Theodore also looked at her carefully and then noticed that lucy was right Maria is at the same level as him. Jake looked at the women and said “Sister you sure she looks around the same age as you.” Lucy nodded and said “They both must belong to a big family we should not have a fight with them as you can see that even maids are Mages and both young master Noah and young Miss Ana are just standing at side I will try and solve this problem.”
Lucy moved forwards and said “Miss my name is Lucy Capbell, I am sorry about my brothers can you forgive them and let this matter be.”
Maria smiled seeing her “So Capbell family has people with brains as well, Oh! you are also a mage.” Lucy nodded so Maria continued “how old are you?”. Theodore was angry at the girl bad mouthing Capbell family but he stayed silent when remembering Maria level.
Lucy looked at her and answered “I am twenty-four.” Maria nodded and smiled at her “You are already a second star Elementary Mage.” Maria got up from her chair and walked towards her “Miss Lucy I am Twenty-Eight and as you expect I am already a Third Star Elementary Mage, as you asked politely I can let your brother who bad mouthed me be forgiven but the other one he will have to suffer a little.”
Everyone was terrified at hearing Maria words. As the north of the empire was known more for their knights so just becoming a First Star Elementary Mage was an accomplishment and Capbell house was the leading house of mages of the north but out of nowhere a genius has shown up already at the level of Viscount at the young age of less than thirty so this was a shock to all the people.
Lucy heard this and asked “Miss Please can you tell me what Henry has done for you to get this angry.” Maria answered without much change in expression “You are the eldest right” Lucy nodded but before she could say something Maria continued “so you should know when someone hits your younger sibling you cannot control yourself and Alton is my brother and my life so if anyone hit him I have to take revenge as an elder sister.”
Lucy looked at Henry with sharp and angry eyes so she asked “Miss if I am not wrong you both should belong to a noble family can you let me know the name. We will like to make a formal apology.” Maria smiled and looked at Alton and he nodded so Maria took out the family token and showed it to Lucy while saying “My name is Maria Von Teren and brother name is Alton Von Teren and Miss Lucy Capbell I hope we can be friends after this as I have just come here.”
Theodore, Henry, Jake and the guard mouth was completely open as they all were terrified that what they have done but the situation of the others were also not good as they were shocked as well because the Teren family was one of the most famous family in the Empire and all the people in the Empire grow up hearing the brave stories of Teren Family Ancestors.
Lucy looked at the token which had a falcon carved on It and sighed but she returned it to Maria with a smile “We are really sorry that we have offended you two so is there any way we can finish it.”
Maria thought for it a second and then answered “Miss Lucy as you are being so good and I also want to be your friend how about this that guard make him stand under my full pressure for a minute because he hit my brother and then we can call it quits.”
All the people were speechless because if a Third Star Elementary Mage use full power on the guard the best case will be being bedridden for at least a year. Lucy bit her lips because she knew that Maria was already giving her face and there was no other way for her solve this because the Capbell family was in wrong this time she looked towards her father who was also speechless.
At the same time a carriage stopped in front of the shop, a man came out of it and entered the café he had red hair with a well build body seeing the situation he was speechless as one person saw him he said “The Lord is here.”
Hearing this all the people bowed towards him with respect and stayed in the bow but Alton and Maria gave a bow and stood straight as Teren family was at the same rank so they just needed to greet him formally.
The man was Lucas and while looking at all the people he said in commanding tone “Straighten up.” He turned towards Noah and Ava “Come here and explain what happened.” Ava and Noah moved closer and told Lucas all that had happened.
Lucas passed a sharp look to Theodore before turning towards Maria and Alton said “I am really sorry Maria, Alton that this happened to you both on the first day here.”
Maria smiled and answered “No problem Count the problem was almost finished.” Lucas was shocked hearing this but then Maria turned towards Theodore and with a serious tone asked “So are you letting me do what I want or should the Teren family ask you officially.”
Lucas stayed silent because it was between them and if he took either side he was going to suffer. Theodore looked at the guard “Do it.” The guard face turned became pale when he reluctantly walked forward while thinking ‘I should not have given that idea to that idiot I dug my own grave.’
As the guard stopped a few distance from Maria unleashed her full pressure all the people were shocked because the guard was glued to the floor immediately. Lucas was also shocked this as he thought that Maria was a girl who didn’t take revenge but from the story explained by Noah and Ava he understood that anyone who hurt Alton will suffer like this.
Lucas said with a smile and in low voice which was only he could hear “Aldwin what monster have you adopted in your family.” The guard spitted blood out of his mouth after being in pressure for ten second so Alton moved closer to Maria and said “Sister let it go this much is enough.”
Maria immediately stopped and said “My brother said so I am leaving you alone next time be careful.” The guard just thanked her because he could not even move anymore. Maria turned towards Theodore “This incident is finished right.” Theodore nodded like a small boy and Lucas, Noah and Ana were about to laugh but controlled it and Maria looked at Lucy and said “Miss Lucy it was good meeting you how about you come to Teren house for tea in five days.”
Lucy was speechless but quickly pulled herself and with a smile on her face “It will be a pleasure.” Maria smiled while nodding and then left with count his family and Alton but before they left Lucas looked at Theodore “I will be expecting an explanation on this incident.”
Theodore nodded without realizing and thanking his daughter in his heart for stopping a big storm which was coming towards them.
As Alton and other reached the mansion Lucas once again apologized to Alton and Maria to which Maria replied “Count no need for you to apologize we have solved the problem now and I am sorry for making it hard for you.”
Lucas smiled towards Maria which shaking his head “NO NO you are my guests and my bestfriend children if something did happen to one of you, I don’t know what will happen but can you keep this from Aldwin.” Maria smiled and nodded while replying to Lucas “Of course. “
Lucas sighed of relief because if this got to Aldwin ear there will be some serious consequences for the Capbell family. As it was already the time for the dinner when they reached back so all of them went to the dining room and as they settled down Sophia also joined them.
When Sophia heard of the incident from Lucas her facial expression kept on changing and after listening through the whole incident Sophia apologized to Maria and Alton but they just replied that it was not because of them and the incident was already solved.
Sophia then said while looking at Lucas “The Capbell family is getting too full of themselves it is about time to remind them that they cannot do whatever they want.” Lucas nodded to this and while the six were chatting the maids served the dinner and while having dinner Alton thought of something which he had forgotten so he quickly finished the dinner and then said “I will be retiring for the day.”
[Kindly Read the Author Note] All of them nodded as they knew what he had gone through the day so they bid him goodnight and then he went back to the guest room. Entering the room he turned on the light and then sat down on the bed and said under his breath “System.”The next second a black screen appeared in front of his eyes so he looked at the status closelyName: Alton Von TerenAge: 15 yearsRace: HumanTerritory: TerenOccupation: NoneRank: NoneLevel: 02SP: 5Coins: 10Experience: 00 / 1000Health: 08 / 10Mana: 8/8Strength: 8Agility: 5Stamina: 3Vitality: 10Intelligence: 17Skills: NoneAlton was shocked to find that his health had dropped by two points which showed how weak he was that he was able to get hurt from just that much but he moved his eyes towards the bar at top of the window which at the start only contained Stat Page and Mission button but now there was another button named Inventory.Alton smiled and clicked on the inventory button and the page changed the
It was the coldest night of the year that day, and the clouds were covering the sky, the rain was falling, and the location was a barren land; aside from two people around fifty meters away from each other, no one was in sight. One of the men was on his knees and was half dead; the blood was coming out of the cuts on his body, and all of his clothes were red because of this. His eyes showed despair, and it looked like he had given up on everything.The man asked in a voice full of despair, "Why are you trying to kill me when I don't have anything, and I am not even a threat to anyone, so Why?"The other man was standing. "Don't blame yourself but your blood; if you were not the earl's son, you would not have to face this, Alton." The man was wearing a cape and mask to hide his identity."Who are you? Why are you doing this?" asked Alton."Well, it doesn't matter if you know who I am because you won't be able to tell anyone." Said the man and then took off his cape and mask and slowly

Alton then asked "Where are you?" The reply came directly to his brain "I am in your soul and only you can hear me and only you can see the screen."Alton's confused face changed hearing this, and he asked, " You can talk? how?""Yes host I can talk. the user doesn't have enough privilege for the inform
As food entered Alton's mouth, he could feel the texture and taste it brought and some bitter memories of his past life when he was left all alone, and he could not taste this food again.Alton started eating the food without looking up from the plate. Maria was shocked because the young master she remembered would always push the food back after taking a single bite and always bad-mouth the chef. Maria looked at Alton with questioning eyes, and she felt that something had changed, but she could not put her finger on it.Maria unconsciously mumbled in a low voice, "Something is changing."This sound caught Alton's attention, and he looked at her and asked, "Did you say anything?"Maria denied it by moving her head left and right. Alton looked at her for a second but started stuffing the food again. Alton finished his breakfast fast, and now he was full.After finishing the breakfast, Alton once again around the room and saw that the room had a single, double bed in the middle, a bathr
As Alton walked towards the earl's study, multiple maids and servants were doing their regular chores, and seeing him, they bowed, but that was just because he was the earl's son, not because they were respectful of him because Alton's current reputation was of a spoiled brat who was loved and cared by his parents.Alton looked at them and understood the looks of disdain and anger because the lord they all loved had such an unworthy son as his only child.Alton smiled but kept walking in silence, stopped in front of a window, and looked outside of the window. This territory's name is Teren; it belonged to the Alzonian Empire from the start Teren family ruled this land and helped in the making of the Alzonian Empire and were thus granted the title of Duke by the king of that time, but as the time progressed the Teren family met its demise and was thus relegated to the rank of Count.The head of the family is Aldwin Von Teren, and the current countess of the Aria Von Teren was Alton's p
Alton was sitting there waiting with his father in silence while Maria was bringing his mother here.When Alton entered his father's study, he was startledDingA sound startled him, and then a notification with a black screen showed up in front of him.[A Quest has started][Travel to the North of Alzonian Empire][Time Limit: 1 month][Reward: 50 XP, ten coins][Penalty: System Removal (Death)]Alton was shocked seeing this and started shouting in his mind; Alton then in his mind, 'System, can I talk to you this way.'A reply came, 'Yes, Host, the system is linked with your soul; you don't need to open your mouth to communicate with me.' Alton then shouted, 'What is this Quest?'A reply came 'Host Quests are created by the system for you to become powerful so kindly complete the request.'Alton said, 'But why do I have to travel to North?' The system replied, 'The Host doesn't have enough privilege for the information kindly level up.' The system went silent and didn't say anything
Seeing that his parents had agreed with him, he looked at them with a sad smile because he wanted to stay with them, but Alton knew that the system needed to be followed to keep them safe in future."I will be going back to my room if you need me just send the servant to call me" Alton got up and then headed to the door and exited the room.Maria gave Aldwin and Aria a slight bow and then followed Alton.As Alton left the room, Aldwin turned towards Aria and asked, "Why did you agree with him? I called you here to ask him to give up this madness, but you gave him the permission."Aria looked toward Aldwin with a smile; "Did you see his eyes?"Aldwin was speechless when Aria continued, "They had determination and hope in them which he did not have before; if I had not seen his eyes I will not have had agreed with him."Aldwin was speechless hearing this; "So you believe in his vision?"Aria nodded in denial while saying, "Not even one bit. I know he is hiding something, but after seein
Alton stayed in his room until the sunset, reading a book; when Alton heard a knock on the door, he straightened up and said, "Come In."A woman in her late twenties came in with long black hair reaching her waist with a beautiful face, entered the room and looked at Alton. "Young Master, it's time to head to the dining room for dinner.""Okay" Alton nodded, got up from his chair, and started heading towards the dining room. The dining room was on the ground floor, so Alton turned right and started walking toward the stairs. It was the Teren Family tradition to have dinner with the rest of the family, and once a month, all the sub-branches will be invited to the Teren Mansion for dinner.This time was just dinner with his family, so Alton was not tense as he walked into the room and saw that his mother and father were already sitting in their seats and looking at him with a smile.Teren returned a smile. "Good Evening, Mother and Father", Alton said while bowing a bit in respect.Aldw

Theodore also looked at her carefully and then noticed that lucy was right Maria is at the same level as him. Jake looked at the women and said “Sister you sure she looks around the same age as you.” Lucy nodded and said “They both must belong to a big family we should not have a fight with them as you can see that even maids are Mages and both young master Noah and young Miss Ana are just standing at side I will try and solve this problem.”Lucy moved forwards and said “Miss my name is Lucy Capbell, I am sorry about my brothers can you forgive them and let this matter be.”Maria smiled seeing her “So Capbell family has people with brains as well, Oh! you are also a mage.” Lucy nodded so Maria continued “how old are you?”.

Henry guard moved henry behind him and then Alton looked at his sister who was standing there with a angry face and ready to explode seeing this Alton said “Sister don’t kill them we don’t want to make things hard for Count.”Maria face turned into one with cute smile while saying “Anything for my little brother.” Finishing her words Maria expression turned back to angry one and she took two steps in front and moving her right hand in air she used the same trick which the guard had used but something was different the temperature of the room was decreasing at a fast rate. The guard made a shield appear but the pressure and coldness was so striking that it shattered in seconds and both the guard and Henry were brought to their knees while shivering with cold as part of their body was getting covered in ice.All the people now understand Ana and Alton’s words as Maria didn’t even have change in expression on her face this just showed how easy it was and this wasn’t even her full power.
The smile on Noah and Ana face disappeared as they saw this person, and this didn’t go unnoticed by Alton and Maria. The person started started walking towards their table and Ana replied to him in cold voice “The feeling is not mutual Mr Capell.” As Alton and Maria looked towards the voice, they saw a person around Noah age with an average body who was not fat but also not fit standing there with red hair and blue eyes.The person with a smile on his face said “Miss Ana you can call me Henry rather than by my family name aren’t our families close to each other” Ana stayed silent not saying anything else, not receiving any answer the man looked at the Alton and Maria and asked in a commanding tone “Who might you two be I have not seen you here.”Alton and Maria stayed silent so this got on his nerves so he asked again “I am asking who you might be you are not from any noble family around here so shouldn’t you greet a viscount son after seeing him.” Noah and Ana didn’t jump in remember

As they were eating Noah asked a question “Alton as you belong to the Teren Family what level of mage are you as you are quite weak to be a Knight.” Hearing the question Lucas and Sophia both glared at him but Lucas remembered that he had told them about Maria but forgot about Alton, Noah understood that he had asked something he shouldn’t have but he didn’t know the reason. Lucas immediately said “Sorry Alton...” but before Lucas could finish Alton moved his head left and right and answered, “No problem Count I know Brother Lucas didn’t know about it.” Alton looked at Noah with a confident look and answered “Brother Lucas I am none I am neither a Knight nor a mage right now. I was born with a body that was unable to cultivate” Lucas heard Alton and was shocked that he was talking with confidence and also at last he said right now. “Sorry Alton I didn’t know about this,” said Noah in apologizing tone but Alton answered “No need to be sorry. So Brother Noah at which level you are?”
As Alton and Maria exited the carriage they saw three people standing in front of the main door two male and one female. One man was wearing a suit and he was the butler of the Troy family, the other male is a Red-haired man with a muscular body and an aura that said that this man was a powerful man and he has gone through hardships his name is Lucas Von Troy the current Count and head of Troy family, the women next to him had beautiful blond hair, green eyes which looked to be like jewels with a perfect figure and she looked to be around the same age as Aria and she was Sophia Von Troy the current Countess and wife of current head.As Alton and Maria walked towards them followed by Veronica and Cecilia they were greeted by Lucas “Welcome to Troy I hope the journey was good.”Altona showed respect to Lucas and Sophia by bowing a little and then standing straight which were Empire customs, Maria also bowed while moving her skirt a little up and then immediately down according to the Em
Veronica and Cecilia didn’t understand so Alton seeing their questioning expression decided to explain in simpler terms “Do you both want to stay as maids the whole life or become something better.”Both girls understood what Alton was saying and then Veronica said “We want to change our destiny Young Master we want to be someone who Young Miss can call as her friend in front of everyone.” Alton smiled and then said, “Then become at least a 5th Star Elementary Mage so you can be awarded baron rank.”The girls were shocked but then Cecilia said “Young Master it’s not that easy we need to create a mana core before we can even be called 1st Star Elementary Mage and we don’t have as much talent as Young Miss so it would take minimum half a year more until we become Mages with our talent and resources.” Alton answered, “I know how about I invest in you both.” Veronica then asked “Young Master what is it that you want in return” even Cecilia and Maria were looking forward to Alton’s answer.
Maria then asked, “So how did you come back to the past?” Veronica and Cecilia's ears stood because they were curious about this as well, Alton's face expression turned into a sad one and then he answered: “As you all have been in Teren Territory you all must have heard about the dragon tear and its wish right.” Maria, Veronica, and Cecilia nodded because this story was known by all the people in the Empire.The story was that the first head of the Teren family who helped in making the Empire had fought a dragon in the mountains and had almost won against it but he let the dragon go and before leaving the dragon gave him a tear which came out of its eye because it was happy and said that this tear will grand you or your kin one wish when needed.Alton looked at three of them “I wished and that is how I came back in the past.” Maria felt something was not right and then asked “but why will you come back in time and not wish for anything else could it be” before Maria could complete her
