Chapter 9 : Planning

Sir Alistair was looking at me in surprised eyes. He gave out a little smile. Then he asked me,

"Let me ask you a question first, do you want to get revenge for your parent's death. Or do you want to live in fear and run around all your life ? "

Well , I don't want any of them . So I answered , " None, I want to live a peaceful life."

He looks more surprised now. He said ,

" You talk like an old man who has experienced a long life. But, you are still a child, as I can see, with my eyes. "

Then he stopped for a moment, and then continued,

"I think you are capable of understanding so I will tell you that you can never have a peaceful life as you wish to have."

"Because sooner or later people will find out that one of the secret weapon which is presumed lost is still out there and that means a survivor exists too. "

" Then your life will be in danger. So even if you don't want you have to be prepared. At least to save yourself. Don't you think ? "

I wasn't thinking it this way before, but I think he is right. I was only looking at the present. But if this person can find out so soon, then others will eventually find out too.

" I need to get stronger. " Oh I said it out loud, I was just thinking that.

But he heard me anyway. So I should gather some information.

"Sir, how the candidates of other secret swords train themselves."

He looks like that he felt some relief by my question.

He said,

"First , they go to the Royal Academy for basic training and studies. After that they attend different Knight squads as trainee ."

" Don't they get some special training ?" I asked.

He replied , "No. And up until they became Knights they don't usually receive the secret weapon. So there wouldn't be any difference between any other Knight and them."

I didn't say anything. So he continued, "But your case is totally different from that. You are still so small and the 'Nightmare' is forced on you."

" What kind of sword is it? I don't know anything about it." I asked.

He thought for a moment and said,

"It was known as the second strongest and the most difficult to control. Don't you feel uncomfortable ? "

"No, nothing feels different." I answered.

" Well anyway, my son is going to the Royal Academy soon. If you want I can send you there too. " He told me.

I thought for a moment and then I replied,

"No sir, that would be a problem. I sometimes lose control of my magic and I don't have dark hair. That might cause some problem.

And you even have to make sure that no one knows my real name or surname. "

I continued, " Sir wouldn't it be possible to directly join the knight squad after I train here by myself. "

He smiled a little and then said, " That can be possible, but not here. I have someone in mind. I will take you to that person tomorrow. I will meet you in the morning. "

" Thank you Sir. I am leaving now. " I replied and turned to leave.
