If not they will get a strict scold from the old Duke, especially that ''creep out'' part from the other maid''s. It is a common knowledge, that Zhield household is a Noble''s household with a Duke Title. Whereas the location of the noble''s kingdom is in Riezet Kingdom, where there are only 6 Duke stated there, and Zhield household were positioned as the last Duke household, and not exactly the weakest but the youngest one. Whereas the Saber Household were the middle older. Zhield''s household were originally a Marquis household, that get an increase just sometime after the war, and it is because their Young Duke''s achievement in that war.

It¡¯s as Grell say father...¡± Seeing that there¡¯s no hint of lie in his son¡¯s eyes, the old Duke start to laugh out loud. ¡°Huwahahahaha! Amazing! This child is a genius!

His 1st word should be father!¡± ¡°Nonono, it should be mother! Right Lynn~¡± Taking a glance at his parent, Lynn once again closing his eyelids. Thus, fallen asleep. Several years after... the relationship in the house, steadily improved. By this time, Lynn already 3 years old. And has starting to run round the mansion and talk fluently. Aside from his rapid development in intelligent, he always act like a child. A normal child. However, those gaps of his always make them remember that Lynn is still a child, and by no means a treasure that need to be preserved. The Zhield household¡¯s entire person is smart and kind. Never did they brought anything about Lynn is a thrown away kid. At the age of 5 Lynn, hear a talk about his mother that can¡¯t have a child. It¡¯s just a normal question from another Noble, but the ambiguous talk that Grell intrigued left him and the noble know about it. ¡®He is my child, that the heaven sent me through another way¡¯... How could a 5 years old kid known about that subtle knowledge? It is wrong if you thought that Lynn is a reincarnated person, and already have the knowledge of his previous life... Why? In order to answer that... The story will be fast forwarder to the time, when Lynn is 7 years old. At that time, Lynn brought to the castle by his father. It¡¯s the Royal castle. In that time, Lynn that already known that he isn¡¯t his parents biological child. Having a low self-esteem, and always act humbly. One could say that it is a good thing. But, one should know that kids whom have a low self-esteem are dangerous. Not for the other, but for the one who hold them dear. It¡¯s simply because, they will easily thought of another way to redeem the thing that their patrons do to them. In example, Japanese kamikaze force and those suicide terrorist. Why would they able to do that? Because they hold low of their life. Always though that with doing that, he will be able to do better rather than alive... In this situation, what Lynn did is 150 degree different than them. At the time, assassins snuck in to the castle. Before going to the point, you need to know. That the King have 3 child, 1 of them is a daughter, while the other 2 are son. The youngest and the eldest is the son, while Lynn in the castle. He already knows that the 3 child whom he plays with is the princes and princess. Knowing that they want to play with him, at first Lynn want to reject their offer in order to respect them. However, knowing doing that will create a rift between him and them. He politely accepts their offer. Thus, they play without knowing the danger they will face. The eldest Son, and the king to be, Rygart Falkner Riezet is an intelligent person. Although he¡¯s still a 10 year old child, he¡¯s already understood many difficult things. Though he¡¯s not good with interaction, he¡¯s good at many other things. Blond haired young boy, with a handsome face. The 1st Princess, Lydelia Falkner Riezet, is a kind and docile 9 years old kid. A haughty and tomboy princess, who make the servants, maids, and the guards always troubled. Beautiful child, with bright green eyes and blond hair. Russel Falkner Riezet, the 2nd prince, is a shy boy who always hides behind his siblings back, and always peeking at the sight of Lynn. A 7 year old, that always being spoiled by his family, as the youngest. They play like a kid would. They chat, like a kid should be. And they share their interest with each other... As the time goes, eve Lynn himself forgot to act. He starts to loosen up, and play joyfully with each other. However... The happy moment only last for a while. In the time, when the kids out of the guards view. The assassins play time begins... There are 4 assassins, in the attack moment. Lynn who play delightfully, actually able to pull himself out. A fragment of the future is play on his mind, that is his death... In the future fragment, all he could see only darkness. And the cries of the siblings, as well as the guards sound. At the same time, the cold, cold feeling in his whole body. Blood, that continuously seeps out of his body. With that fragment of vision he got, he stop on the place. He shouts to call the guards, and brandish his hidden knifes on his sleeve. The assassins shocked, and immediately attack the kids. Every stab and slash that come from the assassins¡¯ dagger, and every thrown weapon deflected by Lynn using a knife in his hands. To be exact, what he uses is a 60cm short sword, in both of his hand. Defending and deflecting, with both of his hand... Even though it¡¯s amazing, the energy usage is draining. At any time, he could collapse. However, only by using his sheer will. He¡¯s able to take the assassins¡¯ time. Even fatally injuring 2 of the assassins. By the time the guards come, the assassins as well as Lynn were already in drench of blood and sweat. Especially Lynn. His face is red, his rough is stagnated, he eyes is dim. He nearly loses his focus, and his hands were trembling. The assassins want to run, but they¡¯ve got no place to run. By the time they realized the situation they¡¯re in to... they¡¯ve already surrounded by 50 guards, including the anxious Zhield family¡¯s personal knights. In their last spurt, they at least will bring this damnable brat with them. Their fate has been locked, to die here and succeed in their mission or to die here failed their mission.

Look at that face¡­ oh my¡­ he really already have the same charisma as a gigolo at that age?... We approach him, and ask to play with us.

However, it¡¯s a sad thing. But, I realize the truth not long after. There¡¯s 4 person who comes out from the shadow, and while running, they shot the dagger and several needles to us. No, it¡¯s just me, and my siblings. Still, that kid protects us. Not once, not twice, he continuously deflects that dagger, that flying towards us. Times ticking, in my head, every second, every moment is very slow. While looking at the kid who soaks in sweat and blood in front of me. My hand clenching hard, I don¡¯t even feel the pain. When I see him, something in my mind calling to me ¡®look at that kid¡­ he¡¯s the same age as Russel, but he¡¯s so strong¡­ it should be you! The crown prince whom protecting him!

Instead of achievement, what the guards receive is a capital punishment, because of his stupidity in shouting a warning to the assassins that make the assassins agitated and make them attack desperately, at the same time as his negligence in keeping the safety of the princes and princess, and the heaviest sin of stealing achievement of duke Zhield¡¯s son. There¡¯s no compromise of that because of the fury of the crown prince, he was executed at that day.

And somehow or another, the princess was able to see that. Bad news always came in the peaceful days. In the 13th month of the year, Xierz Empire launches their 1st attack to the Riezet Kingdom. In order for them to occupy the vast and fertile territory of the kingdom¡¯s, in the battle there¡¯s a total of 400 casualty in the defending troops. Because of the mountainous terrain of the border, the commander that stationed there able to repel 40.000 infantry of the Xierz Empire with only 12000 archers and soldier stationed there. So, a direct order to call the nobles and their forces to enter the battle issued. This event creates a disturbance to the circle of nobles. Even so, the first to comply is the Dukes force. Riezet Kingdom had 4 dukes that in power, that is the recently appointed Zhield house, the Saber house, the sahm house, and the Lance House. Each of the Dukes represents their household cherished weapon. The weapon that bestowed to them by the king in the day they appointed to be a noble household. Shield for the Zhield¡¯s household, Spear for the lance household, Sword for the Saber household, and Bow to the sahm household. In a day their forces gathered amount to 10.000 of infantry and archer. It¡¯s only that much because, they must go to the border in the fastest time possible. So those 10.000 soldiers were all elites from the army of theirs. And as expected, by the time they arrived at the fort. The border soldier diminished to 3000 soldier in just a couple of day, and all of them in the brink of collapse and mental stress. Luckily, the arrivals of the dukes increase their morals. Which resulting retreat from the Xierz Empire that diminished to just 25000 soldiers. Thus, the 1st war against Xierz empire result is a total victory from the Riezet Kingdom.

"It looks like, we''ve been trapped here..." "Yes, Saber, Never would I know that we''d die in the same place huh..." "hahaha! Sahm! I never expect to have the same idea as you... then, Lance? what do you think!" "Guahahah! ol'' fogey! Of course, I know what you guys think! I and zhield bro have been ready anytime!" "Indeed! let''s make those treacherous bastard feel our power! the 4 dukes of Riezet!" "Hey! count me in too!" hearing the shout from our old friend, Frezgour the general of Riezet who''s feel abandoned, we laugh out loud and madness flown from our eyes. soon after, cries of despair reverberated on the fort, although we can''t kill the enemy outside, it''s a simple thing to do if it''s only slaughtering those fools inside the fort... "Damn it! Marquis Lily! thesedukesare monsters! Gyaaa *slashed*" "Damn it! those fools outside must be grinning their mind out of this! they should''ve already advance here! why those fools of Xierz taking their time!" "Shiiit! there''s no one in the vanguard anymore! the rear guards have been decimated! we''re doomed!" hahaha! those fools can blame their stupidity to enter a den of tigers with their puppies! with this, at least the enemyoutside won''t take any soldiers from our side, and there won''t be any traitor to come back to the Riezet Kingdom! Not long after, the slaughter ends, thus, Sahm said... "Something''s weird... there aren''t any sounds outside... what''s wrong?..." Indeed... what is... "Phew... ol'' zhield, looks like our ol'' life had yet to end eh..." "Huh? what is it, Lance? what''s wrong outside..." "Oooh, such a tactic! such a magnificent trail of blood, look ol'' zhield, that face seems familiar..." "Right, just as Saber say... looks like that face is familiar... " Curious, I peek at the battlefield outside, the south side which connects us to the border between Xierz and Riezet has shown that a battle being fought on the mountain side and the road side... however, there''s only a small river of blood on the mountain, while there''s magnificent trail of blood on the roadside... "hmmm, it''s too far to look at them from here, but, it''s a good thing to advance our troops! let''s go! we need to help the person there!" said Frezgour in an exhilarated voice, I can understand him, this is a chance to reverse the thing! with this, not only can we stay alive! we can even destroy Xierz''s troops in one swoop! "Charge!" "Charge!" "Charge!" the sound of hooving cavalry reverberates the surrounding field of corpses, and thus, our army advance and helping the anonymous army which is led by a juvenile covered with blood and gore... "That sword technique..." Gasp! "Lynn!" "Ohh! hi gramps! father! let''s kick these puny puppies out and go home... I need to take a bath..." said Lynn, while continuing to slashing both of his hands to the surrounding Xierz''s soldier... And this is the 1st battle of his which being spoken in myth and legends, as the coming historian of Riezet will believe as a fairy tale of the olds...
