The next three days passed uneventfully for me.
Most of the time, I had been lazing around the house, talking with Christina and Nymeria.
In the evening, I spent my time training Elijah and Aimar and sparring with Arawn at times.
As boring as the days might have been, I was happy spending my time like this.
I also visited the academy for a day and informed them about my situation.
Though unhappy, they didn't have the guts to talk back to me.

As the sun slowly settled down the horizon, I sat back on a stone in my backyard.
Elijah and Aimar both lay on the ground, greedily taking in air like wild animals.
Arawn also stood by my side as he examined their progress.
But after a long time of waiting, he shook his head.
"They are not up to the mark, my lord," he said to me. "…It will take a lot of time for them to reach anywhere near you."
"I know," I replied, staring at Aimar. "They are not working that hard."
