To The Sian Mansion - part 1

"Ummmm what do you mean grandpa ?"

"I mean that you will stay at Sian mansion from tomorrow."

"Grandpa this is too sudden you are telling me that today is the last day that I stay in this mansion and most importantly why do I have to stay at their mansion." I told being very surpised

"I know this is too sudden,I decided to send you to their mansion because a couple of weeks before we recieved a mail in it was a message that we got from one of our spy in the Kren family. In the letter it was written that the Kren family will be attacking the MaEk family in the 8th of january, which is tomorrow. Its safer for you to stay with them, when they attack this mansion its impossible to guarantee your safety so I am sending you out of this mansion. Dont worry Alfred is my disciple I can trust him wth my life he will keep you safe."

"But what about you or grandma or other people in the mansion where will they go and most important of all who is the Kren family and why is the Kren family attacking us."

"We will escape from them by going through the black mountain route where they wont be able to catch us.

Kren family is another ancient family they are also known for giving birth to extremely powerful wizards so there is a rivalry among the MaEk family and Kren family. Now that our family is at its weakest the Kren family have taken this opportunity to crush us and remove any competition they have so that they can be recognised as the most powerful family.

"If its like that then let me come with you too."

"No you cant that area is too dangerous for children to travel through."

"Then what about Alene even she is a child so why is she going with you."

"She is still a child but she is 4 years bigger than you, dont worry everything will be fine we will meet with you soon after we have lost the Kren family from our tail. Now go to sleep you have to wake up early tomorrow."

'WTF just happened, just a few minutes earlier I was enjoying at the party and now I have to move to another mansion because this mansion will be attacked, bruh my life is just filled with wists I am happy one minute and sad in another.

I know that grandpa is lying, my family isnt going anywhere they will stay at mansion. I know because there is no mountain near our mansion so I think they will probably stay at the mansion and fight the Kren family.

How am I supposed to sleep with so many thoughts in my mind.'

----------------

'The door of my room opened and grandpa Anarek came into the room alone carrying a pair of clothes.'

"Good you are already awake, go freshen up."

'I havent slept the whole night grandpa, I couldnt say sleep because I just kept thinking about what might go wrong when the Kren family attacks our mansion nevertheless I got out of the bed and went to the washroom I brushed, splashed my face with cold water and went to my wardrobe to get a change of clothes and I saw the gift that Alene gave to me wraped up in a piece of paper, I took the clothes out of the parcel and wore them. The clothes were very comfortable as they should be because it costed Alene 10 gold coins which is a lot. With 10 gold coins a family of four members could easily buy 10 years worth of rations. I wonder how she got so much money, my pocket money is only 10 silver per month, had she been saving her pocket money and with that money she bought me these clothes. She is such a kind older sister, I will always remember this gift Alene.

"Are you done changing Clay, hurry up the carriages are gonna leave in 10 minutes."

'I opened the door and said "I am done changing."

"Well lets go then. I packed your luggage with all the necessary things, you can take any of your belongings and head to the carriage also here take this it should calm your hunger for a while." he said that while giving me a loaf of bread.

"There is nothing that I really want to take from my room."

"Good then lets get to the carriages."

"Grandpa will the people in the Sian mansion be welcoming to me."

"Yes ofcourse, you think that the Sian family is a very cold family just because Alfred is a cold person. You've got it all wrong the whole reason I am sending you to the Sian mansion instead of Sechh mansion is because the Sian family is the most kind hearted family I've ever seen. Even Alfred is a very kind hearted person its just that he chose to hide it so that others wont take advantage of him nevertheless dont worry you will be very welcome in the Sian mansion."

'We walked to the main gate where many of the chariots and soldiers were stationed but I couldnt find any of the MaEk mansion guards probably because one of them might be a traitor and give the Kren family information that I escaped.

Grandpa stopped me at a distance where the soldiers wouldnt be able to see or hear us and then grandpa started to tell me something with a very serious voice.'

"Clay here take this sword, you will be able to wield it after you have a better understanding of the mana." he said giving me a handle of a sword from his pockets. The handle was very heavy and dense.

"Also take this" he gave me a book which was thick and heavy. He also gave me a stone the size of my palm, I couldnt believe he had all that stuff inside his cloak.

"Grandpa its too much I cant carry them."

*sighs* what was I thinking, giving so much burden to a child." he lifted me up and covered me with his cloak.

'This must a special kind of cloak which can hide things in it easily, it probabaly uses mana from the person who wears it. I could see that we were approaching heavily guarded carriage. A soldier who was guarding the carriage knocked on the door.'

"Lord Alfred lord Anarek has come to visit you."

'The door of the carriage opened and my grandpa went inside. He closed the door and grandpa took me out of his cloak. I could now see the insides of the carriage very clearly, the carriage wasnt as big as I imagined but it was spacious, there were two seats placed infront of each other. Grandpa and I sat facing lord Alfred.'

"Where is Eleanor and your children?"

"I have them seated in another carriage."

"Have you told them about Clay."

"Yes, I have told about Clay to my wife and my children but I still have to tell to other people in the mansion."

"How did they react." grandpa asked being concerned about me

"They were very understanding, dont worry my family wont harm your grandson in any way."

"Well I didnt doubt you but its reassuring to hear you say that."

'They talked for a few minutes and then a soldier informed us that the carriages are ready to start their journey back to Sian mansion.'

"Well it seems that I have to get out of here now, Clay take this cloak to keep all the stuff I gave and also remember to behave propely at the Sian mansion, lets meet again after some time and dont you dare damage the cloak its been passed on by 11 generations of the MaEk family." he said that in a very happy voice except for the last part.

"Dont worry I will behave properly and not put a scratch on this cloak."

'He gave me a smile and then exited the carriage, the carriages started to move right after grandpa exited.

Great now I have to spend god knows how long with such a scary man.'
