Saito was a little worried that the mercenary hired by the Crown Prince would be able to notice the irregularities within the dust cloud which was why he used the Illusion to make it seem as though there were no irregularities.

It was a rather week illusion which would have shattered the moment there was a magic change but since the mercenary didn't know about it, he wasn't able to see through the illusion. The reason Saito was confident in his illusion being able to successfully fool the mercenary was because it wasn't cast on the Mercenary directly but on the surrounding, which fooled his eyes. It was generally very difficult to detect an illusion being cast on the surrounding.

Saito flew at a very high altitude and gradually increased his speed. After they passed the city, he descended at a very high speed that he would seem like a shooting star dropping on the ground.

At this moment, Akazawa felt like he would die just by the air resistance he was experiencing right now. He couldn't speak anything as Saito continued to sped towards the ground.

They reached the forest which was on the Eastern Side of the City. General Willard had already brought a horse here and tied it to a tree.

It didn't take long time for Saito to find the horse. He slowly landed on the ground and Akazawa finally took some quick breaths. He felt that he was going to die while they were coming down.

Saito noticed the wound on his left hand and closed his eyes, "Healing Aura!" He used this spell to close his wounds. Saito asked him while furrowing his brows, "Can you ride the horse in your condition? Even though the wounds have closed, you must still be feeling the pain right now."

Akazawa let out a bitter laugh and said, "After everything that has happened. This is nothing. Do not worry, Sir Axel, I will travel to the Village of Trost and hide there for the time being."

Saito nodded his head because this was all according to his plan. He pulled out a pouch containing 1000 gold coins and threw it towards Akazawa, "Keep it with you. Your task is to stay alive and hidden within the village. Don't look for attention and heal completely first."

Akazawa held the gold coins. He was feeling rather complicated right now 'I have been following Crown Prince for so long yet I have never been rewarded more than 100 Gold Coins. This guy casually hands over 1000 Gold Coins, isn't he worried that I would run away?'

He stared at Saito and asked him curiously, "Aren't you curious that I would run away with these? 1000 Gold Coins are sufficient for me to live far away and live the life of a small noble."

Saito casually explained to him, "If you satisfied with just these then feel free to run away. I can assure you that these are just small number of coins compared to what you could have in the future. Though I am sure that you wouldn't run away and leave your family behind."

Akazawa was rather embarrassed right now as he understood that he let the greed take control of him and forget about this. He jumped on the horse. Saito cut off the rope with which the horse had been tied to the tree.

"Remember to change your name." Saito gave him one last advice before Akazawa ran off with the horse.

Akazawa thought for a few seconds before he said, "Evan Barret… That shall be the name I will use in the future."

Akazawa hits the horse on its abdomen with his foot and starts to travel towards the Trost Village. It was a rather poor village, there was another reason why Saito had sent him to that village.

It just wasn't a temporary shelter for Akazawa. That village was going to be rather important in the future.

Saito let out a sigh as he watched him leave, "Finally, he is gone now. Time to meet up with Sophie. I guess I will also meet up with little Alferd."

He didn't plan on meeting up with Lyra and Chloe right now. The reason was because he planned to stay away from them for a period of time. He wanted them to develop without his presence together with them at all times.

They had strong weapons. They had strong magic. He was satisfied with their intelligence and the ability to take care of themselves. He had witnessed the death of many demons within the Blood Crystal cave.

The thing that pleased him was that the two of them didn't even look tired. Their recovery of their magic was downright terrifying. Well, the same was true for Saito. He had a greater magic reservoir than the two of them but still his whole magic could be recovered at the same time as them.

Nothing less than the Monster was going to define him!

Besides, the things that he was planning to do were going to be very ruthless. It was better for the two of them to never come to know about it.

It was going to be hard to keep them from this secret but Saito was of the belief that nothing was impossible. For now, he had a month in which he could work without a worry. He knew that Rita wouldn't say anything about him.

It seemed as though even the king had tactfully approved of Saito. There was no need to be worried if he wasn't found within the palace.

He flew towards the mansion of Sophie at a high speed. Just like before, he entered her mansion through the balcony. It was the afternoon right now so the mother and son were eating lunch right now.

"Yo!" Saito suddenly dropped in within their house from the first floor. Both the mother and son were initially startled when they heard someone speak.

As Sophie saw that it was Saito, she visibly relaxed while Alferd was excited to see Saito, "Big Brother Axel!"

Saito gave him a brilliant smile and pats on top of his head, "So, how are you doing Alferd? Have you been good to your mother?"

Alferd seems to be giving him a cute pout as he said, "I never trouble my mother. Right mother?"

Sophie had a mischievous smile on her face, "Naughty boy. You turn into a good boy in front of Sir Axel and trouble me when the two of us are alone."

In response, Alferd started to laugh innocently. Saito decided to take Alferd's side and said to him, "Who's going to trouble parents if not their own children, right Alferd?"

"Right, right! Big brother is right." Alferd quickly agreed to his words.

Saito turned towards him and said to him, "Let's go out in the garden. I promised to teach you a spell, right? The time is now."

"YAY! THANK YOU, BIG BROTHER!" An excited Alferd launched himself towards Saito.

Saito held his small hand and pulled him along with himself towards the garden. Their garden was quite large and fortunately, the whole mansion was covered by large walls of 20 metres high.

Saito stared at Alferd and analysed him closely 'Iris, what is the elemental affinity of Alferd?'

He received a response after a 10 seconds delay [Master, Alferd has a rare Dual Elemental Physique. He has equal affinity towards Fire and Light.]

Saito muttered in a low voice, "Fire and Light huh… I guess I can teach him basic Fire Techniques."

Saito suddenly concentrated and gazed at Alferd, "Alferd… Do you know how to use magic?"

Alferd slowly nodded, he had studied about magic since he had returned back here. His mother had supported him in learning magic.

Alferd was easily able to infuse his magic within non-living materials however it wouldn't last long. But he could at least use magic.

Saito spoke in his head 'Iris… Give me the incarnations for the Basic Fireball technique.'

Iris proceeded to give him the incarnations. These were something that only a beginner would require.. After a particular level, they would be able to control the element well enough to not require the use of incarnations.
