Ashoka got ready for the departure from tempest manor along with Sudhatta.
It was their 10th birthday and probably there will not be any celebration since they had a very long journey ahead of them.
"How is your training going on blondy?"
It has been a very long ti since Ashoka had a normal conversation with Sudhatta, maybe due to them living in different rooms in the training hall, they seldom talked with each other.
And due to Ashoka's busy training schedule, he got even less ti to spare.
As Sudhatta was also undergoing his own training regi, it beco even hard for them to see each other.
"I'm doing my best..wait...! I told you to not call that"
Sudhatta whined, belatedly realizing that his younger brother was still calling him by a pet na.
"Anyway, let's spar when we take a break, I want to see if you have improved or not"
"Don't ignore what I just said"
Despite his complaining, Ashoka ignored him saying just what he wanted.
They both boarded the steel carriage with their nanny Hema.
Since it was not permitted, there was no one other than so knights of the tempest manor and Alberad to send them off.
Cain was noticeable even among them because he was the only one with eyes full of tears among the knights bowing to them.
"See you later kids"
Alberad was also waving at them with a broad smile.
They stood there till the silhouette of the carriage disappeared and only when they could no longer see the carriage did they move back in.
"I hope you can lead a happy life, my prince"
Cain bowed deeply before leaving for his duty.

Ashoka and Sudhatta's days at the tempest manor were accompanied by constant rain. However, once the carriage escorting them descended the mountain and reached the bottom, the scenery was white.
It was the Ujjain province's first snowfall. Moreover, a heavy snowfall. Within hours, the snow had piled up to knee level.
Due to this pure white landscape, the carriage had to slow down its pace. The knights Ram and Karan got off and began to sweep the snow in their way with their swords.
"We should take refuge in a village nearby and wait for it to stop snowing. Even if we were to reach the capital without stopping, we wouldn't be able to use the transfer gate due to the snow."
"You're right. We've got no choice."
Although this was Ashoka's first ti seeing snow in a long while, he wasn't particularly excited about it due to their grave circumstances.
A carriage advancing slowly, and a snowfall that seems to be attempting to swallow the entire world whole.
"Whoa....(>.
