Transmigrated: Rise of a King

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 you need to prepare yourself as well. I just hope that we will be able to do something to solve this, or I hope that this war would be as short as the one we previously had." Olivia said as she sighed.

"Well, with your permission, I would like to go back to my territory, princess." Lucas said to her respectfully as she nodded at that.

"You have my permission to leave Lord Lucas." Olivia said to him as he looked at her in confusion.

"Um, you don't have to call me Lord, princess." Lucas said to her at hearing her call him that.

"You are a war hero of this country so I think you should be given the proper respect." Olivia said to him with a smile.

'She is beautiful.' Lucas thought to himself as he saw her smile.

"In any case, I think you should do that. I may have helped in ending the war, but calling me Lord, when you are the princess of this land, I don't think it's a good thing." Lucas said to her with a respectful tone.

"I see. Well, for now I think you should return to your land quickly and prepare for the upcoming war." Olivia said to him as he nodded and bid her farewell before he made his way out.

'That is only if there is a war. Who's to say that they won't try a more covert method to fight against us?' Lucas thought to himself as he contemplated it as he went to the garden.

He got to Falkor and climbed onto his back and flew out of the castle. He had already given Falkor the order to fly quickly towards his home as he has a serious face as they flew towards his home.

'I can't spy into the country and this time I don't know what kind of enemy this is. Perhaps it will be an all out war, or perhaps the war itself would be the distraction for the main attack. I can't do anything without getting any information at all.' Lucas thought to himself as he frowned as they both flew.

Falkor flew high as they quickly made his way towards the mansion as he was vigilant as Lucas was thinking of back-up plans that will help in the war. He has already told his plans to Kriemhild and Aslaug, though he doesn't know if that will work or not.

But if they were to try, then they might be able to do something, though he doesn't know the capabilities of the new mage, and they might be even more powerful than he is, which means that he can't rely on his magic, nor his martial prowess if he were to face that new mage face to face.

'This is going to be difficult.' Lucas thought to himself as they flew.

As he was thinking, Falkor looked ahead as he squinted his eyes and focused on front as it felt something, but then his eyes widened as he saw a ray of magic shooting towards them.

"Raaah!" Falkor roared as he alerted Lucas about the sudden attack.

He immediately saw the attack as he opened a rift in front of them, into which the attack went into as he grit his teeth as there was a lot of power behind the attack.

'D-Damn, how much power is in this attack?' Lucas thought as the attack had been going on for a minute.

It was only after that did the attack stop as he closed the rift as he panted a bit, as he had to use a good amount of Mana to keep the rift open and not collapse due to the power of the attack.

The problem wasn't the fact that he had to open the rift, the problem was that the attack has a lot of Mana in it, and if he didn't have proper control over the rift, then the influx of Mana would've destabilized the spell, causing the rift to close and for the attack to hit them, and he definitely doesn't want to test that.

'Was it that mage who attacked us? Is he able to see me so clearly that he can use such an attack with such precision?' Lucas thought to himself as he frowned and grit his teeth at the thought.

"Just how strong is this person? Fuck, Aslaug might be the only one who might be able to tank such an attack. Even if I was able to defeat her, her body is naturally much more durable than mine without a doubt. What the hell am I supposed to do for myself and the rest?" Lucas said to himself as he gave the order for the wyvern to go quickly.

'I guess I'll have to speed up and learn more magic from the books to use. It might be crude and rushed, but it's better to have the knowledge of those spells in case I really need them.' Lucas thought to himself as he formulated a plan to make himself more powerful in preparation for the coming danger.
