Strength,Knowledge and Power

It was evening in the town near Mesina Castle.By now Lucian's dad was already taken to the bed in their house.Roman,Melissa's dad also called a friend who was a friend of his to check up on Lucian's dad who was now lying on the bed and sleeping.

Lucian's mom was sitting down on a stone tool near his dads bed.Her eyes were already very red from crying too much.

At this moment the doctor Steven checking up on his dad woke up and shook his dead from left to right.

"His life is out of danger but theres no way he can go back to working as a guard he is as good as crippled right now and if he still tries to work there might be severe repurcussions."

As the doctor said this Lucian and his mom were both scared as well as a bit relieved that at least Clinton's life wasn't in danger.

"Rest assured Sheila if Steven has already said that his life is not in danger then its absolutely in no danger.I'll go for now Melissa and her mom must be worried about me ."

Roman being Clinton's best friend was also worried and stayed with them till now to look after clinton.Listening to his assurance Sheila calmed down a bit and nodded.

Clinton woke up deep into the night.Upon hearing about his condition and his wife and sons worries he laughed despite being in pain.

"It's ok,so what if I can't be a guard anymore?I can always go back to being a farmer with the little land we have.It's enough to make a living and live our lives peacefully.Also I have saved quite a bit of silver coins after my years of working as a guard.You two dont have to worry at all."

Hearing his carefree words Sheila finally felt relieved.But both of them didn't know that countless thoughts were going on in their son's mind.

At this moment Lucian was deeply thinking about this world.At first he thought that this world was very similar to the Medieval Europe back on earth.But he was clearly very wrong.After seeing that green stone glowing and the whip materializing in the air he knew that this world was far too unfathomable.

"I need to learn more about this world and that strange power also.But for that i need to learn how to read and write as soon as possible."Thought Lucian to himself.

Until now Lucian never really cared about standing out or show his genius mind as he just wanted to live a normal life.But the events today made him realize that in order to protect his parents he needed strength and in order to get strength he needed knowledge.Having come to a decision a few minutes later Lucian immediately looked towards his parents and spoke.

"Mom,Dad I want to learn how to read and write.I want to be strong when i grow up so that i can protect both of you."

His mom and dad's expression immediately turned grave but there was not too much surprise in their minds.Even though Lucian was extremely lowkey so far as his parents they realized long ago that this child of theirs was very smart and caring.

"Son,if you have truly made up ur mind then ur mom and I will support you till the end.With my savings and Roman's connections it should be easy to find a teacher for you.As for getting stronger ur still too young to think about that.We shall talk about that later."

While saying so Clinton tried to sit up and coudn't help but grimace.Sheila hurriedly helped him.

"Son,don't even think of taking revenge against nobles.Specially that young master Merlin.He is the youngest son of the Mesina family head.The family head dotes extremely upon this youngest son,thats why he gets to do whatever he wants.To us nobles are godlike existences.We can never hope to go against them."

Lucian nodded to put his parents at ease but inside he swore that no matter who it is he will take revenge for his dad.But for now he needed to hold it in as he doesn't have the strength to do anything.

Starting next week there was a literary teacher coming to Lucian's house two times a week.The teacher was called Mark.At first Mark was a little sceptical about teaching to such a small kid but slowly that turned into astonishment.He couldnt believe that a 2 year old boy was capable of understanding all these stuff.

From the study sessions with Mark,Lucian came to know more about this world or specifically this kingdom.This kingdom was called the Kingdom of Umbra.The highest form of power in this kingdom was the Royal Family Followed by super,large,middle and small noble families.So this was country was entirely controlled by the nobles and you could say that they were the gods here..But what made Lucian be depressed was that there was no information about the stranger power of that green crystal that day from what he read.He asked his dad and he told him that information related to cultivation were strictly controlled by the noble families.

The only thing Lucian learned were that there were three stages of body practicioner.His dad was in the second stage.You need to be at least at the first stage if you want to be an outer guard.Therefore Lucian decided that he had to join the guards in the future if he wanted to get more information about that strange power as well as the cultivation system.
