Chapter 26: Change in Journey Time

After some time, Head butler John returned to register office but, he had before going and now was totally different.

Before although he disliked Lucas, he still showed concern when Lucas chose Dark Canyon as his fief nut, now he had disgusted and disdain in his eyes.

Disgusted because he though Lucas chose dark Canyon was for to damage the army and disdain because of King's counter plan against Lucas.

Seeing Lucas again he thought to himself.

"He is similar to Princess Sofia, both of them were planning to damage our kingdom."

"He really is accursed child."

Even though he was disgusted by Lucas, he still showed or gave him (Lucas) respect due to him having royal bloodline.

"Your highness, his majesty has asked you to postpone the journey to tomorrow as there are few troubles in the army that was to escort you today. So…"

"Do you mean His majesty has accepted my request to choose Dark Canyon as my Fief?"

Before John could finish his sentence Lucas interrupted him with his question. He was really surprised that he (King Evergreen) accepted his request.

Although he was angry due to sudden question by Lucas, John replied him calm and unhurried voice.

"Yes, your highness his majesty as accepted your request to choose Dark Canyon as your fief."

"And now his majesty is having some trouble with the army that is to escort your highness."

"So, please your highness, understand his majesty's plight and change the journey time to tomorrow."

Hearing this although Lucas was little bit surprise and angry, he started thinking about the reason for the sudden change of plans. After thinking for a while, he got the answer.

"So, he (King Evergreen) thinks that me choosing dark Canyon as fief is to damage the army and cause many casualties so, he wants to change the elite army that is to escort me to some other weak army."

"How laughable, I don't care about his army, they just have to escort me near Dark canyon and then they can go back."

He really wanted to say that but he thought they might take the meaning of my sentence to another and might cause him trouble so he gave up.

And seeing that it took quite a while for John to return, it seems that they have already started changing the army so there is no way to stop the process so he didn't say anything.

"Ok I understand His majesty's difficulties, I will change my journey to tomorrow morning."

After saying that left without waiting for Head Butler's relpy.

Seeing that Lucas accepting his request John became little be happy and he became confused as for why Lucas was using "His Majesty" rather than "Father Emperor" and then he started thinking about the sudden change.

"So, since the plan to damage the army has been interrupted and plans have changed, Prince Lucas might have become angry and due to this he might have changed his way of calling his majesty."

"How naïve…" John sneered inside while looking at Lucas's back. And then he too turned to return to King Evergreen to inform about this matter.

But, where did he know that since Lucas went through all the memories of the previous Lucas and all the talk with Lucy, he stopped thinking or taking King Evergreen as his father.

He just thought of him (King Evergreen) as a king and him (Lucas) being his (King Evergreen) subject. And now as he been given a fief to rule over, he also stopped thinking of him (King Evergreen) as his king.
