Chapter 5 - CHAPTER 5 BLOOD AND REBELSHIP

Ancient Imperial Calendar Year 1800

There are countless Dynasties in this world, they are divided into three categories: minor dynasties, major dynasties and ancient dynasties.

Minor dynasties are dynasties that rule villages and towns without a proper income and army, and this category also includes descendants of fallen noble dynasties.

Major dynasties rule cities, castles and large lands, have large incomes and a large army.

The ancient dynasties are very old and deep-rooted dynasties whose lineage dates back to the time of the Ancient Empire. The Kislavein Dynasty is the best example of these dynasties. They include dozens of large and hundreds of small dynasties, and they are authoritarian and powerful enough to control all of them. The exact number of their wealth and armies is unknown. The hair, eyes, aura and magic colors unique to the ancient dynasties are the symbols of their dynasties. The blood red of the Kislaveins, the silver of the Payrists and the colors they inherited from other dynasties represent their dynasties. Apart from all these, the ancient dynasties also stand out with their unique magic and sword techniques.

According to a tradition that has been going on for generations in the Kislavein Dynasty, children of the Kislavein begin to learn swordsmanship when they are 5 years old, and magic when they are 7. This tradition was started by the 17th Lord of Kislavein, Jarvin III. He was a genius of his age, extremely accomplished in swordsmanship and magic. He improved himself from childhood, slaughtered all of his brothers, and laid the foundations for the Kislavein's influence throughout the continent, turning his dynasty into a feared dynasty across the continent.

In order to increase the quality of warriors and mages in the Jarvin III Dynasty, he reorganized the education system from scratch. A person would start training for swordsmanship at the age of five, lay the foundations of their aura with long-term meditation and heavy training, so that they would be able to use more aura in the future, and start magic training at the age of 7, so that they could collect the mana in the air into their body by breathing, and have a larger mana pool in the future. Thanks to this, Kislaveyn warriors and mages always became stronger than other houses, on the other hand, members of the Dynasty who were of Kislaveyn lineage who were trained with this method became even stronger.

Seliarnevre closed her history book and looked at her five year old son. Ricardo was listening to his mother with a focused look. Seliarnevre smiled slightly.

"Now that you are five years old, you should start your training for swordsmanship."

said smilingly. Ricardo was excited. In his previous life, he had held a sword for almost his entire life, but in the five years since his rebirth, he had not even touched the handle of a sword. Now, he was happy to be using a sword again after so many years with a slight smile.

Shortly afterwards, the guard Richard Kislaveyn who would take Ricardo to the training ground entered the room. Richard had been assigned as Ricardo's personal guard when Ricardo was born, and now he would be Ricardo's master, whom he had protected for five years.

Richard bowed his head in a respectful and noble tone

"Greetings to my lady and my young lord, my lady, if the young lord is ready, we can go to the training ground"

Seliarnevre nodded, Richard took Ricardo off the chair and the two went to the training ground, but things were not going to go as Ricardo expected. Richard looked at Ricardo

"Young lord, I know how you dream, but we won't start using the sword right away. First, I will tell you how to create your aura. First, sit on the ground, cross your legs, put your hands on your knees, close your eyes and clear your mind of thoughts. Even if there is a man with a knife next to you, maintain your position and concentration, and do not open your eyes until you feel the aura. You must be wondering what this feeling is like, young lord. Let me tell you this: when your aura is formed, you will understand."

Ricardo didn't ask any questions. He sat down on the ground, crossed his legs, put his hands on his knees, and closed his eyes. In his previous life, it had taken him an hour to feel the aura, but this time, the situation was different. Thanks to his 70 years of experience, it only took him seconds to feel the aura. When he saw this, Richard's knees weakened in surprise. The record for feeling the aura in history belonged to Matheus II, the 24th Emperor of the Ancient Empire, for 12 minutes. The current Lord of House Kislaveyn, IV Orsman, had taken 17 minutes to feel the aura, but now, a first in history was happening. It had taken only seconds for Ricardo Kislaveyn, one of the youngest sons of the dynasty, to feel the aura.

Richard looked at his student with a face full of surprise and excitement. He was obsessed with the birth of the greatest genius in history, and there was no other witness to this moment. When Ricardo gathered the aura in his body, he opened his eyes and saw his master Richard looking at him. He was already aware of the incident. He knew the effects of sensing and creating the aura in seconds. If this incident was heard, an endless army of assassins could come after him. Although Seliarnevre was a great expert in intrigue, she also had her limits. Ricardo looked at his master and took a deep breath. He knew that this was going to be a long conversation. He had to convince his master and make sure he kept his mouth shut.

"Master I'm sure you want to tell everyone this but"

Richard interrupted his student with a serious expression on his face, he knelt down and started to speak

"Don't worry young Lord Ricardo I am very aware of what will happen if I announce this to everyone, meditate in the same position for a while and I will record your time as half an hour, since your brothers can feel the aura during this time, you can both not attract attention and grow stronger safely. I will train you in such a way that no one in this world, not even your father, House Lord IV Orsman, will be your equal"

Richard knelt down and bowed his head, speaking with the respect that no adult would speak to a 5 year old child.

"I will serve you with all my might, not because of duty but of my own free will, my young lord, accept my admiration and loyalty to you from now on, Richard Kislavein, loyal warrior of the House of Kislavein, descended from the House of Kislavein, 33rd Lord II Zarvion's son Felras, I swear that from now on, I offer you my sword, my honor and my loyalty."

Ricardo took the sword that Richard had handed him and leaned it against his chest, continuing the warrior oath of the Kislavein Dynasty.

"I, Ricardo Kislaveyn, son of the 65th lord IV Orsman, accept the loyalty of my kinsman, blood brother and master Richard Kislavein and I swear in the name of my father, the Dynasty Lord IV Orsman, that I will protect his honor and not disappoint him"

Thus, Richard became Ricardo's first sworn warrior, and this oath between the two continued until Richard's death.
