[Felix Skyrel, 19 y/o, year 93 of gracian era, month 5, day 5, kiltrant forest. Temporary camp. In dream state ]
I see...the owner of this body was named felix skyrel, second son of duke Fizron skyrel and Elaine grecia. Except for his sister marienne and older brother evan, the rest of the household members died including there parents when the great catastrophe happened 7 years ago.
Felix was still on the capital school at that time when suddenly. A huge monster wave occurs at the north. Destroying the ducal household heavily and it's quite unstoppable since the big boss, spriea, the spider queen and valroft, the wolf king. Leads the huge monster wave.
The duchy of the north become ruin, and it's neighbouring territory was also partially damaged and constantly recovering from the lost. Felix's brother, evan was the one who injured spriea, the spider queen and she retreated. While the second prince, kaile marqrise defeated the wolf king, valroft. The rest of valroft kin escape. Kaile was the son of emperor carcellian marqrise and former empress.
To how did Kaile kill it? Valroft was a prideful monster king. if he attack unlike spriea, he won't back down even if he died, the reason kaile easily killed it was, the duke of the north had already gravely injured it with the current marquis grecia, Felix maternal grandfather helped for revenging the death of his daughter.
After evan rushes home to save his mother, though he was already too late for that. He met spriea who was slightly injured unlike valroft who was gravely injured. The two faught thus injuring spriea heavily. But spriea ran away from the fight with grave injury but evan didn't pursuit them instead he rushes straight to the Skyrel duchy's mansion in Hardrock city, the central city of Skyrel duchy.
Evan was supposed to be kaile vassal, although they have a master-servant relationship, they were also best friend to each other. I know it since Felix brother, evan and the second prince, get along together and was also speaking informally to each other when alone. Sometimes evan invited his younger brother felix to have a drinks and hang out with. A scene in the memory which constantly flash in my mind.
Of course felix was joining for a drink but he only drink juice or tea, but seeing the peaceful and lively atmosphere when the two talk, felix was sure about it. but people can change, so it still leave him a sense of uncertainty, believing it.
Not that i care, since evan was only Felix half-brother and was born by the Felix mothers lady's maid, and he was the first-born. After such an affair, Felix mother's lady's maid become Felix father's concubine.
Maybe polygamy was allowed in this empire, but i don't have much information for that. Although felix was a legitimate child, he doesn't have an ambition to take over the dukedom, unlike evan who do his best to make his father proud. Felix's father favour evan than him.
It really doesn't matter since Felix mother were spoiling him. Well, maybe that's why the duchess and the duke of the north wasn't in good terms. That's what's made me wonder and confuse.
I mean how the hell did felix born when they had a bad relationship to each other. But let's not think about that since these vast memories can't be conquer overnight.
Let's get back to the original topic, after the incident happen, the second prince kaile marqrise who was always don't stand out or presenceless, had his achievements of defeating the valroft was recognized and now many people will support him to the upcoming battle of the throne, only if the emperor already 6-feet below the ground will he ascend after defeating his siblings in that battle.
It must only means that he had his chance to succeed the throne, which maybe will push back the first prince whom he was on bad terms. Threatening his position to become the crown prince and inherit the empire.
Because of the death of duke gallion and the others. Evan Skyrel had finally inherit the territory even if he was an illegitimate one, his talent for territorial management is greater than Felix, who was the legitimate heir decline, inheriting the title but he still got some money and a small land as an inheritance.
It seems like felix doesn't want to be bothered by other affairs and live in a secluded place.
The land itself was called shadevale valley, it was located at the northest part of the territory and was also near the entrance of winter pass. Farther north of which was not part of the territory was a ice cold terrain called winter pass. Shadevale valley is made up of about 35% tundra, 40% grassland, 25% are mountain and hills surrounding the land with a river in it. The land has terrain advantages, building a settlement there is a good choice, the only infamous about this place is the mysterious weather. That made felix wonder, if the terrain is good, how did it fall immediately. It was still a mystery for me because I couldn't access that part of felix childhood memories yet.
What wonder him more is why is the former owner of the body chooses in reclaiming the land instead of choosing to live a more decent life in the capital.
But I know that sword has a connection with this.
Evan gave me the land even though it's not really a part of skyrel territory for at least a decade ago. But atleast he gave me an official seal with also the emperor's signature into it stating if i reclaim that place, my status will be elevated into barony and it will be my domain.
The shadevale valley had yet to develop and there's a lot of potential in it to grow with vast resources contained in it, though it was destroyed a decade ago and currently the city in it was in ruins, it's possible that the place was full of magic beasts and others monsters that resulted the downfall of the big city.
......
Even though Monster wave were frequently invading in the four passes, no one know were they came from and no one has got out of this prison-like continent in this planet.
King monsters rarely attack even if it took decades. Because they have infathomable strength, but two monster bosses is somehow a strange occurance. Base on the map, there are 4 direction that had a pass that each had a unique weather and also they were surrounded by 4 impassable mountain region that there were no records in nilfheim history that a single creature had crossed it much less, human. But the 4 mountains surrounding the whole alkaid continent were still mysterious as people who go their never came back, that's why they don't know what's up in the mountain and the lower part of the impassable mountains was a den of strong monster and many secret evil organizations.
That's why even though they were like in a cage or a prison.
The land of that the impassable mountain surrounds was considered as big as combined lands of
Asia of earth, and considering a whole continent trapped in a mountain formation.
If there is only one good thing is that, these monster except for the evil organization's and occult cannot go down from the lower part of the mountain or neither they could go up the height of the mountain and remained settle in the lower part of it and the place become a well known hunting spots, but these hunting spots is only in a place where in a dominion of the nation of monster doesn't stretch, there are many of this place much more, dungeons recently kept increasing in number and these dungeons can be spotted anywhere besides a mountain.
In the memories, evan agreed about it but in a condition. Felix needed to continue atleast 6 years of education. Until then, evan will arrange everything needed for an pioneering expedition. including manpower and resources. In the past 6 years, evan dedication and hardwork led the Skyrel Duchy to fully recover it's former strength. And Felix Spend 6 years at school while being supported by evan.
As a son of the duke, felix rarely experience discrimination or bullying except when the whole school knows his PDS, power dispersion syndrome.
Well, after reaching the age of 18, felix started to prepare anything necessary for the upcoming territorial reclamation of shadevale valley.
And Lina vestrad - Felix's loyal knight and a brigadier general of his expedition troops, she was a young talented commander and a magic swordsman with a battle force level of intermediate enhancement warrior or enhancement realm.
She has a blonde straight hair with a unique hairpin of flower and shield, and a blue eyes, she's her face was gorgeous but not as beautiful as a goddess but despite a woman, she has a strong physics and well-defined techniques and art of war.
She often wear helmet and full body armor in the battlefield which she was somehow getting mistaken as a man, but she would wore light armor when she's around felix.
She was from a family of knights that serves the Skyrel Family for a long time. lina was also Felix childhood friend who grew up together even when attending the school, Lina was Felix Aide who always stay by his side. She and felix were exactly the same age.
Her parents also died at the invasion in shadevale city, but she was adopted by the skyrel family and become felix attendant, even though she had a lot of potential joining the emperial knights, she still remains by felix side.
One reason is because of his family prestige and loyalty but there were also many reasons. She was also quite obedient, only to me. As i recall it in felix memory, whenever felix flirt at her, she will only get flustered, while her face was beet red. she seems like a cute cat when getting purred.
But if others did, i could only see how well deformed there faces is.
But she always wore a cold and dignified face infront of others unlike when felix and her was alone in a room, she show a gentle and warm personality.
But somehow she might have a tendency to be cold-blooded since she frequently trains in war with her master. She left my side to train after the duchy collapse and She just cameback with a different aura in her but, she's the same as always no matter how much she grows.
Somehow i feel lucky to have such a cheat character by my side the even if i just recently transmigrated, not only that she's too loyal to the owner of this body maybe i need to fully integrate this memory but there were just many to read, i know i can't fully read the informations in felix's memory in just one day, It'll take some time. In my journey forward to a tough future, I'll use her well.
[Felix Skyrel, 19 y/o, year 93 of gracian era, month 5, day 6, . In the temporary camp, kiltrant forest. ]
I woke up from my slumber after being struck unconscious by the flooding memories of the body. I suddenly saw a cute looking cat snoringly asleep beside my bed.
It wasn't actually a cat but Lina sometimes really behave like a cat when we were together, but she does turn into lioness when she's doing her role as a commanding leader of my small army.
Sooner, she wakes up. I spoke in a gentle tone.
"good morning"
She got flustered a bit and stood up while she shyly replied.
"g-good morning young master, how do you feel, does it still hurt"
I smile a bit and replied,
"yeah, I'm fine Lina"
And suddenly Lina bow down in a respectfully and apologetic manner.
"please punish this subordinate, i have failed my duty as a knight to protect her master, im ashame of myself"
I was quite taken aback to what she said, but i find her quite cute when i see her reflecting on her mistakes.
'I'm not your master though'
As felix, i need to act as natural as possible. I replied in acceptance on her apology.
"I'll overlook it this time, but you can't do the same mistakes in the future or else I'll possibly die. But I'm alright now you don't have to worry" i smiled and patted her head. She was like an obedient cat who always listen to her owner.
"I-I'll do my best! I will protect young master from the best of my ability and follow your order as your knight."
"good, looks like the pain in my head subsided, can you help me explore the camp and familiarize the people here, my memory is a little fuzzy, and can you call me 'milord' instead, i feel like the way you call me is a little embarrasing"
" alright milord" then she continued "milord, are you really alright? But your still injured why not rest a little."
"im fine, im fine. Just take me outside i want to know the situation there" i persistently said.
"b-but your injur-"
I made my voice cold and scary in a domineering tone "Are you going to help me... or not?" then i change it back to being a gentle voice with a smile "don't worry, I'll be fine."
turning my voice cold like I'm threatening someone is one of my persuasion technique, i learn it when i was watching my superior in the final defense army interrogating troublemaking terrorist. I'm just testing it out, I hope lina won't take it at heart.
She flinched but she resigned questioning my health status though it didn't waver her beliefs and affection towards me, which is a relief, it only made her fall in love to me more, which is more troublesome, she spoke in return.
"Yes! I'll do what milord commands" she started to move. i slowly stood up from my bed and i followed her outside the tent guiding me.
