Few days passed and Zaho was made to sleep in the same room as Jason and Samuel.
Not that there weren't enough rooms to each have his own, but Alfred wanted to build a strong relationship between the brothers, that's why he made them stay together to help each other.
In the next few days, Zaho was not idle, he learnt how to read and write by himself as it was pretty easy to understand the connection between letters after mastering something as complicated as arrays.
He also read some books about history and found out that this city was effectively founded on the remains of dark-wolf village, even though the books never mentioned such a name, they talked about a group of friends fleeing from a harsh environment and finding a small uninhabited village.
The environment there was also for humans being pretty harsh as it decimated this small village's inhabitants, but for the fleeing magicians, it was much already better than where they lived before.
They could alter it and improve it easily using a few spells making it much more comfortable to live there.
And just like that a few thousands of years later the descendants of the founders formed few different countries, and their inheritance allowed them to be invincible kings as long as they didn't turn against each other.
Do I really need to tell you rest? greed ... treason ... wars ... winner winner chicken dinner and all that stuff...
Well, the current king inherited the knowledge of one of the founders a water magician and it's rumored that he is currently a level 4 water mage king.
Zaho also found out that as the royal family wanted to keep its supremacy, it created some stupid rules allowing only nobles to cultivate magic and that's the reason why Alfred couldn't adopt him as he was considered a commoner in the eyes of public.
'I cloud destroy that little king with one fist,... let's just hope no one annoys me'
A few days later Zaho was eating with Alfred and his two sons when he was asked
"You will be able to go to school in a few days, what do you want to become growing up?"
Zaho didn't think much of it and responded: "I looked through the different materials about the academy, except for the magician's curriculum that I can't attend, and the warrior's one that I'm not too interested in.. there is nothing else."
after a few seconds, Zaho continued "So I decided to attend as Samuel's servant"
Sound of forks and knives falling on the ground could be heard
Alfred passed the rest of the meal trying to convince Zaho to attend as a warrior to no avail he could only resign himself after 3 hours, looking at his older son he said :"Once this summer vacation end and you go back to the academy, you will be responsible for taking care of Samul and Zaho"
Jason answered with a serious look on his: "Don't worry dad no one will bully us!"
Just like that, the next few months passed quickly as Zaho played with Samul and Jason, he found out that the kids' mother disappeared a few years ago, it was about a year after Samul's birth, and there was no information about her since then.
After consoling the kids, they started preparing their suitcase as Samuel and Zaho would visit for the first time the Academy next morning.
Even Zaho was excited as he was thinking: 'Should I give a few advices to these kids as they are my friends ? or just help them in the dark? well who cares I will have all my time thinking about it tomorrow'
'Let's try becoming the best servant that ever existed !'
Ding ..Ding ..Ding sound of a bell could be head in all the house
"Sir Samuel it's time to wake up as to not be late to Academy "
"Ehuu .. WTF" Samuel
"WTF.."Jason
Alfred who was also woken up by the ringing bell came running to the room and found Zaho dressed in a soubrette (maid outfit): "...Where the hell did you find that thing"
Zaho said proudly: "I made it myself since I noticed that all the maid were wearing that"
Alfred lips twitched : "That's.. that's because they are all girls.."
Zaho: "Oh is there a law that prohibits guys from wearing it?"
Alfred: "No, but" Before he could finish he saw Zaho smiling saying: "Then I will definitely wear this it's much more beautiful than man's clothes"
Alfred made eyes contact with his two sons and they exchanged a silent conversation threw their eyes
'Dad do something!' Jason & Samuel
'Dad loves you' Alfred
'Please convince' him Jason & Samuel
'Be strong kids, Be strong' Alfred thought as he turned around and left
