Inside the castle, a group of people had gathered at the throne room as a man who sits on the throne slaps his hand into his armchair.

"Fool! You sent the letter to him?!" - King

The king, who was glaring at a young boy, almost tried to slap him with his hand, yet, lays his hand down as he began to turn to the rest of the people whom are subservient to him.

"What do you think of this Sevian?" - King

"I request your majesty to send Sir Marus-" - Sevian

"*Cough* *Cough*..... Your Majesty, it seems that I am unwell.... I request for a time off from my duty for a month...." - Marus

A man with a long hair, tied behind him, rearranges his glasses as he turns to the large man while the man began to cough as if he had caught on some disease.

Yet, all the people there just stared at him with dead eyes, not believing his words to be the truth.

Facing such stares, the man stopped coughing and just stared downwards, slowly tears began to shed from his eyes...

"Y-your majesty.... I-i don't want to face him..... Duke Artonis is a monster and....and....he isn't human at all...." - Marcus

All of them fell silent as if that memory of that time was still fresh on their minds.

Seeing The Commander of the Kingdom's Knight Division being toyed till mental breakdown, the perpetrator just scoffs him off and begans lashing out insults while beating him till the inch of his life.

"As the sole commander of the Kingdom's Army, I expected you to hold out for more than an hour but not even for 5 mins, you already lay on the ground and I haven't even used magic on you. Just pure swordsmanship." - Artonis

"You are tasked to defend the kingdom, given the title by the king and now you lay on the ground, defeated by a feudal lord no less who had just stopped honing his blade and hone his pen. I expected better from you." - Artonis

"Tch. If it not for your noble bloodline and my job as a feudal lord, meatheads like you who can't even defend himself are deemed incompetent to even become the commander. If your father, hailed as a hero were here to see such a pathetic side of you, I also bet he would try to adopt me as his son and exile you for being useless. " - Artonis

Cold, arrogant and full of insults to throw at, the commander who was not only publically humiliated by the king and those around him, could only shed tears in pain as Artonis clicked his tongue and began healing him.

"Now, lets begin your retraining once more..." - Artonis

"No.... Please no..." - Marcus

"Come now Son of the Former Hero. You should bask in this opportunity to grow into a splendid commander like your father did, I also happen to know magic to heal injuries as I am rather becoming proficient of it." - Artonis

"Y-you monster...." - Marcus

He soon see Duke Artonis slowly becoming more and more terrifying in his eyes as the Duke just casually deny his words.

"Sir Marcus, I am a pure human race and a true noble bloodline to the kingdom. Why am I refer as a monster when all humans could also achieve this result? You however just lack more training as even a meathead such as you could become as strong in the pure skill of swordsmanship. Now, come and lets continue our training. " - Artonis

"Noooo!!!!" - Marus

Snapping back to the throne room, everyone was surprised at the commander's outburst of his voice as he quickly turned to the young boy and proceeds to grab hold of him.
