《Legacy: Lord Alba》Chapter 10: When you know it will be too late.
Advertisement
Frey cleared his head and asked, "my king what are your orders?"
Lewis said "first spread the news among the masses and inform both the queen and the third concubine to prepare the first and second prince for the day of sects recruitment. it's a great opportunity to join the sects. Taylor's great-grandfather will be arriving personally for this year recruitment so I would not be surprised if he takes Taylor with him to the Martial City. As for Nathan with his talent, it would be easy for him to be chosen by the Sects, all except the Royal Palace."
The Six Sects were the Royal Palace, Clan Gray, Martial City, Iron Castle, James Clan, and the Ocean Palace. All the sects territories were in the boundaries of different Kingdoms but they were not controlled by the royal powers except for the Royal Palace sect which was sponsored by the Royal family of the Sail empire, With the purpose of training elites for the service of the empire.
due to this, Lewis could not allow Nathan to join the royal palace sect. As for the Martial City, he has no hope of joining them because the examiner will be Taylor's great-grandfather, even though he's Taylor brother, they're competing for the throne. therefore he will not allow them being in the same sect but Lewis was confident that Nathan would be recruited by the remaining four powers.
"What about the third prince and the princesses?" Frey asked, but he already knew how this going to end.
The king did not pay any attention; all it comes to"Do what you want while you do not lose this king's face" those were his exact words.
"I understand," said Frey finally having made a decision he spoke "my king there is something I wanted to talk to you about"

"speak what's on your mind?" Said Lewis.
"After the Sects recruitment, I want to retire," Frey said while presenting his letter of resignation.
Lewis did not expect it and was shocked by this request, the old man in front of him was not only the prime minister but also his mentor during his initial years of reigning, he thought he would always be his counselor while he reigned as the king and now he wants to retire. he(king) said "Why so suddenly? Is there something that bothers you? everything has a solution. Just say it "
" Your Majesty Thank you for your words but this day had to come, Nothing bothers me, I'm just retiring from my post so that the younger generation can take charge, this old man will not always be alive after all "Frey just gave an excuse that it sounded good he could not tell him what he really thought.
(A good King must be impartial at all times that's the first thing I taught you but the brazenness and clear partiality you displayed, again and again, made me sick and I was considering retiring and stop working for you from a long time it's just that I just want to quit working under you as soon as possible.
One does not know the future, The future is unpredictable, Guessing or Betting. you(king) have placed your hopes on first and second prince while I place my hope on the third prince.
when I first met the third prince and saw his eyes, I felt small, I believed that all the years I studied were nothing compared to his knowledge I felt his disdain, arrogance and all my being trembled before his eyes, something I have never experienced in all my years as Prime Minister, in the future he will far outshine his brothers but when the time comes, would he still recognize you as his father ?, I hope you don't regret it after all it's too late anyway ... Miss Anna had a good son.)

After talking about other matters Frey says goodbye got up and left the office, Lewis did nothing but sigh, he knows he couldn't change Frey's mind so he let the time run its course.
at that moment, in Anna's bathroom, there was a baby inside the bathtub full of stinky black liquid. beside the baby were two young people with stunned faces. Anna was the first to speak and asked: "Hey Audrey, is that my son?"
Audrey replied, "I suppose the supreme potions cannot be underestimated." When she said that, she went to the bathtub and grabbed Alexander, cleaned him with a towel and watched him for a moment.
He used to have black hair with brown eyes, very average baby with no obvious traits but now his skin was clear as snow, soft and smooth, It would be envy of every woman, his light brown pupils changed to clear purple inside them you could feel a mystical light and finally his hair turned golden emanating a shine that made him look exalted, someone may associate his beauty with that of elf race!
"Miss, his appearance is too striking, what should we do?" Audrey said.
His change was too extreme, it even made his mother doubt whether he was her son. if someone finds about his changes no doubt they will connect it with the supreme potion then the queen and the third concubine would not hesitate to send someone to assassinate the third prince at any given chance.
