Azov Kingdom, Hartmann Barony

On the parade ground, the air was filled with the rhythmic shouts of young men in knight armor. Their voices rose in unison as they were constantly moving in synchronization, shaking the whole ground. Their faces were full of determination, with bodies drenched in sweat.

They were the young eagles of the Baron of Hartmann, each striving to awaken their life seed and step onto the path of knighthood.

Under the strict rules set by Baron Felipe, they were training hard to awaken their own life seed before the age of 18. If they could not awaken the life seed, they would be sent to surrounding towns to be militiamen. 

This is not a fate they could tolerate.

However, not everyone would succeed in awakening their life seed. Some were simply not destined to become knights.

But all these things had nothing to do with Luis, who was looking at the reserve knights who were practicing.

At the age of 14, he has already awakened his life seed and broke through the realm of apprentice knight.

Although he was looking at the practicing reserve knight, his thought was elsewhere.

'Why is this Vortex still not activated?' Luis looked at the mysterious vortex in his body.

Luis actually has a secret. He is a transmigrator who traveled to this western fantasy world.

He is the eldest son of Baron Felipe Hartmann. He had great talent in everything since he was born in this world. 

He can learn everything quickly, and as the eldest son of the baron who will inherit the barony, he has been given a lot of resources for his path of knighthood.

Luis began to officially train at the age of 13, and in just half a year he awakened his life seed entering the realm of apprentice knight.

With this, he was hailed as the strongest genius of new generation in Hartmann Family.

"Move"

"Left"

"Halt"

Knight Commander Oliver was shouting with his voice full of command. He was looking around with dangerous eyes, observing if anyone was making any mistakes.

"Right"

"Left"

"..."

"End"

Hearing the end command, all the young eagles of Hartmann took off their knight helmet with collective sighs, their faces full of exhaustion and gasping for air.

Some were sitting cross-legged, trying to see if they could awaken life seed at this moment.

Luis however walked out of the group and headed toward Knight Commander Oliver.

"Uncle, I will be heading towards the castle. I want to visit the back garden." Luis was very familiar with Oliver, as he was his uncle.

Oliver smiled and waved him off with a teasing look.

"Oh! Does little Luis still want to see the fairy?"

"Yes, uncle, she is an interesting little thing and i want to see her awakening," Luis grinned and told with some excitement in his eyes.

"Alright, alright, go on then," Oliver waved him off, his attention returning to the young men on the parade ground.

With a nod, Luis excused himself and began walking towards the castle.

Looking at Luis, who was walking away, Oliver couldn't help but glance back.

'The Hartmann family will rise even higher now,' he thought to himself. 'A tiger father really gave birth to a tiger son. And with the fairy... the family's future is brighter than ever.'

Luis slowly reached the castle and approached the back garden. 

'When will the vortex even open' Looking inside his sea of consciousness, there was a mysterious vortex. According to his memory, it was a vortex that could make him travel to a completely different world.

However, It was dormant and has not shown any sign of opening, since he transmigrated. He has been waiting for 14 years in anticipation, but all he got was disappointment.

No matter how much he meditated or tried to trigger it, nothing had worked. It seems that this vortex needs a special condition to open. As these thought circled his mind, he reached towards the back garden.

The sight of the blooming flowers greeted him, and his worries began to fade. He breathed in deeply, letting the sweet scent of the flowers calm his restless heart.

'I'll figure it out soon enough,' he thought while comforting himself 'There's no rush.'

Looking at the scenery around the garden, his heart couldn't help but be peaceful. There were rows of flowers in different shades—deep crimson roses, soft lavender lilacs, and bright yellow daisies—that were swaying gently in the warm breeze.

He didn't know why, but looking at these natural scenes, his heart always calmed down. 

"Young Master," a voice called out for him from behind.

Luis turned to see and it was the gardener Biggs. An old guy who has been in barony since the time of his grandfather.

"Oh Biggs, you are here. I just want to see if the fairy has awakened."

Fairies are the special creatures of this world. They seemed to be favored by this world, as they can turn decay into magic.

The fairies have abilities to make normal crops into magic plants and give bumper harvests for ordinary corps. For a family like the Hartmann's, these fairies were invaluable.

The only shortcoming of fairy is that they have a shorter lifespan, with only 10 years. They can have 100 years of lifespan if they can become big fairies, but that is too hard.

"Not yet, Young Master," Biggs replied, shaking his head.

"The fairy is still in sleep, but it shouldn't be much longer now."

"Ok, Biggs, I will wait a little longer," Luis nodded before turning back to the garden and enjoying the beautiful scenery.

As he stood there enjoying the peaceful environment, he hoped that he could make the Hartmann family as peaceful as this beautiful garden in this dangerous world.
