2024-08-17 22:32:47Lucas looked at the Alpha who is standing in front of him seriously as the man is looking at him a bit nervously while being looked at by Lucas very seriously. Lucas is the de facto leader of the boys and when he isn't leading them and giving them jobs then it's his duty to make sure that they work correctly.
"So you got nothing unusual to report?" Lucas asked him seriously as he sat in his chair. "No sir. We did a check just as you had told us to, but we haven't found anything unusual happening inside the country. Even in the other noble families or around the royal palace." Alpha said to him seriously with a nod. Lucas narrowed his eyes at that as he reclined on the chair he is sitting on as he closed his eyes and thought about it. The runes are really useful and powerful ones which acts like it when a great danger to the user is afoot. Which is the reason why he had decided to use it on himself so that he will be able to know if there is going to be danger to him. So he is sure about the fact that something which would be dangerous for him is about to happen, but he doesn't know what. "If that is the case, then whatever is happening is outside of our country." Lucas said as he looked at the boy in front of him. "What do you mean master Lucas?" Aloha asked him as he looked at him. "I believe that something of great danger to us is about to happen. But I don't have any idea about what it is. It is the reason as to why I had given the order." Lucas said to him seriously. "Oh. Then should we keep on looking? It is better to be cautious about it after all." Alpha said to him as he looked at him. "Yes. Try to keep a lookout in our country and the borders. As for things outside of Norway, I'll take a look at them." Lucas said to him seriously as he closed his eyes. "As you say Master Lucas. I hope that you succeed in your endeavour." Alpha said to him as he gave him a bow. "You too. Give my regards to the rest of them. And also take care of the training of the girls as well." Lucas said to him with a small smile on his face. "Of course." Alpha said to him before he left the room. Lucas watched him go before he sighed to himself and then went to the secret part of his room and opened a chest and pulled out a crystal ball. Then he placed his hand on it and used his magic and then he was able to spy on the city. It was an artifact that he had managed to obtain from a lost ruin, most of the things in the ruins had been destroyed or damaged due to a cave in of the ruin, but the crystal ball was something which was protected tightly so it was relatively unscathed bar some dust on it. He has also gotten his hands on some Tomes which he has in this secret part of his room which he used to learn more about magic. He is quite glad that he had got it as it is a very useful magic tool to possess. It allowed him to spy on other places with greater ease, and his usage of Space magic allowed him greater mastery over it. It is also the reason why he is able to learn about places that he was unable to go to initially. And so with that hope he looked at the crystal ball and waited for it to show the kingdom of Sweden. But he frowned when he couldn't see anything in it as he grew concerned as it hadn't done that before when he was spying on the enemy kingdom. 'Okay, so the one in the kingdom has enough power to block the view of my crystal ball.' Lucas thought to himself with a frown. He then gave it a few more tries as he used more power but it all ended with him not being able to see the kingdom. It caused him more concern as it meant that there was someone in the other kingdom powerful enough to actually stop him from seeing the kingdom. 'But who could it be? It certainly wasn't anyone I knew. And the timing is off. If Sweden had such a powerful magic user who was able to stop my crystal ball, then why didn't they use him? Or maybe...' Lucas thought to himself as he closed his eyes and thought about it. He remembered how many of the higher ranked officers and royal family looked and he didn't see anyone of much note or magical power. Aside from their court mage, nothing else seemed to indicate that there was a great user of magic amongst them. "Which means that this magic user was someone who had appeared in the other kingdom recently. But why now? Are they planning to use this opportunity to gain an alliance? A powerful magic user would be nice to have alongside the court mage." Lucas thought to himself as he tried to come up with a scenario as to why the mage would be helping now. There were many scenarios to choose from. Money, Territory, Power, Respect and many other things which would be a huge help to the mage, especially from a kingdom which had lost in war. A powerful magic used is a great asset to a kingdom as not many people toil to become a powerful magician after all. And the defeat of the kingdom of Sweden in the war would be a good opportunity for any opportunistic mage to take advantage of and reap benefits. But the problem with that is that he doesn't know how strong they are or where they come from or what their background is. And that is not mentioning the fact that the runes had activated which had alerted to him that some of great danger to him was happening. And he could infer that it might be because of the powerful mage as well. 'Maybe they have already finished with what they had wanted to do. If that is the case, then it is going to be bad for me. And if it's the prince that the mage has gone to, then it would be logical to assume that the guy wants revenge against me.' Lucas thought to himself about it. "I don't have enough information to understand what is happening. But until I get more information, I should be more cautious." Lucas muttered to himself as he stores the crystal ball back and left the room.

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
Chapter 57
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
Chapter 56
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
Chapter 55
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
Chapter 54
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
