-Later that night-
In the Dojo, laid a man on his simple single bed while smoking his favourite cigarettes. The man finished his smoke and threw the buds to a dark corner. The bud then hit a shadow that flickers on contact.
"Kira, your stealth ability sucks, go work on it more later, you piece of shit...."
A man clouded with shadows theb emerge from the corner. The man were covered from head to toe with dark black tights leather armor. His face was also covered with a blank black mask only having an opening for his eyes.
"My lord.....why didn't you kill them? If you wish, I shall execute them right now for you, my lord"
Said the man while kneeling facing the young man on bed.
"Kira, stop calling me lord... Hey, do you know how old I am now? Do yoy remember?"
The young man asked Kira with an expressionless face while still laying on his bed.
"My lo- I mean, sir, you have stop aging for more than 100 years, according to my father, which was your right hand man at that time....sir"
Kira was perplexed with the sudden question and remmber what his father had told him before passing away. He was entrusted to be this "young" man lord, who had always declare himself to be 23-ish years old,even tho his age had far surpassed that.
"True...your father was my most trusted right hand....no he was a friend...and you, kid, don't call me that call my name, I don't mind it"
"I dare not my lord!"
"*sigh* okay, okay, just anything other than lord....well back to your question....I didn't kill them for a very simple reason, Kira and you should stop being bloodthirsty all the time, stop walking with a stick in your ass"
"What reason is that then sir?"
"You should start learning and experience life more. My reason is simple it is a pain in the ass to move away that is hahaha"
Kira almost fell hearing his lord simple answer...he had thought his lord had found life to be more meaningful and precious after his long retreat, but alas....no one can change that easily. Kira regain his composure and ask his lord another question that had been bothering him.
"My lor- I mean sir! Forgive me for my insolences but....why did you open up this dojo? And why did you wear a fake tattoo?"
Kira had always been a smart intelectual person but this moves that his lord had been making lately... Well most of the time....had make him confused.
"Hmmmmm yeah....why am I even doing this again? I forgot the reason hahaha well no matter."
If you discover this tale on Amazon, be aware that it has been unlawfully taken from Royal Road. Please report it.
The young man stood silence for while then suddenly the atmosphere of the room changed and his expression hardened and stiffened.
"Kira, my son....where is him?"
"He is safe, my lord. He is with my wife in our village, safe from any prying eyes"
"Bring him to me as fast as you can"
"As you command, my lord"
Kira quickly stepped back into the darkness and swiftly shrouded himself with shadow, stepping out and rushing to follow as his lord bad decree without any further questions .
The young man stood up lighting another smoke, while looking at the bright silver moon. His back are bare without any tattoo, but two little stumps can be see just beneath the shoulder blade on both his t and right side. Dark black feather wings than emerge from his back, flapping graciously.
"It's time.....huh those fucking good guys finally gonna make their move....hahaha let them come...my bones are getting stiff with all this peace"
The young man then retracted his wing and laid on top his bed closing his eyes.... His mind was lingering on his young son who had parted from him since birth...
"I miss you son...."
-In another part of the city-
Inside a grand, extravagant room, filled with expensive furniture and even having its own libary, a tall silver haired man was fuming with anger, he was the lord of the city, Lord Silver.
"How dare that peasants embarrassed me in front of the public, i should have kill him for doing that and even hurting my son!" Roared the lord.
"My liege....forgive me, but I think crossing path with him, would only lead to our demise.....he have an aura of a very strong martial artist....no.....a killer"
The knight captain was kneeling and shivering,remembering the young man with the black hair and black eye fighting his squad easily while even having a grin plastered on his face. It was....bone chilling for him to had witnessed it. He had tried his best to act stoic during the event, not wishing to further embarrass his lord.
"Hmph! You coward! You weakling! If you had order your knights to use magic, I'm sure he will die like a dog he is!"
The lord fuming in anger was roaring without stopping at the event that had happened.
"My lord! Do not underestimate him. In all my life, I've never witnessed a person being stabbed by spear and break the spearheads without any magic manipulation. I had sense no mana from his moves, he had used zero magic to defend himself that time..."
The knight captain said with a respecting tone.
"Hmmm Nathan...are you speaking the truth? Did he not use any magic or trick to defend himself?"
"It is true my lord...I'm....I'm not even sure if we dispatched all our troops and even use magic, we can beat him....he was smiling the whole time...like we were entertainment to him..."
Silver then took a mouthful of wine and stood in silence, absorbing the information he had just gained from his most trusted knight.
"Then what is a person with that power is doing here? Our city is far from the capital, our city is not even close to the border of the Barren. What does that man even want here!"
Silver started to feel afraid and pressured knowing that a man that powerful is in his city.
"My lord, I'm not sure. I've send a few man to dig his information. I even had send few man to the adventure and the merchant guild for any info about him.....we should just wait for any news and try not to disturb him anymore. He did say he's only here for peace,maybe we should just leave him be?"
The knight captain was terrified and only wished his city and life to be back in peace.
"Hmmm okay ... Nathan, make sure no one! I mean no one! Approach and enlist his dojo! And make sure you send him a box of gold tomorrow showing our goodwill....though I wish to kill him, knowing his might now....I rather being able to live then being dead..I just need to explain this to my wife now....she really need to stop pampering our son...."
"Haha....my lord...I wish you good luck in that endeavor and I shall do my best to ensure no trouble arise with the young man anymore!"
"Good....you may go now. I shall head to my room to sleep and hope that tomorrow no more problems happen...."
Silver then walked out and head to his room which was far away. At time like this that he feels sucks having such a big mansion.
