Chapter 3 - Living in the Count's household

Ten years have passed,Louis is taught many things like history, royal etiquette, magic and martial arts. Louis learnt everything his teachers and instructors taught to the best of his ability very diligently.

During these years, Louis's mother Delia came occasionally to visit him. Most of the time, they communicate using letters which was changed to communication crystal.

All of Louis's teachers praised him in front of his father saying he has a great talent at almost everything from solving territorial issues to fighting someone that is slightly stronger than him. Henry is pleased and sad at the same time when he heard this.

He is pleased because Louis is genius that can takeover his position in the future. He is sad because he cannot pass the position to his son directly because in the near future the blood of his family is going to be spilled.

Henry sighed and thought "The kingdom is peaceful but it is too peaceful that the major forces aren't doing anything. Somehow it feels like before the storm. something feels odd

If the storm do comes, the first people to be destroyed will be me and marquis's head. But knowing the old fox, he will be safe and I regret bringing Louis here. I hope nothing Louis and this country".

Leaving Henry's thoughts aside Louis enjoying and learning not caring what awaits him in the future.
