We walked towards my house. At first King Arthur volunteered to give us a ride. Of course I refused because I didn't want to get too close to him. Surprisingly, King Arthur followed me on foot to the house.
I do not want to get too close to the ruler because my previous life experience taught me that a ruler is usually domineering, opportunistic and manipulative. Honestly, I am very afraid of having to deal with the ruler.
After this incident King Arthur opened his combat helmet. So that I could see clearly how his face was. Her hair is blonde with yellow eyes. His eyebrows are thick with a firm line between the nose and cheeks. For people at his age he is a handsome and dignified person.
We finally got to my house. Mr. Einhard stood in front of my house as if to signal where we should stop.
King Arthur knocked on our door. Before long she opened the door, she was surprised at how many people were in front of our house. I saw my mother standing still for a while, but reflexively let us inside.
King Arthur and I went inside. Mom and I bowed their heads in front of the guest chair. We were silent for a moment, then silence broke as King Arthur spoke.
“Can I sit down?”, King Arthur asked.
“Oh yes, please sit Your Highness”, Mother says.
Although he was a king, he really had ethics.
“Why are you sitting down?”, King Arthur asked.
“Nothing Your Majesty, we feel unworthy sitting with you”, replied the mother.
“Sit down in your seats, this is your home. You are his master”, King Arthur said.
We also sat in our seats. I was surprised that there was such a great king.
“Mistress, I am Arthur Pendragon King of the Kingdom of Stacia. I would like to ask permission to adopt Syailendra”, King Arthur said.
Mother's face showed that King Arthur's words made her feelings mixed.
“Pardon Your Majesty, what makes you want to adopt my child?”, Mother asked.
“I saw he was a smart, agile boy. He also has a noble nature. I am sure when Syailendra goes with me, he will be the main foundation of our kingdom”, King Arthur replied.
“Sorry Your Highness, can't she be my only family. If you adopt it, I'll live a kara”
“I won't forbid you to meet him”
“No Your Majesty. Even if you give the whole kingdom along with its contents, I will never give it”
“Well if so. However I have one request, let me bring Syailendra to study in Capitals”
“Sorry Your Majesty if my answer will disappoint you. He is too early to decide what is good and bad for his future. I want to stay with him, at least until he is old enough to determine his own future”.
“Well madam if so. I'm pampering. Sorry I've interrupted your time”
“Thank you for visiting His Majesty”
King Arthur looks disappointed, but he still looks calm.
Mother opened our door to King Arthur. Then King Arthur mounted his horse and ordered his soldiers to return to the capital. A rumbling sound rang out loudly, slowly dissipating and leaving.
Mr. Einhard is still standing at my doorstep. He greeted me with a suspicious smile and look. I looked back at him, this is not something I can ignore.
“There is something wrong sir?”, I asked Mr. Einhard.
“Be careful, you've dealt with troublesome people. Once you steal the show, he will never take his eyes off you”, Mr. Einhard replied.
Mr. Einhard whispered, then he left us
I know that his words aren't kidding. Although Mr. Einhard is a person who likes to harm me, but his words can be trusted.
I was shocked when I turned my body. Sitha turned out to be right behind me.
“Sitha, you why?”, I asked Sitha.
“I'm afraid”, Sitha replied.
He said like someone who would cry
“Hah, afraid why?”, I asked.
“Their bodies are big know, I am afraid of being kidnapped”, replied Sitha.
“Hah?”, I was astonished by Sitha's slightly illogical answer.
Sitha was crying.
Buk…
Suddenly my mother clapped my head.
“Aduh, why did mom hit me?”, I asked mom while rubbing my head.
“Why did you make Sitha cry?”, Ask mom.
“I didn't make her cry, I myself don't know what made her cry”
“Oh so”
Hah, did mom have no guilt after hitting me? Even though I'm a child, at least I have to give an example that apologizing should be done when it's done wrong.
“Why dear?”, Mother asked Sitha while hugging Sitha's body
“I'm afraid auntie, their bodies are big. Aunt, Sitha stayed here. Sitha is afraid of lonely house no one”
“Iya dear, later sleep with aunt ya”
And that day ended instantly

Until now, I still do not believe in our sudden graduation. Although the king asked me to attend school in the capital, I was grateful that my mother refused the request. Even if you let me go, maybe the burden will be slightly reduced.
I am truly grateful that my mother refused the request because if I go to the academy now, it will only interfere with my development. I don't have a capable weapon yet, at least for now.
Handguns are indeed powerful weapons but have a relatively short attack range, their effective range is only about 50 meters. Although it is semi-automatic but with low attack power and bullet capacity makes it ineffective when facing a crowd of monsters.
My graduation yesterday allowed me to apply to the academy at any time. The entire royal academy started a new school year in the spring and ended in the winter. So for now, I don't have to worry about anything other than preparing to attend the academy.
The only thing I had thought of for now was to become a blacksmith. But the problem is that I don't know any blacksmith other than my father. Looks like Mr. Einhard has some acquaintances, I'd better ask you later.
As usual, I went to school with Sitha. He looked ordinary, as if nothing had happened, but he was the one who felt the most fear yesterday. It seems like today is the last day I go to school with him, I better tell him.
“Sitha?”
“Iya?”
“There is something I want to tell you, I want to quit school for a while”
“Hah, why?”
“I have a unique method of fighting and I'm sure I won't progress if I follow Mr. Einhard”'s practice method
To be honest, I felt very guilty for lying to Sitha.
“I'm coming with you”
“No, your development will be hampered if you go with me but I promise I will tell you when I will enter academy”
“Alright, how long are you going to go?”
“About 5 or 6 years”
“Seriously? What if your mother knows”
“Therefore, don't tell mom. I promise I will be stronger. If one day we get into the academy, I'll make sure we'll be the strongest couple there”
“Pair?”, Sitha repeated my words with a flushed face while lowering her face.
“Iya strongest pair”,
“Hmm well, promise”, Sitha said while nodding and thrusting her little finger
“Janji”
“The breaking should take a thousand needles”
“Iya”
I also agreed to the promise we made. But I feel like this is a misunderstanding here. Seriously, I felt that what Sitha and I were thinking was very different.

Me and Mr. Einhard have a strange relationship, on the one hand I hate him but on the other hand I admire him. Both of us rarely spoke because we were engrossed in our own pleasure. For example, like now, I am busy reading and he is busy laughing at the silliness of my friends.
We just talk about something we think is necessary and it always ends up annoying. He's too narcissistic. Perhaps that was the reason why he was still single despite being so handsome.
“Andra, by the way what weapon did you use yesterday?”, Mr Einhard asked
“This is what you mean?”, I replied while pulling out my handgun.
“Iya. Is this why the three of us went to the mountain?”
“Yes sir, comparable to his strength isn't it? Unfortunately I did not get to see him, even though he made it”
“Oh it was true your father made it. Continuously, what are the uses of sulfur?”
“For this”, I replied while showing the bullet that was in my magazine. Then I put it back together and pointed it into the air.
Dorr…
My friends closed their ears and reflexively looked at me, but the funniest part was Sitha's face that seemed to be crying and angry and shocked by the eruption. They think I shot Mr. Einhard.
“Hahaha. Sorry, sorry, I was just showing Mr. Einhard how my gun works”, I apologize to my friends.
“Ohhh tidaakk. Andra what are you doing”, Mr. Einhard patted his head with both hands while looking at the hollow roof.
“Hahaha. Sorry sir, I just want to prove that I'm not lying. Let me see this”, I said while showing back my magazine, the bullet reduced by one.
“Oh I understand”
“By the way, sir, I want to ask permission for school leave because of this bullet sir. I want to learn forging, there is nothing I can trust to make it other than daddy”
Mr. Einhard seemed to think for a moment, then said “Indeed your fighting ability is not something I can sharpen. If you feel that it can make you stronger alright I will approve it”
“But I asked Mr. Einhard not to tell mom”, I argued.
“Why?”, Mr. Einhard said.
“He will definitely not allow me”
“Oh so. Alright”
“Oh yes, does Mr Einhard have a great forger acquaintance?”
“I know someone great. He comes from the village of Schmiede his name is Grandpa Thompson”
“Can I ask for his address?”
Mr. Einhard seemed to be thinking about whether he would give Grandpa Thompson's address or not and said, “I could have given you his address, but I didn't promise he'd raise you to be his disciple”
“Why?”, I replied in surprise.
“Because you're Mahesa's son. He is your father's rival”
“Oh, it's their business open my business”
“If so, fine. This I give you”
Mr. Einhard gave me the address. After that, our conversation ended instantly
