The moment Lucas returned to his home he told his parents about the danger and asked them to be prepared just in case and to not tell about it to anyone until something happened.

They were confused at the sudden words of their son but they trusted him as he went to his room and to the secret room where he started to go through the grimoires he has as he looked at the spells in the book as he narrowed his eyes.

'That attack would've finished me if it had hit and the more problematic thing is that I don't even know if that mage is able to do more or not. What if he was only testing me? I don't have any information to draw any conclusions on this.' Lucas thought to himself as he frowned at the lack of information.

He hoped that his boys were cautious, though he had given them training and taught them to be always cautious, they were still only human and they might relax while out on the patrol.

'It would be ideal to have Aslaug with me as she would be able to warn me about it and she is capable enough to be able to dodge or withstand the attack if she tries.' Lucas thought to himself as he thought about the demigoddess.

Lucas then decided to focus on the spells as he started to learn them. Because he has a habit of reading, he is able to go through the spells quite quickly as he memorizes them one by one. And the fact that he could die from the battle is a good incentive to keep his focus on getting stronger and more knowledgeable on magic.

'Faster, I have to learn them faster. Since I had already done the lower class spells, I have a much easier time to understand these spells, but I have to do it faster.' lucas thought to himself as he kept on learning more spells.

At this time, Aslaug and Kriemhild were in the former's home as the two were training with their swords separately. Aslaug didn't want to fight with Kriemhild since she deemed her as being too weak to battle. And Kriemhild didn't want to fight Aslaug because she knew that she wasn't as strong as the demigoddess.

"Do you think Lord Lucas' plan will work?" Kriemhild asked the demigoddess as she stopped with training for the moment.

"I do not know. Since this is a powerful mage we are dealing with, he doesn't have much to create a plan on due to the lack of information." Aslaug said to her as she stopped swinging her sword and looked at it as she frowned.

"But you are the central part of the plan though." Kriemhild said to her as she looked at the demigoddess.

"Yes, but that is because I have the utmost chance at the completion of the plan. That doesn't make it a guarantee that we will win. And I can't let him die as well." Aslaug said to her as she gripped her sword.

"Why?" Kriemhild asked in surprise at her words.

'I thought she disliked him, but I guess she does care about him after all.' Kriemhild thought to herself as she smiled slightly at the demigoddess.

"Because I still have to defeat him. I will not let him die before I have gotten my dignity and pride back." Aslaug said with gritted teeth as she looked at her blade with a glare.

'Actually, that makes more sense.' Kriemhild thought to herself as she looked at the girl as she sweat dropped.

But Kriemhild herself was quite nervous regarding the situation as they have no idea about the situation regarding her former kingdom, if she were to be honest. She just hoped that she would be able to survive the coming battle ahead.

'I must train more to make sure that I can be of use to Lord Lucas. That way, he is sure to guarantee my safety more.' Kriemhild thought to herself as she didn't want to die yet.

And so the two warrior women kept on with their training, their own goals in their minds as they sought to get stronger for the danger that Lucas had warned them about.

At the royal palace, Olivia was preparing herself in her room as she wanted to be ready in case of an attack. Even though her kingdom had won the war, the way that Prince Eric was acting during the negotiations didn't sit well with her and she had briefly wondered if he would retaliate in anger.

And now it seems like her fears were true as danger is about to befall them. Whether it is actually Eric's fault is a secondary concern for her, as she has a good idea that he will be participating in anything that would let him get his revenge against her kingdom and Lucas for the loss of the war.

She just hoped that she and her father would be able to fend it off with their army. If even their court mage was unable to see the kingdom, then how powerful would this new mysterious mage be for them to prevent them from spying on the nation.

Olivia shuddered at the thought as she knew that it won't be a good sight if such a powerful mage is allying themselves with their enemy kingdom. Her father had told her that he and the court mage have a plan in place for when this happens and her own teacher will also be present with them to ensure that they are fully prepared for this new crisis or surprise attack that their enemy is planning.

'I just hope that this will be enough.' Olivia thought to herself as she looked at the sky seriously at the thought of the danger.

As these things were going on, the mage that was responsible for all these troubles was watching it all happen while in the sky as he smiled at what is happening in these places.

"Everything is going according to my plans. Now then, Lucas Larsen, will you survive this test of mine and prove your mettle, or will you die from this? It will be entertaining to see." The man said with a smile as he is quite eager to see how things will happen.

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.

    '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

    "I would say the same but unfortunately I don't know your name but it's nice to meet to meet you too." Lucas said as he bowed as well.He saw the finger of the boy twitching when he said he didn't know him. He also saw the boy had a irritated face when he heard him."Oh, then let me introduce myself. I am Oskar Rehbindr, the heir to the house of Rehbindr which holds the rank of duke like yours." The now introduced Oskar said to him."Good to know." Lucas nonchalantly said as he took a sip of his wine.Oskar grit his teeth in response to his nonchalant answer.'Why the hell is he talking so nonchalantly?! My house is the same rank as him and he acts like I'm some normal person! I'm the heir to the noble house of Rehbindr! Is he looking down on me!?' Oskar thought to himself with growing anger.Oskar looked at Lucas who was calmly observing his surroundings while eating a few grapes. While this would've caused other people to leave him, for someone like Oskar it was as if he was disresp

    The man in front of him is Alvis Johansen, a merchant who has trade connections in both the countries of Norway and Sweden. Lucas had a chance encounter with the man as said merchant was going through the forest for securing a deal. Unfortunately for the merchant he was ambushed by bandits but fortunately for Lucas he was in the area going through his training when it happened.He saved the man and defeated the bandits and the merchant in response was quite pleased with him. After that the two of them would see each other from time to time as the merchant had taken quite a liking to Lucas due to him saving his life and him being much different than the other nobles.While Alvis was a good businessman he isn't treated that greatly by the other nobles due to him not being from a noble family in the country. Due to this he had taken quite a liking to Lucas due to him treating him like any other person. He liked him even more when he saw Lucas' potential in the business department.Lucas

    Lucas then read the letter again carefully before he burned both the envelope and letter with magical fire to ensure no one knows about it. He then sat on his couch as he thought about all the information he had gotten. Though it wasn't much he was someone who believed that knowledge is power and is needed if one needs victory.'If what I know about both kingdom's is true then it will not be much time before they go to war with eachother. There's going to be many casualties in the war and maybe some of the members of the noble families might perish at the war. If that happens then I might be able to use that chance to increase the strength of my own clan.' Lucas thought to himself.Then he thought about the tension between the two kingdoms about the piece of land which both are debating for. That particular information stuck in his mind.'Wait, if both the kingdoms are focusing on that particular land then doesn't that mean the other territories aren't under that tight supervision. If

    Both heirs looked at eachother. Lucas with a neutral look while Oskar had an arrogant grin. Their armors were quite different as well. Oskar was wearing armour that showed his noble heritage and made him look good. Lucas meanwhile had worn plain armor over chainmail. Lucas had a longsword while Oskar had on his hip a decorated longsword.The nobles started to mutter amongst themselves when they saw the way the two heirs dressed. Many complimented Oskar for his great looking armor which showed his noble blood. But the nobles were staring and muttering disapprovingly at Lucas's choice of armor as it was very plain and made him look like any normal soldier."Why is he wearing armour like that?" "He should wear something more fitting of his status.""He looks more like a commoner than a noble." Those were the kind of chatter that was going around the nobles. As for the royal family, they were mostly curious about Lucas's choice of armor as nobles usually wore more extravagant armor. Osk

    Both fighters drew their blades and got into stances. Though it was easy to know that the stance used by Lucas was much more stable and better than the one used by Oscar by those who were well versed in the art of combat like Lucas's teacher Gustav and the princess Olivia.'His stance is actually good.' Olivia thought to herself.Lucas narrowed his eyes as he looked at the sword which was covered in an aura indicating that it was enchanted as well. Oskar then went with an overhead slash at Lucas which had it's speed increased by his armor. But for Lucas who had trained consistently with his master the attack wasn't that impressive.Lucas merely sidestepped as the sword went harmless down his left side. Oskar was surprised while Lucas was looking at him with the same impassive face. Oskar was a bit ticked off at the lack of reaction from the heir to his attack as he went for a horizontal slash which Lucas blocked with his sword and used his hand guard to stop it as he had the same impa

    "As if! I'm not gonna yield!" Oskar shouted as he went to attack Oscar with his fists.Lucas only sighed in response as he used the broad side of his blade and smacked Oskar's across the face with it. This sending the heir tumbling to Lucas's left as he lost his balance while Lucas openly scoffed. Olivia meanwhile was grinning at seeing a cheeky nobleman being put in his place.Oskar coughed a bit and started to get up when he heard the clanking of boots as he turned and looked at Lucas who was walking towards him."Just give up you are embarassing yourself." Lucas said in a tired tone.But Oskar wasn't having none of it. He was brought up as a member of the high class of the current society and was told that he was special and that was how his life had been. But now facing the humiliation of defeat in front of all these people was making him more angry as he lunged at Lucas with a roar.Lucas sighed and letting go of his sword he moved out of the way and then using his hand tore the

    Lucas has wanted to return to his own territory after telling the royals about the warning, but Olivia wanted to talk with him after that so he decided to forego that plan for the moment as he has to follow the wishes of the princess above all as a member of the nobility after all. "Why did you wish to talk with me princess?" Lucas asked her respectfully. "I was curious about your plan to combat this new threat. I'm sure that you would've already come up with a plan of action after learning about the danger." Olivia said as she looked at him. "Yes, I suppose you are right. Though it isn't a real plan as much as it is just something that I came up with on the spot." Lucas said as he shook his head from side to side. "I see. I guess you want to go back and get your territory ready?" Olivia said as she smiled at him. "Yes, I still haven't told my parents about it yet since I wanted to inform you immediately." Lucas said to her seriously. "Then I shall not delay you any further, as

    Lucas said in the room as he waited for the princess to come back as he ate some of the snacks there as he waited patiently. It was only after a few minutes did the princess return to the room as she smiled at him. "Please follow me, my father and mother wish to speak with you." Olivia said to him as he nodded and stood up. He followed her out of the room as they went towards the throne room. As they walked Olivia was slightly slower than him as she looked at him walk as she wanted to see him more as her interest in him was already high after all that she had been able to see about him. They soon reached the throne room as the soldiers opened the door and they entered. Lucas stood a few feet away from the king and queen who were sitting on their respective thrones. Olivia went forward and sat on her own throne as Lucas saw that only the royal guards and the court mage were present with them. "You majesties." Lucas said respectfully as he gave them a bow.

    Lucas sat on the back of Falkor as he made his way to the royal castle, it would've taken more time but he knew the importance of this so he made his wyvern fly quickly. Most of the people had already seen his wyvern and since there weren't any others in sight, they wouldn't attack him. But he didn't want to raise the alarm so he made sure that they were flying near the ground to make the guards know that he is coming. And as he had hoped they didn't attack him, as most of the guards had recognised his wyvern as even if not all of the guards had come to fight in the war, there were still those who recognised him and his ride. They reached the gates and Falkor landed carefully as he scratched his neck as the wyvern growled in response, happy at the scratching he received. "I am Lucas Larsen of the Larsen family and I wish to speak with the princess, it's important. I didn't have the time to send a letter prior." Lucas said to the guards stationed at the front of the gates seriou

    Alpha watched the border of the two kingdoms with the rest of his group. After Lucas had given them the order to observe the border and make sure that none of the enemy soldiers or anything else would cross into the kingdom. All of them had split up to make sure that they had covered all the area. For the time being, he hasn't seen any unusual activity from the other kingdom which put his mind at ease for the moment as it meant that the danger that his master has thought of hasn't happened yet. He trusts his master and knows that if he has said that a danger is coming, then it will be coming. But for the master to not know what the danger is means that the problem is something that might be hazardous to them all. He is sure that they are very powerful, but he also doesn't want to be too arrogant about it as he knows that it might lead to his death. It was one of the first things that was taught by their master to them when he was teaching them about fighting. Thinking that th

    Lucas sat in Aslaug's home as he was being watched by Aslaug and Kriemhild as they looked at each other, not knowing what to make of the situation in front of them as he had a troubled look on his face. "So, why are you here?" Aslaug asked him as she was curious. "A spell that I had used to warn me about danger activated and I don't know what the danger is." Lucas said to them as he looked at the two women. "Wait, what kind of spell is that?" Kriemhild asked in surprise at hearing that. "That is a spell that I had discovered in the past, but for it to be activated means that it is going to be very dangerous. Not to mention, the chance of me dying is also high." Lucas said causing the two to look at him in surprise. "Truly?" Kriemhild asked in surprise, an emotion which was also mirrored by Aslaug. "Yes, this particular spell I used will warn me about great dangers and when I am going to be in a situation where I could lose my life." Lucas said to them as he reclined on his

    Eske frowned as he sat on his throne as the last defeat of their kingdom against their enemy country of Norway. He had thought that they would have been able to beat the kingdom with the dragons that they have with them, and considering the fact that he has his own court mage, he was fairly certain that they would have been able to defeat the army. But the sudden arrival of that boy and his help in the war changed the tides causing them to lose the war and the two dragons. He was obviously displeased with what had happened as he had just lost to their enemies which will be a blow to the pride of his family. But he is also a bit relieved as they have managed to come to an agreement which isn't too exploitive. The fact that the contract was good enough to allow for them to maintain their rule was a good thing, even if they have to give the other kingdom money monthly and also have to give up the rights of the crystal cave as well. There was also the fact that it took a lot of thei

    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

    "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.
