There, Stood infront of me, A bald headed man which had a scar on his nose.
A muscular guy who was very tall and had a very intimidating face that even a goblin would be scared.
As the bald man looked beneath and stared at me, I felt the shivers, Then he slowly moved his arms towards me.
After holding both of my shoulders...
"Lance! I heard that you fell on a tree and had memory loss!?" He said in a very worried tone.
What the heck!? I thought he was about to strangle me after bumping into him.
I had my guard up for nothing..
"Yes, As you can see. I can't even remember who you are." I replied with an anxious look on my face.
The intimidating guy who stood infront of me, Became a worried father like guy.
Like what the heck?
"I'm Danny. Please don't joke something like that. It worry's me that you got yourself a memory loss." As he said while nearly tearing up.
My mother and Twin brother also came out after hearing the ruckus.
"Oh, Danny what brings you here? I thought you were at work?" As My mother said.
"I heard the workers talking about how Lance fell from a tree and lost his memory, That's why I ran here quickly as possible." He replied with a worried face.
As they talked for quite a bit, I noticed and learned that Danny Is my mother's new husband.
My mother and us, the twins, were sent here when we were still three years of age.
We only got a piece of land in the Blue House, And My mother didn't have anyone nor knew anyone inside this slave settlement.
My mother who was very beautiful on every man's eyes, gained their attentions.
That's when, Me, Lionel and my mother were briefly offered to live on one of the houses of the slave men.
I certainly knew that they had ulterior motives since my mother was quite beautiful.
But danny, Who had fell inlove at first sight, Didn't have any lustful motives towards my mother, unlike the other slaves.
That's when danny immediately made a new room for us in his house, And didn't even touch nor assaulted our mother. He then took care of us, Like we were his sons.
Then soon after, My mother and Danny fell inlove with each other and announced their love.
Then we, The twins grew up within the care of Danny and our mother.
Until recently, A guy which liked my mother for long had been jealous of Danny.
And when mother and Us along danny went to buy some groceries at the center of of Blue house Village, Our house was destroyed by the Jealous man.
Our belongings, were stolen and everything was a mess.
That's why we are currently living in this Shabby tent house temporarily.
"So I guess, I should call you father?" I said.
Danny, Mother and Lionel stared at me in shock.
"Father? Do you really see me as your father now Lance?!" As Danny cried with tears of joy after hearing what I said.
"I mean, you took care of us when we had nothing, And I don't even remember anything about my father. (More Importantly I don't remember anything about this Kid's Memories.) So I guess, You deserve to be called father." As I replied with a Smile.
Danny, Or so now my father, Hugged me tightly while crying out of happiness.
My mother who stood behind us, smiled and was also glad.
My brother, Lionel also agreed and called him father. Since he also accepts danny as his father.
And so after that touching moment, We ate bread and had quite the conversation before heading back to the forest to work.
Father, Didn't want us to work at a very young age, But the past Lance volunteered that we, the twins, should also work too. That's why Father wasn't able to do anything and told the Chief, who was his close friend to give us light work that will not injure us.
I guess, Having a family like this is worthwhile. Since in my past, My family died after the Earthquake that shook the entire world before the monsters suddenly arrived.
"So listen up Lance, We'll be gathering branches further north okay? Since we're still to weak to help on cutting trees." Lionel said.
I nodded and there we bid goodbye to our father and went deep in the northern forest to gather some branches.
To gather some freaking branches....
To gather some fucking Branches!???
How Can the Strongest Man become a Slave that gathers branches!?
Now that I've learned what I needed to know about my current situation, It's time to think of plan and reclaim what is rightfully mine!
That bastard Tristan! He even changed the Calendar Era!
Lionhart's achievements are now completely forgotten! Even If I were to ask anyone here, I'm sure they wouldn't know anything about the LionHart Era!
I will slowly take my revenge unto your descendants you traitorous bastard!
I should regain my previous state, due to this thin body of mine I won't even last long in a fight.
I guess I should first train until I'm confident that I could take care of myself even in dangerous situations.
But I feel abit sad, I can't take my anger out unto Tristan's descendants who knew nothing..
Sigh...
Let's just work first and get used to this routine, As A slave.
So As we head on the forest, Lionel and I gathered branches and wrapped it with ropes.
After several hours of gathering, We finally headed back.
Just before reaching the Lumber field, An announcement was heard...
"Everyone! Listen up! The Three Kingdom's Governors are here for the monthly quota. So everyone, Please prepare everything and put it at the Village entrance!" As the man who was topless and had a blonde hair supposedly the Chief yelled at us.
The slaves then started preparing everything and headed towards the Village Entrance.
My father, Danny immediately searched for us.
"Lionel, Lance! Gimme those and hide your mother okay?" As he spoke desperately.
"Hide our mother? What does he mean?" I asked.
"Our mother's like a shining gem towards the Human Governor. He's desperately trying to take our mother, That's why every month they try to visit we hide our mother in the forest, So that he won't be able to harass her." Lionel said.
After hearing that, I got angry. Human nature truly is evil. With their power, They try to take what they want even if the other party doesn't agree. Tsk!
"Go hide her Lionel, I'll accompany father. I feel that something bad is gonna happen. My instincts tell me that I should accompany our father." I replied.
"Okay, Make sure to not get any attention, The Governor truly hates us for hiding our mother everytime he visits Blue house." He said in a worried manner.
"Okay, Got it."
So I followed my father who already went out to greet the Governors that are heading towards our village.
As I walked through the Village road, I tried to Sense and activated Ki. Which was the internal energy for every living organism that could strengthen them.
I finally found an opening at my Ki core, which is located at the chest, below the heart.
The Ki is deeply tied to every will and emotions.
Murderous intent, Which activates the Ki and when being in rage and allows a person to release some ominous aura or something like that.
Ki is more likely the the next stage for the human's evolution. Which I was the first one to Discover back in my Era.
Since I know how to activate my Ki, I can use it for a short amount of time, Since I just activated it.
I still need to cleanse my Core and remove all impurities, And train my Ki along with my new body.
I can't let myself stay in this state, It's like my body would be blown away if a strong wind approached in my direction.
First I need to find A way to get my family out of slavery. Slavery weren't implemented at my time, How could they make such a thing.
I don't know what happened to the Past Lance, For me to gain his body. But I'm sure that he wants to get his family out of this place.
The Northern Region has Six Towns which occupies the entire northern area.
Salamander Town which was our hometown, and further below it lies the Town of Lucrania, Where the Viscount Andres owns.
And on the Eastern part lies the Towns of Fuden and Naz, The Elven towns which the elves govern.
And in the Western part is where the Dormian and Dreguro towns are located which the Dwarves govern.
But first and foremost is to look for a solution that would get us out of this slave town.
Everyone here doesn't have any slave marks or anything. But if you try to escape this place, You'll be known as criminal and will be killed on sight.
The three kingdom holds every information of every slaves at the Blue house. So it would be hard to hide at the Towns which they all govern.
The best solution would be living in the forest, But it's too dangerous since bandits briefly roam the Forest.
So the best decision is to find a solution that would resolve our slave situation without being a criminal.
But As I look around, Everyone here seems to be having a normal life. I guess people here aren't being treated badly by the Governors.
Or so that's what I thought....
"The Governors are here! Show Respect to the Governors!" As the Chief of Blue House yelled.
The people immediately bowed and greeted the Guests.
"We Greet the Governors!"
Three guys in white robes, came out inside the Carriages that were at the front of the entrance.
Followed by three younger people and came out of the Carriage.
At the left side which the Carriage had a Flag of the Dwarves, There stood a Boy on his twenties, The Governor of Dwarvon Empire, and The Successor of the Throne. A Young Dwarf that had the body of a fully trained knight, Had the intimidating yet composed look, The Confidence which only the Dwarves had.
He was named, Yulgar Dwarvon. The first Son of the Current King of Dwarvon.
And in the Right side which represented the Elven Kingdom in the Great Wisdom forest.
A beautiful Girl which had ash blonde colored hair that reached her waist, Golden bright eyes which emphasized her beauty and lashes that were long and pretty, Along with her sharp nose, Small pinkish lips and pointy ears which represents their race.
A truly beautiful young elf.
By my calculations, she was fifteen years old or so, It was hard to guess since elves have long life span and age doesn't really apply on their looks.
Her name was Danielle Eleanor. The youngest daughter of the Elven King.
In the middle, there stood a boy which I'm sure that he was currently thirteen years of age.
A look which gave off bad vibes, He had Blonde hair which represents the Royal family, He had average looks and a thin body, More or less untrained.
His name was Arnold Devon, the Third son of the Current King of The Devon Empire.
He had a greedy smile on his face which was looking around the slaves infront of him, Like he was searching for someone.
"For this month's quota, We hereby receive the Lumbers of the Blue house Slaves and shall pay you your salary for this month." As the man in robe announced infront of every slave at the village entrance.
The Slaves then started lining up to receive their salary which was three silvers per month.
Three silvers were enough to buy bread and clean water for an entire month to feed three mouths.
As the people received their Salaries, I looked around and searched for Father.
After finding him I immediately went to him.
"Father, Let's go and get the salary." I said.
"What are you doing here? Didn't I tell you to hide?" As Father whispered at my ear.
"What do you mean? I thought you said to just hide mother? So Lionel went ahead and they hid at the forest." I replied.
"No, You should also go with them. You see It--"
"Look who we have here!"
Before my father could finish his sentence, The Governor of the Empire, The Third son of the king interrupted.
My father immediately lowered his head, As the Governor went towards us.
The looks on the people's eyes, It was something that they usually witness every month.
The Governor suddenly knee kicked my father's stomach, My father immediately fell on the ground as he coughed.
"Where's my dear Elaine, Danny? Where are you hiding her?!" As the Governor said with a greedy look on his face.
I stood there infront of them and realized...
That Even in this generation, That Tristan bastard's descendants are still as fucked up as him..
I now, Have no reason to feel pity towards his descendants.
As I clenched my fists and grit my mouth out of rage.
The Governor looked at me, And walked towards me as he grabbed my shoulder and said.
"Lance was it or Lionel? Bring your mother here.. I'll make sure to be a good step father for you. Keke!"
Chapter End.
