Aias: from a world of kaijus to a world of fantasy and magic

Chapter 81

Leaving the hospital with Clare by my side through a back door, we made our way back home.

I had both my sword and short sword with me as protection, which Chelsie gave back after she found them, which was fortunate. Another fortunate thing was that Alex and everyone luckily found my pouches, one of them being the items I got from the medical center in Base 38, and my pouch that held monster cores.

It was very lucky that they found the pouch with my monster cores because from my fight with Boras, I could use these things as batteries or additional power for my magic, which works almost exactly the same as my Named Aias in my past life.

Additionally, I had my swords sent to Kinwall for maintenance and to give them a coating of mythril because, after experiencing what it's like to wield a full mythril sword, I wanted something similar. On top of that, I already placed an order for more throwing knives, which are now with Mila for engraving.

But speaking of that, unfortunately, I can't say for Athrun's sword, which was destroyed in my fight with Boras. I apologized to him, but he was fine with it since that was just a spare, and he breaks a lot of weapons, since a sword made out of Mythril was, not surprisingly, nothing to him.

And lastly, I had a potion pouch, given to me by Maria, since I lost mine.

All things considered, I could handle myself just fine if my family tried to come after me again. I doubt they have anyone as strong as Boras on their side or willing to work for them after the mess they have committed. Plus, they've sent most of their Black Knights to get me, meaning that they severely lack any real manpower to do much of anything. After all, taking a glance at the crowd of people around us, there are people who are ready for that scenario.

To add on more protection, knights from the third knight order, sent from the royal capital, were here to guard me. Compared to the Fourth, the Third Knight Order is meant to guard high-value individuals, like diplomats or people other than royalty.

As for the first and second knight orders, if anyone is wondering, the first is the royal guard, dedicated solely to the royal family, while the second, known as the palace guard, guards the royal palace and supplements the first when additional manpower is needed, since the first only has a total of 30 members.

I'm surprised that the Third Knight Order, despite being the second smallest of the seven knight orders, would come. They number around 100 members, and 5 of them, all of whom were mages, were blending into the crowd somewhere.

I was told beforehand about them by Argena, and I'm really surprised that they are hiding so well in plain sight, something my family's black knight couldn't do, since they only hide in the shadows where nobody is looking.

We went through all that, and we went home without any trouble, with the knights from the Third Knight Order beginning to patrol outside our house.

When I went in, I took a deep sigh because it's been a while since I last came back. A lot has happened, and I wanted to go to my soft bed and sleep on it, even though it was the afternoon, or maybe take a bath first.

It saddens me that tomorrow, Clare and I will be leaving for Farsbarow because it's not safe here. Even with the protection from the knights from the Third Knight Order, temporarily guarding me, in addition to the knights from the Fourth, they would only stay till they finished cleaning up my family's mess.

Both of the knight orders have more important things to do than protecting a runaway noble child.

With that in mind, I told Clare to prepare me a bath as I went to my office.

Papers were scattered around on my desk, and books lay beside it as I left it, though the room was spotless, which I presume Clare had cleaned while I was out.
