《Battle Realms System》Deckard family's ambitions

"And with that, Sir Sandor was finally able to kill the enemy commander."

"Would that be all?"

"Yes, father. Oh, and we found this knight manual, it allows one to train until the holy knight level. As long as we can have a holy knight retainer, we can finally have the foundation to be a great noble of the kingdom."

"Holy knight? It must be given to Cain. He must become a holy knight as soon as possible."

"Haiya! Lord Baron! It is I Genji, at your service. Upon seeing this manual, I found out that the difference between Knight, Grand Knight and Holy Knight is merely in the quality and amount of vindictiveness. Knights have gaseous particles of vindictiveness, but the movement of the particles are rigid. Grand knight's have liquid vindictiveness, with all the advantages of liquids such as water, in itself. The Holy Knight's vindictiveness has solid properties at first glance, but it gets weirder from here on out. Holy Knight vindictiveness is stable and compact yet they are still able to move freely, capable of moving fast in any direction without colliding with each other. It's like knights get the disadvantage in everything while Holy Knights get every advantage there is, and grand knights are merely there as transition."

"I really would love to indulge you son, but I don't understand what you are saying. I just want to know if you can become a holy knight with this manual?"

"I know my body. I don't need that manual to become a holy knight, I need something else, something different. To imitate properties that can be found in the holy knight's vindictiveness, I think I need the finest spirit of our kingdom, Dragon's Breath. Can you procure a bottle for me, Lord?"

"No, impossible, the king wouldn't allow it, besides, you don't even know what disgusting stuff they use to brew that liquor. You Don't Want This, so I suggest you back down."

"Really? Now I'm more curious about it."

"Trust me, you wouldn't want to know."

"That's too bad. Well, it could be replaced with an all-you-can-eat earth drake buffet. Now, I just need a team to hunt a drake for me."

"If we can get an army of Holy knights to hunt a drake for you, then we'd be able to walk sideways around the whole kingdom already. No need for you to advance into Holy knight anymore. Besides, Holy knights would rather do other high reward, low risk jobs, than gamble their lives hunting a vengeful monster which can also evolve into a higher level wyrm. You get the idea right? Brother, I think you'd be better off by following the manual's training process."

"You know me brother, my constitution is different. Nevermind, I'll find a way myself. Hmm, which gives me an idea. Wait for tomorrow, I'll show you both a big surprise."

"A surprise?! We'll be waiting for it then. Oh, by the way, when will you leave?"

"Um, I still need to prepare some new equipment for the trip, so I hope I can get some blacksmiths to help me."

"Sure, you can get the designs to the new guy tomorrow, Gregory's other son, what's his name again? Greg? Geoff? Jeremy?"

"George."

"George? Isn't one named George already?"

"Father, there really were two sons named George. Different mother's you know."

"Right! George it is then. Hand them over to George, the new blacksmith. But after doing that, I want you to do something for me in exchange. There are rumors in Newtown of a witch. Since you're the expert on witches here, I need you to find out the truth and that the people there are not just making things bigger than what they really are. You have my permission to deal with the matter as you see fit."

"A witch? Then I shall deal with it, lord Baron."

"The both of you should rest now."

"Thanks, lord Baron/father."

Edward and Genji left the study to proceed to their accommodation.

"Cain, when will you introduce the both of them to father?"

"Maybe tomorrow, I shall first persuade them to donate their martial arts manual's, even if theirs can't reach holy knight, having more knight and grand knight cultivation manual's shouldn't be bad for the barony and Edward, just take that firearm as my gift to you. If you want additional ammunition, ask Fladnag, he should be able to prepare them for you."

"Really, thanks brother, this contraption is too easy to use. But it's too slow, no wonder why this weapon invented by the dwarves was not able to replace bows. If we can have an army of soldiers using these firearms, I'm sure they won't be inferior to a holy knight's deterrence."

"Brother, it's not impossible, but with our barony's current strength, we still aren't capable of that, instead we will be eaten by the surrounding nobles if we show something we aren't supposed to have. But don't worry, just wait a little longer. Our family's rise is just around the corner."

"Yes, brother, you should go ahead now, you still have to please three women. Forgive me for saying this brother, but aren't you overdoing yourself like this. I don't know much about your physique but I really think that you shouldn't be that desperate, right? Having Mary to serve you should be enough. Why add two more girls, that aren't even that good looking anyways? Seriously speaking brother, if I haven't known you for a long time now, I would have thought that you were some stupid serf that got smitten by some whore plying her wares around the streets of the kingdom's capital."

"Brother, you don't understand. My physique needs them. Deep inside them, I felt the same feeling I have felt in Mary when she disappeared that night. What is my cultivation now, brother? Everybody thinks I'm already a grand knight because I can fight one, but they don't remember that I'm just a soldier, brother. Don't you think that once I become a knight, maybe I can already rival a holy knight?"

"Cain, the difference between knight and holy knight cannot be compared to the difference between soldier and grand knight. You, of all people should know that."

"What's wrong with hoping, brother? Perhaps what I said is true, maybe tomorrow, I can rival a holy knight or even a dragon knight."

"Outrageous! Cain, those are not cabbages you can get merely by wishing for it. I think you should stop dreaming and be more down to earth like me. Remember your words Cain, a journey of a thousand miles starts with a single step. As your brother, It is my duty and responsibility to shoot down your boundless ego, for that might be the death of you someday."

"Forgive me, lord Edward, I merely got carried away."

"Go, you should at least try. Maybe what you said is true, if you can really fight a dragon knight with merely a grand knight's cultivation, then I will kowtow to you and call you grandfather."

"Woah! Brother, you really don't have to do that at all, but if you really insist, it's a deal!"

"Then, what are you waiting for? I shall take my leave, enjoy the rest of your night with the ladies."
