Chapter 10 The Northern territory.

" Boss , what do you know about the North." asked Stan. " Not much, just it is governed by the Duncan family . " said Jareth. " So the package is for them. " asked Kai. " No is not for the family ,but for the retired head of the family. " said Andre .

" What is the difference , the package will be given to the family ?" asked Kai . " No , Kai the package is for the retired head. " said Jareth pausing for a moment and , he continued " Only that old man can handle this situation, he will go in depth to know the truth. And when he moves , the perpetrators who harmed his grandson , will know they mess with the wrong family . " While riding the horse , Lex came forward and asked " Are they that dangerous." " Not for us , Lex And listen guys whatever you see in their territory don't get shocked. " Said Jareth. He looked at the group and they all nodded their heads.

As the rumours died down , Classes started as usual , After the class ended. One of the students asked " Professor Burton , Where is Cain. " the sudden question silenced the class. Seeing the student he said ."Due to the attack . Cain was taken by his family. He will join the class soon . " with that professor Burton left . Jaeger's question piqued his interest in Cain. . Jaeger was the son of a merchant and according to his knowledge Cain was admitted into the academy without his family name . Due to his inferior background , he didn't notice him . His Elder brother has tasked him to find out about the missing person. Knowing that his name is Cain was enough.

After the Class Grey went to his Estate. Grey Maxwell came from Duke Maxwell family. He ran into his room took out the communication crystal. " Elder brother , the missing one 's name is Cain." " What Cain , any other information. " asked Richard. " He doesn't have any family name . " said Grey. " I will send it soon to you. " said Richard. " Thank you brother. " said Grey.

At the Maxwell House hold. " Find about this Cain . Where he is from and if there is any relationship with Thein . If it is I needed the detail. " ordered the knight. ' Thein just wait the humiliation that I have faced . I will give you 100th times more in the competition' .

As the convoy was on the way . The after effects of the attack on the students lingered in the Nobel circle. It was deemed to be the fault of the instructor , but many had suspicion that there was more to it.

The Convoy reached the Duncan territory. The Cain Convoy reached the city gate . Seeing the Sigma of the Duncan family . One of the guards came to the carriage. Bruce spoke to the guard from the window. The guard waved to the gatekeeper to open the gates. Andre convoy reached the gate , the papers were checked and they were allowed to enter.

As Andre convoy , most of the members thought that , it would be a run down place. The North was a dangerous place to live . Especially the winters when they would be attacked by demonic monsters and the barbarian clan. But it's been years since there has been any attack . Only the people in power know about it. As they entered , they could see people freely moving . The streets were bustling with activities. " Is that a barbarian " said Kai . " It is , you haven't come here . So you don't know . It's been years since the barbarian attacked. A peace treaty was signed. Between the Duncan and the barbarian. That Every year a portion of the harvesting would be given to the barbarian. No matter how much the situation is. Duncan's have a tradition to never go back on their promise." said Andre. And Jareth continued , " and slowly this place became peaceful. The people accepted. the barbarian as the same as humans. The barbarian sells ores and Monsters bones and they are given the right price. An effective trade relation between these two regions has been set . " said Jareth.

" let's rest in the inn and send the package tomorrow ." said Andre . Andre and the convoy got inside the inn.

On the other hand seeing the Cain in such a state the chief butler of the Duncan asked. "Should I call the old Master." . " Yes Alfred " said Thein. Thein went straight to Aaron's study. Knocking on the door , " Dad, it's me."

"Come inside" said a rough voice .
