"Fu...Fu...No..No."
"Son there isn't any trouble. What trouble can we have? Your father is out on a hunting expedition and is visiting an old bastard...I mean his friends to reminiscent some of his past."
"Mom, are you telling me truth?" Lucas asked and further added.
"Mom, you can trust your son. Right now I am at mid of 3-Star. I think I can even defeat my old man with a flick. Moreover, I have gained some good and precious friends and all of them belong to high-class nobles societies. By the way, no need to be shocked, your son is much more amazing than you can think of. Even I am ashamed of myself being born so amazing." Lucas bragged rubbing his nose and thought he may have overdone it but still, it's okay.
If a son can't even brag before his mother then what was the use of having a family?
"...."
Lucas's mom's voice became silent for a moment but the next second a loud laughter was heard.
"Fu...Fu....Fu..."
"Oh! My son, I know you are born for greatness. You have incredible abilities and I am proud of what you have achieved till now and would always be happy to see my little baby growing."Lucas's mother spoke with a soft tone.
Lucas's burrows furrowed as he thought that her mother's words carried a hint of sadness but he shook it away and thought it may just be his thought.
"Let's leave it here. Tell me, did you find any girl?"
Lucas coughed...
"Hello...Hello...Mom, I am not getting a signal. Let's talk about it later." Lucas hung the call and wiped off the sweat.
His mom was quite dangerous in that aspect.
Every time she asked something about this, he would just change the conversation or would just hang the call.
"She is dangerous. She can drop the bomb anytime during the talk. I have to be careful." Lucas muttered.
...
In a broad spacious room where the walls were decorated with various paintings and artistic things still, everything had an old rustic charm.
It looked like a place signifying the past ancient glory and valour which seems to be of great significance.
In the middle of the room, two people sat facing each other with serious expressions.
On the table between them, there was a chessboard where one of them moved the pawn and asked with a solemn expression"Does everything which is happening now is calculated by you?"
"Did you plan all this so that you can highlight him and bring me from hiding?" The man asked and looked straight at the man with black hair and golden eyes.
The person whom the question asked looked at the man with a dumbfounding gaze and his eyes glowed and blinked multiple times which made him look like a fool.
"Did they also take your brain when they stole your power or have you gone senile?"He asked in a mocking tone
"Do you think I have enough time to play here like this and am I seriously a type of person who wastes time in kids' matters?"
Cough...Cough...
A small coughing sound came from behind where a man stood wearing full armour set as if he going to a battlefield right now.
"Your Majesty, aren't wasting your time by playing chess." A man who stood behind the sofa spoke.
Alexander glared at the man and spoke"Are you on my side or his.?"
"Oh! I remember you used to be his disciple or subordinate. Should I cut your salaries this month Chief?" Alexander spoke with a sweet angelic smile that coupled with his snowy white hair made him look like an angel.
The chief's body was drenched hearing Alexander's threat.
"Stop wasting my time and speak why have you called me?" The other man wearing a cloak spoke with an irritated tone.
"We haven't met each other for almost 18 years. Can't you at least show a smile to me? Is this how you treat your best friend?"
Alexander sighed seeing the stern look on the man's face which signalled that the man may hack him into pieces at any second.
"Okay, I am telling you, "Alexander spoke and his tone became sharp and the playful expression on his face disappeared.
" I don't know how but maybe his bloodline level might have changed and upgraded a level.." Alexander with a serious expression.
The other man's expression distorted and asked"Is this it?"
"Didn't I tell you before that with the blessings potions the family heirloom that our ancestors got from Elf queen, I was able to upgrade his bloodline to bronze?"
"No, that's not it," Alexander spoke shaking his head.
"It is beyond what we expect. Maybe his bloodline improved by two or three-stage where he can even use the ability or he may still be at bronze but had got back your family ability."
"What!" The man screamed and jumped from his seat.
"You are saying, it is in the range of gold to platinum."
"I don't know about it clearly," Alexander spoke rubbing his forehead.
"Than," the man asked with an excited voice.
"But at the least, we can say, he is doing better and maybe he had got his hands on the bloodline ability," Alexander spoke
The man heard Alexander's words and calmed down a little bit inside he wanted to dance around.
"Yeah, he had been doing well to point that we can't say this going to be a disaster or not."The man spoke
"Don't think too negatively. It's not that bad either." Alexander spoke.
"How can we say. If those people came for us again."
Alexander frowned on hearing his words and both of them thought about their past.
Both of them came from prominent families while the man's family was declining belonging to lesser nobles, his birth and the talent he had shown gave them hope as after generations a diamond bloodline was born.
Alexander knew him from his academy days when he was still a teenage boy.
Both of them sneaked for thrill and undergo many adventures together which had forged a strong bond of friendship and companionship between them.
Both of them grew up and finally married, setting up their family and getting busy with their lives.
Alexander became the king and his friend became the Imperial Knight and soon rose in position to become a head knight and then Imperial Chief.
Both duos had excellent fighting prowess and shook the whole world by fighting beside each other until that fateful day when the disaster occurred.
His wife is from a prominent family from the Ralph Kingdom who had quite a strong bloodline.
When the man's wife was pregnant and both he and the man were returning from the Ralph Kingdom accompanied by a huge army.
A group of intruders wearing black veils attacked him.
They were surrounded by a dozen of high ranked warriors, and both of them fought their way through the way.
Tons of 9-Star appeared and engaged with them.
When they thought, they have finally won and got out of the mess.
One of the men took out an artifact that can steal bloodline and attacked them.
The and his wife both protected Alexander but both of their bloodlines were stolen and h
the man's rank fell.
But what was more unfortunate was that the artifact instead of stealing the bloodline of the man's wife stole the unborn baby's bloodline.
The child that would have been with a superior bloodline with two of the most strongest ability user born without a bloodline grade
A genius would have been born which could have shaken the world alas the cruel fate didn't let it happen.
As if even heaven was jealous and feared seeing a child born with such power, stripped all of his ability from before and crippled him at the birth.
The child was born with a weak and thin body and that would even be hurt by someone sneezing.
Alexander and the man both sighed at the same time.
Alexander smiled bitterly and spoke"Do you remember our promise. If you have a girl, we would marry my son with your daughter."
"But since a boy was born, he had to marry them according to your ancestor's wish to give birth to a child with the perfect berserker bloodline ability."
The man nodded and spoke"I don't know what to do about that. Every time, I think about that I started to have a headache."
"Though we can't go against our ancestor's wishes forcefully making him married to a girl with higher standing will surely get him into trouble, moreover the reason why the marriage was set had already vanished."
"So, what are you going to do now," Alexander asked.
"You can see, he had already reached the semi-final."
"But he still now hadn't used his ability." The man spoke looking at the screen where a fight was going on.
"Except the bloodline ability. He is already showing his true colour. Your blood runs deep inside him, once he started to gain the limelight, you can't hide his background anymore."
"You were able to fool everyone and make him admit into the academy secretly cause no one knows your surname."
"By the way, what were you thinking when you entered him through the backdoor.No how the hell did you even make him enter horizon with his poor skills?"
The man scratched his head and smiled in embarrassment
"I made someone replicate him and make him go through the exam. Moreover, I don't want him to live like a naive foolish boy throughout his life."
"I thought he will lay low. But who knew this cute naive kitten would turn into a fierce lion after leaving home. I still now remember the day when he left home, he cried as if he was going to die and flooded the floor with tears."
"I made him enter the horizon so that he can know about the outside world. You know I have lost my power and something unforeseen may happen and as naive as he is, he would surely suffer. Though I can teach him how to fight he would just become a frog at the bottom of the well."
"But now seeing him spreading his wings. I think I need to gather his subordinates. Moreover, due to this situation, my wife's parents refrained from meeting him. They would be dying to meet him."
Alexander nodded as he heard the man's plans a.d spoke"Don't worry I will keep an eye on him and make sure no harm will come to him, after all, you have sacrificed so many things for me and if I can't even take care of your son I should just stop being a king."
"By the way, I have interesting news. Your son had helped Julian to alleviate her sickness." Alexander spoke with a smile.
The man's ear perked upon hearing Alexander's words.
