TBATE - Le Roi Et Le Prince

Chapter 2-Mana Core

8 months later

Arthur POV:

About two years have passed since I made my difficult journey to the study room.

From then, I had been constantly trying to gather the little bits of mana spread out in my body and focus it in an attempt to form a mana core. Let me tell you, it was a slow and arduous task. I would find myself having an easier time trying to learn how to walk on my hands and eat with my feet in this damnable body than trying to will my mana core to condense.

but these past two years, have not gone to waste, for I finally gathered all of my mana into my solar plexus and was in the midst of condensing a mana core when...

*BOOM*

Merlin Dawn POV :

These last months have been a real ordeal, between the return to xyrus, my presentation to many people whose I can't remember.

My mother is very ... special ... Even though I am not her son she treats me as a real mother would and this love has helped me a lot mentally especially after the death of my biological parents, I hadn't noticed that I was in need of this maternal love. So I ended up treating her like my real mother.

I was also able to make good progress in the formation of my mana core, even if it took me a long time to find the right way to do it, I progress quickly, I think I'll be able to finish it in less than a year just in time for the bandit attack that will have to meet the Twins Horns and arthur on the way to Xyrus.

"Merlin where are you?"

'she's already found me, I need to get out of here fast' I'm trying to find a way to escape, when I was grabbed

"You were there, naughty boy, it's time for class."

"But mom, I already know everything this old man tells me, the books are more interesting," I said to my mother as she dragged me out of the library

"It's a no, little genius you're going to go to class with this old man, you can read your books afterwards"

"But..." 

"no discussion, I'm your mother and you're going to listen to me, if you already know everything the teacher tells you then you'll be done quickly"

"Yes Mommy" Damn, without his damned class I will have already formed my core, but disobeying my mother once was enough for me, I will never try again.

Today's classes mainly focused on the recent history of the kingdom, which I found interesting for once, the kingdom of Sapin is currently governed by Blaine and Priscilla Glayder, they have two children, Prince Curtis Glayder, 6 years old, and Kathyln Glayder, just under three years old. Blaine Glayder took power by overthrowing his father during the war against the Elves, he was supported by the mage Vidar Dawn, the house Rainfield the house Aurae and the house Wykes, these 3 great families were a central help to restore order in the country and facilitate the transition of power, the mage Vidar is the one who allowed the overthrow of the former king, It is said that he alone swept away the royal guard and allowed the faction of Blaine Glayder to take power in the capital. As a reward for their actions, he took Priscilla Rainfield as his wife, providing additional land and the title of duke to the Aurae and Wykes houses. He then ennobled Vidar who created the Dawn house and made him Duke and governor of the floating city of Xyrus.

Once the classes are over, I go to the library when I say my father's assistant "The master would like to see you in his office", he tells me

"I'm going right now," I wonder what my dad wants to talk to me about
