Silently sipping her tea, Zion.
The Hero sitting in entrance of her checked out her intently.
Regardless of his calm expression, he was considerably bewildered by this sudden encounter.
He shortly reviewed what he knew about Zion.
Fortuitously, there’s a variety of data
Even earlier than Ted made his debut, Zion was very well-known.
Earlier than Ted appeared, she was virtually the strongest fighter.
Her reputation among the many public was so nice that even a biography was revealed about her.
The Hero had learn it earlier than.
Distinctive appears to be like and a very good background.
Zion had many components that introduced admiration from the general public.
However above all, what drove her reputation was the key phrase effort.
The Hero recalled the early a part of the biography.
When Zion was about the identical age as Leciel, she didnt obtain a lot consideration.
It was as a result of her Hiyashin brothers, born from the identical bloodline, had a lot better abilities.
She even heard that her abilities have been overshadowed by different younger warriors.
They even referred to as it Hiyashins shame.
Graduating from Rosenstark in indifference, Zion instantly threw herself into the battlefield, persevering with her relentless efforts and dedication.
And so, a decade or so later, she stood tall because the Hiyashins Strongest Sword within the Household Decisive Battle, breaking everyones expectations.
From being ignored as a troublemaker to reaching the head of a brand new sword grasp.
It was a narrative that folks couldnt assist however be keen about.
Even after being praised as the best warrior of her time, Zions efforts continued.
Although their relationship was strategically fashioned, her mild husband handed away.
Abandoning solely a son and granddaughter, disappearing mysteriously.
Till her granddaughter turned the one descendant of the Hiyashin and held a picket sword as a substitute of a toy, Zion lived just for the sword.
Till a younger warrior with unparalleled expertise introduced an sudden defeat.
It wouldnt be fallacious to name it a cursed destiny with Ted.
After the stunning defeat, Zion Hiyashin laid down her sword.
And she or he positioned all her hopes on Leciel.
Although she abruptly deserted every thing at one level.
Throughout a session, the reminiscence of Leciels passing comment got here to thoughts.
From that second on, the Hero didnt see Zion in such a positive mild.
He didnt know a lot about parenting.
However he knew it wouldnt be good to pour out expectations and curiosity on a baby of their early years, solely to withdraw them in a second.
The picture of Leciel choking on her personal approval and expectations, and her obsession with coaching, got here to thoughts.
Zion, who had been silently sipping her tea, abruptly spoke.
Appears like youve heard my story from Leciel. Judging by the way in which youre taking a look at me.
The Hero nodded slowly.
Ive heard the gist of it.
Then this dialog needs to be fast.
Zion set free a short sigh.
Then she bought straight to the purpose.
Ive come right here to ask you for a favor with none reservations.
The Heros head tilted on the sudden phrases.
What request do you might have?
Zion appeared to be about to say one thing, then closed her mouth once more.
The Hero calmly waited for her request.
When Zion lastly spoke, the environment within the room was tense.
Struggle me another time. In entrance of my granddaughter.
.
.
.
A second of sudden silence crammed the room.
The content material of the request was fully sudden.
The Hero, wanting to determine its sincerity, checked out Zion intently.
She started her story slowly.
Im an immature individual. Particularly as a grandmother.
I wont deny that.
Anticipating unreasonable issues from a woman, solely to show away once they appear unlikely to be fulfilled, that was the picture Zion had of herself within the Heros eyes.
Sensing the reproach in his phrases, Zion smiled bitterly.
Within the time I havent seen you, your tongue has turn into as sharp as a sword.
However there was no signal of resentment.
She was reasonably optimistic, nodding her head a number of occasions.
Even when I believe it over 100 occasions, its my fault.
.
Nonetheless, if I have been to make a feeble excuse, I didnt know what to do again then.
She had lived her entire life obsessive about the sword.
As a baby, it was to fill the void left by neglect in her household.
And as an grownup, it was to guard the hard-won glory and honor.
Despite the fact that I knew I used to be lacking valuable issues, I couldnt let go of the sword. And earlier than I knew it, that was all that was left.
Zion continued her story calmly.
In the meantime, within the short-term lodging for folks, a modest get together was underway.
Excessive dad and mom spent a nice time exchanging tales about their kids.
Ravias, after selecting some influential figures and interesting in dialog a number of occasions, quietly returned to his room.
Click on-
The second the door closed.
The pleasant smile on his lips froze coldly.
He irritably threw off his coat onto the ground.
Constructive conversations arent happening anyplace.
To Raviass nice remorse, the theme of the get together was in regards to the kids.
Laughing and chatting, sucking as much as every others kids, was one thing Ravias discovered reasonably ridiculous.
I deeply remorse sending him to the academy.
Naturally, Luke meant nothing as a son to Ravias.
The quite a few step-sons within the mercenary corps have been no completely different.
They have been mere instruments for constructing Raviass kingdom.
Instruments to keep up, broaden, and defend it.
Luke was merely essentially the most helpful and promising amongst them.
The issue is that if I go away it like this, it loses its utility.
Ravias recalled the footage he had seen within the classroom earlier.
Within the footage, Luke was regularly altering from the individual he knew.
How a lot I did make him into essentially the most appropriate model.
Ravias remembered the various issues he had completed for Lukes optimization over time.
He removed the mistress who was making an attempt to behave as a mom determine.
He personally taught him swordsmanship and martial arts, and entrusted him with missions to instill the correct mindset of a mercenary.
He even supervised the executions of subordinates who violated self-discipline.
And regularly, Luke was honed into a pointy device of Raviass personal making.
He had even gone as far as to think about passing on the mantle of succession, which was exceptionally satisfying for Ravias.
Thunk-
Ravias sat down on the sofa with a displeased expression.
Tch, I have to provide you with a plan to revive issues to how they have been.
His hand reached for a bottle of alcohol on the close by desk.
His gaze flickered in the direction of the view of Rosenstark shining past the curtains.
Or extra exactly, in the direction of the professors quarters within the distance.
Raviass forehead furrowed much more.
The Hero hasnt contacted me.
He had clearly talked about having one thing to debate as a mother or father, however this was an apparent disregard.
Ravias spat on the ground in annoyance.
In reality, he despised the Hero.
The identical mercenary background, but he acts so excessive and mighty.
Beliefs, righteousness, honor, justice.
Ravias felt that he was an intensive hypocrite, sacrificing his life for such illusions.
It appeared that Luke was starting to be influenced by him as effectively, which he discovered much more displeasing.
Ravias shook his head bitterly and retrieved a stack of paperwork from a bag beside the sofa.
Shuffle-
They have been new contracts that had are available.
Surprisingly, a few of them have been written in code.
As Ravias skimmed by the contents, his eyes trembled barely.
Huh, how coincidental.
Ravias had been conducting a number of initiatives quietly for years.
One in every of them concerned artificially manipulating the path of the monster waves close to the Nice Mountain Vary.
A really profitable contract certainly.
For the reason that consumer may redirect monster waves to a different location comparatively inexpensively, it was worthwhile.
Ravias may earn extra gold than regular, and if the development was completed correctly, there could be no traces, so there was no danger of publicity.
Win-win.
In fact, the territories the monster hordes headed in the direction of would undergo, however
I dont care about that.
They have been weak and deserved to undergo.
From the start, Ravias had averted meddling with territories the place the three households have been sturdy, fearing retaliation.
Anyway, now, coincidentally, a contract had are available from an space he knew.
Themerin close to Solintail. If I conduct enterprise right here, Solintail will turn into a large number.
The face of the lady who had been speaking again to him just some days in the past got here to thoughts.
And the sight of Luke hiding her protectively behind him.
If he accepted this contract, that assured face would certainly flip pale with concern.
Ravias chuckled as he took a swig of whiskey.
Its dangerous to mess with the Heros disciple, however.
When a step-son doesnt hear, theres no scarcity of negotiation playing cards to play.
Nicely, its unlikely to occur.
He would submit Lukes withdrawal utility tomorrow and take him away.
Then he would bid farewell to this pitiful and hypocritical place without end.
Ravias closed his eyes as he completed the remaining whiskey.
He had no thought what would occur to him tomorrow.
It was past his expectations.
