Chapter 13: Chapter 13- Finding A Teacher(Edited)

3 / 3

I woke up after a few hours of sleep, and I could instantly tell the difference. I could feel certain particles in the air floating.

'So this must be mana.'

Closing my eyes, I tried to focus inside my body, and in the area where a small structure was first seen, now had a completed plate floating majestically.

"So this is my plate? It certainly looks strong."

Plates are the base from which you build your power. It forms when you turn 10 years old. The more you cultivate, the more plates you keep above it, creating a tower.

That aside, I could feel the power residing in my body. I was tempted to start cultivating, but the first time you move mana, it should be done under supervision for safety.

I got out of my bed, had lunch with my little sister, earning some affection points, and went to see my mother to get permission to head outside the mansion.

Entering my mother's office, I saw her buried in her work. Ever since my so-called father died, she had to deal with all the stress of the Dukedom.

If it weren't for her being a powerful warrior, she would have long since fainted. Speaking of which, I started to remember the background of my mother.

'The only princess before the emperor and the younger sister of the current emperor,' she was said to have great talent in swordsmanship, and she had joined the military, creating her brigade and achieving merits.

It's how my parents met. My father was a commander, though not much in strength, he was said to be a genius in leading the army.

While I was going over my background, my mother lifted her head from the heap of documents. Seeing her child, the only one within the household with purple eyes, she smiled sweetly, inviting me to her lap to sit.

Seeing my mother call me, just like a young boy happy from her mother's call, I ran up to her, sat on her lap, and used her breast as a pillow I sat.

Grace looked towards her child who looked all the same but different. At first, she was really worried about him. Due to the incident with her husband, her child had started to form an introverted personality.

She was afraid that he would be unable to come out of that, but thankfully he started to change recently for the better.

She had received reports of what had happened these weeks, and to say she was surprised would be an understatement. She knew that her family was not the same after her husband's death, but she just didn't have any time to deal with it due to her work, and she was deeply guilty about it too, but her son had come up to the task and did it for her.

She was deeply relieved when she heard that her children had started to play with each other again. Looking at her son sitting on her lap so innocently, she couldn't help but pinch his cheek.

'Sigh, I need to spend more time with my kids.'

Being seated on my mother's lap, I looked at her. She was looking at me with a myriad of emotions and thoughts. I am no psychic, but I could still pretty much guess what she was thinking.

So I turned towards my mother and switched on the caring-innocent-adult-child mode.

"Mom, is something the problem? You seem deep in your thought."

Grace was pulled out of her monologue by her child and saw his deeply worried look at her. Feeling touched, she responded.

"No, I am fine Austy, it's just that your mother is just feeling a bit sleepy, that's all, no need to worry."

"Mom, you don't need to worry about us. We know that the reason you don't have time for us is that you are busy, and we don't hate you for it."

"We love you no matter what."

Saying so, I kissed her on the cheek and began patting her head like an adult consoling a child.

+1000 affection.

My actions brought a small smile to her face, and she ended up laughing, and a tear rolled down her cheek.

"Mom, are you alright? Why are you crying? Did I do anything wrong?"

I responded in fright, just like an innocent child would, but to my surprise, after that, my mother had ended up laughing loudly.

"HA...HA HAAA....."

Along with it, she ended up pulling me into her embrace, and I got hit with the scent of roses again. After laughing for a while, my mother recovered, and she looked at me with a playful smile.

"So my little Austy is consoling his mother, huh?"

Acting flustered, I replied, "No, no, Mom. I was just cheering you up because you looked so down."

"Don't worry, mother is not mad at you."

After that, I and my mother continued talking for some time, and after a few minutes, she asked the reason why I wanted to see her, and I expressed to her my desire to go out to get fresh air, to which she instantly agreed.

So after a few minutes, I was outside the mansion with a few guards and my maid Mia accompanying me dressed as common people. This time I decided that I wanted to go incognito.

This will be the first time that I go outside and see the world, the streets filled with humans, elves, beastmen, and a few demons here and there. It was when I saw the different races that I was once again reminded that I am not on Earth.

As the head city of the dukedom, our city was a porch, to say the least. The noble district displayed elegance like no other, with buildings resembling modern times rather than old. The world of Ether ain't that behind in technology, though no cars, phones, planes, etc. The world is indeed well-developed.

Clean roads, cafes, amusement parks, and many more exist here, and not to say about the happy smiles on the people's faces.

Covering my head with a hood, I, along with my guards, started strolling around and "accidentally" reached a shop crowded with many young men standing at the entrance. There were quite a few noble scions there too.

They were like a pack of chickens standing there to take a look at their idol or something. Playing my child persona, I asked, "Mia, what's happening there? Why are a lot of people gathered there?"

"Oh, that? It's just a bow shop that was currently set up."

"A bow shop? Then why are there a lot of people outside?"

I asked like a total ignorant child I am.

"Well, young master, it is said that the owner is a very beautiful woman, so many men come and visit here."

"Why do they come if there is a beautiful woman here?"

My innocent eyes directly looked into Mia's, and my question stumped her a bit. She didn't know how to respond.

"It's nothing much, young master. You will know about it when you get bigger."

"Oh, then let's go inside the shop. I want to see what's special about it."

Leading my guards, we pushed to enter the shop. Getting inside it, I marveled at how the shop was much different inside than the outside. The interior was well decorated with different kinds of bows hanging on the walls.

The shop was only one floor, but the area was wide, giving out a welcoming vibe. In the counter area sat a single woman She was wearing a one-piece dress that covered her whole body, a veil that covered her face, her black hair fell her back, and she was sitting at the counter reading

Despite covering her face, her Phoenix-like eyes and her ethereal aura give her a strange atmosphere, as if she doesn't belong to this world, seeing her I used the read function

Chapter 14: chapter 14- An Act(Edited)

Eleanor Claus, or more popularly known as the Bow Empress, was one of the few rare female Imperials in the world.

Before her, bows were only used in the army in large-scale wars, and nobody took the bow as an individual weapon for combat due to its low battle efficiency.

Her story, in itself, is a legend. Coming from a noble family of swordsmen, she, as a descendant, did not have a talent for it. This was a huge blow to her.

But no one knew that from a young age, Eleanor had no interest in swords. She had completely fallen in love with the bow.

Taking her bow, she embarked on a journey as an adventurer, creating many legends along the way. She had created her path of the bow, completely changing people's perception of it.

'Umm, okay time to start the act!!'

As a child in love with bows, I started examining each bow in the shop with total admiration.

"Wow, this bow is amazing," I pointed at a random bow, exclaiming. "Mia, I am going to be an archer in the future! The bows are amazing. I want to be just like the Bow Empress when I grow up."

After that, I started going around each bow, touching it, and using it as if I were obsessed with it while keeping a discreet eye on the Bow Empress.

I could see that she had started paying attention to me ever since I said that I wanted to be like her. Not only that but there were also notifications rising above her head too.

+10 affection.

+12 affection.

+10 affection.

She was giving out small levels of affection at a time. After a few minutes, she finally made her move.

"Do you think that the bow is strong?"

Finally, the Bow Empress spoke. Her voice was sweet and melodious. Stopping the actions, I looked towards her.

"Of course! Bows are the best," I said, giving her an innocent smile.

+20 affection.

"Why do you want to take up the bow?"

"So that I can protect my family," I put on a determined expression when I said it. My answer must have surprised her because she raised an eyebrow at my answer along with some points.

+25 affection.

"Why the bow?"

"So that I can always have their back and if it ever comes to it, use myself to provide them protection," I answered her, looking directly into her eyes. For a few moments, silence lingered in the room as the adults took in the courageous words from an 8-year-old child.

After a few seconds, Eleanor placed the book down from her hands and looked deeply into me. And when she did, I could see that her cool expression was soon replaced with deep shock. Her eyes widened, and the aura around her started fluctuating here and there as if she couldn't believe what she saw. At the time, the guards around me started arranging themselves to protect me.

'What's happening? I know that she will be surprised, but why this much?'

What Austin didn't know is that while it is indeed rare to have a foundation before ten years of age, his foundation wasn't anything like that. Not only was his foundation unnaturally strong, but he was also a tier 3!

When a kid forms his foundation, the tier growth represents the final form of the foundation, but the solution Austin took directly brought him to tier 3.

The only reason Austin didn't feel it was that he didn't know the difference. So basically, what Eleanor was seeing was something impossible. You couldn't blame her for reacting to life after seeing Austin.

After some time, she calmed down, in the end, she was an Imperial, she had seen many things others hadn't so she was able to reel herself back quickly.

Taking a deep breath, she looked at the boy in front of her. The boy looked to be about 8 years old, with purple eyes and silver hair. His cute face displayed confusion instead of fear.

'Looks like I found my choice,' she smirked, thinking of how she was going to boast about her discipline to her friends who always rubbed it in her face about theirs.

"Boy, do you want to learn how to use a bow?" she asked.

'Ohh, finally you asked me, I was scared that something went wrong,' I thought.

"Can you teach me to be as great as the Bow Empress?" I asked, anticipating.

"I can teach you to be better than her," she replied.

"Young master, don't listen to this woman! We don't know who she is!" Mia stood in front of me, and at the same time, the other guards drew their blades ready for battle.

"Ohhh, are you perhaps the son of the Duchess Grace?" I nodded to her question.

"Good, then you may leave now. I will meet you later," she said.

The guards were clearly angered by her remarks, and just as when a battle was about to erupt, I jumped in front of them and blocked it.

"Young master!!!"

"Young master, move away! This woman might be dangerous," the guards tried to persuade me to move away so as not to protect the woman.

'You bunch of idiots, the one I am protecting is you!! Plus, don't you think I should use this opportunity to earn some point of affection?' I thought.

"No need to fight, this big sister doesn't seem like a bad person," I replied intentionally buttering my now going-to-be master. Turning around, I apologized to her.

"I am sorry for causing the commotion."

After I said that, she walked towards me and ruffled my hair.

"Don't worry about it, this big sister is not mad."

I could feel a bit of happiness and gloating when she said the words "big sister."

'Tsk, women,' I inwardly rolled my eyes.

After chatting with me for a bit, I and my guards headed out.

"Young master, where do you want to go now?" the guards asked.

"Now?" I looked towards a certain area while smiling inwardly. "To eat."
