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 wanted to have the knowledge he needed to prepare himself. He had warned the royal family about it, so he hoped that they would also prepare their own troops to ensure that they were ready. He wondered if the other noble families had been notified about the situation, otherwise they would panic when the situation escalates. "I can think about it later, but now I have to do this." Lucas said to himself as he went to the secret room. He knew that he needed every advantage he could get, which is why he had spent the better part of his time studying the spells in the various grimoires that he had stored. This particular book that he has in his hand is one which contains information about various runic inscriptions which can be used to strengthen oneself or items. He is able to inscribe runes on his weapons as he had learned about it, but this time he was more focused on the method of inscribing runes on their own body. By using this method, the user can strengthen themselves using the runes, however it is a difficult endeavour due to the fact that it is being inscribed on a living being rather than an inanimate thing. Which is why he had only the ones for the warning on him. Because of this risk he was very hesitant in using more variants of it, even during the war, but now that the situation has reached such a stage, he knew that he would have to be more cautious and stronger if he wanted to survive. And unlike the runes which have no physical effect on him, which made it relatively safe to use, the runes he was planning on inscribing on himself would be the ones needed for strengthening himself, which directly influenced his body, which meant that if he wants careful, then it could backfire on him. So he made sure that he was perfectly calm before he started to inscribe the runes on himself as he read the information on the grimoires to be extra sure. He felt the runes took effect after each one was successfully inscribed on his body, and when the complete combination was done, he felt the full effects. After he was done with the first set, he did some movements with the rune to make sure that it was working properly and that it wouldn't suddenly go haywire and cause damage to himself as well. "Okay, this is working as I want. Great." Lucas said to himself as he couldn't help but smile at the fact that he was able to inscribe a rune like this on himself without any negative effects. This emboldened him to inscribe more runes on his body as he made sure that they were fine and correct and was made in correspondence to the grimoire in his hand. He inscribed it on his chest, stomach, shoulders, back, with the last one being the most difficult due to its position. He still wanted the runes to be a secret, which meant that he had to put them in positions that people weren't able to see. He also inscribed runes on his forearms and legs as he wanted them to be functional and even if they were discovered, he didn't mind it, especially since they were essential limbs that would help him to survive. He just hoped that all his preparations would be helpful in the coming battle, though he doesn't think that it would be a war since he doesn't believe that the soldiers of Sweden would want to fight after the crushing defeat that they suffered at his hands. "I can only hope that the situation will be good for us." Lucas said to himself as he closed the book after he was done. He then looked at the sword that he owned as he started to inscribe runes on it. The runes that he used weren't about to make it as powerful as Aslaug's sword, but he is sure that it will be strong enough to at least make it much more stronger than it normally is. And in such a situation, he needed every advantage that he can have. He inscribed the runes on the sword as he watched it take effect as he nodded to himself at the successful inscribing before he started to place more runes on it. After that was done he did the same with another good quality sword he has, as he planned to give it to Kriemhild as he wanted her to have a better weapon to use in times of crisis, as the sword with the runes will be an especially powerful weapon for her to use and will guarantee more safety for her in battle. She is a good swordsman and is quite useful, and considering how much he has shown her about his strength, he is sure that she won't betray him. While he is fairly certain that she won't, it wouldn't hurt to be suspicious of her as well. But she is a good ally and having her be alive and working for him works much better for him in the long run. And giving her this sword is also a form of trust as it would show her that he trusts her enough to give her something like a rune inscribed sword, and a sword like this isn't easily made. This is especially true since he had spent an hour in the space, working on the runes, and inscribing the runes on the sword he planned to give her took 15 minutes, which was much faster than before owing to the fact that he had studied the runes more thoroughly and he was just placing the same runes he had put on his sword. This act will certainly gain her favor and loyalty and will ensure that she would be more inclined to follow him as well. He hopes that in the future he would be able to trust her more, but at this moment it's best if he were to be cautious. "And that's done. The swords are done correctly and Aslaug doesn't need one since she has her own divine sword that her parent had left her. The runes I have placed on myself are also functioning properly and aren't showing any abnormalities as well." Lucas said to himself as he looked at the swords and at himself. After he was sure that the runes were okay he left the room and was glad that no one had come to his room. Even though he had asked to not be disturbed during this time, he didn't want his parents to come in when he is at the space. But seeing that everything was peaceful and okay, he went to the crystal ball and started to look at it to spy on the border like before. He used his magic to see what is happening at the border at this moment. But his eyes widened when he saw soldiers rushing out of the border as he jaw dropped at the amount of soldiers who were rushing out of there. "Oh no." Lucas said in horror when he saw that they were attacking right now.

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

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

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
Chapter 52
Lucas sat on the back of Falkor as he made his way to the royal castle, it would've taken more time but he knew the importance of this so he made his wyvern fly quickly. Most of the people had already seen his wyvern and since there weren't any others in sight, they wouldn't attack him. But he didn't want to raise the alarm so he made sure that they were flying near the ground to make the guards know that he is coming. And as he had hoped they didn't attack him, as most of the guards had recognised his wyvern as even if not all of the guards had come to fight in the war, there were still those who recognised him and his ride. They reached the gates and Falkor landed carefully as he scratched his neck as the wyvern growled in response, happy at the scratching he received. "I am Lucas Larsen of the Larsen family and I wish to speak with the princess, it's important. I didn't have the time to send a letter prior." Lucas said to the guards stationed at the front of the gates seriou
Chapter 51
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 th

Lucas sat in Aslaug's home as he was being watched by Aslaug and Kriemhild as they looked at each other, not knowing what to make of the situation in front of them as he had a troubled look on his face. "So, why are you here?" Aslaug asked him as she was curious. "A spell that I had used to warn me about danger activated and I don't know what the danger is." Lucas said to them as he looked at the two women. "Wait, what kind of spell is that?" Kriemhild asked in surprise at hearing that. "That is a spell that I had discovered in the past, but for it to be activated means that it is going to be very dangerous. Not to mention, the chance of me dying is also high." Lucas said causing the two to look at him in surprise. "Truly?" Kriemhild asked in surprise, an emotion which was also mirrored by Aslaug. "Yes, this particular spell I used will warn me about great dangers and when I am going to be in a situation where I could lose my life." Lucas said to them as he reclined on his
