3p - Julius pov
As of now I am looking at the surronding open field were all I see is dirt. Away from me is my father who seems to be swinging a spear and doing both a thrust and twist motion simultaneously in a trance like state.
After moments of waiting with my mother, who was holding my youngest brother Jonathan, had an amused expression, my Father finally steps out of his trance and murmurs something along the lines of unexpected progress.
My mother then walks to my father and gently holds his neck with one hand and while turning him around asks whilst giggiling, "So will you train him or will I?"
As my father concentrates on me he replies almost instantaneously to her question saying in an rushed tone hiding both his embarrassment and excitement saying, "Of course I will train him."
This inturn elicits a laugh from my mother and as she walks away, she looks at me, bends down and ruffles my hair with one hand,telling me to listen to my father. She then walks away leaving me alone to my father.
At this point I should mention that my mother Freya had been training me by telling me to run, lift my own body weight, and my other mothers taught me manners and to care for myself. It is only after today after breakfast today with both my little brother Elijah and Jonathan, and my two little sisters Cerelis and Samantha that I will begin to train with my father.
Hearing my name being called I snap out of my thoughts and look at my father who at this point has put away his spear and is squatting in front of me.
My Father then asks seeing I am focusing on him, "Do you know what I will be trainning you with today?"
Nervously I reply, "Y-yes father, today you will train me with a dagger for the first time. A weapon is a tool to hurt."
My Father then walks up to me and says, "Good child, you couldn't answer much better. Listen up Julius, you may not understand me, but I am personally of the belief that there is no good and bad, only what follows. However, you on the other hand, have the ability to do what others may perceive as good, and I hope you do good."
Continuing, "However I hope you remember this and engrave it into your soul, 'You will at one point do bad, once you do, you should feel guilt about it, and while in guilt remember to accept it and forgive yourself. and to forgive yourself doing some good may help.' *cough* I got a bit carried away."
As I gaze at my father, I engrave what he said into my soul, and although I don't understand him, I know I will understand him, somewhere in the future.
My Father then gets back to his trainning mindset and straightens his back, except for the fact that he's squatting to reach my height.
As my Father stands once again he now reaches for two daggers, one of a metal which gleams in a silver light and a replica but made of wood.
As my father hands me my dagger he tells me to remember what I told him today and we officially start trainning which consists of me swinging nd thrusting my dagger with one hand and switching to my other hand and repeating the process.
After about an hour, or as long as I could and a bit longer, my Father and I walk back in the direction of the house for a few minutes while my father praises me that I finally see the view of our mansion with the walls surronding it in all directions.
Thankfully we are already inside the walls so we don't have to walk further. After about a minute walk, in which my father asks of my condition, we finally reach the entrance of the mansion.
Upon reaching the doors we were greeted by maids and staff alike who also held the doors open for us. After passing I gaze into the spacious halls with high ceilings and pass many rooms furnished with respective furniture I walk into the halls and into the inner areas of our home where only our family and a few trusted subordinates of my father are allowed entry.
Upon reaching for the doors separating the inner and outer parts of our home I see both my mother and my second mother Eli both holding their respective babies whilst sitting opposite to each other on a couch. Eli is the woman who gave birth to Samantha who is now one year old. Jonathan my little brother on the other hand is roughly half a year older than my Samantha.
After hearing the cries of Samantha I then see my second mother lowering her dress to allow Samatha to quench her thirst. (hunger? I mean, milk is full of nutrients and all but you drink milk right.)
After several moments of my mother rocking their respective children in silence, we then turn our gaze upon Freya who is walking hand in hand with Cerelis who is also walking just fine.
Upon seeing the scene of Eli rocking her body with one part of her dress lowered and Jessica rocking her own child, Freya asks while keeping her gaze on Jessica, "Where is Elijah?"
Freya then turns her head and looks at her husband and asks, "Why don't you speak more often in times of silence like these?"
Eli answers first, "Elijah is currently learning manners and while I could teach him, I'd like to care for Samantha then teach manners."
Freya quickly states, "Make sure you don't neglect him and create an insecure baby."
Eli nods in response and everyone then turns their gaze on Christian.
He breathes in only to reply calmly, "I like silence for many reasons, and although I am finally getting out of my shell and speaking more, I find it difficult to do any more than this considering my past filled with violence, slaughter, anguish, and chaos."
As his three wives nod in response and after a small pause Christian continues. "I've found it somewhat difficult to trust anyone in my past, hence my difficulty in love, I was hence more prone to feeling of lust than love, until years ago that is." As he remembered the past hechuckled a with a smile he adds, "Only after a period od laughably naive attempts to seduce me did Eli succeed in doing so and won my heart."
As my father noticed the lost expression on my face he begins to talk of my trainning. "Our little Julius has quite the talent with daggers. He seems to be able to use both a spear and a bow, though I've yet to train him in either. Eli, if you could I'd like you to train my son with a bow when possible." Eli nods obediently in response
Turning his head in the direction of Freya he continues in a hesitant voice, "Although I am capable and more than willing to train Julius in both the spear and how to dual wield daggers, It would be better to have you train him Freya. After all you are better at the spear than I am."
Freya then replies in a slightly excited flat voice, "We should both train him. After all while my spear technique is better you can do some interesting things with you dual wield muscle memory. So while i train technique you can train him with some trump cards in spear mastery."
Christian then nods in response with a relieved smile.
Freya then turns her head to Eli and asks about Elijah's trainning, "Eli, would you let Jessica train Elijah in the sword or will you? I say you should let Jessica train him, after all she is better at the sword than you."
Jessica while sticking her chest out turns to Eli who is pouting and then sighs in defeat causing Jeesica to smirk. Eli then says in a monotone defeated voice, "Yes I should let Jessica train my young one, after all the princess is better at the sword and can pass royal trainning to Elijah."
Jessica then asks Eli in a exhasperated tone, "Your still sour huh, you know you opened the heart of our husband but I am first wife due to my status. You should feel happy knowing your both his first love and first time. Well nevermind, I will train Elijah well, after all he has his father's genes, meaning he will be talented and protect both our family in the future."
Eli in turn sighs and says while sulking, "I didn't expect my husband-"
"Our husband!" Freya and Eli shout in unison causing Christian mouth's ends to curve up.
Eli continues, "Yes 'our' husband won the princesses heart and your hand in marriage causing me to lose my chance at being first wife. Regardless I know you will treat my son well, but remember don't go easy on him, in the coming years we must prepare ourselves.
At this moment Ling walks in with Elijah and while not being a wife can be considered a concubine. Ling, swaying her hips and glancing at Christian blinks in disappointment before walking towards Christian and bending over with her ass pointed to Christian while poking Julius on the nose. She then swings her hips and asks about Julius's education, "Hey~, when am I going to start teaching the little one about history, he's already good enough at the universal language, to read and write. He can also do simple arithmetic."
Christian while keeping his eyes on her ass replies that now should be as good a time as any.
Finally Ling backing up to stick her ass at his crotch stands up, winks at him and walks away with Julius ready to info dump.
(What I have in mind for this info dump is to provide better idea of the country of Granile where they live. I plan to continue in the pov of mostly Christian until the MC Julius reaches 15 years or so afterall he isnt a reincarnated person and will make mistakes and learn.)
all this while I will be providing a spread out info dump in the form of a story where Christian will live his day to day life and more or less explain his problems conflicts with other clans, however I also plan on explaining the overall power system within the info dump in a listed format so you can see that and then skip.)
(finally after MC reaches 15, I will change him with an event and begin the journey, I consider this still to be the prolouge, but a better alternative to an info dump to those who don't like them including me.)
(I plan to avoid info dumps by changing into the pov of different charecters)
