Aleric noticed the striking resemblance between the woman and Morgana, he figured the woman to be Morgana's mother. 

"What madness are you suggesting?" Enzo spoke in a calm frightening voice.

"Enzo my friend, we all want what is best for our children. I know you would make the same decision if you were in my shoes." Lord Brom said. He is the father of Morgana, and he is also a powerful ice mage. Morgana was betrothed to Aleric after she was born and then it felt like a good plan to make the Brom family more powerful. Lord Brom knew how strong the Xalvador family is, so he wanted to share in that power by creating a bond with them through marriage. But after it was discovered that Aleric has no talent, they started regretting their decision. They all knew that having no talent makes one worse than a slave, so they knew that having their child marry Aleric would lead to her ultimate demise. While they were thinking of how to break off the engagement, Morgana awoke very rare ice magic. There are a lot of ice mages but Morgana awoke the rarest, she has what is called absolute freeze, which means she can freeze just about anything. Her hair turned white as a result of the class she awakened and having such a rare talent ending up with a talentless boy left a bad taste on the lips of the Brom family.

Aleric kept his attention on Morgana while ignoring the discussions of his parents and their visitor. Morgana couldn't bear to look at him because never had anyone looked at her the way Aleric was looking at her. Aleric was interested in her because of the chills he has been getting from her. Aleric could feel the coldness in her mana core, it was like a beast threatening to freeze the whole world if let loose. Aleric couldn't stop himself from wanting to conquer the beast and have it by his side. While Aleric was busy studying Morgana, Tatia was staring at Him.

"I suppose the arrangement was made when we were only a but a child." Aleric spoke and the adult wondered if Aleric is considered grown up now, he is still but a child.

"Yes, you were just a baby when I made the arrangement with my friend Brom, seems like I should've chosen my friends wisely." Enzo was angry about the whole issue but he couldn't dent what Brom was saying. If he had a daughter, he wouldn't want the daughter to marry someone as talentless as Aleric, but that would be a different case if the person is a friend. The Brom family was among his plan to make Aleric safe.

"Alright, since the arrangement was made by you adults I don't see the reason why we have to be here when you break off the engagement."

"What do you mean by that." Morgana's mother the one that has the most hatred for Aleric spoke up.

"Since the arrangement was first made for the desires of the adults, and now it's been dissolved for the same desires of the adult masked by the pale interest of the children. Since that happens to be the case I don't see no reasons for us the children to be here." Lady Brienne wondered when Aleric became so outspoken. She felt like her sweet boy has grown up behind her back.

"So what are you suggesting?" Brom couldn't stop himself from speaking politely to you boy before him.

Aleric smiled and Morgana thought the smile could charm any living being. "I suggest we leave you adults and then go do what children do best."

"Which is?" Morgana was the one to speak for the first time.

"Play, my lady." Morgana felt her cold heart pounding against her ribcage and she knew today wouldn't be the last day she would spend with the boy. Morgana turned to her parents and they gave her permission so she stood up and left with Aleric and Tatia. Aleric grabbed Tatia by the hand and walked away with her while Morgana followed behind. This simple gesture from Aleric made Tatia smile warmly, it was a way for Aleric to remind her that she is someone close to his heart.

"Now that we are outside, what do you plan on doing?" Morgana asked as they were standing in the backyard of the castle.

"I hear you have the absolute freeze class?" Morgana nodded "Do you mind showing me?" Aleric was curious about it. Morgana thought for a while but obliged. She sprayed her arms and her surrounding started to freeze up. Aleric and Tatia moved back in order not to get their feet frozen.

"Amazing." Aleric muttered

"This is the best I can do for now." It wasn't much, just a few feet of the ground was covered but Aleric thought it was enough to defend against attackers.

"That's great."

"Truly great." Even Tatia thought it was wonderful. 

Morgana blushed from receiving praises from people her age. Because of her noble background, she doesn't have friends and the only time she mingles with people of her age mate is only when she attends parties hosted by other nobles.

"Thank you." She muttered.

"Aleric, you brought out to play, I don't see you doing that." Tatia reminded Aleric and the latter smiled.

"Forgive me, my ladies, how about hopscotch." He suggested and the two beautiful girls agreed.

Morgana had a wonderful time and not only did she bond with Aleric but also bonded with Tatia.

"Because of special conditions, I wound be enrolling in the academy earlier than others." Morgana said while they were all sitting down. After playing hopscotch, they sat down beside the garden to have a small discussion.

"Which academy would be enrolling?" Tatia asked.

"Vemersapitia Academy."

"I will also be enrolling in the same academy." Tatia announced excitedly. Vemersapitia Academy is the most prestigious school in the world of Jusavia, every race dream of attending it but it's hard to get it. Tatia knew it was hard to get admitted but she was confident because her teacher told her she is talented enough.

"Great, I will happily wait for you." Morgana replied then looked at Aleric. The two girls had Aleric sandwiched between them and with their eyes glued to Aleric he felt mentally exhausted.

"Which Academy would you attend?" Even though Aleric had no talent, Morgana was sure he could study to become a strategy with the intelligence he displayed earlier.

"Me? I am not sure yet." Aleric chuckled.

"You know what you gave me today?" Morgana asked and Aleric shook his head.

"No."

"Not only fun but hope, all my life my parents have always been the ones to decide everything for me, with a care if I like it or not. They decide what to wear, who to make friends with, and who to end up with. While coming here to break off the engagement I was not concerned about it, but after you spoke and surprised everyone, you showed what it's like to speak your mind. Though the engagement would be broken off and my parents would start looking for another worthy candidate for me, I would no longer accept it."

Aleric raised his brows to Morgana's decision and gave her two thumbs up in his heart.

"You might be talentless, but you have something other people don't."

"And what's that?"

"The ability to give hope."

"Hope" the two girls spoke at the same time. Tatia remembered when Aleric fought her bullies for her. They were young and the bullies outnumbered them but she undoubtedly placed her hope on Aleric.

"Come on girl it's time to go, you are no longer engaged to that boy." Morgana's mother called her daughter. The news saddened Morgana but she steeled her heart because Aleric has given her new hope. 

"I would be right there." The mother left as she had enough decency to give her time privacy to say goodbye.

"Aleric, the engagement is off but I promise to wait for you and if you be worthy, I would be called your woman once again." She kissed Aleric on the cheek and said her goodbyes to Tatia before leaving. Aleric was rendered speechless by the actions of Morgana so he didn't even notice when Tatia left.

"Wait?" Tatia called after the carriage that was about to leave.

"Stop." Morgana stopped the carriage and it shocked her mother. Lady Brom has never seen her daughter act out of her expectations. Morgana climbed down and went to meet Tatia who was running after the carriage.

"What's wrong?" Morgana asked.

"You said you would wait for him?"

"Yes"

"I want to let you know, that you are not the only one on that ship." Tatia has been in love with Aleric ever since he fought for her so she would just sit back and watch someone else take him from her 

"I know." Morgana smiled and the two girls hugged each other and said their goodbyes once more.

Aleric without knowing has marked the two beautiful girls and many boys would hate him for it in the near future. Tatia watched as Morgana's carriage left and she wondered how many more girls would her Aleric charm. In the world of Jusavia, having more than one wife is common, even some good friends would always pray to marry the same husband so their friendship would continue.

    "What do you mean by that? You are the most talented among your peers so every academy would be glad to have you." Enzo would respect whatever decision Aleric took because he took himself from nothing to 3rd class but he had to make him understand how easy it would be for him to progress if he gets to study in the academy. "Look son, I know you are really strong and feel you don't need teachers or an academy for you to become stronger but that's wrong. The benefits studying at the academy would bring are tremendous. You would have beast mana core to absorb and make you stronger, you would make allies and a lot of things." "I know, perhaps I came out wrong. What I am trying to say is that I will not be attending the academy as a special student. I would get the admission myself by passing through their test."

    It was just an innocent kiss of a little girl kissing her crush for the first time. It only lasted for about five seconds and Tatia broke off the kiss "Better come or I will kill you." She spoke without looking at Aleric and ran back to the carriage. Aleric couldn't control his heartbeat because that was his first kiss in both lives. The people that watched the scene smiled warmly "Looks like she laying her claim first." Lady Brienne muttered. "Why did you have to do that?" The representative asked Tatia. "He would soon be dragged by many women so I am laying the first claim." Tatia was still flushed and her heart was threatening to burst her rips. She knew that it would take a year or more before she sees Aleric and within that year, Aleric might have seen more beautiful girls so she wanted to great the first impression. The representative wanted to tell the naive girl that Aleric is a nobody and she will soon forget her "Let's go." She decided not to since she felt it was in

In order not to draw too much attention to himself, he still refused to cut his head and tried his best not to appear handsome. He left his hair falling over his face covering his eyes making him appear like a country lad. He made sure to change the noble attire he left home him, now he is wearing a local cloth. It took him about a week to leave the borders of Warkinles. He found it funny when he heard rumors about himself from the natives of Warkinles. Aleric's heroic deed has traveled far and wide but to most people, it was just a rumor the Lord of the state spread to make his son recognized in the kingdom. It was more reasonable to believe it was a lie being spread by the Lord than to believe the weak son is now a one-man army. After leaving Warkinles, Aleric arrived at Frankfort. Before Aleric left his home, he made sure to memorize the kingdom map and names of the states,

    Aleric made sure to follow his target discreetly and waited till they have left the crowded place. He knew if he attacked the slave trader when the crowd is around, it would make things worse since instead of seeing him as a hero, he would be seen as a sinner that came to steal someone else bounty. "Did you succeed in parading around town?" An orc asked the slave trader. The orcs raided a town and kidnapped the girls. They didn't intend to use them for their sexual urge but to sell them and raise money for their chieftain. "Yes, I made sure everyone saw them, at the auction tomorrow a lot of people will bid for them." "Don't touch them you swine." The orcs kick away one of the orcs that couldn't control his urge and started groping one of the girls. "Captain, let's just enjoy one." The orcs pleaded "No, our chieftain needs the money for the civil war." Orcs were having war so they needed the capital to fund it. The orcs grunt before leaving to join his brothers.

Aleric said in a low threatening tone as he shot an ice bullet and cut off the slave trader's left arm. "And you don't deserve a quick death either." He cut off the other arm. "Stop." Aleric turned to see the girl that was stabbed crawling on the floor trying her best to reach Aleric. "Stop." She said again and Aleric rushed towards her. "Stop struggling, you have lost too much blood." He put pressure on the wound but the blood kept gushing out. "If only I had listened to your instructions." She spoke slowly and Aleric couldn't hold back his tears. "I am sorry, I should've killed them all when I had the chance." Aleric can't stop blaming himself, he felt if he didn't show mercy to the humans the slave trader wouldn't have done this. "You don't need to be sorry. My mother said a man changes whenever he spill

    After a grueling battle that had shaken the very foundations of the earth, Aleric found himself awakening in the sterile surroundings of a hospital room. The past week had been a blur of conflict, of dragons that threatened to destroy everything, but now he lay in a state of blissful unconsciousness.As his eyes fluttered open, Aleric was greeted by the sight of two familiar faces. Bora and Mia, two women who had become more than just allies; they were now lovers. Their smiles were a testament to the relief they felt at his awakening. They had been by his side all this time, their unwavering support a source of strength for Aleric.Weak and weary, Aleric managed a feeble smile in return. It was a profound comfort to know that he was not alone."Don't ever scare us like that." Bora complained.Aleric's heart swelled with gratitude, and he whispered, "I will try not to."Their laughter filled the room, and Bora leaned in to give him a warm embrace. "You did it, Aleric.
