Lucas read the book in his hand as he drank some tea in his mansion. After the spar with Aslaug, he thought that this is a good moment to relax for a bit. Which is why Aslaug and Kriemhild are also relaxing with him at the garden of his mansion, surrounded by the shrubbery of the family. He is quite proud of the garden that they have as it is very beautiful to look at and gives a serene aura to the mansion which he is happy about, as he can feel at least in them. Though that doesn't mean that he is about to let down his guard, that's a fool's way of thinking, even if he is in his mansion, he isn't about to let his guard down. Something that Aslaug and Kriemhild knows as they are also on guard, a sentiment he appreciates from them. "So, just how strong are you? You can break the ground with your strength, move faster than most men, and can also use a rare form of magic as well. Just how did you achieve such strength?" Kriemhild asked him as she looked at him curiously. She had
Lucas slashed the air in front of him with his sword as a wind blade was generated due to the force in which he had swung his weapon. Aslaug in retaliation also swung her sword and created a wind blade which collided with his own as the two destroyed each other. The girl then dashed towards him and traded quick and powerful blows with him as she used her slimmer and more flexible body to attack him while Lucas himself also used his strength to his advantage and used powerful strikes to stagger her back and block her attacks. The bodies of men and women are quite difficult, with men having an advantage in muscular strength and endurance, while women have an advantage in flexibility and speed due to how their bodies are made. Of course, should a person train hard enough then they will be able to bridge the gap between the two genders, but the base strength of both sexes would most likely be the same. Though it also depends on how the person chooses to live as well. Of course, as a d
Lucas left the throne room and met with his parents and then went on his their way to their home. His parents asked her about what the king wanted to discuss with him and he told them about how the king wanted to promote their rank in the hierarchy. "That's wonderful news." Agnes said with a smile when she heard that. "Indeed. With the goodwill of the king, our clan will be more powerful and influential as well." Leif said with a smile on his face. "I know father. With this our clan will also gain more power and prominence amongst the nobility after all." Lucas said to him with a smile on his face. "Yes, and I will be able to commence some of my own plans if that happens." Leif said with a thoughtful look. "What plans?" Lucas asked him curiously. "To increase the comfortable living conditions for the people in our territory. If the people are happy with how their life is, then they will also support us as well. The commoners already like you my son, and if we were to help
The princess and the nobleman smiled at each other as they praised the other for their battle prowess as they smiled at the praise they got from the other. "By the way, did the court mage say anything else before he left this room?" Olivia asked him curiously as she wondered what the mage had said to him. "He said that he wished to teach me in the art of magic, so that I will have more versatility in the future." Lucas said to her as he remembered the words of the man. "Hmm, I suppose that is what he would want. I have been hearing about the court mage thinking about finding his successors since he is growing older and soon he will have to find someone to take his place to serve the kingdom." Olivia said as she looked at him as he looked at her in turn. "I suppose. Having an option available would be beneficial for him. But I am also a member of the Larsen clan, and I'm also the only son, it might cause problems for me if he decides to make me his successor, as I will have to
Lucas was finished writing the spells and how to use them on the paper that he was given as the court mage was watching him write the spells on it as he also tried to memorize the spells that he saw being written. After half an hour, Lucas was done writing the necessary amount of spells and rules as he looked at them. He nodded to himself in his mind before he gave them to the court mage who took them and read through them as his eyes widened at them. "Incredible. So these are the spells for the Space Magic. To think I would be able to gaze at such valuable knowledge." The Court mage said with wide eyes as he looked at the papers and then at Lucas. "I am glad to see that my knowledge is of use to the kingdom." Lucas said to him with a small smile on his face. "I have to thank you as well, Lord Lucas. If it were not for you, then I wouldn't have been able to know about such a spell. A shame that you weren't able to learn everything from your Master." The court mage said to him wi
"Now, for the contributions you and your father had done for the kingdom in the war, the standing of clan Larsen will be lifted to a higher rank in our hierarchy." Arvid said to him seriously."I am happy to hear that your majesty." Lucas said with a bow to the king."And as for you, due to your contributions it has been decided that you will be awarded with a specialised magical armament, crafted using the finest of materials in our lands and enchanted with great magic." Arvid said to him seriously as he looked at him."Such a reward is something that I will be happy to obtain my king." Lucas said to him with a bow at that.'That is great. A specifically made magical armament for myself to use.' Lucas thought to himself as he schooled his features."That is wonderful to hear. However, there is still something that we wish to know about." Arvid said as he looked at him."What would that be your highness?" Lucas asked as he looked at the king with a confused face."Our court mage had l
"I gotta say though, lady Olivia is a pretty powerful warrior." Lucas said to the girls surrounding him with a practiced smile on his face.After the King and Queen appeared and Olivia stood with them while he was surrounded by the other noble girls as they wanted to talk with him again as he made sure to entertain them while making sure to leave important details.He has also seen Olivia glancing at him while he was talking with the girls but she would look away when she knows that he is looking at her, it was a bit amusing for him to see that.The party ended and so the nobles were leaving the castle and his family was the same as they were moving away, until a knight came to them and stopped them."Excuse me, the king wishes for Lord Lucas Larsen to come to meet with him." The knight said to them in a respective tone."Of course, my son will be there." Leif said with a nod at that.He then turned to look at his son and gestured for him to go with the knight as Lucas nodded in retur
"By the way, what was the magic you had used?" Olivia asked him curiously as she remembered that fact."I'd rather not talk about it when there are so many people here." Lucas said to her in a hushed tone as he looked at her."Ah right, that." Olivia said as she nodded in understanding.She knew that despite his status many of the nobles might covet his power and not to mention the fact that if that information went to some unsavory hands then it might be problematic for one Lucas Larsen, something which the kingdom doesn't need to have.Even if others have seen his magic work, they don't know the principles in which the magic works, and that makes him a wildcard of sorts. Which also makes him dangerous in the eyes of their enemies and she is sure that he would be at the top priority for them. Considering his strength they would be wary of him the most which can be used to their advantage.'Okay, I need to stop thinking about strategy for a moment and just enjoy the party.' Olivia th
After Olivia had walked past those doors and stood in front of all of her people, she could see the stares of all of them, both men and women, those of her same age as well. Her parents would also appear after fifteen minutes since they wanted their daughter to have the centre stage for some time.She felt the stares of the men and could feel many of the young nobles looking at her in awe, but she could also feel lust from their eyes as well. It was something she could feel after she gained a sense for it, courtesy of being under the gaze of many such noble boys her age in various parties.She could also feel the gaze of the adults as well and many of the men also held gazes of desires as they looked at him. She knew that it was because of her beauty, something she knew very well as many had complimented her for it.As for the girls, many were awed by her, but she could also see that some were jealous, some looking at themselves in doubt while others were just looked at her in awe of
