It was now time for them to make their way back to the Von-Lowther family estate. When they got there Alton spoke up and ordered a maid as well as a butler to go get Lloyds things for him instead, he then walked to his father's office and knocked on the door. "Come in." He heard a voice.

When Alton walked in, Lloyd following in suit, he noticed the viscountess and their two daughters there. Cornelius looked at Alton and then at Lloyd, with a raised eyebrow, that's when Alton and Lloyd made their way to the desk having the ladies move out the way.

"Father this is Lloyd Elis Mernant, he is the fourth child of the Elis Mernant family, and he met me earlier today, he have been looking for someone he can serve, I told him I could be that someone. He is willing to be my personal guard." Alton explained.

Cornelius looked from Alton towards Lloyd and raised an eyebrow at him. That's when Lloyd stepped forward and bowed to Cornelius with a smile on his face. "it's an honour my lord. What the young lord have said is all true. I do want to be his personal guard, I have finished my defensive magic sessions." Lloyd spoke up.

"Is that so? And just how old are you?" Cornelius asked.

"I am 16 years old my lord." Lloyd said back to him.

You could tell the viscount was impressed but his wife and two daughters not so impressed and more pissed off than anything else. They didn't like the idea of someone as skilled with magic such as Lloyd is going to work for Alton. However, the viscount didn't have anything to say against that. So he agreed with what Alton suggested.

Him and Lloyd excused themselves and that's when Alton started to explain things too Clayton. Clayton smiled and bowed too Lloyd. "it's nice too meet you My-" before Clayton could finish he was interrupted.

"Just Lloyd is fine, I mean I should be calling you sir right? You are above me in this estate." Lloyd said smiling as he made eye contact.

Clayton smiled a bit more and nodded his head as he heard those words. Alton looked at them both smiling as well. "Clayton I want you to come with us too introduce everyone too Lloyd." Alton said.

The only response Clayton gave was a bow as he continued to smile at the young boy. That's when all three of them started to walk off into the estate, Alton and Clayton telling Lloyd about the places they are walking past and then when they get the training quarters, the soldiers as soon as they saw Alton they knelt down. This surprised Lloyd but made him happy at the same time.

Alton on the other hand started to laugh as they all done that too him. "you can all get up!" He said. When they did Alton looked at the captain and the other soldiers. "Okay, this guy next to me is my new guard. He will be living here from now on, his name is Lloyd Elis Mernant." Alton explained.

"Elis Mernant?! As in that Elis Mernant?!" The captain said shocked as he heard that.

Clayton, Alton and Lloyd started to laugh at the soldiers and their captain shocked tone of voice. "Yes I am the fourth child of the Elis Mernant family, it's nice to meet you Captain!" Lloyd said with a smile on his face.

"The pleasure is mine! I have always wanted to fight against your family defensive magic!" Arther spoke up.

Lloyd gave another small laugh and nodded his head head at what the captain had said. "Then how about we train together some times captain?" Lloyd asked him.

That made the captain happy and they both have a small bow to eachother as Clayton, Alton and Lloyd started to make their way off somewhere else.

Alton was in the lead and started to make his way too the poorer part of the kingdom. This made Lloyd confused and Clayton happy as Alton was walking in the direction too meet some other people. "uh my lord where are we going?" Lloyd asked him.

"Home. We're going home."
