Eric threw the glass of alcohol across the room as it shattered after hitting the wall as the four maids who were serving him flinched from the violent action as they looked at him with slight fear. But the prince himself didn't care about their reactions as he had a pissed off expression as he glared at the wall.

"My reputation has been tarnished and that damned boy is hailed as a hero!" Eric shouted in anger as the maids flinched again from his loud voice.

After the end of the war, Eric's reputation in the kingdom had plummeted, no surprise that it has happened of course, as it was him who had decided to start the war with the other country.

And their country has lost the war and was humiliated and lost two dragons under their control. And have also been shown to be inferior to their enemy, which has hurt the sentiments of many of the country as well.

The other noble families of the kingdom were also of the same mind as they didn't like the fact that they had been defeated, but the public opinion about the prince has also decreased due to it and the word about Lucas's fighting skill and power are known throughout the country.

And many in the kingdom were shocked at the power the man wielded and were also in awe at the fact that he had fought against two dragons while riding a wyvern and killing them. Killing dragons was of course, an event that was usually seen in myths and legends, and there has already been a few songs being created in both kingdoms regarding the man.

And Eric absolutely hated it. He loathed Lucas with all his might as he knew that the reason the war had ended so quickly was because of the presence of the man and that they would've won the war with the use of the two dragons if he wasn't present.

But now, because of the fact that the boy was there, he lost the two dragons under his kingdom's control, their armies lost to the enemy kingdom, his reputation has plummeted due to instigating the war, and word amongst the nobles aren't in favour towards him.

All in all, Eric wanted to get revenge with Lucas, but he didn't know what he would be able to do to the man, which is why he is drinking so much and also why the maids were scared, as they didn't know whether he would attack and hit them in his anger or not.

He grabbed another glass of alcohol and drank it quickly as the maid quickly went and filled it again as he emptied it inside his stomach as he let out a breath of air as he glared at the cup with a flushed face as he grinded his teeth as the maids looked at him in fear.

"Leave me alone." Eric said to them in a commanding voice as the maids flinched again.

"Yes my prince." The maids said in unison before they filed out of his room and closed the door behind them.

After they left he reclined on the soft couch that he was sitting on as he looked out of the balcony into the sky as he felt his anger as he grit his teeth and sat there. He watched the sky and glared at it, as if his glare would do anything as he thought about Lucas.

"I'm make him suffer. Even if it's the last thing I do." Eric said with anger and through gritted teeth as he thought about the man.

He is a member of royalty and as such is in a higher level than the nobles. And yet, a boy born to a noble house has the audacity to fight against him and humiliate him in front of his army and his people and bring shame upon his family and himself.

He will not stand it. He will find a way to get his revenge on the boy, no matter what happens and he will make sure that the boy will regret ever daring to stand against him. And he will not show any mercy to him and make him woe the day he was born.

'But what? I could ask the court mage but they also have one as well and I don't know if that boy is hiding anything else he can use. If only I can get something that can help with my revenge.' Eric thought to himself as he growled in anger.

He hated feeling like he couldn't do anything to the brat. No one who dares to stand against him and insults his pride gets to walk away freely, and yet that boy did. And it has been grating on his nerves ever since.

As he was thinking, his eyes widened when a cloaked man suddenly appeared on his balcony as he blinked in confusion.

'Did I start to hallucinate after drinking so much?' Eric thought to himself as he looked at the figure with narrowed eyes.

"I assure you that you are not hallucinating." The figure said in a male voice catching him off guard.

Eric's eyes widened immediately when he heard the voice from the figure as he realised that he isn't hallucinating as he immediately stood up from the couch as he looked at the figure.

"Who are you?" Eric asked as he was ready to shout for the guards.

"I am here because I want to help you." The cloaked figure said to him in a calm voice.

"Help me?" Eric asked with a raised eyebrow.

"I know that you wish to get revenge against the man who had defeated this great country in the war. And I also wish to see his death as well. I thought that it would be best if the two of us joined forces against him." The man said to him as he stood at his place.

"You also wish to see his defeat?" Eric asked him as he kept his gaze on the man.

"Of course. That boy had interfered and caused problems for me and I wish to make him pay for it." The man said to him with a nod.

"Then why didn't you do so yourself? If you have enough power to suddenly appear here then you can probably take care of him." Eric said to him as he narrowed his eyes suspiciously.

"That would be true. However, if I kill him so quickly, it will not bring me satisfaction. What I want is to make him suffer and then kill him as he sees the ones who caused his suffering. That would bring me the utmost joy from it." The man said to him with a smile.

"Even if that is the case. Why approach me?" Eric asked as he calmed down a bit.

"Because you are the prince and so hold considerable power. And you also share my hatred for the boy and so I thought that we should join forces against him." The man said to him in a calm voice.

"And what will you do after your revenge has been completed?" Eric asked him as he looked him over.

"I will return back to my travels. After all, I have no intentions of staying in the same place. After my revenge has been completed, I shall take my leave." The man said to him with a nod.

Eric kept his gaze at the man as he thought about the words of the man. He didn't feel any deceit from his words and from his own words, he was only here because of his hatred for Lucas, something which he also shared. And from what he had seen just now, he has considerable power as well.

This will only serve to help him in his revenge and he isn't sure if the court mage would be willing to lend his help in the matter as he wouldn't want to escalate things further. And considering how his father isn't pleased by the events of the war, he won't be at speaking terms at the moment.

'This might be a chance for me to get revenge on him. And if he leaves after it then it will be good for me as well.' Eric thought to himself as he thought about it.

'He is too prideful, but, that is something that can be exploited after all. This will be interesting to see.' The man thought to himself as he knew what the prince was thinking.

    Lucas didn't give the soldiers a chance to attack as he immediately lunged forward with his sword ready, the runes taking effect as he swung and decapitated three soldiers as his sword sang as it cut through the necks of the soldiers with ease as its wielder spun around as he shot out flames which burned the soldiers as they cried out in pain. He looked at Kriemhild as she also attacked the soldiers as her sword was also able to cut through their armor and their bodies as the sword was working as he had intended as he smiled to himself as he focused back on the enemies. The mages were busy putting up shields to deflect the flames from Falkor which only annoyed the wyvern as it roared and increased the speed as it flew through the air and attacked the other soldiers as the mages kept on using shields as they knew that they couldn't lose them. The archers also attacked the wyvern but it was proving to be ineffective as the wyvern was able to dodge the arrows as they were getting angr

    Lucas quickly put on his armor and grabbed his sword as he dashed out of his room, startling the servants near his room as they looked at him in shock as he quickly went down the stairs, his armor making noise which caught the attention of his parents as they came out of a room to find him in armor. "Son?" Leif called out in confusion alongside his wife. "The enemy soldiers are attacking!" Lucas shouted as he dashed without stopping as his words caused the eyes of his parents to widen alongside the servants. "What!?" All of them shouted in shock at his sudden declaration. But Lucas didn't wait for a response as he threw open the doors of the entrance as be spotted Falkor who was currently chilling on the ground, though he did sense his Master and looked at him. "Get ready to fly!" Lucas shouted as the Wyvern's eyes narrowed in response as it let out a light roar. Falkor raised his wings as he raised his body up using his legs as Lucas jumped onto his back as he steadied him

    Alpha and his comrades were keeping watch at the border as they had been ordered by Lucas and they hadn't seen anything out of the ordinary in there, just the usual forest and the animals that live, there weren't any disturbances nor any soldiers, though he did feel concerned that they would attack at once, but they would be able to see him, after all they had been trained for reconnaissance and while they aren't as good as their master, they could at least move away before the attack and warm Lucas during the time of attack. They were scattered around the border, with weapons at the ready in case of an ambush and were a good distance away from the border and hidden so that they will be able to safely kill any small group of soldiers that came out of the kingdom and intruded into their own. While it was a bit boring, it was safe and it wasn't like there was any danger now so he is quite content with doing this, it also allowed him to enjoy the wildlife as well. It was tranquil and e

    The new day started as Lucas woke up and started to train in his magic as he stayed in his room and kept a watch on the borders of the kingdom to make sure that his subordinates are fine and was glad to see that they were keeping watch over the border. Though he is dissatisfied about the fact that he wasn't able to look at the enemy kingdom and understand what was happening. Falkor is also in the garden and is working as a guard to ensure that they are safe. Since he has very sharp senses, he would be able to know when danger is afoot, which will allow him and his family to be ready. He doesn't know who has shot that attack but he knows that they are strong for being able to do that. But he also didn't know if that was the best they could do or if they have more tricks up their sleeve. There were more questions than answers, which frustrated him as he didn't know what to do in such a situation, other than creating plans based on what he knows and can hypothesize as he just wante

    The moment Lucas returned to his home he told his parents about the danger and asked them to be prepared just in case and to not tell about it to anyone until something happened. They were confused at the sudden words of their son but they trusted him as he went to his room and to the secret room where he started to go through the grimoires he has as he looked at the spells in the book as he narrowed his eyes. 'That attack would've finished me if it had hit and the more problematic thing is that I don't even know if that mage is able to do more or not. What if he was only testing me? I don't have any information to draw any conclusions on this.' Lucas thought to himself as he frowned at the lack of information. He hoped that his boys were cautious, though he had given them training and taught them to be always cautious, they were still only human and they might relax while out on the patrol. 'It would be ideal to have Aslaug with me as she would be able to warn me about it and

    Lucas has wanted to return to his own territory after telling the royals about the warning, but Olivia wanted to talk with him after that so he decided to forego that plan for the moment as he has to follow the wishes of the princess above all as a member of the nobility after all. "Why did you wish to talk with me princess?" Lucas asked her respectfully. "I was curious about your plan to combat this new threat. I'm sure that you would've already come up with a plan of action after learning about the danger." Olivia said as she looked at him. "Yes, I suppose you are right. Though it isn't a real plan as much as it is just something that I came up with on the spot." Lucas said as he shook his head from side to side. "I see. I guess you want to go back and get your territory ready?" Olivia said as she smiled at him. "Yes, I still haven't told my parents about it yet since I wanted to inform you immediately." Lucas said to her seriously. "Then I shall not delay you any further, as
