Right after the two royals gave their signals both the armies ran towards the other. Lucas drew his blade and ran a bit more in front of the army with Aslaug trailing behind him. The soldiers behind the two were surprised at their speed while Lucas's focus was on the army in front of him.'He's faster than when he fought me. Of course I'm holding back on my strength but he is still quite fast.' Aslaug thought to herself as she noted his speed.A few metres away from the two Olivia was also running but she was holding a spear while the sword he had used for the signal was sheathed. She was also quite fast as she was also a bit more in front of the army with her teacher Andvaranaut trailing behind. The two of them caught sight of Lucas and Aslaug running in front of the army as well.'He's very fast and his female knight is as well. It was a good decision to include them in this part of our army.' Olivia thought to herself as she turned her attention to the opposing army.Olivia was wea
"So do you understand what you have to do?" Lucas asked as he looked at an armored knight standing in front of him.It was easy to know that the knight is female due to her armor, and another fact that can be easily noted was that she is shorter than him. She was fully covered in her armor so seeing her face and body isn't an option."Yes." The knight said whose voice belonged to Aslaug."Good, I want to keep your existence a secret. Who knows what the other people will do when they learn that a demigoddess is amongst them." Lucas said to her."Is that why you made me wear this armor?" Aslaug asked him in an annoyed tone."Precisely, the people can't see your face under the armor and more so because you're a young woman. And you know how women are treated in the army don't you?" Lucas asked her."Tch! Yes, I am well aware of how women are seen as not fit for battle." Aslaug said with distaste."Look, I know you don't like it but this is the way you have to fight. Just keep sure to not
Lucas expected many things when he made his way to the commander's tent, but what he didn't expect was for the princess of the Kingdom to also be present in the tent which caused him to be surprised. He saw that the princess herself is in armor as a sword is hanging from the left side of her hip like his own sword. She is wearing quite an extravagant armor which was mainly silver in colour. She was wearing pants or something similar as she also wore armor which was similar to him.Her armor was primarily silver with red highlights, it covers her breasts, shoulders, knees, forearms and back. She looked like a warrior princess in that armor and it seems that she has decided to forgo her Tiara as her hair fell free on her back. Lucas also noticed that the amount of people in the tent were also great which wasn't that surprising since this is the commander's tent.The tent has much space and there was a table in the middle which has the map of the two kingdoms. The commander which he thi
Lucas and Aslaug reached another house in the city. Lucas didn't want to make his parents aware of the existence of Aslaug and his other identity so he took her to another house he owns. He had changed into civilian attire before he came to the city but made sure that none would recognise him. He reached the house and entered it with Aslaug following him. He has given her a cloak to wear so that people won't see her face. The cloak was also ragged to make it seem like she is poor."Finally I can get rid of this thing." Aslaug said as she threw away the cloak."You don't have to act like that for a cloak." Lucas said to her."Hmph, making someone of my status wear something like that would be more than enough to warrant punishment." Aslaug said with a glare."Maybe, but I don't have time for that. I have to return to my home so that my parents don't get suspicious." Lucas said to her."Whatever. So what am I supposed to do?" Aslaug asked him with a frown."You must stay here in this h
The girl had a bewildered look on her face as she saw the tip of the blade being pointed at her neck while Lucas sat on her stomach making it difficult for her to move. She had found many other humans and she had managed to defeat them but now she had just lost to another human."So, can we talk like civil people miss demigoddess?" Lucas asked her after she didn't reply the first time.The girl grit her teeth as she glared at him when she heard that but then sighed before looking at him."Fine, we can talk." The girl said to him."Great." Lucas said with a smile as he stood up but it couldn't be seen due to the scarf.He sheathed his sword and then showed his hand to her. The girl looked at the hand confused before looking at him. He gestured to his hand and she slowly grabbed it. Lucas then pulled her up and let her hand go. He then turned around and sat on a rock and beckoned her to sit at the rock beside him. The girl huffed before she made her way to the rock and sat on it. After
Lucas glared at the demigoddess as he stopped her attack as he was pushed a bit backward by the force of the attack. While the demigoddess herself was surprised that he blocked it.'He blocked my attack. And at the speed he reacted to it. He seems to have good training.' The demigoddess thought to herself.She then jumped backwards and stood on the ground before charging at Lucas. She did a wide swing from the left but Lucas managed to block it as well. He then attacked her which she blocked with the broad side of her blade. She grit her teeth when she blocked it.'Hmm, he is strong as well. Guess I shall use my true strength against him.' She thought as she jumped back making distance between the two of them."Rejoice mortal, for I shall use my true strength against you." The girl declared to him."Oh really? Let's see then." Lucas said as he got ready.'So she was holding back after all. Let's see how strong she actually is.' Lucas thought seriously.The demigoddess smiled and then
Lucas was currently running through the forest northwest of the Norwegian region. He is currently wearing black clothes with a trench coat type coat and a hood over his head and a black scarf covering his mouth and nose as he is using magic to increase his speed. He used the shadows formed by the trees as cover as he ran until he reached a secluded part of forest.The northwestern region of Norway was mainly dominated by forests so there wasn't much jurisdiction from the royal family in the area. But Lucas was quite careful as he didn't want anyone to know about him being here. But he has more leeway now due to the war about to start in the horizon. The cave which is the reason for the tension between the two kingdoms was also a few kilometres south of the place.Lucas kept on running until he stopped when he saw glimpses of a lake from between the trees. He then started to slowly make his way to the lake as he stuck to the shadows and made sure to not make a sound. He slowly made his
After the prince of Sweden proclaimed war on the country of Norway both the kingdoms were preparing for the war. It wasn't lost to anyone in the two kingdoms that things will be very serious and if they weren't careful it will lead to their downfall. The royal family of Norway, the Ascheberg's had already started preparing the moment they sent the letter knowing that the prideful prince would wage war on them. Many of the knights were called from both the kingdom to prepare for the war as neither royal family wanted to lose to the other, cause it is now a matter of pride to them.As for Lucas himself, since the war was considered in his plans he wasn't that surprised. Instead he has also started making his own preparations for the war. There are quite a few perks for having the maturity and intelligence of a 20 year old from birth. He could easily pick out the things he wanted to do since he was a child and has gained tremendously from it. He is quite sure that he is one of the most sk
