“Heheh , you may have defeated us Geld, but many others will rise to end your tyranny. Your happiness will be short lived “

Geld’s face remained cold and unchanged. He indeed was not happy, his predecessors ruled countries, they were royalty while he had struggled 10 years to conquer Wyvern’s Reach .

”Lord, the city is yours. Everyone surrendered before your might . Your rank now will jump to viscount since you will be ruling 3 major cities “

The man who spoke was joyful, unlike his Lord he was happy to have conquered a city as big as Wyvern’s Reach. To mortal warriors such as himself, having his name engraved in the history books was the peak of his ambition.

“Since the war is over, your life shall also end “

Under the worshipping gaze of his followers, a crescent shaped aura energy was released from his dark red spear and the heads of all his enemies fell .

30 people beheaded , just like that !

Every soldier on the battlefield swallowed their saliva and lowered their head, lord Geld’s charisma wasn’t the only thing that made them follow him. They also feared him!

“Lord, news reached our camp . Lady Clara is about to give birth “

At the mention of his pregnant wife, his facial expression turned gentle, while the soldiers lost it completely.

They were all aware of lady Clara’s strength since she normally accompanied her husband to war .

To them, she was as much of a monster as lord Geld was, being from the house of Ymir whose all their descendants were elemental mages they called her the snow queen . Yes , she was very skilled on ice magic and was as ruthless as her husband.

“ Rey, call in the officials and have them take control of the city before the commoners decide to riot “

Reymond made an expression as if he was enlightened by otherworldly knowledge.

“ Now I understand why you brought those fat bastards to the battlefield, it was to calm down the commoners “

“Just have them lower the taxes a bit and throw out some free food, the commoners will shut up and obey sooner or later “

He got on his horse and to the relief of all the soldiers, he yelled .

“I ride back home, take your time to rest and calm down the civilians .

Don’t let your guard down, certain aristocrats might have some aces up their sleeves . If they try anything funny you can plunder them all you like “

Massive cheers were heard , “YEAHHHHHH”

.......................

On the other hand, in the city called RedRun where the lord’s castle was built, the bells of the Set’s Church were continuously ringing, many of the genuine followers of lord Geld were happy to welcome his first heir , while many others feared the new child even though he wasn’t even born yet .

“ Child of BloodSpear Geld and the Snow Queen, what kind of monstrosity is coming to life “

Such were the fears of all commoners, only descendants of the 30 noble houses had powerful skills, weapons and magic.

To them they were simply monsters , it made sense to be called descendants of Gods themselves .

Thats what the fools thought , their limited thinking feared going beyond that .

“The strong ones are what they say they are”

In this world, you were credible if you were strong, words of the weak meant nothing, no matter how honest and truthful .

“Welcome back home, your benevolence “

The castle guards and maids kneeled, while the butler called James only bowed slightly and welcomed him in .

“The Lady has given birth to a very healthy son, your lordship finally has a heir “

Geld started laughing maniacally, daughters rarely inherited strong powers .

To commoners they were monsters as well but, by noble standards women did not inherit any power spirit which was the source to all their magic .

“Which spirit has he inherited, how does his spear look like ? Is it red like mine, or is it black like my fathers? Answer me butler , what’s he like ? “

“ The young lord is.... well , I’d rather have your lordship see for yourself “

He opened the door to his chambers and the view in front of him was shocking .

12 maids and the midwife was frozen solid into a sculpture, 4 guard’s heads were on the ground and bloody .

At the huge golden bed lay a beautiful silver haired woman, smiling gently at the silver haired baby sleeping soundly in her arms .

“Wha.... BUTLER, what happened here “

“Calm down husband, our son Did it”

“Our son.. wha.. how? “

“I have given birth to a genius, not only can he wield ice magic more powerful than mine, he was also born with a dark red sword on his hand . Not a spear, a sword.. Do you understand what this means? “

Geld’s shock froze him solid, he looked just like the live sculptures next to him .

“But ... there have been no magic wielders in our family for a thousand years... and a sword.. the only one who used a sword was the founder.. Could this be...”

He snapped out of it and gave the order .

“Butler, kill anyone that knows of my son’s power, if the other houses find out he is a once in a thousand years genius they will send waves of assassins. We cannot risk it”

“Your lordship, there’s no need for that.

Your son already took care of it “
