Nathan and Halbert are heading for the prison where previous royal family members are held as prisoners and Nathan had box in his hands.

Nathan says,I have three important tasks for you Halbert,

1. Find as many books as possible regarding magic and swordsmanship and bring them to my room.

2. Find everything about the person named victor Alston.

3. Find everything about Rose Averill and while investigating her, be more cautious than usual and keep your distance from her.

Halbert asks, wait why are you giving me these random tasks out of sudden because even with our full might, we barely stabilized the situation after the death of ludwin.

So,if we split more soldiers for useless tasks then the stability might be threatened.

Nathan calmly explains, don't worry because these are also important tasks because these tasks are for future stability of our dukedom.

Due to the fact that my father wanted to use me as an assassin,he trained from an early age but few years later he found that I have talent in magic.

I thought after that he would recognise me as his son and try to develop me as a magician but he didn't care about me and kept on sending me for assassination mission which requires close combat if I fail the assassination.

So,I kept on improving my meley combat skills as well my magic abilities and now I became an arch mage. I thought I was special but I now know it was because of the white seed inside my body.

Halbert asks,does that mean you are a one in million magic swordsmen. If that's the case, you will easily become the Duke.

Nathan says, you might have misunderstood me because to be a magical swordsmen,one needs to have both aura and mana, but I don't have aura. I strengthen my body using only my mana which is less efficient comparatively.

Well, even though I became an arch mage by improving mana circles and a swordsmen by strengthening my body,I was mediocre at both of them due to my father's idiocy and that is the reason,I couldn't even atleast protect myself against a fellow arch mage.

So, now I wanted to learn from basic magic to advanced magic and also I wanted to learn more sword skills.

As per the second and third task,trust me those two will be crucial for our plan.

Halbert thinks a little while and goes to fullfill those tasks by saying I trust you and I almost forgot,2nd prince will be here in approximately 6 hours with the pace they are traveling.

Before leaving Halbert says,I don't know the full story but I learnt that before monica became a Dutchess,a guy with incredible killing intent wiped out her whole carrevon including his brother. I believe that's the reason,she hated since the childhood because you also have incredible bloodlust.

So,I am warning you before because she might tell you some crazy stuff. So be prepared for her insanity.

Stolen from its rightful author, this tale is not meant to be on Amazon; report any sightings.

Hearing those words, Nathan directly goes into the prison and greets previous Dutchess monica.

Monica says,so finally you came, you bustard, you ruined my life. If I had killed you when you were a baby then I would have been the Dutchess for the rest of my life.

Nathan with calm face, unseaths his sword and before anybody could react he kills Monica's third son and directly looks into the eyes monica without uttering a single word.

Seeing his son's death, monica was shocked but in the next second,she started cursing Nathan.

Nathan, with still calm face, uses his sword to kill Monica's daughter and looks at monica.

Seeing this, concubines and their children were terrified but monica was in rage,so she tries to attack Nathan. Nathan easily dodges her attack and decapitates her 2nd son without hesitation.

Monica screams with rage, you fucking bastard,why are you killing my children.

Nathan calmly explains,I don't have time for your bullshit,if you don't have an information then just die.

Nathan directly attacks monica but before attack lands she closes her eyes and screams that maid anna is not your birth mother. Nathan says,I know that and if don't have any information just die.

Monica was shocked,how did you know that because except for me and the Duke, nobody knows about this information. Suddenly she stops and with a faint voice says, wait does that mean, that maid anna told you that.

Nathan nods in agreement. Seeing this monica sighs and says I thought i would give 1st piece information now and give 2nd piece of information after my safety had secured but it seems I had no choice.

Monica says,24 years ago,we bought and kidnapped many children from orphanages and from some poor people secretly to train them as assassins and Nathan you were one of them.

When you were brought here, you were only 5 months old and on that day,I saw a monster in you because even as a child you could not only sense killing intent but you were releasing it.

Normally,a person have to train and have to kill many people before releasing killing it but you were doing it naturally,so I thought you would grow up to be a monster.

I knew,a born killer like you wouldn't serve anyone for life,so I don't know what came over me but my instincts were telling me to either throw you outside or to kill you but seeing the potential in you, Duke stopped me which was his biggest mistake.

Nathan says,are you meaning to say that this is the information with which you wanted to bargain with me.

Monica laughs and says, no,I wanted to share my biggest regret with you before dying because I can see in your eyes, even if i give you earth shattering information, you would kill me.

If you hadn't killed my children I would have tried to bargain but with all of my children and family members gone, I don't want to live either, so I'll tell you a clue to find your parents.

We have bought you from adray orphanage,so you might find some clues there.

Nathan laughs and says, even if you have told me,where my parents were,I would just ignored it, because if I was in orphanage,then either my parents were dead or they have abondoned me.

If they don't want me then I don't want them either. I believe relations formed by blood and families are formed with love and trust.

So,i already have a family and my mother is Anna whom I love and trust more than anyone in this world.

Hearing those words,monica was dumbstruck, and says,so I was destined to die anyways huh.

Nathan asks about her last words. Monica replies, thanks for not opening that box for me and my children.

Immediately Nathan kills her and saying you have tried to kill me many times just because you were a narcissistic bitch who even tries to kill a 5 months old baby because of your PTSD but because of you now I have a family and this dukedom that's why I gave you and your children painless death.

Then,Nathan turns towards concubines and their children and says,but the same thing cannot be said about you, because,just to curry favour with Dutchess, you bastards torchered my mother even though Dutchess didn't ordered it. Due to that,she got 5 bones fractured and she is still in coma.

You all must have heard about my philosophy,if somebody helps me then I'll also help them equally but if someone hurts me then I'll pay them back 100 times.

Saying this,he opens a box and there were many torchering tools in it.

After six hours,a knight comes to prison room and wanted to convey some information to Nathan but watching the condition of those torchered people,he hesitates and involuntarily asks how are these people alive even after all of thier bones broken, organs destroyed and their skin got peeled.

Nathan immediately kills,all of them and says, well this is a best technique of a psycho killer that I have killed few years ago and if you wanted to learn then I'll teach it you.

That knight says, forgive me my lord. I spoke without respect and I don't think I am capable learning this technique because of my normal mentality.

But can I ask you,how you were able to obtain this technique from that psycho killer because I heard even if they were going to die they wouldn't tell anything to anybody.

Nathan says, you heard it right,it was even tough for me because to learn about that method I had to use my best torchering method on him.

Knight thinks,if that killer's method is this brutal then how much brutal gonna be this guy's technique.

Nathan says,I know what you are thinking and I also know what information you got for me so no need to tell me because I'm going to meet him.

Saying this,he directly goes to palace where 2nd prince dustin is staying at.
