silver's staff? THE SILVER'S STAFF?!! you have lost your mind." While he was shouting about things Zehel's subordinates"Noah, shut up. There's no use in shouting now. Because I already sent it to him. Don't forget time runs very slower here than down there. Let him take his time." Zehel left Noah s
