Zio was back to normal, playing with his cousin and friends, he didn't worry about anything, he would sometimes practice sword with his father and go on a hunt with him, during this month Zio learned a lot from his father.

How to hunt, how to select your prey, how to finish his prey without making them suffer too much, Zaden was very happy to see his son learn all this very quickly, he wants his son to go out of the clan and explore the world, live the dream he didn't get to live.

He wants Zio to see how beautiful the world outside really is.

Two months passed and there were times when few people wearing the expensive uniforms would enter the clan and demand them to leave but all of them would end up in a pathetic state when they come across Zio's father who is very strong.

Some of them even arrived when Zio's father was not around and they met his grandfather who broke all their bones and tied them up to their horse and sent them back to the city.

City Navira_

This is the city which is next to Mount Asura, also the capital of the Navi Kingdom, this Kingdom is not a massive kingdom but the people living in Navira city are living very well expect the poor but it really doesn't matter how they were living because the poor suffer in every country no matter where they are.

The Navi Kingdom is spread across a 1,000,000 Km^2 area in the southern region of the continent, not the biggest kingdom but not the smallest as well, City Navira being its capital means the king lived here but not anymore.

The king of Navi passed away but the biggest problem the kingdom is facing right now is that there is no heir to his throne, he has a daughter but she refused to take the throne and left the kingdom to find her own path.

Now the Kingdom is divided into two factions, each faction supporting a different grand duke who wants to take over and become the next king, the queen of the kingdom is helpless, it's just for namesake that she is sitting on the throne, all her supporters have turned their back on her after the death of her husband, now she just waits and watches as the two grand duke fight till one of them come knocking asking for the throne.

Eastside of the city is a grand estate that belongs to the Clian family one of the ruling members of this kingdom, there are guards everywhere roaming around and guarding this estate, they are all holding onto their swords and other weapons, ready to kill anyone who tries to sneak into the estate, these guards are wearing blue uniforms, the same color as that man who tried to evacuate Zio's clan from their home, but their uniform is not as beautifully decorated as his, they are just plain uniforms with leather armor with steel plates on the outside.

Inside the manner, in the meeting room, few people are sitting around the table with a frown on their face.

Right in the center is a middle-aged man with a long white beard and white hair, from a distance he will look like an old man due to his white hair and white beard but upfront he looks much younger but he really is not, he is even older than the reader's grandpa.

This man is 113 years old, one of the grand duke of this kingdom who is fighting against the other grand duke for the throne of this kingdom, his name Deminius Clian.

"Father, we need to take care of those bastards living near Mount Asura, their land is very precious and we need it for your ascension, once we have it, no one can stop you from becoming the next king"

A young man said, he seems to be in his late twenties but he is actually in his mid-fifties, he is the duke of this kingdom and the eldest son of his father, he also has a smaller brother and two sisters, one older and one younger.

This young man's name is Vivien Clian, if his father, Deminius Clian takes over the throne he will become the next crown prince, and his authority will be the highest after the king himself.

"I understand where you are coming from, my son, take a number of the house guards and eradicate those wildlings"

The Grand Duke gave his command.

"Yes father"

Vivien Clian said excitedly and left the meeting room with his squire right behind him.

After he left the room became very silent.

"Grand Duke, your son is very impulsive, these wildlings are not easy to deal with, everyone we sent came back badly injured or traumatized, why did you send your son to handle them, he could suffer the same fate"

One of the Grand Duke's followers, the minister of finance said with a worried voice, serving the Grand Duke means he has to be loyal to the Duke as well and he doesn't want to follow someone who is not fit to be a ruler.

"I know, but it's best for him to figure this out himself, even though he has grown to be an adult he is just too impulsive and does not think about the consequence of his actions, facing these wildlings might serve him as an important lesson"

The Grand Duke said.

"But what if they killed him?"

The minister asked.

"Don't worry they won't, till now they killed no one and the ones that died were not important to us, the head of this small clan is smart, he knows what to do and what not to do in this situation, the worse that could happen is my son might get wounded badly but it's still can be cured"

Deminius said and put an end to the meeting.
