(A day after depart from Grayscot village)
Thanks to the villagers that gave us a ride from Graycott, we got to go to the border of Grand Duke territory without walking. That would take us a month while walking. While sitting and holding Elijah's hand, I look at the map that Grandpa Stewart gave me. I think it is already nearby.
I also have learned from the book that Altyzurian has several states that are under provision of the Royal Duke. While the cities are governed by the Grand Duke. Meanwhile, small villages like Graycott and Laven village were observed by the Duke. Thus, the village leader is titled as a lord. Same goes like Earth, where there is a country. In a country, there's a state. In the state, there is a city and each city has its own area.
Meanwhile, there is also a master title that is expert with their magic skill and given to those who master the four elements which are fire, water, wind, and earth. The head of school's principal is given the title master to show respect as they are also capable and have the same level as them.
