《Legacy: Lord Alba》Chapter 12: I am your Young Master
Advertisement
When Audrey heard that she began to doubt "So, what do you think happened?"
Alexander replied: "Easy, you were poisoned"
Audrey deeply denied "Impossible, if it was like that my health would have deteriorated, also I prepared everything for miss Anna, you and me, be it meals, medicine or daily necessities so it is impossible for us to be poisoned."
"Audrey, not all poisons utilized to kill, this a special poison which does not affect the vitality of the person but harms their cultivation."Alexander said, Then continued " As you know to improve and breakthrough to the next stage in the martial steps one has to get rid of the impurities in the body, this poison acts upon this principle, just imagine that instead of taking a common medicinal potion you take an adulterated one with more impurities, that instead of benefiting your cultivation it harms it by building impurities in your body which prevents you from advance further no matter how much you train ultimately leading to weakening your foundation. I imagine you buy the cultivation resources from a store in the capital right?"
when she heard what Alexander said she was stunned, she bought the resources for her and Miss Anna in the number one potion store of the Alba kingdom, the"Fancy Potion Store," it was known for its good reputation and fair prices She also checked their background before buying from them and the alchemist Benedict Hail was an honest person who could not be bought, so when she received this revelation, it was shocking. Audrey wanted to speak but the voice on the other side continued "Do you think it's impossible, for a veteran alchemist to adulterate a few potions without anyone noticing it must be quiet easy, also just think about it in these years there must be some kind of news related to the alchemist of that store."

Audrey after thinking about it for a moment opened her eyes staring straight into Alexander she said " Two years ago, there was a news saying that out of nowhere the two sons of Benedict were accepted into the Martial City, for many people this news confused them as his children did not possess any great talent to be accepted by the martial city, but it never occurred to me, that it was in exchange for poisoning us."
Alexander said "Do you think it was only us?, I think they did it with all the concubines! this could be the very reason why the princess and I have no talent hmph."
" What do you mean? "(Audrey)
"Simple, usually when cultivators want to have offspring they often take several pills before fertilizing, and during their pregnancy with the hope that their children have a great innate talent, but in this case, It was the other way around. I sure my mother was already poisoned when I was fertile, which affected my innate talent hmph. I imagine that the queen or the third concubine are behind this. as the prince's parents, they must have wanted to be sure that their sons would not face any more competition for the throne so they hatched this scheme to mess with the talent of other prince and princesses, hmph. Tell me, doesn't it seem strange to you, my father in this part of the precinct is considered talented. The same goes for my mother, but I, their son only have average talent?" said Alexander
" But why did they have to enact this even to the princesses they are innocent in all this, besides that they can not inherit the throne," asked Audrey
" Any of the concubines can bear a child, and it's unknown if it's going to be a girl or a boy until after the childbirth, have not heard an idiom "Better kill a thousand innocents than let the guilty loose," they did all this right in front of his noses and That stupid king didn't even find anything suspicious, that incompetent piece of shit" Alexander said,

Alexander was furious, in these past two years he had always thought that his talent was less than his parents, but when he saw a potion his mother consumed while she trained he immediately recognize that it was altered. But as they were being watched and add to that he was just a year old baby he could not say anything and just swallow his anger. but now that he had some freedom he swore that "Since you played with me in this way, I'll give it back to you a thousand times worse."
On the other hand, Audrey was standing still, she never considered this plot but when she thought and connected the points, everything he said made sense but still she asked: "Can you prove it?"
Alexander was not offended, he knew that she did not trust him completely, so he simply replied "Proving it is easy, you just need to get a potion made by that alchemist spill it on a piece of meat, a drop would suffice, if the potion is unaltered it will make it the meat tastier but if it is altered then the meat will begin to rot."
After that Audrey rushed out of the room and ran to the royal kitchen, took out a piece of meat that was in salt, did what Alexander told her and dropped a drop on the meat after a few seconds the meat began to rot. Seeing this, Audrey just collapsed on her knees, she could not believe what was happening, they have been poisoned for all these years all because of her negligence Miss Anna had not yet advanced, because of her young master lacks talent, it was all her fault.
Audrey began to cry in the dark blaming herself for these factors, After a few minutes footsteps were heard and a small figure entered the kitchen, Audrey raised her head between sobs, only to see a two-year-old baby with golden hair staring at her with his purple eyes. she could not believe what she has experienced in the last few minutes. This baby discovered what she could not apprehend, she could not help but ask "Who are you?"
Alexander by her side just smiled and said "I am your young master"

However, some humans refused to change or adapt along with them. They believed in purity and refused to interbreed with magikind. Known as the manush, they were a rarity among society. Now, in the fifth millennia, the manush are thought to be extinct. With magikind ruling the world, a three-way war grips society between Eurasia, Afro-Australian Alliance and The Americas. In these uncertain times, a manush called Gin enters the Eurasian army. From there, our journey unfolds. A story of how mankind could realistically evolve while still pushing boundaries. PS.
