Chapter 2 (1/2)

The day of triumphant return

The imperial capital was basked in celebration However the Earl’s mansion was the totally opposite It was a dead silence No celebration party, no welco ceremony, not even a simple dinner

The Earl hurried back to his uests, with the reason that after three years out in the war, he needed some personal space with his family

Even though this disappointed the guests, no one can refute this reason

Inside the Earl’sat each other

The look of his eyes were deep, depressing, and complex If he didn’t firmly believe that his wife never cheated The moment the Earl see the child, he questioned if this is really his son

The boy’s face and build is vastly different from the Earl The e ofbody, a wide chest, bulked arms, squared face, the look of a hero At least the Earl looked like this

But this little guy

Even though he’s only three years old, he’s too white, and skinny I heard he had an injury a o, perhaps that’s the explanation

The three year old Earl’s heir, Duwei Roland, looked at his father with indifferent eyes He didn’t cry like children his age This disappointed the Earl According to custoer they will become

Yet, this boy was a little too quiet He just sat on his bed, with hands on his knees, and stared at me with a bit of curiosity and inspection

The Earl thought to hi, how can a child’s eyes have such cos?

While the Earl was a little gloos were more complex

The Earl’s wife had soften Duwei’s heart with the events that happened But this ‘father’ that suddenly appeared

“He really can’t talk?” The Earl asked his ith a stern expression Tears started filling up her eyes Seeing this the Earl’s expression softened He thought to hi his wife alone A woive birth And he was not able to be by her side And their son beca to blame on this poor woman

The Earl said softly, “Honey, ill hire the wisest teacher in the kingdom He will be able to speak one day But his body is too weak The Roland fah battles and victories And eneral He can’t be this weak He’s already three, I think it’s ti his body should bulk up What do you think about Alpha? He’s h, and he’s royal to the fa nexttechniques”

Upon hearing her poor son will have to train at such an early age, tears poured down the ”

“Due to his body is weaker than e Otherwise how can he inherit the Roland family!” The Earl took his position firm and that was decided

The second day, after seeing the king and receiving his third rank 1 doeneral

Raymond Roland’s son is retarded, this is not a secret in the iloo the celebration ceremony

In the Mansion, the Earl and his son were staring at each other the second time However, the Earl’s wife is not here this time around The only outsider is Alpha

Earl Raymond had an unexplainable dislike to his child He felt that the gaze in the child’s eyes are not blank, there’s a hint of resistance Then he thought to himself, what can a three year old know? And he ay to war since the child was born He never even held the boy once It is only natural for the boy to see hier

Alpha stood in front of Duwei’s bed and held him up He took off the boy’s clothes and touched him from top to body Duwei resisted but his efforts were futile The strength of a first rank swords he can resist

Alpha gave out a sigh and put Duwei down Then he said to the Earl, “Master Earl, I”

“Alpha, you are my most trusted person Don’t hesitate too much and say whatever’s on your mind”

“Master Duwei’s body is very weak, and it seems like he was born deficient A body like this is worse than a co down the path of a warrior, I am afraid he won’t accomplish much”

“Then what do you think?”

“Why don’t we see if he has talent in other fields”

And with that, the Earl’s face darkened

The Earl was disappointed for a few days But under his wife’s co words, he cheered up a bit After all, this is his only son

The Roland’s reputation arriors However, in history, there was one or two known for their intelligence in the battlefield These ancestors didn’t fare well in combat, but they can command the army and control the battlefield
