Laston was in tears as he read the letter, he griped the letter and said out loud "I swear on every fiber of my being I will hunt down every single one of them that has a hand in your death" .........................................................................
In a well-furnished room with different ornament and sculpture, a man could be seen on a king size bed that could easily fit four grown men.
Lying on this bed was none other than commander Nax, who had just been attended to by a healer, he was in deep thought as he opened his eyes and tears could be seen in them.
Then they suddenly turned blood shot, "I will avenge you by all cost, even if it means to start a civil war!!! I must avenge you Lincon"!!! ...............
"Well, we have to make a plan if you intend to avenge him, at this point you are very weak, running head first into the capital will get you killed for sure".
Already you should know that you're a potential target, if it's found out that you are affiliated with your father you will be in danger.
In fact, you're a walking target so we have to choose between entering a clan or entering the military academy as soon as possible, but you have to learn the bypass thought matrix.
We will be leaving this village because there is nothing here at least not anymore.
Another pressing matter is that we have to leave this wealth your father left behind, carrying it around would be dangerous for us, I have a storage pouch but that can only store two bags of coin and they are about 10 of them here.
Laston then said "we will take what is needed and bury the ones that are not needed for the time being, we will take the talisman and the two bags containing silver and gold coins, the amour set would attract unnecessary attention and we don't need that right now".
"You're catching pretty fast for a beginner" as he said this, he smacked Laston,
"Then lets head for the next village" he said as he poured the bags of coins into the storage pouch, which was actually a gift, gifted to him by his late parents before they died, at least what was left of their sliced corpse.
before they left for the next village, they both carried the box to the valley nearest to the village and dug exactly 20 feet below the ground and buried the box.
After that they both prepared to leave the village, just at the exit of the village they both stared at each other released deep breaths and started their journey towards the nearest village.
They walked for about two hours straight without altering a single word, it got to the point Laston brows began to twitch.
He then broke the long-lasting silence and said, "how long do you intend to keep silent, I thought you were going to give me a briefing on the plan".
"Well, I thought you were building your resolve, with that look you had on your face, so I decided to leave you until you are done" Lynx said with a smirk on his face.
"Well, I'm done building my resolve" Laston said as his brows were visibly twitching, Lynx then smiled, "I know you were the lousy type".
Well, when we enter the village, you shouldn't do anything to attract attention to yourself.
Firstly, our village is not very current on recent trend, so the moment we get into the village we are bound to attract attention from our appearance alone.
So, the moment we step foot into the village, we are to change our clothing and go find an inn to stay, or!? "I will go find were to stay while you go find the pillar of your thought bypass matrix".
And that, happens to be the only thing holding us back.
Laston then asked, "how long until we reach the next village"
Lynx then replied, "if we continue to walk at this rate and Pace, we will be there in two days-time, but if we sprint with our current speed, we will be there in the next fourteen hours or so, so by which means do you intend to travel?
Fifty miles away or rather in front of the entrance of the village an entourage of fourteen horsemen could be seen approaching a village, they paid their dues and entered the village a young lady who was in the carriage asked one of the horsemen, "why the wait"?
The horseman then bowed, "lady Barina we had to pay the entrance fee since we are not to attract much attention here".
Barina then face palmed and replied, "why would that old man choose to stay here of all places, a filthy fourth-tier village".
When The horseman heard this statement, he didn't reply to lady Barina. daddy obviously wants to stay away from the politics of the nation she thought inwardly.
"You can return to your duty post"
The horse man then returned to his duty post. After the guard at the entrance of the village were done checking the items on lady Barina's people they were allowed to enter the village.
They paid the ranch men that were close to the gate, to take care of the horses and the carriage, after that they proceeded to disguise themselves as travelers then entered the village.
They walked through the busy district and stopped at a secluded area that was located at the extreme west of the village.
Suddenly they saw a cabin, then lady Barina then walked to the cabin door, but before she could knock, an old man who looked to be in his late 50s open the door and hugged her, it was so fast that he could she could not react.
He was so over joyed that he carried her princess style into the cabin, then gestured the horse men to come, but they nodded their head in disapproval.
"Suit yourself" said the old man who they knew as Lord Baron, brother to the King.
Lady Barina could be seen with hint of redness on her face due to embarrassment, but alas nothing could be done, for the man currently carrying her was her father.
"So how have my little girl been" said lord Baron.
"Dad you're embarrassing me" lady Barina said in a muffled voice.
After that, lord baron took her into the cabin and put her on the ground, "Dad you don't have to do that every time I come to visit"
"But I miss you, or don't you miss me" said Lord baron
"I do" lady Barina responded.
At that moment lord baron demeanor had a one eighty degree turn, he then said "Barina you only visit me once every three months, so why do you come all the way out here"
"Well, I came to enroll for the military academy in the Royal capital"
When lord baron heard this, he seemed not to be happy, he then said, "you decided to serve the royal family even when you are a royal yourself what does that tell the world about me!"
He said as he slowly raised his voice, and his aura skyrocketed.
Lady Barina then took a step back, when Lord Baron saw the fear in her eyes, he came back to his sense, then redrew his aura and everything became tranquil.
Once the aura went away, one of the horsemen outside then said inwardly, "thank goodness we didn't enter the cabin if we did, one or two heads would have been detached from our necks before he calms down".
Inside the cabin lady Barina looked at her father with a smile, "don't worry I'm not scared, at least not anymore, I'm not going there to work under the royal family am going to undergo training".
"But I can teach you everything you need to know" said Lord Baron.
"True, but I want to get to experience life as a student, under the royal military academy, it won't be difficult for me after all, am royalty".
And my comprehension is not on the same level as those commoners, it will be a walk in the park.
lord baron then said, "only your spiritual energy is trained, don't go out there and get humiliated by a commoner"
"You know that can't be possible Dad."
"Just don't underestimate them, some of them have potential even more than some royals"
"Okay daddy" said lady Barina.
Lord baron then asked "why do you want to get strong and powerful so badly".
"That's because I don't want anybody to ever look down at me"
I don't want to be acknowledged because of your achievements, rather I want to have my own achievements and be acknowledged because of my own achievements.
Lord baron then said, "I know this is all connected to me somehow, but I have changed, I was blinded by power"
"Well, that didn't change my childhood, and for the record she still loves you, once in a while make sure to go see her, and dad, stop living in this cramped up village".
Once again Lord Byron demeanor changed, taking a 180 degree turn.
"Well, I would try to make up for my past, I will be traveling back to the northern region, I intend to stay with her and try to make it up to her.
You have to be careful in the royal capital don't trust anyone no matter what.
"Never think ill of the royal family in the presence of any high-ranking authority, they are mages with ability to intrude into ones thought, so you are never to think ill of them do you understand.
"Yes! so, Dad where would I be staying"
"Well, two rooms were not included in the planned structure of this cabin, and besides you never stayed over in your previous visits.
I mean I never thought anyone would come looking for me, or stay to the extent of staying with me, this Cabin only has one room, but look at the bright side of it, it gives us time to do some catching up, more like father-daughter bonding.
"No way in hell Will I share a room with you pervert" said Barina in a loud voice.
"Are you calling your father a pervert? mind you I know every corner of your body".
"You see! pervert this what I'm talking about, that was then not now" she said as she gestured toward her body with her hands.
We will find an inn in this village and spend the week before heading for the Royal capital, Barina said as she was heading for the door, "gu gu gu good luck good luck" said lord Baron in a low voice.
On her way to the door she stopped, and ran toward lord baron and hugged him, then said, "if you were like this from the beginning maybe things wouldn't have turned out the way it did".
"Bye Daddy" she said that she left the cabin, He has changed I just hope it's for the better, if he was always like this then they won't be a problem she thought inwardly.
