'Alice, actually she needs your help.' Kalp said and told everything to Alice.
'Seriously, you really know how to get into trouble.' Alice said and Kalp smiles.
'So, how can I help? Alice said.
'Seriously, thank you.' Kalp said with joy.
'Thank you, Ma'am.' Calen said and bows down her neck.
'Don't call me ma'am, call me Alice.' Alice said.
'Okay, Alice.' Calen said with a smile.
'So, what's your plan?' Alice asked.
'You have to make her like a man and her face less attractive.' Kalp said.
'What?' Alice said.
'Like, make her chest as flat as possible, darken her eyebrows and embellish her face to make it unattractive. If possible, make her look like she is a victim of a facial disease, like burnt face or something like that. So that the security guard can't identify her properly.' Kalp said.
'You don't seem like having a brain.' Alice said.
'What, why do you think I have no brain?' Kalp asked.
'The way, you behave without thinking.' Alice said, and Calen sees both Alice and Kalp quarreling with each other and starts laughing.
Alice and Kalp stop quarreling and look at Calen laughing. Then they both smile.
After that Calen goes with Alice to her room with Kalp's full old clothes and Kalp goes to the market. After some time, Kalp comes back with a bag which is bigger in size. He goes into his room and puts the bag on the bed and then goes to Alice's room and knocks on the door.
'Alice.' Kalp said. Alice opens the door. Kalp goes inside the room and sees Calen.
'Alice, I must say your makeup skills are too good, no one would recognizes her.' Kalp said. Calen's eyebrows are black and face is brown. She has black spots on her face and under her nose, her face is like it has been is burnt.
'But Alice you are missing something.' Kalp said.
'What?' Alice said.
'Her hands and feet are still white.' Kalp said.
'Oh! I forgot about them.' Alice says and starts doing it.
'Okay, call me when it is done.' Kalp says and leaves for his room.
He takes out everything from his magic bag and puts all things in a new magic bag and in that magic bag he puts his few clothes, fruits, bread and a new sword that he bought. And in a small carry bag, he puts four apples, two sandwiches and a water bottle.
'It's done.' Kalp said.
'Thank you dad, it is because of your good upbringing and this money that I am able to help someone today.' Kalp said to himself and starts missing him and becomes very sad. Tears start rolling out of his eyes. Then Alice knocked on the door and kalp wiped away his tears.
'Alice, wait, I am coming.' Kalp said and put 100 coppers, 50 silvers and 1 gold coins in magic bag. Then he takes that bag with him.
'I am coming.' Kalp said and went into Alice room.
'Good, now cover your hair with a cloth and wear a hood jacket. It's night so no one feel awkward and your hair will also be covered.' Kalp said.
'By the way, why can't we color or cut her hair?' Alice asked.
'You know Elves have green, blue or red color and if any Elf has hair of any other color, they think that elf is cursed or demon child and they don't allow them in Elf kingdom. If Calen enters elf kingdom, then they will blindly start attacking Calen. In short, her long green hair is her identity to enter in Elf kingdom. If human finds out that there is Elf then Elf Kingdom border will help her.' Kalp said and Alice and Calen are looking at him shocking.
'What happened?' Kalp said.
'You think too far and you have so much knowledge of Elves.' Alice said.
'You are very intelligent.' Calen said.
'I read it in a book that my brother got from his school. Anyway, Calen, I forgot to ask, do you know how to do magic?' Kalp said.
'Yes, I'm in orange and eighth primary stage.' Calen said.
'Wow! You are so good in magic and what's your age?' Kalp asked.
'I am twenty-years-old.' Calen said.
'Okay, that's great. You can use magic. Now, the second problem is how to get you out from capital. We'll have to bribe the guards.' Kalp said.
'She can get out of the west gate. There is not tight security and you can easily bribe the guard.' Alice said.
'How do you know?' Kalp asked.
'I went there.' Alice said.
'Okay, we will do that.' Kalp said.
'What's the third and forth problem?' Calen asked.
'Third problem is travel. If you go on foot, It will take a long time to reach. You should try to travel alone, as your identity can be revealed in crowd. So, avoid groups and talking to people.' Kalp said.
'Okay.' Calen said.
'That makeup has no use in the day, so always hide
your face. If you find a horse, buy it, okay. I don't know at what cost you will get, so you will have to find out yourself.' Kalp said, but Alice interferes.
'It will cost you around 80 slivers to 1 gold coin.' Alice said.
'Okay, but I don't have money.' Calen said.
'Don't worry about it, I have kept 100 copper, 50 silver and 1 gold coins in that bag.' Kalp said.
'I can't take that much. You have already done a lot for me.' Calen said.
'It's okay. It's not much and it also has a sword, so when you go out of the capital, take it out and always wear this sword so that no one tries to mess with you. Bread, some fruits and clothes are also in it. So, eat bread first.' Kalp said and Alice is very shocked. And Calen starts crying.
'Kalp, I can't take that much.' Calen said.
'Don't worry, take it. Now the fourth problem is how to cross the border, by the way, how did they capture you?' Kalp said.
'I came with my father and I was also curious to see humans and then in the night, a few humans attacked and entered our forest. When my father went to stop them then many humans came and burnt the trees. They killed elves and captured me.' Calen is crying while telling. Then Alice hugs her.
'From that day, you two are the only humans who are so kind. I thought that all the humans were so heartless and cruel.' Calen said crying.
After that, Kalp opens the map. A border between the Human and the elf kingdom is also shown.
'Do you know the name and where is that place on this map can you tell?' Kalp asked and Calen pointed a finger to the end of the border between both the kingdoms.
'Here, there is a sea also' Calen said.
'It has been four months since that conflict occur here. Therefore, this place is not safe for entry. You should enter through both the borders. There is a forests and big trees, so you can easily escape. If you see a danger in entering, there are many soldiers, then leave that place and go towards this village, okay.' Kalp said.
'Okay.' Alice said.
'If something happens to you there and you can't find a place then go to this village. The village name is Sanctity. There is an oracle outside the village, behind the oracle is a house, which is mine. There is a chance, you meet Aunt Lily, tell her I sent you, she will help you. You can stay at my house. The border is not far from my house, so you can go and check everyday, Okay.' Kalp said.
'Okay.' Alice said.
'Kalp, are you really a fifteen-sixteen years old? Because the way, your brain is working and the way, you are talking like thirty-forty years old man. For a while, I really forgot that I am listening to a fifteen-sixteen years old child.' Alice said.
'Yes, me too. I thought an uncle was talking to me.' Calen said.
'Well, I am thirty-four years old.' Kalp thought.
'Looks like, I am a genius.' Kalp said and laughed.
'Enough. Don't fly too much.' Alice said and Calen laughed.
'So, what's the time now?' Kalp asked
'It's ten minutes left to 8 PM.' Alice says looking at her pocket watch.
'Okay, we will leave in twenty minutes. Get ready, and Calen, eat these sandwiches because after that I think you will not get any time. I am going to Academy registration office for submitting my bag.' Kalp said and gave Calen a sandwich from the storage bag and also gave that storage bag to her.Then he leaves for his room.
After twenty minutes, all of them, check out and move towards to commoner resident district. They take bus and get off the bus in front of the noble commercial district gate, In front of that, there is a commoner resident district gate and behind that gate, there are carriages. On the road, some street lights are on and a few are off. There are five storey buildings and all are of same structure and painted white.
'This place seems to have been made only for commoners and is simply to tell them to know your place.' Kalp said.
'Right, let's go.' Alice said.
They all sit in a carriage and move on. The road is badly broken.
'Kalp, where's your bag? I just remember you gave your magic bag to Calen, your handbag and sword are in my bag.' Alice asked.
'Oh, I submitted it in the Academy office.' Kalp said.
After some time, they reach western gate. There, they see a few carriages which are going outside of the village.
'Looks like, we don't have much money to pay.' Kalp said.
'Why?' Calen asked.
'Because you will go in a carriage, just wait here.' Kalp said and he goes towards a line of carriages. Kalp starts talking to a black old man. After a few minutes, he gave that old man some silver coins and came back.
'What did you do?' Alice asked.
'Calen, you go and sit in that carriage. And remember that you are his granddaughter, here for treatment and you've lost your ID, okay.' Kalp said.
'Okay.' Calen said.
'You can't speak, so you have to endure it if they try to test you. And when they ask you to remove the from your face, then take off and immediately wear it back, okay.' Kalp said.
'Okay.' Calen said.
'When you reach the village, you will have to give him 5 sliver coins. He will also show you some horses and then you can travel easily.' Kalp said.
'Okay.' Calen said.
'Good and now go.' Kalp said.
'Kalp and Alice, you have to meet me, okay. My father's name is Kara. He is a leader of the one of the Elf kingdom east force. I will wait for both of you.' Calen says hugging both of them and runs towards the carriage and sits in it.
Alice and Kalp are standing near the building and watching everything. After a while, Calen and black old man reach the checkpoint. Old man and guard are talking to each other. Guard sees her face and gets back. Suddenly, the carriage moves forward.
'Wow, your plan worked.' Alice said in joy.
Kalp smiles and relief is visible on his face.
'Alice, let's go. We are also getting late. Calen has cleared her first step to her freedom. Now, it's our turn to clear our first step.' Kalp said.
After that they both go towards the North gate. They enter in the commercial District and take a bus to the north gate.
'Do you know how they will select?' Alice asked.
'When my brother gave this exam, he told me that so many people died in the exam time. The task of exam was to collect the points for the number batch that they gave you. Every number batch value had one point and they had to collect 10 points in two days.The test location was the forest.' Kalp said.
'Okay, so has your brother passed the exam?' Alice asked.
'Yes, he is in the third year and he is a genius. When he measured his Mana on registration, he was already in the orange stage and eighth primary stage and after he passed the selection exam, Academy gave him scholarship and on the other hand, I have no Mana.' Kalp said.
'But you have brain, and art of sword.' Alice said.
'I am glad you're opening up to me, otherwise you were like if I said something that offended you and you could have kill me.' Kalp said.
'It was because I didn't know you, but don't think that if we have to fight each other in future. I will easily let you go.' Alice said.
'North gate.' The ticket collector said loudly and many people get off the bus. It is very crowded here. Here, the gates to the exit are closed. On streets, most shops are closed and only food shops are open. There are only students who are carrying bags and weapons.
'Alice, give me my bag and sword.' Kalp said and Alice takes them out. Kalp wears the bag, he holds his sword and takes the hand watch out of the bag and sees time.
'Fifteen minutes left to 11 PM.' Kalp said.
