"Step father?" I said.
I couldn't control my rage seeing Tristan's descendant's full of arrogance.
I wanted to punch him so bad...
But..
As I looked at my father's eyes, He gave me a signal to not let my anger out.
The Governor, leaned at my face and whispered.
"I'll give you all the money you want, Just sell your mother to me. I'll make sure to treat her properly."
A sudden ache in my chest occured, It was as if the Previous owner of this body, The Original Lancelot Valentine was enraged after hearing this bastard's words.
I need to control myself....
If I kill this guy out of anger, I'll not only endanger myself but also my new family.
But I won't let this slide, Even if it takes me a decade, I'll make sure to take revenge on behalf of the previous Lance.
"I'm sorry but my mother is not for sale, Governor." I replied.
The greedy smile of the Governor immediately turned into a raging look.
He immediately then tried to punch me on the stomach, But for me....
Who was the World's strongest, Who fought countless battles...
Who was the human's liberator...
I would really be filled with embarrassment if this slow punch were to hit me.
Without anyone knowing what happened, All the people saw the kid who was infront of The Governor, suddenly went at his back.
Even the Governor didn't notice and was completely shocked upon what happened.
"Huh?!" As He spoke in a shocked manner.
"Enough with your nonsense third prince!" As the Elf princess spoke.
The slaves who were gathered were shocked upon the scene they were witnessing.
A strange phenomenon which had never happened before, The Elf Princess was always silent and cold and never interrupted any violent acts of the Third Prince of the Empire.
"I'm sorry Governor, I'll educate my son properly. Please forgive our rudeness." As My father grabbed me and begged for forgiveness.
The Governor looked disgusted and was really angry.
But the Princess's words got to him and left us immediately.
"Lance, You shouldn't anger the Governor. It'll get you in trouble." As my father said in a worried tone.
"But He was spouting nonsense about buying off my mother and being him as our step father. I can't accept that." As I replied in a composed manner.
Then after that commotion, the Guys in robes continued to distribute the salaries of every slaves that had worked.
My father received three silvers for his hard work, And I received one silver for the Light work I've been doing.
After all the slaves received their salaries, They were given small portions of rations that would only last for today.
It was a bonus, I guess for the hard work the slaves have been doing.
The Third Prince, Called out three slaves which I'm certain were his underlings.
They talked about something that I couldn't properly hear since I were further away from them.
The Princess of the Elves, Danielle Eleanor, started walking and went towards my direction.
The Slaves were quite shocked since things they didn't expect were happening all in one day.
After seeing the Princess head towards my direction, I immediately gave way and bowed towards her.
The Princess then stopped infront of me and said.
"Boy, What is your name?"
"I greet the Governor, I am Lancelot Valentine your highness." I replied.
"Lancelot, Here take this and eat plenty." She said and handed my a small bag.
I accepted it and opened only to look that there were more than thirty silvers inside.
"I can't accept this your highness! This is too much, I have not done any heavy work, for me to receive this." I spoke in a humble tone.
"No, You should use it and eat plenty, You look like you're gonna get blown off if a strong wind passes through you." She said.
"I shall humbly accept this, Thank you your highness." As I replied and bowed to show my gratitude.
I immediately hid the small bag since there were too much eyes around, That may cause a ruckus later.
"I am Danielle Eleanor, I shall return now and make sure to eat lots okay? See you later." As She said while waving her hand.
It was a sight to be seen, All the slaves around were feeling envious of me.
A conversation with a beautiful princess was like a dream to the Slaves that settled here.
And I saw the Third Prince stare at me along with his underlings while talking about something.
After that, The Governors along with their Escorts left the Blue House.
My father and I went immediately towards the Forest to search for my Mother and Brother.
As we walked around the forest to search for them, I was deep in thought.
For I, Arthur Lionhart had the reason to take my revenge and destroy the Devon Empire while the Owner of this body hated the Devon descendants.
We share the same fate, I guess it was fate that brought me to this body.
But first thing's first, I need to train this slim body into a capable one that can withstand even the most prolonged fights.
I'll make sure to take back what you took from me Tristan.
A grudge that Arthur Lionhart had, and even through Tristan's descendants. He will still take revenge for the sake of His Grudge on Tristan Devon who he trusted the most, and was the one that ended his life.
After several minutes of searching, We finally found mother and Lionel.
So we headed back to our house together.
Father told them about the incident that happened, Where the Third Prince tried to punch me and I eventually disappeared infront of him.
It was a technique which could increase the person's ability, If you focus your Ki unto a certain point on your lower body, Your quickness will rise and will be able to move more faster than any normal humans.
It hurt when I suddenly used it out of anger, I even almost twisted his neck. Good thing I held myself and just dodged his punch.
Then my father told them that the Princess stood up for me, And after that She even went ahead as to start a conversation with me.
Lionel was super jealous since he had her eyes on the princess for a very long time.
My mother was also happy upon hearing the things that my father told me.
"Oh I forgot, The princess gave me this." As I grabbed the small bag from my pocket and gave it to my mother.
Mother slowly opened it with her hands, And they were shocked upon what they saw inside the Small bag.
"What is this Lance!? How!?" Mother asked in a shocked manner.
"The Princess gave me this and told me to eat lots and gain some weight." I replied.
Ofcourse they'll be shocked, Since it's alot of money. Even if my father worked for a year it wouldn't even manage to reach half of it's worth.
"Son, This is bad...." As My father said in a worried tone.
"Huh? what's bad?" I asked.
My father explained and told me about some rumors regarding to elves.
They say that when Elves takes a liking towards their target, They give them all sorts of things to regain their health back and to impress them.
After that, They'll take you to their home and you'll be regarded as their sex toy.
You'll only be used for the Elves pleasure, And you won't be able to leave that place forever until you die.
"Huh!? Sex toy!? What are you saying Danny!?" As My mother shouted out of nowhere.
"I think he means sex slave mom, not sex toy." I said in a composed manner.
"Yes, That's it lance. So you better stay away from that Princess, Who knows what'll happen to you if get more of their attention." Father said in a worried tone.
I guess, Elves have their own things. I always thought that Elves isolated themselves since they didn't want to get bothered by the humans.
Since humans were always attracted to their looks, That's why the elves took countermeasures and lived in the woods to avoid the humans greed's.
After that we continued having a conversation and ate some delicious food....
(In my mother's point of view)
I'm still worried about Lancelot losing his memories..
And the way he talks and act, It's totally different from before he lost his memories, Is it some kind of Side effect? Where even one's personality could change due to a sudden memory loss?
But I feel that somehow he'll regain his memories, I'm just glad that he seems to be okay...
....
Later that night...
I couldn't sleep after our conversation...
Danny, My father told me that there's no escape in being a slave. There won't be any solutions since this has been the Law ever since the Devon Era started.
So that meant that whatever we do, We'll be slaves forever.
But there are solutions to get out of Blue house, He said that the first one was to get purchased by some High ranking people and become their servant.
That's why my father, built our home at the outskirts of the town, Since my mother might attract any attention and get purchased.
The second solution was to runaway and become a criminal and live at the forest.
Those were the only options, The slaves at Blue house accepted their fate...
They knew that neither solutions won't ever happen to them, Only the first option could occur for those beautiful women that might attract the higher status people.
Devon Empire is totally corrupt....
They take Advantage of people who's had debts and makes contracts that would even still be valid for the Slave's descendants.
So no matter what happens, They'll never lose any free labourers. Tsk!
Rebelling won't even help since these people are weak as hell when it comes to swordsmanship.
Earlier when the slaves were gathered along with the governors and their escort knights...
I couldn't even sense any person that has activated their Ki.
It seems the new generations really relied on weaponry now, Seeing the Knights had Extravagant swords along with crossbows with explosive arrows.
After seeing their Arrows earlier, I'm sure those were explosive ones. Since it existed at my Era.
I still don't know what they might have been developing this past few years, I'll need to be careful.
I went out of our house to have some fresh air...
As I stood outside, I heard some voices talking at the back of the next house.
"Hey, What should we do?"
"We just need to follow the orders. So that will be free from this place."
"But it seems that Danny is inside, Should we kill him while he's sleeping?"
After hearing that sentence, I immediately went to the next house to hear more about their absurd conversation upon killing my father.
"The Boss told us to bring the woman tomorrow, If we don't do it now. We'll be surely dead."
Woman?! Boss?! I gotta check what they look like.
I slowly peeked at them at the wall and noticed that they were the three guys that were having a conversation earlier with the Third Prince.
"Let's just kill the twins and danny, Then grab the woman."
"Yeah, Let's take our time first with that woman, The boss wouldn't even know that we touched her. Keke!"
"Yeah, Let's do that. Keke! Let's impregnate that woman, The Boss won't notice it, I'm sure he'll think that it's his son. Keke!"
This people are truly absurd....
My heart won't stop beating rapidly...
Is this Lancelot's will....
His hatred...
I won't tolerate anyone who dares to bring harm unto my family....
I clenched my fists as I looked at the grass beneath me....
"Oi! Look who we got here." As the person among the three spoke and was infront of me, Staring at me.
I looked at them as my rage boiled inside me....
"It seems we won't be having a hard time killing them. Keke!"
"Yeah, The son has came to us, Willing to die first I guess Keke!"
The guy who stood infront of me, leaned and whispered towards my ear..
"After we kill you, We'll kill your twin and daddy then we'll fuck your mother's brains out until she screams saying more. Hehehe!"
My heartbeat became calm...
The hatred inside me subdued...
I can feel the breezy air completely in this night...
My entire body was emitting an enormous amount of uncontrollable Ki...
The Rage within me has come out..
As I lifted my head and looked at them and said.
"You disgust me, I'll make sure to slaughter you all along with your families."
Chapter End.
