Jonathan and Ramona were standing beside the bed where Caesar was sleeping.
"Come here Jonathan let me show you." Ramona said in a excited tone.
"There's no need for that, I am more than capable to judge and see if Caesar has a half core."
Jonathan lifts the blanket covering Caesar and place his palm on Caesar's shoulder and start circulating his mana inside Caesar's body, particularly focusing his attention on his chest region where mana core usually resides.
Jonathan body goes stiff only after half a minute and his eyes wide open, he knew that if what Ramona is saying was true then he get to see a half maturer mana core in 12 -year old boy and he thought he was ready for it but still after sensing it himself he cannot hides its astonishment and surprise for what he was seeing.
Jonathan without replying, directly went out of the room so as to not disturb Caesar's sleep cause while checking Caesar's body he could also see that his muscles and skin were torn and Caesar needs to rest to properly to heal his body. Ramona too followed his steps.
"So now do you believe me Jonathan." Ramona had a smirk on her face.
"Don't smile in a situation like this, our first goal is to find the reason for this abnormality. Do you have any idea." Jonathan ask while massaging his forehead.
"NA, I have got no clue."
"Ok so why don't we ask Serina about this." Hearing those words from Jonathan mouth froze Ramona on the place, she then suddenly start shouting on Jonathan.
"ARE YOU OUT OF YOUR MIND Jonathan YOU WANT TO TELL SEREINA, YOU WANT TO CALL SEREINA." Ramona started breathing heavily and soon took a long pause to calm herself down. "Listen Jonathan I will not let you call that old bastards, we don't know what the fuck they will do to him, those bat-shit crazy bastards are really a pain in an ass to deal with, Until we have nothing left and exhausted our every mean I will not let you call them, do you understand."
"Fine fine you don't have to shout and get angry. After all it was just a suggestion." Jonathan tries to explain himself.
"OK, so who are we going to tell about Caesar's condition." Ramona asked him.
"Lets tell Dexter about this. Oh and make sure that no one from elder council hears about it." Ramona nodded at his answer and asks, "What about his parents."
"Dale is currently in zogar plain so its better that we tell him later when he comes back after finding the cure. And about Stella, first lets try to find more about Caesar's condition and then tell her." Jonathan replies.
"That fine with me but don't take too long to tell her mother or else she might create another ruckus and it will be hard to deal with her when she is causing trouble." Ramona replies with a pondering face.
Jonathan nodded his head and left the mansion while Ramona made her way to her room.

NEXT DAY, AT MORNING 6:00 PM
"Wake up brat its time for training."
Ramona suddenly barges into the room and flip Caesar from his bed. He rolled around twice and fell first on his head.
"Ouch Ouch, what are you doing damn women and that to so early in morning." Caesar shouts while clutching his head.
"This brat, do you think you are safe, Did you forget what you said to me yesterday because I didn't, and today I will make sure that you regret saying those words."
Hearing her words Caesar soon recalled what had happened. He blabbered his mouth too much and then he tried to make a run but like an idiot he stumbled and slammed into the door and probably lost his consciousness after that. Recalling all this, Caesar made a beautiful smile and looked directly at Ramona and said.
"You look beautiful today Ramona--" Ramona suddenly interrupted him and said with a cold look. "Stop boot licking and get fresh so we can start training, I am giving you 20 minutes. Come to Training ground immediately. Saying such Ramona took her leave.
And like said Caesar got freshened up and got changed in 18 minutes and reached training ground in 20 minutes.
Seeing Caesar Ramona said, "Start running and make sure to complete 500 laps at constant speed. And after that take 20 minutes break and then start your basic weapon training till you collapse."
"What do you mean till I collapse." Caesar said with a baffled face.
"Blame yourself for that, yesterday you ran your mouth too much and now it's time for punishment."
"What, this is not fair." Caesar shouted.
"Nothing is fair in the real world brat. So stop complaining and start training . Its not like I gave you impossible training regiment."
"What impossible I fell unconscious yesterday due to exhaustion."
"That's because you wasted your energy. I told you yesterday that you have to make minimal and efficient movements so as to conserve your energy. Just do that and I am sure that you can complete today's training and will have some energy remaining to walk back to your room to get a good rest."
Saying this Ramona held her right hand in air and a started chanting a spell, soon a big magic circle was materialized in air and a small wisp of fire came out of it.
The small wisp then started sucking Ramona's mana which she had spread out in surrounding air and soon the wisp grew and took shape of 1 meter tall spirit. The spirit was totally made up of fire, It had an distinct face with two deep red ember eyes, a nose and a mouth.
Caesar was just blinking after seeing this demonstration, he was confused as to why was a spirit called here. He then looked toward Ramona to which Ramona gave the answer.
"Listen I have some important stuff to do, in my place my spirit will keep an eye on you and later tell me about your training. You better complete your training or else I will increase your training time by thrice from tomorrow."
Hearing this Caesar just made a wary smile and nodded at Ramona. She too just turned around and flied away. Caesar too started running.
Like this Caesar completed his running and then took a short break, hydrating himself and again started practicing the basic sword movement. Unfortunately he didn't even have the energy to go back to his room, Caesar just lay their closing his eyes and making his breath steady. All his muscles were in pain.
Seeing his condition Helen diligently picked him up in a princess carry and took him directly in bath, washing him thoroughly and making him wear comfortable cloths and laying him bed.
The entire time Caesar had his eyes closed but as the matter of fact he was aware of his surrounding but as soon as he felt softness of bed he fell deep asleep, lost in world of dreams.
Waking up after few hours he had a hearty meal and again went onto sleep.
Such schedule continued for another 8 days. Caesar just wake up have breakfast goes to training and comes back totally exhausted.
In past 8 days Ramona just came twice and that to so she can increase the number of laps and repetition for Caesar's training and went back to her so called important stuff.
Its been 10 days since his practice had started and the training had became much more bearable for Caesar.
After 10 days Ramona came to meet Caesar. She had a dull expression on her face for some unknown reason and finally she gave Caesar a two day holiday before his training continued.
"Caesar you may be getting a two days to rest so just rest properly and yes this is the most important part, after four days I will not be the one to take your training there will be another individual so best of luck."
Hearing her words Caesar made a big smile and finally heaved a big sigh, "Finally I will be going from this shit ho-"
Caesar was so excited that he couldn't control his mouth and soon he knew that he made a mistake by calling Ramona's training regiment a 'shit'. He slowly moved his eye up to meet Ramona's eye. But he was soon confused as Ramona too released along sigh and got up from her seat and gently walked toward Caesar.
'Fuck I made a mistake, she is going to chew me alive.'
But all his thinking was futile as Ramona did something that Caesar never expected. She put one hand on Caesar's head and gently caressed his head. "You should really enjoy your rest days cause you will be going through something that even I don't know." Saying this Ramona took her leave while leaving question marks on Caesar's head.
'What the heck she meant, Well, whatever she must have gone senile' Thinking this Caesar put that thought in back of his mind and simply went inside his room to get a sleep cause he was going to have fun the next day.
Thinking this Caesar finally went to sleep.
________
Next day, 7:00 AM
Caesar was in good mood today. After continuos training for ten days straight he finally got two day holiday. Caesar had already thought what he was going to do for next two days. For the first day he would be to go he on shopping, then he was going to see the famous theater of Nigel and Anastasia, then he will be having lunch at Aria's, the famous restaurant which was famous for its meat dishes.
Caesar was truely excited to so without wasting time he quickly took a bath and got changed. Going outside the Mansion he could see Ramona tending to her garden, Caesar and Ramona's eyes meet. Ramona instead of saying something she cast her eyes full of pity toward Caesar, sadly Caesar was too excited to understand the emotion behind Ramona's eye. Ignoring her he quickly made his way toward his mansion where Helen and guards were waiting for him with carriage.
Reaching their Caesar could spot two carriages, one white luxurious one with gold plating while other was a normal one. As soon as he reached toward carriage. Six Knights wearing armour greeted Caesar. Without giving them a second glance Caesar got into the carriage.
It took total of ten minutes just to get outside Rosehart estate. Rosehart was one of the main noble family just below the royal family in status. Rosehart estate alone covered more than 100km² of area inside city of light.
City of light was the name of city where Rosehart estate was situated. The city of light got its name because the night life in this city was more enriched than during the day.
Caesar was currently going toward the mall owned by Vincent family one of the biggest trader in the whole continent. Reaching the mall Caesar first went inside clothing store to buy himself some cloths, Well 'some' might be an understatement has he nearly picked more fifty so dresses. After handing the bags to the knight he then directly headed toward the weapon shop. The simple term to describe the shop would be fancy. The weapons were littered inside the glass case. All the weapon inside were fancy and especially their blade, one can looks and directly tell that they are sharp. After going inside caesar was greeted by sale assistant. Caesar told the assistant what type of sword he needed, soon eight beautiful swords were laid out infront of him. Every sword was gold inlaid and had a sharp blade Caesar didn't took much time quickly chose the fifth sword. The sword was made beautifully with a handle made of expensive wood while the blade was engraved with beautiful patterns. Without haggling for price caesar directly paid the money for the sword and took his leave.
Finally it was time for the famous play inside theater for which Caesar was waiting. After Reaching the theater, Caesar was escorted inside through VIP passage and taken into VIP room seeing the time, he was half an hour earlier but Caesar had enough patience to wait for play to start.
Inside the room, sipping his juice Caesar was waiting inside the VIP room, thinking of buying new novels after the play was over.
There was sudden knocking on the door, a guard went and opened the door, outside an old woman was standing, she had white hairs, a few wrinkles on her face and black eyes. She was wearing a luxurious robe. Guard thought that the old women must have mistake her room and he was going to send her on her way but suddenly everyone inside the room went stiff when the women's words were heard.
"Is Caesar Von Rosehart here." The women said.
Knowing that the women was specifically finding their young master, all the guards drew their sword and were ready to attack the old women with her slightest movement. Caesar too was watching all of this.
The guard asked, "State your identity or we will be forced to subdue you."
Helen too went and stood in front of Caesar to protect him.
"My, My, It seems that Jonathan had not told you that I was coming." said the old women with a gentle smile on her face.
The Guards still didn't let their weapon down even after hearing patriarch's name. Before the guard could speak further the women spoke again.
"I don't like to waste my time, you see I have to go to see a dear friend of mine so, it would be better if you all move and let me take Caesar with me" she said while looking directly at Caesar.
The awkward situation suddenly changed and the guard let their aura flow through their sword. Two guards went directly to attack the old women with full force while four remaining guard stood in front of Caesar to protect him.
Even when the aura clad sword was going to cleave the old women. She didn't seemed frighten, nervous or panicked, instead her eyes looked as clear as pure water. She gently lifted her finger and,
Bam! Bam!Bam! Bam! Bam! Bam!
All six guards were embedded into the floor just the next second. Caesar had his mouth wide open, he still couldn't understand how all guard were kneeling as soon as the old women lifted her finger. Even Helen was kneeling on one leg while biting her lip so hard that blood flowed out of her lip.
Caesar was nervously looking at the old women when he finally understood that he was floating in the air. Caesar then directly flew into the arms of the old women and lost his consciousness.
