Alpha watched the border of the two kingdoms with the rest of his group. After Lucas had given them the order to observe the border and make sure that none of the enemy soldiers or anything else would cross into the kingdom.

All of them had split up to make sure that they had covered all the area. For the time being, he hasn't seen any unusual activity from the other kingdom which put his mind at ease for the moment as it meant that the danger that his master has thought of hasn't happened yet.

He trusts his master and knows that if he has said that a danger is coming, then it will be coming. But for the master to not know what the danger is means that the problem is something that might be hazardous to them all.

He is sure that they are very powerful, but he also doesn't want to be too arrogant about it as he knows that it might lead to his death. It was one of the first things that was taught by their master to them when he was teaching them about fighting.

Thinking that they can't be defeated is a fatal mistake and if they aren't careful then they have a high chance of being killed. He stressed the need to be always vigilant on missions, and only relax when you are extremely sure that you are in a safe area, but even then, they are not supposed to let their guard down.

Alpha is very grateful towards his master for giving them the opportunity to get stronger like this. Especially since orphans like him and the rest don't have anything to their name and they don't know how orphanages would treat them.

Not to mention the skills that he had taught them has also made them abled enough that they will be able to live in society without much of a problem. Of course, he and the others decided to continue serving him as they wanted to give their gratitude to their saviour.

As he thought that he surveyed the area for any movement or suspicious activity, but he didn't find anything which put his mind at ease. Though he knows that the danger that his master foresaw is real, he is at least glad that the danger will not be happening right now, as it would be a problem for them.

"It seems that everything is fine in the border. There aren't any soldiers and no unusual activities, at least in this area." Alpha muttered to himself as he watched the place to no avail.

'I just hope that it is the same with the others as well.' Alpha thought to himself as he moved from the place to see at a different angle.

The others who had scattered to keep an eye on the place also didn't find anything different and so after watching the border for a lengthy amount of time, they regrouped in the agreed time as they met with each other.

They had a discussion about it and all came to the conclusion that the danger that Lucas was talking about hasn't arrived yet.

"This means that we might have more time to prepare." Alpha said serious as he stood with the rest of the group.

"Yes, we should inform Lord Lucas of this." Beta said seriously as he had thought about it.

"That is a good plan. Delta, go and inform Lord Lucas about this." Alpha said to him seriously.

"Got it. I will go and inform him immediately." Delta said with a nod as he then ran to relay the message.

"The rest of us will continue the surveillance and make sure that we find any unusual activities in the border." Alpha said to the rest of them as they nodded.

They scattered again as they made for their positions to keep an eye on the border and make sure to take note of any unusual activities. All the while being unaware of the cloaked man watching their moves from the sky.

The man then turned to look at Delta who is making his way to Lucas to relay the information, oblivious to the fact that his and his companions movements have been under the scrutiny of a foe that they weren't aware of.

"I shall see to it that you grow into someone who is useful to me Lucas." The man said with a smile on his face as he vanished from the place.

Delta meanwhile just went towards his master's place as he managed to reach the area as he stopped near the walls of the mansion. He then evaded the guards and reached the mansion as he looked at the room of his Master. But to his confusion he didn't see his master there. He then looked at the other rooms and furrowed his eyebrows at not being able to find Lucas.

'Perhaps he is not home at the moment. Perhaps he is at the home of that demigoddess. Still cannot believe that he actually managed to do that, but then again, it is Lord Lucas, so he must've managed to do something about it.' Delta thought to himself as he moved away from the house.

He then left the place and went towards the location of the house that had been given to Aslaug by Lucas. He also remembered halfway there that the woman from the enemy army is also in there, he just hopes that she is truly loyal, otherwise she will have to be killed, after all, she knows about the demigoddess which is very sensitive information.

Of course, he doesn't believe that the woman is foolish enough to actually do something stupid like that. Not when she knows the strength of Lucas and Aslaug. But it wouldn't hurt to be cautious about it.

As he mused about it, he reached the house of the demigoddess and then went to the side of it while hiding himself from the people and looked inside, and saw Lucas sitting in the room with Kriemhild and Aslaug.

But before he could announce his arrival, he was looked at by both his Lord and the demigoddess, as Lucas and Aslaug looked straight at him through the window as he froze in place. Kriemhild who noticed the direction of their gazes looked at him and she herself froze at the sight of the boy spying on them.

But he didn't have to worry as Lucas signalled for him to come inside as he graciously accepted the offer and climbed through the window and closed it and drew the curtains before he made his way to them as he was eyed by Aslaug and Kriemhild suspiciously.

"Delta, how is the watch over the border?" Lucas asked as he wanted to get straight to it.

"We haven't spotted any unusual activities and no soldier movements currently. It appears that we still have time to make necessary preparations." Delta said to him seriously and respectfully.

"Is that so? Well, we will need the time to do that. Keep an eye on the border. I will need to make a visit to the capital and talk with the princess." Lucas said seriously as he sat there.

"Do you plan to involve the royal family?" Kriemhild asked in surprise.

"From what I understand, this danger will be a deadly one for me. I do not know if the danger is only for me or the entire kingdom, but it is better to be cautious and prepared, than to be taken off guard." Lucas said to her seriously.

"You care a great deal about what happens to the kingdom." Aslaug said as she looked at him.

"This is the land I was born in. And these are the people that live in my territory and the ones who look up to me and my clan for their protection and peace. I have to answer at least some of their expectations." Lucas said with a small smile.

Aslaug and Kriemhild looked at him before they nodded while Delta smiled at the words of his Master.

"Delta, go and keep watch just like I said. But be extra careful and always alert for magic. There is a strong mage in Sweden and we do not know his capabilities, so practice great caution." Lucas said to him seriously.

"Yes my lord. We will not fail you." Delta said seriously before he left the place and went towards his comrades.

"He is quite rude though. He didn't even introduce himself to us." Aslaug said as she crossed her arms in annoyance.

"I'll make sure to get you acquainted with him and his group. But the situation is dire at the moment so he has to be quick. He and my trusted, already knows about both of your origins." Lucas said to them with a small smile.

"You..." Aslaug said with narrowed eyes at that.

Kriemhild however didn't mind it as her origins aren't anything special, though she hopes that they won't judge her based on her former allegiance.

'So we have some time. Well, I have to get to the capital quickly and inform Olivia about this. Let's just hope that we will be able to stave off the more disastrous parts of the danger.' Lucas thought to himself as he sat on the chair and contemplated it.

    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

    Lucas said in the room as he waited for the princess to come back as he ate some of the snacks there as he waited patiently. It was only after a few minutes did the princess return to the room as she smiled at him. "Please follow me, my father and mother wish to speak with you." Olivia said to him as he nodded and stood up. He followed her out of the room as they went towards the throne room. As they walked Olivia was slightly slower than him as she looked at him walk as she wanted to see him more as her interest in him was already high after all that she had been able to see about him. They soon reached the throne room as the soldiers opened the door and they entered. Lucas stood a few feet away from the king and queen who were sitting on their respective thrones. Olivia went forward and sat on her own throne as Lucas saw that only the royal guards and the court mage were present with them. "You majesties." Lucas said respectfully as he gave them a bow. "Raise your head Luca
