The same day after Tommy awakened, he started to 'create spells' the process was similar to the act of lying to oneself. By using flawed principles, he could indeed accomplish extraordinary processes, but it felt like something was lacking.
Late at night, someone knocked at the door of his office.
" come in," said Tommy.
The butler entered and started to report the situation.
" My prince, I informed those people of your decision. Some did not want to associate themselves with us any further. Some said that they still needed to reflect. Some forces did not give any responses among which are the Luo, the Yang, and the Feng families. But many of our subsidiary powers still came. I'm just going to receive them.
Also, I informed our workers that they could leave if they wanted, and to do it before nightfall. About one-third of them left. We just have twenty-two people left, it is very little" the butler explained calmly without clearly showing any of his thoughts.
Tommy learned many things from his speech. First, the three big families of the Luo nation were not going to stand with the royal family.
In this situation, it was normal for many other smaller forces to hesitate.
Resulting in isolating the royal family further.
Tommy did not know if they did it intentionally or not. He was not a politician.
He knew that most of these people needed to consider the interest and the safety of their family first before anything else.
But that did not mean that he was going to forgive them for making his task to dominate the world more difficult.
" Yang, Feng and Luo family, Huh. Just you wait, I will take care of you"

In a time of peace, they profited from a high status in the country and now they were seeing it burning calmy without doing anything.
Tommy also learned the fact that pretty much everyone did not have much hope for the royal family. It was surprising to still have people answering his call at a moment like this.
"I'll come with you, we will receive them together. Before that assemble everyone in the palace, I need to talk to them"
"You can leave now"
The butler left, and now he was once more alone with the book maiden.
If he did not know better, he would have tough that she was mute.
He fell tired and mentally exhausted after reading for so long.
" Please bring me some coffee," he asked politely and saw her leave the room.
"I think it is the moment to try one of this newly created spell," he said to himself.
Blood, if an organ does not receive blood, it will cease functioning. If it did not receive enough blood, it will slow down. Does not that mean that if the blood reaches a certain threshold in quality and quantity, the organ will be enhanced? Brain, hearth, muscles...
Leading to an increase in agility and strength.
It was the principle of the blood spell that enhanced ability and strength.
It was a little farfetched because it did not mention the composition of the blood nor the hormones it transported. But what mattered the most was the fact that it was working. It almost seemed like writing on your computer waiting for it to auto-edit your text.
At that moment, Tommy felt his cloudy mind brighten, he felt his muscles tighten ready to explode with power.
Be it his strength, his mental response, his agility, everything increased.
When he stood up, he felt reborn and refreshed.
Soon the door opened and the book maiden entered with a cup of coffee. At that moment the prince tough about something. He had not drunk nor eaten since some time was not it because he was afraid of being poisoned.
Some people manage to feel it when others are gazing at them. When seeing a fire and a blade, people feel immediately threatened. It is not limited to seeing or hearing it is a matter of feeling. Feeling the danger before it strikes at you.
It was the flawed concept of danger detection. Even Tommy felt embarrassed when he created it. But what mattered the most was the fact that it worked.
The moment he used it even though he did not feel any danger from the coffee, nor the cookies that the maid had brought without him asking he could feel the danger behind the wall.
There were threats to his life in his place.
He did not have the mood to eat anymore.
When the meal was placed in front of him he just ignored it and marched toward the door.
" come with me! We are going to say hello to some people"
