Bab 2: Chapter 1: House of Bond

Zerck sub-continent

_____________________________

Zerck is a sub-continent with only 5,000,000 square km of land area, situated on south-east of the map of Land of Rea. Sub-continents of this size are spread all over the endless sea.

After the formation of Amira Duchy, the reclaimed land on this sub-continent has been increased up to at least 22% of whole sub-continent. The house bond carved out a piece of wilderness for themselves, which even woke a emperor-rank mystic beast.

Though eventually it was killed, it caused some setbacks to the family, but it also showed the might of House Bond to everyone, and became a deterrent to many prying eyes.

House Bond has been able to get all the areas that were already under humans on this continent under their leadership, after defeating all the powers on Zerck sub-continent. Now, except the wilderness, only human leadership on this continent are humans led by House bond.

____________________

Eastern-port city was ruled by bond family for over thirty thousand years, the city has been peaceful for more than 15000 years, even the commoners had forgotten what war looked like.

House Bond was one the remaining Exalted families in the Land of Rea. Other than having at least 100,000 years of family history, a family must have at least one human powerhouse at the peak, throughout their history to be considered an Exalted family. But this was far from enough; you needed conclusive evidence to show that you have contributed to expand human land and hold it. Good relations with other Exalted families was also necessary, though House Bond was one of the founders of Exalted families more than 50,000 years ago.

They had ruled over Eastern ash archipelagos from the time they decided to move out of the mainland, and have stable roots there. But nearly thirty thousand years ago the Bond Family led their vassal families, and a well-to-do family from mainland's empire that had lost, the support of their faction and were forced move out of mainland, the ultear family, to war.

Both the families waged war against all the power on Zerck sub-continent and subdued it. From then the next centuries were in turmoil, as powers nearby with ones defeated on Zerck sub-continent wanted to break the alliance as well as take a piece of juicy meat for themselves at the same time.

But with the death of emperor rank mystic beast their power and prowess was consolidated. This was not without a cost, as nearly 10% of bond family's manpower was dead, countless of their vassals were wiped out. The most unbearable loss was the death of one of the Archmage cultivated by House Bond.

Within next 15000 years, slowly events of the past were lost to oblivion, and nothing could stop the eventual rise of the Bonds, naming their duchy after Archmage Amira herself.

With this, the Amira Duchy was formed, with bond family at his head, while marquise title given to Ultear family. And one vis-count and four barons peerage given to different vassal houses.

Due to heavy losses, relations between Ultear family and Bond family became estranged, but the bond family kept their word and they were awarded a Marquessate, but the Ultear family didn't settle at any of the already cleared place on Zerck sub-continent, but cleared a piece of far away wilderness for settling.

From then on, the next 15000 years until present have been peaceful with development all around in the duchy.

House bond moved their whole main branch to Zerck sub-continent's Eastern-port city, and continue to develop it vigorously as a major port city. While the other areas, being developed with a single thought in mind: to support the port city.

The city got its name as such because it also worked as a major port for whole of Zerck sub-continent's eastern direction.

The Main Tower of Castle Fireheart

_______________

On this busy day when a wind blew, and looked like a normal day, in the main cathedral, a woman was ready to experience her labor, while a young man paced anxiously in front the room's door, his face etched with worry, because of the dim light his stature was difficult to make out.

Somewhere outside Eastern-port city.

_______________

While a man that looked no older than 40 years stood on a lone cliff, nearly 100 miles from the majestic Eastern-port city.

He had a troubled looked on his face, as he mumbled underneath his breath "The dark clouds of war are gathering", while looking in distance horizon.

Even if someone with a cultivation level of Blademaster or Archmage had witnessed this, they might not have been able to keep their legs steady. However, no one in the entire Zerck sub-continent felt any sensation from this major incident, except the old man. Thus, no one noticed such a major incident, that happened in front of them.

Master Bedroom

_______________________

Lira was coordinating with all the midwives, making preparations in the elegant bedroom.

Three very old-looking ladies were calming a graceful lady who was experiencing pain while struggling on a large bed in the center of the room.

In a room near by hot water pots and clean clothes were being bought.

Sun started setting down, painful voice from the room started to increase, suddenly stopping after a piercing cry of the child.

After some time, the large doors of the room opened and the three old women came out, carrying a newborn in the hands of the woman in lead.

"My lord, your first born is a boy, both the child and madam our safe.", said midwife.

"Hahhaahaha", the man started laughing, and took the small child carefully into his hands from midwife, as his eyes became wet.

Suddenly the air on the back side of the man started changing and a middle age man appeared, seeing him the man slightly bowed and called "forefather".

The three old ladies bowed and greeted.

The man's gaze went to the head midwives and he asked "boy or girl?".

"It is a boy my lord", replied the midwife in lead.

Hearing these words, his shoulders dropped, he look relaxed a smile came on his face. It looked like a great burden has been removed from his head.

He looked at the young man in front of him and said," Now House Bond's Main family has a true heir to man the future".

Hearing these words, the young man showed a bitter smile and shook his head while looking at the new born, who still couldn't still open his eyes, and started playing with the child.

Suddenly raising his head he asked the midwives' "How is Jasimine?".

A midwife replied while bowing, "My Lady is exhausted and sleeping right now".

Nodding his head, the man turned with the newborn in his hand, and went towards the outside while instructing, "Properly care for her, and notify me the moment she wakes up".

Aunt Anne, the midwife in the lead, nodded and answered "Yes".

When the midwives raised there heads, they saw only the back of man leaving with the child in front of them, while the middle-aged man was no were to see. While still having shock in there eyes for the man's ability to go and come like a ghost, they stood up and went to handle there own work.
