Chapter 7 - chapter 6

what did you say, colo what

Petro was struck at his place, he was now remembering memories that were not of his own.

"What am I seeing, how can that iron bird can fly? how could there be two world wars, cant people learn, the moon isn't made out of cheese? wait do commoners have rights?"

Petro had to kneel on the ground, the share amount of information filling his brain was tearing it apart.

hey are you ok Petro

Mr Floare ran towards him, after reaching him he grabbed his shoulder and helped him get up.

what happened

a shocked Bianca who witnessed him fall, rushed toward him

are you ok Petro, our ceremony is close please don't die on me.

I'm not dying

he got up while holding his forehead with the palm of his hand.

Mr Floare I think we are about to witness the birth of a new era.

what are you babbling about do you have a fever. or something

let me check, Binaca attached her forehead to his

what are you doing in front of your father you dolt, too close we are not married yet.

but we have been closer before.

closer you say, my little angle. hehe

petro whispered in Binaca's ear

now you've done it, you know how much he adores you, there he goes into depress mode

Petro, how close are we talking about

about our bodies touchi...

noting but kisses, I promise you Mr Floare I have not defiled your daughter

you mean what you did to me was defiling me you're so mean

at that moment he was in a pinch admit that he had committed indecent acts with the daughter of a powerful man or to hurt her fiance's soul he chose to hurt feelings of his fiance, of course, you can always repair your relationship with your beloved but you can't resurrect

of course, I have not defiled your daughter Mr Floare, your daughter is just naive about the relationship between men and women

a pouting Bianca left them to continue reading his book while murmuring idiot under her breath

I'm happy that you did not do anything lewd to my daughter however I have to say, you hurt the feeling of my daughter right now this is something I can't forget, no carriage for you

you mean I have to walk until the place

run, if you can't reach before me, then there is no way for them to allow a low noble to enter, you better start running right now

ah no

there was an upcoming noble assembly, he was invited by the Mr Floare to participate, it was a great opportunity for him to make a name for himself, also he wanted to hear more about this new world if these memories which came to his were of his own, he knew something big was going to happen and he wanted to be a part of it.

until the palace, there was a 40-minute walk, he had to reach there before Mr Floare, lungs be damned history was about to be written.

hey what's the hurry said a fisherman who he ran into, hey this is my boat said a boat driver whom he had jumped into to skip the bridge, hey would you be interested into buying some rainbow powder said the drug dealer

sorry, I'm in a hurry, I'm sorry man, they sell it 10 dil cheaper down bluechapel

he could not be bothered since Mr Floare used a carriage and knowing how big of a bastard his father in law was he knew that he would probably deplete the stamina of the horses, just to own him

after slaughtering his feet and every internal organ he had he finally reached the palace, he was lucky as he had caught up to Mr Floare carriage before passed through the gate

thank you for putting me through that suffering dear father in law.

anyone who damages the would of my little angle deserves an eternity in hell, I went easy on you.

why would you dear father in law, I'm as protective of your daughter as a bear guarding its cubs.

actually, some bears eat their children.

then why people use mama bear as an analogy for protective mothers.

the world is a strange place, isn't it?

the carriage stopped putting both Mr Floare at wonder since they were still far from the actual entrance of the but their questions were answered when the door of the carriage opened, behind the door was aunt Marietta.

hi aunt

what are you doing here Lanchester woman

hello there my dear nephew, there was still time until the gathering so I went for a walk but as you can see my legs aren't the what they used to be so you're allowed to enjoy my company dear high noble RINO

you have to hit where it hurts right

what does RINO mean aunt

rich only in name

oh sorry Mr Floare, I think this should be pretty humiliating, still being in huge debt to Lancasters after, your failed war

it doesn't matter you low born witch, you thought giving my daughter to your low born nephew would weaken me, its instead helping my family, you don't know how much we're saving each year, soon we will be free of your clutch.

actually Mr Floare last time I draw a graph for family's finances, I found that it would take around 25 years to be clear

Mr Floare's mood dropped he looked like that he could have used a drink, but unfortunately no alcoholic beverages were around

how much do I have to suffer by your aunt

I'm sorry Mr Floare but you started the conflict

I know the facts I don't care about them

pretty blunt I have to say, almost as blunt as your debt

aunt, please don't push him more

since when you're on the side of the guy who tried to ruin you aunt

Bianca would be sad if Mr Floare drowned himself in alcohol

oh mentioning Bianca how is the preparation for the ceremony is going

I don't know much, she said she wanted to plan it herself

my beloved nephew, you'll get an A+ when it comes to brains, but when it comes to understanding the female language you'll probably get a D- when a girl says I want to do it myself it means that she wants you to help her, have you at least gone shopping.

ill buy something before the ceremony

are you a fool or something, since when can instantly prepper formal clothing, it takes days for a tailer to tail something, it is not like that he has a magical machine which does most of the work for him, Floare what son in law are you rising, Floare

oh he is down, I think remembering his debt to you and the fact that he is losing his daughter soon might have pushed him too far

we're getting close to the entrance of the keep, carry him, useless as he might be he should participate in the meeting

Petro grabbed Mr Floare and carried him to toward his seat

all the other nobles were already on their seat, Petro left him wishing that only corporeal presence was needed, he then headed to where his aunt was

there were seven seats surrounding a round table where heads of the families were sitting on, and behind them, people of the lower status were, depending on their status

Petro stood next to his aunt, he then asked her

hey, aunt, do you have any plans for the new continent that has been discovered

so you have heard about it too, damn orintals have discovered a new land, however overall it is not going to be a danger to us

so what are we going to do

what should we do, it is a chunk of land far away from our city

so, aunt, I have a plan

stop right there, why do you think a low noble like you has a right to have a plan about things as important as politics

I haven't even started yet

Marietta looked down and said

I know what you're thinking about you want to set sail for the new world, and you want the council backing, even if both that Floare idiot and Lanchesteres gave you their vote it wouldn't matter, you still need 2 more votes

Marietta thought he had given up after she opposed exploring the new world, but as she rose her head and looked at his face, she noticed that his face was brimming with excitement

please, aunt, give help me

it can't be done, that idiot only brought you to witness how high nobles do business, don't stick your head where you cant pull it out

the meeting has started, the first issue, what should we do regarding the new discoveries

nothing, nothing, nothing, nothing, nothing, nothing, nothing

so we are all in favour, any objection on the low seats, ok let us press the next issue

objection

who is that

the seven representatives witnessed a young boy challenging their absolute authority

what are you doing, when you hear they say any objection, it doesn't mean that you can object

that may be right aunt, but history is being made, and I want to be in the centre of it

what are you talking about

before Marietta can remedy the situation speaker of the council called for him

what are your name and creed I'm Petro Costantino Firenze of the house Medici, I'm a financial adviser

Medici aren't you, the son in law of the Floares, the humiliation tool, what a lowly noble wants from the council, the highest authority in the city

I want the permission and backing of the council for exploring the new world

five of the seven representatives laughed at the prospect of a low noble asking them for anything, the other two, they knew what devils the Medici were

don't waste our time boy, you should be grateful that you weren't kicked out, the moment you stepped in

I don't like it when someone ridicules an ambitious young man

Marietta responded to the speaker ridiculing her nephew

oh lady Marietta, I did not notice that you were there

give the boy a chance to explain himself

we can't ignore a request from a high noble said Mr Lanchester, aunt Marietta's husband

the sound of the nobles murmuring among themselves increased they were deciding on whether they should allow him to speak or not

with speaker and two other representatives not wanting to hear him, and Mr Lanchester and two others on one side

Mr Floares was absent though, he was still emotionally damaged

Mr Lanchester said

it seems we have reached a tie according to traditions if we reach a tie someone from the lower seats must break the tie the individual with the highest title, that would be my wife

speaker begrudgingly accepted you can say what you want boy but don't take it long

before he went to present his case aunt Marietta grabbed his cheeks and pulled him

I gave acted against traditions and gave you a chance

I will not fail you aunt

my reputation is on the line, I don't care if this is passed or not act responsibly and somberly

I will, thank you

he then went toward the table and climbed putting everyone on the shock, he then pointed upwards and said, dear old people, I'm here to stop you from standing in the way of the progress
