《Raghnall: The Tales of Valor》1.2 Daily Life of a Noble
Advertisement
What confuses Lu Yan, is that the memories he gained from the former Raghnall are inconsistent to his current body, he was quite sure that those memories happened when the former was already in his early twenties but seeing his reflection against the mirror says otherwise, this body is clearly that of a 6 or 7 years old boy.
So to say, a lot of those memories of the former hasn't happened yet in this current time. Reasons for this discrepancies are a bewilderment for Lu Yan, a military man like him has no time to spare for unreasonable phenomenon, but being the one who's experiencing it made him think in-depth of the situation.
But after so much time, he can only argue that the heaven works in mysterious and inexplicable ways. Might be due to his reincarnation, or maybe those thoughts were just a figment of the former's imagination but alas the pain was too real to say otherwise.
Unlike his previous life that mainly centered in learning the Arts of War, honing his skills through multiple arduous regimen and raising arms against the rivaling territory, a life of a noble can be describe as tedious due to the long hours of dullness.
His day as usual starts at dawn, cause as a soldier, strictness is the embodiment of will, the breakfast as the first meal which consisted small amounts of bread, few vegetables and preserved fruit in honey, a variety of meat like pork, beef, lamb, mutton and others, fresh water fish, and cheese.
Different from Rion and Regan, Raghnall's older siblings with the ages of 12 and 10 respectively, he is taking up lessons in noble etiquette and protocols, unlike the rough manners of a warrior, noble etiquette is not a mere act of good manners and right conduct, but is the code of honor of a gentleman, it demands strict inviolability of his words, incorruptibility of his acts and a ramrod adherence to the noble's principles, because to thee that belongs to the Fitzgerald Family, are not only descendants of a knight but will always remain the defender of the lands and the champion of the people.

On the other hand, Rion and Regan follows their father Duke Fitzgerald in attending the matters of the manor, in regards to the current state of the fiefs' crops, harvests, and supplies. Matters regarding the finances like rents and taxes of the merchants are also discussed.
Thereafter, in the afternoon they will handle the complaints, disputes and the matters of the people, while Raghnall on the other side trains his swordmanship.
Sword fighting, is the art of using a sword as an extension of the arm during duels or battle, noble knights such as the Fitzgeralds uses the arming sword as their main weapon, it is a straight, double-edge sword with a single-handed cruciform hilt with a blade ranging from 60 to 80 centimeters in length, but variations also existed depending on the users preference.
The Fitzgeralds, as a family descended from the knights, prided themselves of their skills in battle, thus the younglings of the family starts learning the way of the sword from an earlier age, usually at the age of 4 or 5, by learning the all kinds of sword, its pros and cons, and thereafter practice the fundamentals of sword training to build a solid foundation, which consisted of exercises pertaining to strength, agility and stamina enhancement.

Tower of Somnus
When humanity first encountered alien life, we were judged and found wanting. The Galactic Consensus interviewed our leaders and subjected us to a battery of psychological tests to determine our progress as a society. They found us to be selfish, wasteful, impulsive, and boorish neighbors. Earth was blockaded and our collective encounter with our extrasolar neighbors rapidly faded from memory. All they left behind was a hypercomm relay and a handful of subscriptions to a massively multiplayer game that participants played in their sleep. The Consensus said that it would let us interact with our neighbors in a controlled setting. That it would teach us to be better members of the galactic community. The megacorporations that controlled Earth ignored the game until they learned that the powers earned from clearing dungeons were just as real when day broke. Magic, supernatural abilities and rumors exploded from nothing and a subscription to The Tower of Somnus became a status symbol. Katherine ‘Kat’ Debs doesn’t have much, but it could be worse. Born in an arcology, she was assigned a job in the megacorporation that raised her almost as soon as she could work. Despite the stability of her corporate life, she wanted something more. A chance to claw her way up the rigid social and financial ladder to make something of herself. A chance that wouldn’t come naturally to someone as familiar with dark alleyways and the glint of steel as she was with office work and corporate niceties.Book One is up on Kindle Unlimited as of 7/6/22 - https://www.royalroad.com/amazon/B0B2X3L8H5

Urban Divinity
He slowly backs up until his back is against the wall like my own, "You're..my neighbor?" He points to my door and I nod my head quickly. He hums softly, "You been here a while?" He asks and I nod my head once again. He chuckles, "Ya head hurt?" I nod again but stop as he laughs softly, "I-I mean.. no.. it doesn't." My cheeks burn red as I look at my shoes, "I-It doesn't hurt.." I repeat like a dummy and listen to him clear his throat, "So do you actually live there or was it bull?" He nods to my door and I play with my fingers, "Yeah.. I do.." I feel his eyes watch me and I quickly stop. "You live with your boyfriend or do you like sweatshirts that reach your knees?" He teased, making a giggle slip past my lips. I look away to the floor again, "I-I like big shirts... a lot." I mumble softly and he nods his head, "Hol' up." He puts his box down before walking over to one of the grey bins. I nosily watch as he pulls out a big grey sweatshirt, "Here." He holds it out for me to take and I stare at him with wide eyes, "F-For me?" I hesitantly grab the soft fabric as he chuckles, "Nah for ya mom." I puff my cheeks a little and give him a small glare, "Hush." He leans back against the wall and shakes his head, "It's cold out. You should put it on." ____________________________She was a shy girl from the city with no spine and a list of problems so long that it could touch the floor and roll off her shoes.
