" Hmph, you get to stay with Lucy 24/7 Julia, at least let me cuddle and snuggle my son once a week." My mother said with a pout which was cute instead of anger.
" I humbly refuse!" Julia muttered under her breath while shaking her head as if given up.
" Mother, you usually don't even wait for me to come and directly barged in wherever I am, even if I am bathing, so did the sun rise from the west today ? " I asked with sarcastic smile.
" Ah, Lucy you are cutest when you are indifferent but hottest when you are angry." She said completely ignoring my sarcastic tone to the point even praising me for it.
I just smiled and shake my head, after all she is not like my mother from my past life actually she is way better compared to her.
" Mm, Lucy does your stomach hurt ? Are you not feeling better ? Should I cast a healing spell on you ? No, I guess a professional..." She became nervous after seeing my gloomy expression.
" I am fine mom, their's nothing wrong with me." I said to reassure her, well she is just like this, once I had a minor injury on my knee when I was three years, from what I know she literally left a earl waiting and came home.
" If you say so then it's okay..." She said still checking my body and behaviour.
" Oh, right we have to talk something really important." She said in a serious tone but wasn't able to hide her sad expression, even Julia's expression took 180° turn.
" Okay" I said with a firm voice, which suprised both ladies but both just smiled.
" Before that lets wait for our special guest, who is also going to give you, your first job." After my mother said this sentence I was shocked from my mother's possessiveness and overprotectiveness, it was quite a surprise for my mother to have invited a guest.
"Young master Lucas, viscountess athanasia lady Rosevelt has arrived and is waiting in the waiting room." Said a soft voice, I turned to look at the direction of the voice.
What came into my view was a beautiful petite maid knight ( I decided to call them that because of the silver chest plate) with white glowing hair and grey eyes with a expressionless look.
" Yes, lily we were going to come down right away" when my mother said that, she didn't even spare me a glance, bowed and turned to leave.
Lily, she was the first person I saw when I was born in this world, she doesn't really talk to me and except necessary she doesn't even come near me, keeping a noticeable distance.
This is something which I noticed quite a lot, except from my mother all the other people who I know looks at me with pity and gloominess, this is one of the secrets of Zechs household kept from me.
" Let's go " my mother said and we started following her.
After a short walk we arrived in a average size room with only a table and sofa from both sides, this is the room where my mother used to meet with important people as a viscountess and when I used means before I was born.
In one side of a sofa, a beautiful woman with the same features as my mother, except her hair was short and she didn't have a blonde end but they were fluffy unlike my mother's straight hair, compared to my mother, she was a slender woman in her early twenties.
" So you finally let someone in and meet your ' Prince'." She said after noticing my mother.
" Humph, what do you know of a mother's heart when it comes to her one and only child." My mother said while snorting.
" Yes, the reason I said that, because even the crown prince isn't protective about his child as much as you do, and his child is a girl" she said as if prepared for athanasia's excuse, to which my mother just snorted.
" It's an honor to meet you my lady, My name is Lucas de Zechs, I am the son of viscountess athanasia de Zechs." I introduced myself according to etiquette and manners of nobles when I noticed she was looking at me after her small argument with my mother.
She got surprised when she heard me with her mouth slightly open," Are you sure you are athy's son ?" She asked after what seemed like a eternity of awkwardness.
"What do you mean by that, huh?" My mother asked with a slight scoul on her face.
Noticing my confused gaze she continued," it's just that, your mother didn't even show slightest of respect and manners you have shown to anyone."
" ...is that true, mother ?" I asked with a dry smile to which she just averted her gaze and used her right to remain silent.
" And I was thinking that you were wild just as my mother and a elegant woman as a viscountess." I sighed while shaking my head.
" ...I am a elegant woman even in the house and outside, both."
" No you are not !!" This time along with me, the guest, lily and Julia said.
After that an eternity of silence spread, to be broken by the laughter of the guest, continued by everyone else.
" Hello Lucas, my name is Rias de Zenith Rosevelt and I am not some stranger for you to call me a lady, I am your mother's cousin that's why you should call me aunty." She said and offered me the backside of her hand but even though I knew what she was asking I was shocked for a few seconds but finally accepting her hand and kissed it.
" Thank you aunt Rias " I replied according to noble and royal etiquettes of this world when a noble woman gave you her hand in such format means she respects and values your presence but accepting or not is upto you and the same can be done by men's of nobility by asking the opposite woman her hand.
When me and my mother sat opposite to her while the two maids were preparing tea she asked," from your earlier shocked expression I can guess you have heard about Rosevelts and if you do, can you tell me what do you know about them ?"
I was taken aback but when I saw the curious gaze of this woman I spoke," Yes, according to the books I read Roosevelt house is one of the biggest house with many branch families and the heads of that house have always been one of the three Grand Dukes of the Imperial Empire: lustheria."
Actually I know way more than that, the Imperial Empire of lustheria is one of the first empires which was able to stand after the ' apocalypse ' in this world zula.
And the Grand duchy of the Rosevelt household is one of the three gaurdians of this empire, they are said to use the fire as their main attribute or according to the system, trait.
But the unique thing of this household is that from the day this household has been created the head of the household, that is Grand Duke has always been a woman and that's why it is said that they are the rightful owner of the title Grand Duchess and just like that they have various branch families as nobilities like aunt Rias's Zenith house.
" Hmm, it seems like you haven't told him anything." Rias said to my mother after hearing my answer.
" I- I was going to tell him today." I swear, in my whole five years I haven't seen my mother as nervous to the point of stuttering, it shocked me to see this powerful and somewhat barbaric to the point I just dazed at my mother with my mouth slightly open.
" It's fine Lucas, even though I can guess why you are shocked, this won't seem much after you hear what your mother has done in past five years for you." It somehow annoyed me what Rias was saying, as if blaming me for my mother's behaviour and assumed hardships, that I unconsciously leaked my cosmic energy in the form of mana while my eyes glaring at her with killing intent, I asked:
" What do you mean by that ? " I asked in anger.
' Brat, at least listen to her explanation.' Uriel said calming me down.
" Hmmm, interesting did you teach him that ?" Rias asked to my mother while completely ignoring my killing intent.
" No this is new even for me... Where did you learn this, Lucas ?" My mother asked me while furrowing her brows and keeping her hands on both of my shoulders.
" What?" I asked in a confused tone.
" The killing intent you used with your mana." She persisted.
" Oh that, I learnt how to release small amount of mana but today I it unconsciously came out." I said as if it was the most common thing.
" Hahahaha..., What you did my dear nephew is not something anyone can do, even with a job and a high killing experience can barely do what you did just now." She said in a tone and behaviour like she was saying to my mother ' if he is your son than I guess it's not a surprise.'
' Uriel ' I said and as if expecting my question she immediately said:
' Of course, this is not normal even though you can do doesn't mean that all the kids your current physical age can do.' she only said this much but I understand her meaning.
First, I haven't met a single person my physical age but I didn't really care about it because of my mental age and my mother's overprotectiveness. Second, I have only dedicated every day from the day I was born to understand this world and training that I didn't pay attention to common sense.
" Haah, thank God you are only five if you were like this after ten years, I can't even imagine what would have happen." She sighed.
" Don't worry I will have taken care of him even after his childhood tenure." My mother said puffing her chest out.
BOING!!
" You shut up and stop flaunting your breast in front of me."
" I didn't"
" That's what annoys me the most, that they catch attention even when you don't want to." Rias muttered under her breath.
Please support me with Comments and suggestions
" haah, whatever now shall we get to the main and important topic." Aunt Rias said trying to avoid the topic." Hm, let's do it" said my mother thinking what was the they were arguing." Alright now let me start explaining" Rias said looking at me with a firm and serious voice, my mother, Julia and Lily took in deep breaths as if preparing themselves, my mother looked at me as if someone is going to take me away from her and she won't be able to stop me but after a few seconds she turned away and looked at Rias with firm voice." Go on" she said with a firm voice but it seemed like she was holding back her tears." Hm, Lucas this is something which is important just not because your mother hide it from you but also because this is going to led you to anything but a normal path " she said." Don't worry, no matter which path trouble is going to follow me anyway. Pain, suffering and futility is something I have been preparing myself from the day I un
After our little chat, we finally decided that it's time I get a job and for that my aunt casted a spe...' Wait, a spell!!' I inwardly yelped."...Mom, why do you have to cast a spell when we are going to do the ritual for my job ?" I asked." I know what you are thinking but we have to cast a protection array spell. After all, it is not always that we do a ritual to the 'heir to the throne of darkness' " aunt Rias said, which annoyed me a little as if she was referring me to a exotic creature." Don't worry young master Lucas, just like your mother who is overreactive, lady Rias is too honest to the point that their is a rumour which is- "" th- thats enough!!"" And who are you calling overreactive Julia?"" Nobody viscountess"after this little quarrel a huge magic circle was floating in the middle of the room, while all the furniture simply disappeared.' I can't wait to get my first job after seeing this.' I thought with
" Ah, my head hurts " Lucas said after waking up with a frown.He was in his room, while everyone are in the hall of the mansion so that he can rest.After Lucas lost his consciousness his family brought him to his room after checking that he has just lost consciousness because of exhaustion.' Congratulations on surviving boy.' Uriel said.' oh, so I survived.' I said in a calm and indifferent tone.' humph, you should be happy, you know.' said Uriel with a annoyed tone.' Well, for someone who is indifferent even to death, surviving is just a additional perk, I will be happy if you tell me my rewards though, my sweet Uriel.' If someone heard their conversation they will think that Lucas is buttering Uriel, if they didn't see the smirk on his face.'Y-you-' she was going to say something but Lucas cut her short.' Alright, let's check the system and see if your so-called benefits can make me happy.' he said with a calm t
Even though after Uriel's explanation Lucas understand a lot of things their were still many unanswered questions but...' Let's take a short summary of everything, according to Uriel, to balance the two dominant traits, she gave the trait of light as a permanent physical, with a stigma which only needs me sending my energy to activate it. While giving the dark trait the complete domination over my spiritual body, now unlike physical body, spiritual body according to Uriel is made up of soul, will and energy. Every job using person have the three energies stored within their spiritual body and this is something which happens automatically because unlike spiritual body is like a hole dugged within the ground which can be made deeper or wider by digging in the same hole by practice, training or other means but unlike this physical body is closed tank if you will keep filling in, it will burst if you are unable to know it's limits and unlike a ground hole, you will have to rebui
So, Did we asses most of the things ?' Lucas asked.' Yes, what was needed to be explained, has been explained.' Uriel said going back to her soothing tone.Usually, whenever Uriel and I talk about something related to my powers or system, Uriel talks in the tone of a mad scientist who want to brag about his invention but I have gotten used to it, I mean who will not get used to it after five years.' lets go now, I don't know how are they able to keep my mother for so long without a single yell.' I said with a smile, After all its really hard to keep athanasia away from Lucas when she is in home, she has stopped taking bath with him just a couple of months ago because his unwillingness.I got up from my bed and checked my clothes, they have changed me into casual white noble t-shirt and knee length black shorts, just to be sure about my eyes I decided to look into mirror one more time and I sighed,' I don't know what mother will do after seei
Lucas, who is this person ? This person is a indifferent person who don't care about anything as long as it doesn't interest to him. He haven't been like this just after his Reincarnation but even before when he used to live as normal child on a distant planet called earth.Even in that world he was from a renowned family just not in his country but the whole world. Even then, he was talented and gifted but because of his regrets, he left that family and started living a normal life doing a 9-5 job, or so he thought but in his death moments from his brother he understood one thing. he didn't left his luxurious life because of his regrets, they were just reasons.The real reason is his INDIFFERENCE. He didn't care about money and prosperity, as long as he didn't find something interesting, even the whole world is destroyed or his own death, were too little in his eyes. In short– HE IS CRAZY TO RIDICULOUS POINT !!!That's why even this so-called imperial fam
After, the big day of my job ritual. Aunt Rias went back to her territory, while my mother along with few maids decided to give me magic training.In the Zechs household, their are no men's and the reason is my sweet mother, according to Julia before my mother's engagement flocks of mens used to do everything and anything just to say niceties to her, their were a few who just wanted to establish a connection or praise her for rewards. Most of them just wanted to get between her legs and after my so-called father got remarried she simply lost trust in men.That's why, most of her subordinates were ladies and even in them alot of them were slaves. That means they were from different races. Julia as I said before is a half- ogre, usually except for human, elves, dwarves and beast folks every other race is referred as forgotten races because the four dominant races mentioned above don't accept them as a race because of their secretive nature and their offensive tende
" So, can you explain me Tiers of spells and magic ?" My mother asked." Different divisions, are something which isn't included in the world's law because they are something we people created for competition and different use of the same type of energy. Mana has tiers, Dao has realms and Qi has forms. Magic tiers and spell tiers of mana energy is divided from tier 1 to tier 9.Magic tiers divides people according to how much mana they can store in their body along with how much purer the mana will be from the tier 1 being the lowest and tier 9 being the highest in ranking. Magic tiers divides people like if a tier 1 can use a skill for 10 seconds, tier 2 will be able use the same skill for 20 seconds as their mana quantity increase, sometimes the same skill can also be more destructive depending on purity of mana." I continued." Spells are something we humans created for the better use of Mana without depending on the World's Law. Spells are also divided in 9
