Chapter 8 - ch 8

The Frozen-Sun family is not just a long time ally of the Blood-Storm but also distant relatives infact the founders of both families were brothers and it was an unspoken truth that the Frozen-Sun's founder only received his rank of baron because his brother wanted to return to the field and passed his achievements to his brother which is why after the war the original baron of the Frozen-Sun family requested for his brothers family to be elevated and the barony ever since has looked after the Blood-storm family until now...

Dad:"This can't be...HOW DARE THEY! They wouldn't even have their rank if it wasn't for my ancestor they would have never had such strength if it wasn't for our family backing them up for years! Is this how they repay such long and loyal service!?! Even when other houses abandoned them at their darkest hours we stood firm and they turned around and stabbed us in the back! From this day forward we are now enemies get me in touch with Rotted-Heart family so they can help us show our gratitude to the Frozen-Sun family!"

I didn't know why I had such mixed emotions on one hand I was worried about the upcoming conflict, I felt afraid that someone was targeting my life on the other hand I was furious that they would dare attack me and excited at the prospect of having to claim lives hell I nearly got a hard on seeing that pretty spy for the Frozen-Sun suffer one thing I did know was that former were emotions came from my past life as I lived in a very safe metropolitan area while the latter came seemingly out of nowhere the only possibility I could think of was that my awakening changed me deeper than I previously imagined.

Over the next few weeks my father kept the pretense of still being loyal to the Frozen-Sun family talking about my awakening saying that I failed and had my potential crippled barely even gaining the ability to use mana and that he assumed that it was caused by my over confidence in selecting the dragon soul crystal which led to a backlash as well as minor memory failure all the while secretly working with the Rotted-Heart family one of the Frozen-Sun's enemies that had the least animosity toward our house who were all too happy to work with my father in his endeavor to seek revenge.

...

It's been about two months since my father began plotting against the Frozen-Sun family after the assassination attempt under the tutelage of priestess Alyssa I have gained a significant understanding of my power and have undergone a minor personality shift as I explained to my mother the same day she found the spy at first she assumed that I was imaging this but in order to help assuage my worries she began to have her most trusted maid who helped raise me watch and document my behavior at first seemed to be me just growing into myself maybe becoming a bit naughty so eventually it was dropped but some of my "pranks" were becoming more dangerous and it became harder to stop myself even after three servants and one unlucky guard were injured.

These weren't the only changes though I began learning faster even without magical dropping but I didn't like leaving my territory...I mean my room..I sought to prevent others from reaching me I saw it as an invasion if it wasn't for priestess Alyssa teaching me how to ignore that line of thought to the best of my abilities (much to my mother's displeasure because she couldn't) I would not have been able to leave my domain.. ROOM! I meant room although it still bothers me to be so vulnerable I nearly became paranoid.

Now I am on board a ship heading to the academy in my private room reserved by my parents as they were worried what would happen if I was forced to be around others for extended periods of time as I would either become bored and begin "pranking" my fellow students or I would become paranoid about them and do something drastic which would be far worse in order to keep me distracted during the trip I was allowed my small alchemy set where I was making potions but apparently someone doesn't understand the concept of privacy as self entitled shit stain waltzed right into my private cabin with a smirk that said that he was looking for trouble dressed in a first year's uniform it seemed like he was trying to intimidate me probably to make me serve him.

bully:"Well well well what do we have here a wanna be alchemist hiding away from the rest of the ship if you're so scared I could look after you but as they say nothing is for free serve me well and I will see to it that you are taken care of"
