Max was happy to hear about the royal library he couldn't wait to visit it and learn more about the history of the world.
As they were travelling together the Duke and max formed a great bond, when Max asked the Duke about the king the Duke didn't deny his request instead answered them.
The Duke tolded max that the king of the Vincent Empire Arthur von Vincent was a great and noble man ,the Duke was a childhood friend of the king in his younger days when he used to live in the royal capital city, he used to go the royal academy with the King. As they were similar in age they both became great friends.
The king was someone who is crowned early due to the death of his father the previous king,when they both were in the third year of the royal academy the king had died and Prince are there had to take position of the king of the Vincent Empire as the sole heir of the king .
Even after becoming the king he attend the academy, but there was a huge change in him after becoming the king, he was always looking dull, he studied more than anyone else he trained more than anyone else day and night he practiced to become a worthy king.
Even with such huge burdens on him he never became arrogant he still cherished his friends and family. Even though he smiled in front of his friends but he still always had a gloomy expression on his face.
As a Duke was his best friend he was always able to rely on him but after the fourth year of the academy they graduated, after the graduation they both had to take their position as the king of the Empire and as the Duke of the Empire.
Hearing those words max thought that, he always use to think that his sufferings were the worst and had to take responsibility for himself from a small age, but when he thought about the king Arthur that he was still a young man when he had to take responsibility for not only himself but for the whole empire and its people.
The king was a man for admiration..
On the way the Duke was having fun with max and Albert, suddenly a huge wave of monsters attacked the carriage . When they saw out of the window what they saw was something very horrible it was an undead army. Seeing an army of undead in middle of the path the Duke was sure that it was an attack from necromancer.
The Duke rushed out of the carriage. He pressed at a button on his cloak and surprisingly a bright white light came out from the button it was an special artifact the moment the Duke press the button his shining golden armour was on him, the Duke shined brightly wearing the armour slicing through the army of the undead.
Undead monsters are a staple of fantasy literature and games. They are often depicted as being created through the use of dark magic, such as necromancy. Necromancers are practitioners of this dark art, and they use it to raise the dead and create undead minions to do their bidding. There are many different types of undead monsters in fantasy, ranging from zombies and skeletons to more powerful creatures like liches.
Necromancers use black magic to summon these creatures from the afterlife and bind them to their will. They can also create undead minions by animating corpses with their dark powers. While necromancy is a powerful tool, it comes with a heavy price. The use of black magic can corrupt the soul and lead to madness and death.
The necromancers are believers of the demon god,even though it is said that they are none left, Max was surprised to see necromancer,he thought that they were inhuman they used bodies of the dead as they pleased.
Max was angry but he knew that even is now he has a super human physique, and can fight multiple people at once but undead are not something he can deal with, as they do not possess mind of their own they do not fear death and even though Max had and powerful body but he didn't have any actual skills to fight against monsters.
Max felt terrible after seeing himself be so helpless. Albert was terribly shocked and scared he holded on Max clothes tightly, his whole body was shivering with fear.
Suddenly and undead started hitting the carriage door, seeing Albert scared Max couldn't think of anything else except of using himself as a human shield to save Albert.
He wasn't able to see what was happening outside the carriage his mind was going blank.
Max was fully prepared to give everything to save Albert . He decided to open the door of the carriage and attract the undead towards him away from the carriage the moment he opened the door he was surprised to see a long sword cutting through the undead in two parts.
It was the Duke who splitted the undead in a single slash. Max felt as if he was released from a huge stress ,he lost control of his body and was Falling down but the Duke holded him in his hands and prevented him from falling.Seeing the duke shine brightly Max had a single thought , he thought of becoming like the Duke one day he also wanted to become a hero.
A person who others could look up to and rely on.The Duke hugged both max and Albert and praised max for his bravery.He even got angry at Max for opening the gate of the carriage and rushing out like that .
The necromancers were caught they were sealed using restriction magic and were kept under the supervision of the guard knights.
Although the day was not something good but max felt happy to see the Duke care for him,he looked like a father figure who was protecting his son ,he rememberd the Duke's scolding like how a parent would nag at their own child,he had an great sleep that night.
While sleeping max had an dream of his childhood,he rememberd Those bad time when he had to face cruel fate,the times he starved,the time he was beaten up for stealing food.the painful memories of seeing others enjoy with their family while working day and night.
Suddenly in his dreams when he was surrounded by pitch darkness,he was pulled away by a bright light he saw all the people who cherished him,he was not alone anymore,he had a family.
A family in another world....
