Lucas left the throne room and met with his parents and then went on his their way to their home. His parents asked her about what the king wanted to discuss with him and he told them about how the king wanted to promote their rank in the hierarchy.
"That's wonderful news." Agnes said with a smile when she heard that. "Indeed. With the goodwill of the king, our clan will be more powerful and influential as well." Leif said with a smile on his face. "I know father. With this our clan will also gain more power and prominence amongst the nobility after all." Lucas said to him with a smile on his face. "Yes, and I will be able to commence some of my own plans if that happens." Leif said with a thoughtful look. "What plans?" Lucas asked him curiously. "To increase the comfortable living conditions for the people in our territory. If the people are happy with how their life is, then they will also support us as well. The commoners already like you my son, and if we were to help them further then we will also have their loyalty." Leif said to him with a smile on his face. "That is a good plan. They will be able to live more comfortably while we also gain their loyalty. It is a well thought out father." Lucas said to his father with a smile. "Yes. And I also plan on making sure that the criminals in our territory will also be decreased. I do not hold the illusion that we can take care of all of them, but if we do it correctly then we can have more order in our territory. And if we do get to rise in our rank then it will give us more authority for it as well." Leif said to him with a smile as he thought about it. "Now now, we are travelling back home now. You can talk about your plans after we get back home." Agnes said to her husband and son with a smile. 'Lucas has really taken after him. Perhaps it's time we had a daughter. Well, I do hope I can get a daughter' Agnes thought to herself as she looked at her son. Leif felt his wife's gaze and looked at her questioningly, but she just smiled towards him as he looked at her for a few seconds and smiled at her before he wrapped his arm around her and pulled her towards him. Lucas meanwhile decided to look out the window as he didn't want to see his parents lovey dovey time since it feels weird for him. As he was looking he saw one of his boys on top of a building, hidden from view as he looked at his carriage. 'He is tailing me huh. While I'm not surprised about it, why is he so close?' Lucas thought to himself as he looked at the boy. Lucas kept on looking outside as they reached his home. He disembarked from the carriage and went to his room after telling his parents. He also made sure to pet and scratch Falkor before he went inside though, he doesn't want the wyvern to think that he is neglecting him. After that he went to his room and then opened the window and sat on the chair as one of his guys came inside. "Lord Lucas." The guy said as he kneeled in front of him. "Who was the one tailing me Gamma?" Lucas asked the man in front of him. "It was Delta my lord." Gamma said to him as he kept on bowing. "I figured as well. Tell Delta to come here and meet me." Lucas said to him as Gamma nodded. "Of course, I'll tell him immediately." Gamma said as he went out of the window. Lucas waited for a few seconds before another one walked in through the window. The one standing in front of him is a 14 year old boy dressed in the same garbs as the rest of his brethren who work under Lucas. "Delta. May I ask why you were so close when you were spying on my carriage. I had taught you to keep more distance did I?" Lucas asked him as he looked at him with an inquiring look. "I'm sorry Lord Lucas, I just wanted to make sure that you would be able to travel safely and wanted to keep a close eye on the road so that you won't have to do anything to protect yourself." Delta said to him in a respectful tone. "Since nothing happened I will look past this mistake of yours. But you must know that I am also very powerful so you best make sure to follow my teachings next time you think about spying on me.." Lucas said to him seriously. "Yes Lord Lucas, I will." Delta said with a bow. "Remove your hood." Lucas said to him as he did as told. A lock of blonde hair is shown, alongside light green eyes and fair skin and a handsome face. When Lucas had first round him, half of his face was deformed, due to the beating he got from his abusive father before said man died. Lucas had fixed his face using magic when he found him. And Delta himself is quite on the short side and isn't much buffed or muscular, but he has a good control over his own magic power which helps him compensate for his lack of physical power. It was something that Lucas had noted when he first found out about it. The boy has a natural talent for control of magical power, so he is able to use his own magical power more effectively in giving himself more strength. And he naturally possesses a high amount of magical power as well. Delta looked at him as Lucas smiled and rubbed his head. It was something he would do to him when he was smaller, but the boy didn't seem to want to get out of the habit and Lucas didn't seem to find anything wrong about it so he would pet the guy from time to time. "Make sure to take care of yourself and the others." Lucas said to him with a smile. "I will, my lord. I am happy that you care so much for us. I will not fail you." Delta said to him before he put back the hood and left out the window. Lucas smiled at that and then went and closed the window before going to sit on the couch as he looked thoughtful. 'Now that the king himself has said that my clan's rank will be elevated, then I will have more power as well. If that happens then I can do my operations more easily as well.' Lucas thought to himself as he thought about what he should do. While he was thinking that, Delta, who had left the mansion of the Larsen clan landed on one of the roofs of the houses there as he sat there and sighed to himself. He touched his head where Lucas had pet him as he blushed at the memory. 'Lord Lucas petted me today. It felt so good.' Delta thought to himself with a smile and a blush.Lucas slashed the air in front of him with his sword as a wind blade was generated due to the force in which he had swung his weapon. Aslaug in retaliation also swung her sword and created a wind blade which collided with his own as the two destroyed each other. The girl then dashed towards him and traded quick and powerful blows with him as she used her slimmer and more flexible body to attack him while Lucas himself also used his strength to his advantage and used powerful strikes to stagger her back and block her attacks. The bodies of men and women are quite difficult, with men having an advantage in muscular strength and endurance, while women have an advantage in flexibility and speed due to how their bodies are made. Of course, should a person train hard enough then they will be able to bridge the gap between the two genders, but the base strength of both sexes would most likely be the same. Though it also depends on how the person chooses to live as well. Of course, as a d
Lucas read the book in his hand as he drank some tea in his mansion. After the spar with Aslaug, he thought that this is a good moment to relax for a bit. Which is why Aslaug and Kriemhild are also relaxing with him at the garden of his mansion, surrounded by the shrubbery of the family. He is quite proud of the garden that they have as it is very beautiful to look at and gives a serene aura to the mansion which he is happy about, as he can feel at least in them. Though that doesn't mean that he is about to let down his guard, that's a fool's way of thinking, even if he is in his mansion, he isn't about to let his guard down. Something that Aslaug and Kriemhild knows as they are also on guard, a sentiment he appreciates from them. "So, just how strong are you? You can break the ground with your strength, move faster than most men, and can also use a rare form of magic as well. Just how did you achieve such strength?" Kriemhild asked him as she looked at him curiously. She had
Eric threw the glass of alcohol across the room as it shattered after hitting the wall as the four maids who were serving him flinched from the violent action as they looked at him with slight fear. But the prince himself didn't care about their reactions as he had a pissed off expression as he glared at the wall. "My reputation has been tarnished and that damned boy is hailed as a hero!" Eric shouted in anger as the maids flinched again from his loud voice. After the end of the war, Eric's reputation in the kingdom had plummeted, no surprise that it has happened of course, as it was him who had decided to start the war with the other country. And their country has lost the war and was humiliated and lost two dragons under their control. And have also been shown to be inferior to their enemy, which has hurt the sentiments of many of the country as well. The other noble families of the kingdom were also of the same mind as they didn't like the fact that they had been defeated,
"Now that's a good boy." Lucas said as he was petting Falkor. He is currently flying with the wyvern as he wanted to make sure that he had the ability to fly freely without anyone being afraid of it attacking. Even if he is his wyvern, the people will naturally be scared about a creature of its size. But he didn't mind it that much as he enjoyed flying with Falkor, as it was a way for him to be alone from his otherwise noble life. It is good, he will admit and having people around him and treating him with respect is a good thing, but sometimes he just wants to be left alone to enjoy some time alone. He looked at the kingdom from above and it was a bit cloudy so the people probably hadn't noticed them. Not to mention the fact that people don't usually look up so it would work in his favour. He has also been having his boys keep a watch around the kingdom for any kind of suspicious movement. Considering how the prince has acted, he doesn't want to let down his guard in case the
"My Lord, is this truly the right course of action." A soldier asked Eric as the group of soldiers were walking through a cave tunnel. "Yes. This is the way to get back the respect that I had lost because of our enemies." Eric said to him with a glare at the soldiers. The soldier's flinched at his glare as they knew that they couldn't and shouldn't do anything that might anger him. After all, as the prince of their kingdom, he can do anything he wants to them as he so wished. So doing anything to displease him as it might be dangerous to them. They also don't know what it is that their prince wants to find for himself in the cave, but as soldiers it is their duty to follow his orders and so that is what they are doing. The soldier at the front of the group held his torch as he walked forward followed by the rest of the group as he kept his gaze all around him to make sure that he wasn't taken by surprise by anything in the cave. They silently but methodically advanced into t
Lucas looked at the Alpha who is standing in front of him seriously as the man is looking at him a bit nervously while being looked at by Lucas very seriously. Lucas is the de facto leader of the boys and when he isn't leading them and giving them jobs then it's his duty to make sure that they work correctly. "So you got nothing unusual to report?" Lucas asked him seriously as he sat in his chair. "No sir. We did a check just as you had told us to, but we haven't found anything unusual happening inside the country. Even in the other noble families or around the royal palace." Alpha said to him seriously with a nod. Lucas narrowed his eyes at that as he reclined on the chair he is sitting on as he closed his eyes and thought about it. The runes are really useful and powerful ones which acts like it when a great danger to the user is afoot. Which is the reason why he had decided to use it on himself so that he will be able to know if there is going to be danger to him. So he is
In the land of Norway, in the territory of the noble house of Larsen, the sound of clashing weapons can be heard. The sound was coming from the training ground a few metres behind the mansion of the noble family. A boy who is 17 years old was currently having a duel with a man who seemed to be at least 40.The boy has jet black hair and grey eye's. A fair complexion and a slim build. He also has a handsome face. He only wore a white shirt and black pants as he was sparing with the man. He had a sword in his hand as he was fighting with him. He was covered in sweat and dirt was also on his body and clothes as well.The man he was fighting had brown hair which was starting to grey at some points. He has auburn eyes and a moustache as well. A fair complexion and a body which is in the middle of slim and buff. He wore all black as he was also sweating from the spar he was having with the young man. He also had a sword in his hand as he was fighting with the boy.They then locked blades w
'It has been what, 12 no 13 years since I awoke in thei world in the body of Lucas. And I was about to graduate out of college as well. I was very confused when I awoke in this body but thankfully since I had already matured by that time I was able to adapt quickly. I quickly learned that I was in the 6th century in the country of Norway. I also came to know that I am the son of a duke and holds significant power in the kingdom. But that didn't mitigate the fact that I had now lost my previous life, all that hard-work I put in gone.' Lucas thought to himself as he sighed at the last part.He then went to the shelf with books and took one and traced along its spine.'I also learned that humans weren't the only race in this world and that magic also exists. But magic has now rarely been used by the people in this land and even though they believe in the Norse God's, they consider it a hassle since it takes a lot of time to learn magic. The machinations, the words, the letters, all of wh
