Chapter 115 – Luke Leat

Third person POV

As his older sister and friends are eating and drinking, Robert began to wonder if Sol have any other students before him.

"Who that will be?" he asked in his mind.

But he just let out a normal sigh and continue thinking, "I'll just keep it in the back of my mind for now."

He then resumed eating his meal.

Later after lunch, at 1:25 p.m., Robert and Sol are walking down the gardens under the sun when Robert brought the topic about the Lightheart clan, asking, "Hey, Headmaster Sol, who are the Lighthearts?"

Eventually, they stopped walking, and Sol explained to him, "The Lighthearts are known as one of the two strongest Spirithearts. They are renowned for their ability to manipulate and control light, and their ability to create light."

"Oh," Robert commented.

"But, they are very well-known for their level of arrogance, selfish intent, cruel decisions, and heartless actions and character," Sol continued.

"Wow, what a bad description of them," Robert commented once more.

"Yes, they are," Sol reaffirmed.

But, he haven't revealed to him about his secret adoptive daughter, whom he exiled for her great arrogance and selfishness, until the right time.

After that, Sol said to Robert, "Okay, that would the Lighthearts' description and character. Let's go back to the guesthouse. I'll take a nap until the time of the meeting."

"Okay then!" Robert readily replied, before he and Sol walked back to their guesthouse to rest up and take a short nap.

3 o'clock came, and Robert and the others woke up simultaneously due to a sound of a knocking on their doors by the caretakers of the guesthouse, informing them of the meeting by the king. Eventually, they all get up, dressed in their appropriate clothing, and went downstairs to head to the palace for the upcoming meeting.

Not long after, led by one of the palace guards, they and Dan, alongside Jeremiah, arrived at the palace meeting room, where Alexander and his family and 3 Senior Royal Guards are waiting for them.

"Good afternoon, Your Highness," William greeted.

"Good afternoon to all of you," greeted Alexander. "I'm glad all of you had come. The 3 Senior Royal Guards are here, too."

He then looked at the 3 Senior Royal Guards and told them, "Everyone, this people will help us. Please, be nice to them."

"Yes, sir!" the three Senior Royal Guards responded in obedience.

One of them, a young man named Luke Leat, a native of Saheda, looked at Robert and the others, and greeted, "Greetings, everyone, my name is Luke Leat. I am one of the Senior Royal Guards."

He is tall and with dark brown hair and bright green eyes, and a small mole on his left cheek.

"Wow, nice to meet you, Luke-san," Robert replied back. "My name is Robert Lightningheart, of the Lightningheart and Windheart clans."

Surprised by Robert's Windheart lineage, Luke responded, "What? You're a Windheart member, too?"

"Yes, on my mother's side," answered Robert.

After that, his older sister and friends then introduced themselves to him and the other two Senior Royal Guards.

Once that was done, Luke looked at Sol, recognizing his face and name, before he finally remembered him.

"Wait a minute, are you Sol Spiritheart?" he asked him in shock.

"Yes, it's me, Luke," Sol replied happily.

This also shocks Robert and the others.

"You know him?" Robert commented.

"Headmaster?" Stephen remarked.

"Yes, he used to be my student at my magic academy," Sol explained back. "He used to be one of the academy's top students. But he left after he graduated. He and I exchanged letters."

To that Robert thought, "I knew it! He had any students before me!"

But he couldn't say that right now, and decided to save it for later.

The others then get what Sol had explained to them.
