Acting as though nothing had happened, Skynder sat down and began to read. He left soon after, having his fill. Skyrge continued to write without pause the entire ti, as if countless ideas were constantly flowing through his head.
The next morning, Skynder continued to go to school as usual, spending almost all of his ti studying in so form. He studied poison after school, and everything else during school. At this rate, he wasn't sure how much more intelligence he would have by the start of the next Imperial Scholar Camp.
Eventually, a new year ca. The advent of a new year did not affect Skynder much, aside from changing the date he wrote down on papers, but the arrival of soone did.
Skynder looked out his window as a woman, holding only a sword, walked towards the house. Nobody else had noticed her, but while laying down, Skynder had felt as if the air had grown sharp.
His curiosity had led him to this scene, where his sister, Skybelle, walked towards the house as a true Sword Master.
Skynder ca out of his room and walked downstairs. Opening the door, he was the only one awake to greet Skybelle as she had co deep into the night.
She looked at Skynder, a smile on her face. This only lasted for a mont as she looked Skynder up and down.
"What happened to you?"
"I was gonna ask the sa thing." Skynder said.
She shrugged her shoulders. "Nothing that can't wait until the morning. You aren't in any imdiate danger, are you?"
Skynder shook his head.
Skybelle nodded. "Then I'll head to bed. I'm about to pass out from exhaustion."
Skynder moved to the side, allowing Skybelle to walk past him.
Although she had hardly changed in personality from before, the feeling around her, as well as her status within the Empire, had completely transford since the last ti had seen her.
Skynder could do nothing but go to sleep and wait until the next morning. When he woke up, everybody had already been thrown into disarray by Skybelle's appearance, as well as her advancent to Sword Master. Their parents' pride could not even be described, while their siblings were also extrely excited.
Skynder seed to be the only calm one, but that was simply because Skyrge had yet to appear, if he even would.
Seeing Skynder appear, everyone shared their excitent with him. However, he eventually had to go to school. lly, who was equally happy at Skybelle's arrival, unwillingly went to school as well.
Skynder's day continued as normal, but when he returned, there was a party waiting.
Skybelle calmly enjoyed the festivities, despite the fact that she was far from young.
However, Skybelle would not stay for long. As a Sword Master, she needed to report to the Emperor. She was now an integral part of the Empire and needed to work for it. What a Sword Master did, they could only guess.
Skybelle left the next day, and everyone's lives continued as always. Skynder's research on poison, and general knowledge, grew every single day. He did not have a single peer within the entirety of the Sky Barony.
Surprisingly, a month after Skybelle left, another person returned to the Sky Barony.
Though his status was less than Skybelle's, the effects on the Sky Barony by his return were far greater than the effects caused by Skybelle's return.
That was because Sky the second, at the age of 24, was returning to the Sky Barony to beco the new Baron Sky. In the days leading up to his return, his father had indeed been looking happier. He was more than forty years old, and was due to enjoy retirent. He had a suitable successor that he had absolutely no complaints about.
In fact, if Sky the second had not insisted on studying for a bit longer in the Imperial Capital, it would not have taken so long.
Along with Sky the second was a woman, his wife, who would beco baroness of the Sky family. She was not so noble, but a commoner. Although most noble houses would not let commoners marry into their family, they were only a Barony.
It was not unusual for soone of a Barony to marry a commoner, though it was uncommon for the heir of the Barony to do so.
Sky the second arrived with his beautiful wife at the front gate. He was a complete adult. He had full facial hair and a slightly aged face. His father enthusiastically greeted him at the gate, leading him in.
Everyone greeted Sky the second and his wife, welcoming her to the family just as they had lly.
However, for the following days after that, Baron Sky and Sky the second were seldom seen. Naturally, the transference required a lot of information to be passed down, including secrets and important history.
After nearly a week of only being seen at breakfast and dinner, an official ceremony took place. Soone from the Imperial Capital arrived and officially declared Sky the second, now simply Sky, as the new Baron Sky.
As for their father, he would take his old nickna, Skyblue.
Afterwards, another small ceremony took place, making Baron Sky's wife, who would now be known as Skylight, the Baroness.
This greatly changed the Sky Barony.
The peace and calm was broken as changes took place. Baron Sky began to implent his ideas thought of over many years, preparing for this very mont. Whether or not these changes would bring great results or bad endings was unknown.
A vast amount of these changes seed to center around the only "City" within the Sky Barony, known as Sky City.
It seed as though the new Baron Sky was much more ambitious than the last and intended to turn this place into a true city, not one that was barely considered a city.
The only way this affected Skynder was through the changes made to the school. However, these were all minor and could be mostly ignored.
He thought that would be the end of what affected him, but one day, the new Baron Sky pulled him aside.
