As Cliff and the rest walk towards Ace Catherine asks "Dad what is Emperor's will", the others also nod to affirm their curiosity. " You do know that every living creature has a will, the will allows these creatures to have differences in their way of life, their intelligence, their roles in society and many aspects in the daily life. Thanks to wills we have humans excelling in different fields. We have the chosen few who are able to make use of their wills physically. According to history there are three known wills that have been discovered" Cliff let's it sink in and then continues " we have the most common type among the chosen few which is inspection will which they use to observe their surroundings and can be trained to an extent they can spy on someone who is several kilometers away from them the range differs from person to person the we have Ordnance will whose users can manifest their will physically as an amour to defend themselves, they can also coat their weapons with their will Increasing the leathality of their weapons and lastly the rarest of the wills the Emperor's will in which the users can exert their wills on other creatures and people, the users are mostly found in high positions in society "
The others are left speechless after the lengthy explanation until Catherine asks " You are saying that people with will manifestations are rare that they are called chosen ones, so how rare are the people with these wills you've mentioned". Cliff grins before answering " one in a million people you can find an inspection will user, one in a billion people you will find an Ordnance will user and one in a trillion people you can find an Emperor's will user that's how rare they are."
After stating so Cliff walks hastly towards Ace leaving the girls stunned.
"You are quite dangerous, I'd not want you as an enemy" Cliff says as he pats Ace's shoulder.
" Do you want to be my enemy?!!!" Ace teases. Cliff shivers as cold sweat runs down his spine then he shouts " I'd not want a monster like you as an enemy. I could tell you were holding back against my soldiers, I don't want to imagine what it is like to be on the receiving end of your attacks when you go all out"
Ace smiles then they decide to sit down for a meal while they wait for the soldiers to wake up. They have an harmonious meal as Catherine and Lilian shyly steal a few glances at Ace's face. After the meal Captain Morgan regains consciousness looks dispirited, he looks around at his soldiers that have began regaining their consciousness with determined look that says he's going to train them harshly. Then he looks in the direction of Ace and his lord then he speaks" so we were defeated overwhelmingly huh???" Then Cliff and the others nod in affirmation.
Ten minutes later all soldiers are already up and most of them don't even remember what happened to them and bow their heads ashamed of themselves.
They head back to the city as soon as the soldiers treat the injured then pack up their belongings. When they get to the city the sun is already setting as the soldiers head to their barracks and Ace, Lord Cliff and the girls head to the lord's mansion for their dinner.
" So what is the third Condition Lord Cliff" Ace inquires.
" The third Condition I was thinking of won't do since I found out you are an Anderson, there is no way I can ask you to serve the Alvion house." Cliff says " What do you guys think I should ask him to do"
Catherine and Lilian who are present start to ponder over what they should ask for then Catherine matters absentmindedly " Maybe he knows of a way to treat my mother" silence ensues in the room.
" That's a good idea, the magic spells he was using casually in that mock battle were quite high level." Lilian supports
" I can try as long as I see lady Alvion to determine her condition." Ace states.
*************
In the master bedroom in Alvion lord's mansion Ace, Cliff, Catherine and Lilian are standing at the bedside of a beautiful woman with features similar to Catherine but with a more mature charm. She is placed under a vegetative state due to her condition and is provided nutrition through an injection on her veins at the left hand. ( An innovation of Eve Anderson)
[Body check] Ace mutters an incantation to check what condition the lady Alvion has and yellowish light envelopes Lady Alvion, soon finds the cause of her illness to be manifestation of microorganisms in the lungs showing that the lady is suffering from Red death.
[Body Cleanse] Ace mutters as a green light envelopes the Lady's body eliminating the microorganisms in her lungs then he cancels the vegetative state she is in and soon lady Alvion opens her eyes feeling strangely refreshed.
