Chapter 42: Arrival At Ainzlark

The journey to the Ainzlark academy was estimated to take five to seven days with carriage, even in good weather conditions.

The reason for such a long lapse of time was because of the distance of our home from the school's location.

Even though our family was a renowned noble family, a Duke's family to be exact, our territory was quite far from the big cities in the Eastern Kingdom. How crazy was that?

That was why my father often had to spend a great deal of time away from home, since it would be inconvenient if he kept commuting from our home to the bustling city, where his attention was mostly focused on.

I had no idea as to the cause of such an anomaly, but since someone had to manage the vast lands far away from the Kingdom's hub, my father's noble lineage was placed in charge of it.

I didn't mind much, though. It was thanks to this that we hardly had guests come over, and even though I was already 12, I hadn't for once left our territory.
