Back into the Capital

On the next day, I wake up on my bed, ready to do some work for today. God, how I missed my bed while I was on Bran Village and slept into those hard beds. And this house. And the scent of Diana's blessed cooking.

When I left my room, I head to the kitchen, where Diana and Fiona are taking the breakfast. Diana prepared eggs with pork meat, a good combination and a great dish for a hard day as I might say. I sit on my chair, at the part of my table I haven't stayed for about two months. I look at Diana, and then I realized something. She has cut her long and tangled hair. That is why I thought something was wrong here.

"I observe you have cut your hair." I say to Diana out of nowhere.

"Oh, thank you, Judah!" says Diana which was hit this and did not expected this.

"She got a date." says Fiona to me.

"Fiona!" yells Diana, and she laughed, and I just had a smirk.

"Who is the lucky dude?" I ask Diana as I took an egg in my mouth to eat it.

"It's a man named Rodri." she said to us.

"Rodri?" I asked. "Must be a good guy, then." I say to Diana, and I look at Fiona, feeling quite unsure. "Right?"

"It is a good guy." says Fiona to me.

At this sentence, I sighed happily because I wouldn't want to see these sisters yelling at each other and getting into a fight again, especially on this breakfast which will help me and Fiona work harder because today we will be helping the peasants such as carpenters, glaziers, roofers, bell founders, and many other craftsmen which will be working on the next months at the expansion of the Royal Palace, which will serve as an academy for Wizards, Mages and Sorcerers.

***

Later this day, Fiona and I are at the Royal Palace, helping a few workers and other knights at building the expansion of the Royal Palace. We are working on the foundation first, then, we are going to work in the following days, when the foundation will be ready, to the first floor, then we will be aiming at the second floor, and lastly on the third floor. Then, we will be concentrating on the rooms where I will be learning about magic. spells and doing other activities such as potion class or duels in magic with mages by the same level as me.

While I take a break, sitting on a shadow of a tree and eating a chicken soup who was given to me by the cookers of the building site. As I was drinking the soup, and let the chicken meat on the cup to eat later with bread, someone came to me. I look at the person who came to me, and it is Garnet, wearing armor.

"Hello, Judah." says Garnet to me. "Enjoy the meal."

"Thanks. And hello, Garnet." I say to Garnet, and she sits next to me. "Are you working here as well?"

"No. But, I decided to come here with Taka. To see how are the things going on."

"Are you also coming to Academy?" I ask after we both looked at the foundation being built.

"Yes."

"Really? Aren't this school supposed to be for Mages, Wizards and Sorcerers?"

"I heard from the guild leader last night, that even the battle skill users are allowed to enter it, since the battle skills are considered magic."

"Awesome." I say to Garnet. "Hope we will be on the same class."

"I hope so too."

"Are you feeling alright?" I asked Garnet after I see her looking at Taka, cloning a few of her, helping the workers at moving a few material constructions such as rocks and wood."

"Yes. I am fine. Thanks to you, Taka, Ulfred and the Leader. I am now able to be happy and not fearing about Yugara family wrath." she said all of that looking at me with a smile.

We talked a few more seconds, before, someone, I haven't heard in a while, stepped in, and he looks furious at me. The person who is there is Ron, and he is looking pissed at me for a reason I do not know yet.

"Judah~" he says to me.

"Oh, Ron!" I say to him surprised. "I haven't seen you in a while. How are you-"

Ron he immediately takes his sword, and he runs to me, while he yells "Monster! Monster! Monster!". As he approached me, I took out the wand, but Garnet raised up, she let her aura off, and she says: "Time Freeze". And the next moment I knew, I see Garnet, tying Ron to a close tree. But Ron, he enjoyed while Garnet was strengthening the ties to be sure he will not escape and try to assassinate me.

"Say. Is this one an enemy?" says Garnet coming to me looking pissed.

"No, no, no." I say to Garnet nervous. "You see, he is a good friend of mine."

"Really? Then why he tried to stab you?"

"Um... He probably thought we are together."

"Like a couple?"

At this we did not say anything, we only laughed together at this weird fantasy Ron was most likely thinking. Then, as we laughed, a worker came toward us, and he ordered us to help him at gathering some necessary things from the square. I and Garnet heading to that square, by walking since it is not far from the Royal Palace. As we walk at the same peace, we are looking all around us, seeing the majority of the buildings all around us being rebuilt due to the attacks from the interior or redecorate.
