8 more years passed, and a now 13 years old Rhaegar was sent north by his father to face bandits who threatened the peace of their civilians.

A tall woman in a fancy battle armour went inside his carriage while holding a warm grey coat .

“I brought this for you lord, I hope it will keep you warm “

“Thanks Anne , It’s my fault for not making any preparations beforehand. Who knew it was going to be this cold out here “

Maryanne, the one who Rhaegar called Anne was one of the woman “gifted” to him by his grandfather on the day he was born. She was tall and pretty with skin as white as snow, with hair as red as blood and a good enough body to make any man crazy over her .

After Rhaegar gave his father the idea about nurturing orphans, Lord Geld decided to pick out the roughest of them and teach them the ways of battle.

Nobody understood why he would want to train commoners while he had guards and knights who would start training by the time they were 13 , but Rhaegar understood him.

In fact, he was the one who most actively supported the idea. He was well aware of the way knights were taught, he was taught by them as well . And sure, as fancy as the training was he didn’t think it would be of much use other than showing off. He would rather have soldiers who survived on their own ever since they were children, soldiers who developed their instincts and train hard to escape their status . And of course, soldiers who were loyal to him and his father .

When this project was put to action, the lady also decided to have the men and women brought to Rhaegar by his grandpa be trained and nurtured, but surprisingly the only one who managed to become a warrior was Anne. The most innocent looking of them all .

The others had to become Rhaegar’s maids, his whores or people who would run his errands.

“Are the knights still being mean at you, Anne? “

She looked like she didn’t want to tell him but couldn’t lie to him at the same time.

“Something tells me they still are ,well , you shouldn’t worry about it. They’re just scared that commoners could take their place one day. Hopefully this will push them to be less fancy and train harder “

Knights thought training commoners was a waste of time, and in their point of view it made sense. Knights were of noble background after all, they could use spirits and battle auras. How can these lowly weaklings take their place ?

At least thats what they thought, until the 23 year old whore of their young lord grew up to be amazingly strong even without a spirit .

“Look, its that Anne again? If she only weren’t the young lord’s bitch, i would have cut her piece by piece “

“Yeah, but its best if we didn’t mess with her. The young lord scares me even more than Lord Geld, who knows with what bullshit idea to replace knights that freak will come up with next “

These were the conversations that normally took place every-time Anne was spotted swinging her sword and training her movements.

Suddenly, the carriage stopped and the driver told them they had arrived.

“Do we go straight to their stronghold as per usual, lord ? “

“But what if they run? We cant have them terrorising neighbouring lands, if other houses manage to stop them they will use it to publicly humiliate and harm us .

-Look , the bandits that Lord of Set couldn’t manage to capture have been caught by us. Thats what they’ll say “

especially the house of Horus and Osiris, they have been harassing them for the past 10 years . He couldn’t afford to let the bandits escape .

“Why dont you let me go to their stronghold alone and ask for their surrender, when they find out a noble is after them they’ll either surrender or escape with all their loot. You could ambush them and kill them ? “

Anne’s plan was easy and amateurish but she said it with full pride as if she was solving a universal issue, Rhaegar had thought of 30 other ways but he decided to play it her way this time.

“Should be fun, but don’t die though. None of the other women brought to me are as pretty as you, it would be a waste “

“You shouldn’t give me that kind of treatment, no wonder people are angry at me . They think I’m using my body to win you over “

She kind of was , not like she had a choice anyway. Rhaegar didn’t have one either .

She was first brought to him when he was only 11, when he was still a naive boy.

“But father, why are you bringing me all these women? My mother taught me to only love one woman , I shouldn’t be disloyal “

“You should only love one woman but you should have several others that you don’t love, you know how hard it is for nobles to have children. The more women you have the higher the chance for me to have grandchildren “

“But I am still a child myself, besides. I thought a noble could only have a children with another noble ? Its hard for normal women to bear a noble’s children “

They were cursed when they received spirits and powers, a balance had to be maintained after all . You cant have a world full of super power freaks running around wrecking havoc, a noble could rarely have children and thats why they had multiple women, to increase the probability. Even in the scenario that they managed to have several children, like his grandfather did. Their first born will inherit most of their powers, the other children will just turn out like Rhaegar’s mother .

A goddess to commoners but weak by noble standards .

“Listen son, you have too much power as it is . If you have children with another powerful noble, the one that would be born might be powerful enough to even threaten the royal household . Rumours about you using both magic and battle aura have been spreading, the higher ups are starting to feel threatened. You have to do what’s necessary for the family and have a child with a common woman as soon as possible “

He started ‘trying’ ever since then, and happily for him he had been unsuccessful.

He does like Anne, the other women are pretty too but since he was taught by his mother not to love them ever since he was a child , he didn’t have any feelings for them. Other than lustful ones, or friendly ones.

“Ill be on my way then, and remember not to use magic on their loot. It will ruin the merchandise “
