Chapter 23: Age Coming Ceremony [part-4]

When it was 11 O'clock, Lucas looked around to check whether his father, the king would come to send off his son. Even though he knew that it wasn't going to happen, he was still looking forwards to meet his father for last time.

The only who came was Head Butler and few priests for the ceremony. Seeing that Lucas sighed, if one heard it clearly one would feel sadness and relief in it. After that he started talking to himself in low voice that could be only heard by himself.

"Although I knew he wouldn't come, it is really disappointment."

"Looks like this body or the previous Lucas really want to meet his father for last time."

The Priests started setting up the require array and things for the ceremony and the head butler came to Lucas and spoke.

"Your Highness, ceremony will start in few minutes."

"After the ceremony, your highness has to register the place or land of your choice as your new fief and then we will again conduct ceremony for you getting Noble rank."

After saying that the stayed beside Lucas waiting for his answer.

"Yes, we will do it as you say, Head Butler John."

"Ok, Your highness."

After saying their pieces, they became silent waiting for the priests to set everything.

After a while the priests set everything and the ceremony got started. The ceremony went on for an hour and a half.

After the ceremony was completed, head butler John asked Lucas to follow him to get registered. They went to a study room in the palace in which they met with the official who is responsible to registration.

The Head butler John went in to talk with the official and after a small talk the official readied the document papers for fief registration, and came near Lucas to ask about the details.

"Your Highness, on which part or the land of the kingdom you would like to have has your fief."

"Please give your choice in details. Such as area, shape of land etc."

Hearing the official say, Lucas thought for a bit and said his choice.

"I was entire Dark Canyon as my fief."

"Ok your highness wants Dark Canyon, it is possi…"

"What did you say your highness, please repeat it."

"Did you say entire Dark Canyon?"

Hearing the word Dark Canyon both official and the Head Butler John were shocked and it took few seconds for the official to react to what Lucas said.

"Yes, I was entire Dark Canyon, you have heard it right."

Lucas replied to official's question in calm manner. Hearing the confirmation from Lucas himself they both were once again shocked.

After getting the confirmation the official became scared and spoke hurriedly.

"Your highness, this isn't joking matter, Dark Canyon is a forbidden zone. If you go there, you will di… die for sure."

"Please your highness, choose a different place."

Seeing that the official is speaking for his own good, Lucas spoke in low and polite voice but also in calm and authoritative voice.

"I only wasn't Dark Canyon as my Fief."

"No, Your High…"

Before the official could finish his sentence Lucas stopped him with his hand and once again said in low and deep voice.

"I… WANT… DARK… CANYON… AS… MY… FIEF."

Seeing the Lucas was being stubborn, the official turned to speak with John.

"Head Butler, you should tell his highness about the dangers in Dark canyon and also try to change his mind."

Hearing the voice of official, Head Butler John came back to reality. Seeing that the official repeated what he said earlier to John. After listen to him John too wanted to say something but, when he saw Lucas's face, he knew that he can change Lucas's decision.

"Your Highness, this matter is big and I don't have permissions to allow this."

"So please allow me to inform this to his majesty."

"Ok, do as you please."

Seeing Lucas agree to his request John ran to meet King Evergreen.
