The birds chirped, the sun slowly rise above the horizon but two people in Hayan village were already awake....
"Okay Free, let's do some special training this morning!" Philip wasn't holding a sword in his hand but he had a big grin in his face. Free was infront of him yawning still half asleep brushing his eyes. "You have learn a bit of physical pressure so you'll need to adapt to it and for that you need muscle training and fighting!" Philip said.
"But dad it's still too early..." Free yawned again as bird fly off from the root tree in his garden.
"There is no too early in training!" Philip Put his shoes on and he starts to stretch, the grass shuffle as he stretch his body. "First is jog" philip said, looking toward Free who was continuosly yawning.Philip goes inside the house and came out with a bucket of water in hand and he poured that cold water in Free's head "wake up already!"
"Ahh!!" Free screamed as the cold water touch his skin. His clothes were wet and his body was shaking from cold he walked toward the house but Philip stopped him.
"Wait where are you going" Philip Grabbed Free by his wet clothes and pull him back. "Run if you don't want cold" Philip started to jog toward the village and Free having no choice followed him.
They ran across half the village and Free was already tired his wet clothes were now drench in sweat, his breath came in ragged gasp, Philip took a turn and Free followed him and they kept jogging around the village. 3 hours passed and Philip had already run 3 laps around the village and Free was still Completing his 2 lap.
"That enough for today" philip crack his knuckles with a satisfied sigh while Free was breathing hard.
Free sat in the ground in middle of the street, he gasps for air his clothes drench in sweat. 'this is harder than i thought' Free stand up, his feet trembles. "Dad i need some help here" he looked toward Philip but Philip just gave a thumbs up and walk back to the house. Traitor!, Free stands up with all his might and walk back to the house.
Aftersometime Free finally reached home and he look at the garden and Philip was already meditating, Free stare a bit longer and walk to the house but philip called out to him. "Where do you think you're going" Philip eyes were closed, Free sighs and went back to the garden and meditate beside Philip.
"They're working hard aren't they" Hina was preparing breakfast in the kitchen and Lina was cleaning the dining Table.
"Yeah" Lina answered, she clean the table and glance outside the dining room.
Free in the garden was starting to feel cold again he open one eye and glance at Philip who was deep in meditation. 'good he is deep in meditation i'll just sneaked slowly and change my clothes' Free slowly crawl on the grass trying not to make any sound.
"Don't run" Philip said, his eyes were still closed but he somehow sense it, Free sob a little and went back to meditate.
'When will i escape philip's hellish trainings' Free thought but didn't said it out loud, he just quietly went back to his place and sat Cross legged again.
After sometime Hina came out of the house with a ladle in hand. "Breakfast is ready!" She tell both of them and went back inside. Philip open his eyes and stretch his body.
"That was a good one" he stands up and walk toward the house and Free too stands up and ran inside the house and goes to his room. There he opened the drawer and took dry clothes and he started changing.
Downstairs philip was eating a bread with a big grin. "Today will be a good day" he said, taking a big bite from the bread.
Hina ate her food quietly while Hinata and Elina were still asleep, Free came down in dry clothes he didn't said anything just took his bread and ate quietly.
"Young master how was training this morning" Lina asked entering with a tray of tea. She serve one to Free and one to Hina.
"Normal" Free took a sip from his tea and ate the bread and finish his breakfast. "I'm going outside" Free stand up from his chair to leave the room.
"Even after those jogging you still want to go outside and not rest for a while" Philip said, he looked up from his bread and put the bowl of soup in the table.
"Yeah" Free left the dining table and went upstair to get the spell book and left.
"He really is a geting more cold and rebellious" Philip took a bite again looking at the doorway.
Hina sighs massaging her forehead, she then gave a smile. "He really is like a me" Hina said, she then look at the tea cup Free drank. He hold it like a noble she stare at it before turning to Philip. "Also Philip how old is chief Hemire now?" she asked.
"Uhh?... Maybe 63" Philip answered scratching his head. "Why?"
"It's just that i wanted to know if Hemire has chosen any candidate to be the next chief of the village" Hina said, taking a sip from her tea, she looked at philip who was now deep in thought. He look at Hina then turn to his bread.
"No there isn't" he said now a bit serious his grin slowly faded like a whisper.
"You know he had to choose a new chief before he is 70 and before hayan became a town" Hina was now slightly concerned, she took another sip of her tea.
"Ahh the noble trouble again" Philip finish his bread, and leaned back on his chair.
"Yes, if chief Hemire didn't choose a new chief before he is 70 nobles will come for this lands" Lina said, she took the empty bowl of soup and plates of bread from the table. "This land is already very fertile and financally rich and crops are harvested twice a year, with them being high quality and don't forget the S rank dungeon it's still in the Hayan territory" She said, sitting on the chair Free sat before.
"that isn't much concerning you know we still have 8 more years before that happen so chill"Philip tried to brush the tense atmosphere with a grin but it didn't work.
"W hope so" Hina said.
"Mama! Papa!" Hinata and Elina called from upstairs they were awake but can't go down themselves, Hina and Lina goes there Philip was alone thinking on what to do next, tell hemire to choose a new chief soon or let it be.
