"Thank you." Lucian's father thanked the guard before he closed the carraige door.
Lucian's parents and Althea's parents seemed already somewhat acquainted with how they chatted like old friends.
During the ride Lucian noticed the Horses pulling the Carraige had taken to the skies and was flying so fast the world below only looked like a blur while the planet was so large all he could see ahead was a flat plane with the silhouette's of great trees painted against the orangish pink skies.
Seeing his son Looking out the carraige windows with a look of excitement Lucian's father began to speak. "Those are called apocalyptic shire horses, their a race of holy divine beast that have aligned themselves with our light family." His dad spoke proudly as if he had arranged all of this himself causing his wife to roll her eyes at his words.
But hearing him speak Althea's fathers eyebrow rose, "Luthor, you've become rank S as well?" Althea's father spoke with a shocked look on his face.
Althea's father was of average height standing 2 meters tall. He had a defined square jaw, so much so that it could be seen through the short beard he wore. His hair was midnight black giving him a dark look and aura because his clothes were some midnight red robes with gold embroidery and lining.
Lucian's father was clean shaven with short curly silver hair. Both fathers looked to be in their early thirties the only difference was hair color eye color and Lucian's father was clean shaven while wearing a white robe with silver lining and embriodery. His father also wore his hood of his robe up atop his head.
"Oh you don't get it he only said that to show off ya big dud!" Althea's mother said while giving her fathers forehead a thump.
"Raya I obviously know what he intended I was only asking the man for clarity!" Althea's father spoke roughly as his face became red with embarrassment as he turned around and huffed off.
Althea's mother was slightly shorter than her husband and she had flowing red hair that resembled blood rivers flowing through an untarnished battlefield.
Her scarlet hair covered some of her face, yet the part of her face visible was more than enough to understand just looking at her too long could lead down a road of destruction her beauty was so rare.
"Acelia what do you say of this you surely will not stand by as they insult my integrity." Luthor spoke causing all of the parents to burst out into laughter as if reliving good old times.
Lucian and Althea shared glances bewildered at their parents behavior.
Eventually both parents began to question the children as if trying to get all the details of what the didn't get to know.
But their questions were quickly and simply shut dow with both youths responding that they were joining the adventurers guild which suprised the parents. They too had joined the adventurers guild just because they were more free spirited.
The only that that confused the parents was why would they have such a large responsibility but also join the most relaxed faction, it just didn't make sense.
Eventually the parents stopped their questioning as they noticed tired looks in Lucian and Althea's eyes.
The sky had become darker and clouds filled the skies as snow fell on the ground where they had landed.
"Constanz carry Althea inside." Raya spoke to which the man nodded as he wrapped Althea in his energy and made her levitate behind him as he walked onto their estate property which seemed to only have 2 guards covered from hear to toe in winter proven armour.
"We will catch up at the adventurers guild in 3 months for our anual joint mission, we might be ready to go for a big one this year." Constanz spoke in the direction of Lucian's parents with a big grin on his face.
"You all be good until then!" Lucian's father spoke as he closed the carraige door and the horses neighed before charging off and taking to the skies.
Lucian slept most of the ride, and woke up as the sun had began to reappear on the other side of the horizon.
The horse began its descent below the clouds bringing into sight the view of Lucian's family's estate.
The horses swiftly and smoothly landed directly in front of the property gates. The entire property outside the gates was surrounded by large forest with the land full of snow and a single road leading to the front gate of the estate.
Within the estate upon entry the forest had been thinned out to a tree only being every 6meter or so at specific intervals with and intricate design of low bushes creating a maze like pattern.
Lucian and his parents quickly entered into their home where they were created by their house servants.
"Welcome home Master, we have a meal already prepared within the dining hall." The servants spoke in practiced unison.
Hearing this Lucian's parents thanked the housekeepers and told them they could take the rest of the day off and they would enjoy a regular day with their son.
