Kalle tried to recall the events that happened, sweat trickled from his face. When did he last heard Victor's voice? he thought.

  He remembered that the last time he heard his voice is when they got out of the carriage. Therefore the bracelet must have been lost during the period of his wandering. He thought of the possibility that he dropped the bracelet somewhere, but he found the idea unrealistic.

  Then he came into conclusion, someone has stolen the bracelet.

  He wondered when did it happen, or how.

  He didn't know.

  Solara is a massive city and looking for a lost bracelet especially one that is stolen would be extremely challenging.

  Desperate, Kalle returned to the spots he once visited asking, fellow travellers if they saw the bracelet.

  Despite his efforts none of the people he asked seemed to know or recognize the bracelet.

  Tired, Kalle returned to the bench where he once again seated himself. He closed his eyes and produced a sigh.

  Suddenly he saw a distant yellowish light. Surprised, he opened his eyes, yet that same moment, the light immedietly disappeared.

  Confused, Kalle tilted his head again before, trying to close his eyes. Sure enough the light was there once again. Kalle opened his eyes and stood up.

  For some reason he felt like he knew where the bracelet was. Instinctively, he tried to follow the light. As if guiding him within the streets. Kalle moved quickly despite not knowing the terrain, he didn't know why but he felt that he could trust the light.

  After some twist and turns he arrive at an alley a little far from the center of the city he moved quickly and passed the alley and when he got out he saw several housing that are mostly have 2 floors. The houses were mainly made out of wood, having less details than the ones near the center of the city.

  He picked up the light in one of the houses, this one also has a second floor with stone foundation.

  He was sure that the bracelet was inside, yet he didn't know what to do. He can't just barge in and tell the owner of the house that he suspects him of stealing.

  He walked back and forth in front of the house before finally deciding to knock.

  After Kalle knocked, he heard footsteps coming towards the door, he didn't know what to expect, he didn't even know what would he say.

  However when the door opened what he saw was not what he expected. He saw an old woman who might be around her 60's.

  The woman had silver long hair and a aristocratic nose. Kalle could still see the beauty of the woman despite her age.

  "Could I help you with anything?" The woman spoke his voice sounded soft and caring.

  Kalle didn't know what to say he just stared at the woman absently.

  He looked at inside of the room he saw a cloak hanging in the coat rack, the same cloak that bumped into him.

  A idea hit him.

  "The owner of the cloak? Does he live here? I think he dropped something" Kalle said, He made that up.

  The woman narrowed her eyes before appearing to realize something.

  "Oh, you mean Olivia? I think she is in her room, I would call her" The woman said with a smile.

  Kalle though he heard it wrong.

  "Why don't you take a seat while I call her" the woman said.

  The woman's kindness took Kalle by surprise, hesitantly he entered the house and took a seat with one of the chairs, as the old woman moved upstairs.

  The woman seemed genuinely kind, Kalle thought he wondered what kind of person this Olivia was.

  When the old woman got down of the stairs she was with another woman, younger she looked to be similar age with Kalle. She had black flowing hair and almost yellow eyes that seemed to glow a dim light.

  The woman named Olivia stared fiercely at Kalle, her face cannot be read.

  The old woman looked at Kalle and introduced herself.

  "This is my grandchild, Olivia she owns the cloak and I'm Cynthia"

  Kalle nodded.

  "My name is Kalle"

  Kalle could still feel Olivia's gaze on him.

  The old lady named Cynthia excused herself, she told the two that she would be making coffee.

  As she did, Olivia sat in a chair in front of Kalle with her legs crossed, still staring at Kalle.

  She wore fitted tunic that seemed to help her move more agility, she also wears fitted trousers that has a black color.

  "What do you need" her voice cold, echoing within the room.

  This tale has been unlawfully obtained from Royal Road. If you discover it on Amazon, kindly report it.

  "I need what I own" Kalle declared.

  "How did you find me?" Olivia asked.

  "Where is the bracelet" Kalle said, ignoring her question.

  "That bracelet was no longer yours."

  "Your grandmother don't seem to know about your... Hobbies " Kalle said taunting Olivia.

  The taunting seemed to work as Olivia swiftly stood up and pushed kalle at his chair, pointing a dagger at his neck.

  "Are you threatening me?" Her voice cold, her eyes glowing eerily.

  "I just want the bracelet back" Kalle said without flinching. He had a strange gut feeling that Olivia is not an evil person, neither is her grandma.

  "How Did You find me?" Olivia said intensely, pointing the dagger more closer to Kalle's neck.

  "Connection, I have a connection or bond with the bracelet, can you atleast get that dagger away from me" Kalle said calmly.

  Olivia's eyes widened, she have heard about relics that could bond with it's wielder. If what this man states is true, then the relic could be sold for a high price, however since it's already bonded she isn't sure if any one would still buy it.

  Slowly she withdraw the dagger from Kalle's neck, putting it back in her trousers and taking a seat to her chair.

  She looked emptily at Kalle, she seemed to be deciding on what to do.

  Kalle sighed, he stared at Olivia for some time before asking.

  "Are you the phantom thief? Someone told me the rumours"

  Olivia smiled, it was the first time Kalle had ever saw her smile. She was beautiful just like her grandmother.

  "What do you think?" She asked

  "That you are, although I'm surprised"

  Olivia raised her brow.

  "Why, because I'm a woman?"

  "No, because you don't seemed to be a bad person, yet you are know as a notorious thief"

  Olivia looked at Kalle.

  "I would appreciate, you not using the word thief. Or even talking about it, also if you're given the talents for something isn't best to use it?"

  "I guess you're right, so what now? Can I get the bracelet back?" Kalle asked.

  Olivia sighed, she moved his hand towards his pocket and thrown something shiny at Kalle. When Kalle looked more closely he found out that it was the bracelet.

  "I wouldn't even be able to sell that anyways" she said now standing up, she passed Kalle while moving up stairs.

  As she does, Cynthia returned with coffee for kalle.

  "Olivia, where are you going?" Cynthia asked.

  "Don't worry, we have it settled already" Olivia said as she moved upstairs.

  "That girl." Cynthia sighed.

  "You know, she was always like that but she is a good person" Cynthia explained.

  "She seemed to be" Kalle said remembering, that Olivia still returned the bracelet to him.

  "I would also like to thank you for being extremely kind to me" Kalle said to Cynthia.

  "It's fine, you don't seemed to be a bad person so I don't see a problem" Cynthia said with a smile.

  The two exchanged some more words as Kalle drinks the Coffee offered by the old lady. When he was finished he thanked her for the hospitalities and said his goodbyes.

  When Kalle finally got out of the house it was already noon. He have been busy searching for the bracelet.

  Kalle now felt relieved to have the bracelet in his possession again, he looked at the bracelet that is currently worn on his left arm.

  'So the phantom thief wouldn't be a problem huh?'

  Victor said sarcastically.

  Kalle sneered, he didn't like Victor's remark yet he felt relieved to have him back.

  "She was better than I expected" Kalle said.

  "Better than you?" Victor said trying to annoy Kalle.

  "Definitely not"

  Kalle said smiling as he took out a dagger out of his pockets, it was the same dagger Olivia pointed at her, it has a dark wood color with a shining silver edge.

  At it's handle, Carved the letters: O. D, Kalle assumed it was Her initials.

  'Wait, when did you?' Victor said sounding confused.

  Kalle smiled.

  "I have my ways"

  Kalle have now arrived at the bustling streets with loud crowd and merchants, he finally decided to return to the bench he once seated to he could rest.

  "Hey?" It was Kalle speaking to victor.

  'hmm?' Victor sounding curious.

  "When the bracelet was gone, I saw a light as if calling me, is that you?" Kalle asked.

  'Yes, that was me. I tried to send you my location' Victor answered.

  "How?"

  'I guess I also have my ways' Victor said sounding triumphant.

  Kalle chuckled, as he once again looked at the dagger he just taken out of his pocket.

  'what are you gonna do with that now?' Victor asked.

  "I don't know, souvenir? I guess. It's not like we will ever meet again" Kalle answered.

  Or atleast that's what he thought.

  Kalle rested at the bench for a few more minutes before deciding to finally head towards the academy.

  He stood up, took his belongings and started walking.

  The walk was uneventful, he passed various stalls, merchants, saw several kinds of travellers.

  It took him almost half an hour to reach the academy, but when he finally reached it his mouth gaped.

  The academy was far bigger than he expected. With a appearance of a castle, has three tower standing tall and great silver gate that is blocking all the entrance.

  Kalle was still outside the gate but he could see that the academy must have a enormous grounds, it looked like a small town itself.

  When he arrived at the gate he saw a stout man, who seemed to be the guard.

  The man asked him his identification.

  "Umm, I actually don't have any form of identification, I'm new here" Kalle explained.

  "Then I can't let you enter, the enrollment was already done a long time ago" the stout man said.

  "Actually I think, there is something arranged for me, my name is Kalle Thyllos"

  The stout man widened his eyes, the name clearly rings something in him.

  "Yeah... Wait I'll talk to someone" The stout man said as he left his post and headed inside the academy.

  Kalle noticed a waiting bench arranged just before the gates, Tired of the walk he took a seat in one of the benches.

  'He seemed surprised' Victor told Kalle.

  "Yeah" Kalle said as if expecting the reaction of the guard.

  This confused Victor yet he didn't ask Kalle, he knew Kalle was secretive about his past.

  After some time the guard have finally arrived, he was with a man with a respectable clothing, he looks like someone with position, Kalle wondered it this is the man Gabriel was talking about.

  Kalle stood up to great the two, the stout man returned to his post as if letting the man with him talk to Kalle.

  "You're Kalle is that right? Kalle Thyllos" The man asked.

  "Yes" Kalle answered plainly.

  "I'm Leo Swiftstrike, the headmaster is expecting you, you should follow me" the man named Leo gestured his hand and suddenly, the smaller part of the gate opened, allowing the entrance of Kalle.

  Kalle then entered the academy, Leo guiding him through the campus grounds.

  The distance between the gate and the main building seemed enormous. It took them whole five minutes to arrive at the academy doors.

  Kalle observed the halls, the walls were filled with paintings that he doesn't recognize.

  The halls were mainly empty, which is fair, knowing that the classes would start four days from now.

  Suddenly, Kalle saw stairs the seemed to be heading towards the higher parts of the school, the two of them climbed the steep stairs.

  When they finally reached the second floor they moved left and proceeded walking a few minutes before finally stopping at a large double door that was adorned with gold like borders.

  "He's here" Leo said, after knocking at the door.

  "Let him in" the voice was firm, it came from the other side of the door.

  Slowly Leo, opened the door.

  What Kalle see was a largely furnished room with a table and chairs lined up neatly. The room seemed to be a little to big to be an office.

  At the chair, just behind the table a man is sitting with ornated blue clothes and green colored eyes, he seemed to be around his 40s yet there is still vigor in his appearance.

  In the table can be seen a set of that game that Kalle, Eli and Anthon played.

  King's Towers.

  "Have a seat" The man sitting suggested.

  Kalle took a seat.

  "First, I should introduce my self I'm the head master of this academy" the man declared.

  "My name is Richard Winterheart"
