As soon as commander Claudette leave, alaric jump on sharry.
Oh my sword lover, I know you will save my ass anyway no matter how many times you decline.
Sharry trying to pry alaric off from him.
Yeah, I get it now get down and by the way if I'd let you explain everything I gotten lectured anyway for not stopping you.
Alaric teasingly speak with sly smirk.
Oh my mighty sword lover, I know how much you deny but you can't see your young Lord getting his ass beaten.
Sharry stare at alaric with balnk face.
Ass beaten? You shouldn't use word's like this, you are young Lord you should think before saying anything loud. Fix that filter you have between your brain and mouth.
Alaric still doesn't care.
You are turning more and more like commander Claudette, seems like his personality is effecting you deeply.
Alaric dramatically speak.
I can't let my, sword lover turn like that old hag who always lectured me around..
Sharry sigh used to Alaric behavior by now.
Stop being dramatic and let's go for training if we get late we might have to run lapse around the palace.
Alaric doesn't wanted to go for training but sharry dragged him to training ground anyway.
Have some mercy on child like me,can't you see how tired I am after hunting. You can't do this to me, I didn't knew you are this cruel.
Sharry now getting annoyed of Alaric's dramatical act.
Well for your knowledge you doesn't even hunt down a mouse and you are not a child anymore so stop behaving like one.
Alaric laid down the green carpet of grass.
Oh come on commander Claudette is not here yet, so let's rest till he comes.
Sharry glare at Alaric as he see him laying.
Stop laying around it's a training ground not a park, get your lazy body up or if commander Claudette saw you laying around like sloth. He definitely gonna beat you up.
Alaric grumbled.
Come on, dude let's chill you are always too serious enjoy your life. When you can you don't have to act all serious and Brooding over everything.
Sharry eyes twitches.
Get up or else I will call commander Claudette.
Alaric sighed and get up.
Fine, fine, I am getting up no need to bring the old hag into everything you know.
Alaric pick a sword ready for training.
Let's go have some training.
Sharry speak.
Are you sure? You are blood of his majesty? Why are you picking that tiny sword? Even our chef use bigger knife for cooking.
Alaric face turn red.
Are you questioning on me being Royal blood? Can't you see my flawless white shinny hair, which I got from my mother.
Sharry speak.
Oh, yeah, yeah, I almost forgot, I can't argue over you being a Royal blood, but are you sure you aren't secretly a princess??
Alaric glare at sharry with anger.
ARE YOU QUESTIONING MY GENDER?!?
Sharry replied with smirk on his face
Oh sorry for questioning your bender, after all princess are elegant, graceful and are mannerful may be they are even stronger than you.
Alaric shouted loud
Are you questioning on my dignity, you idiot. I always had shown mercy on you. But you have crossed the line. Now you will witness the rage of Almighty Alaric, the heir of throne.
And then he picked the biggest sword which is used by Claudette whenever he practiced of swordsmanship. And at his first swing of sword, he fall on face at ground by the momentum and weight of sword.
Sherry can't able to control his laugh when he witness the position of Almighty Alaric.
Oh my Almighty Alaric, the next heir of duke's throne, seems like I finally witness the rage and glory of future Duke , and I believe that I will never forget this moment in my entire life.
While sherry is laughing, Claudette enter's the training ground, and when he saw Alaric on th ground, and he smile before speaking to Alaric.
Young Lord, did you find something in the soil, which can improve our people's lifestyle and make it efficient? Like mines Or something else?
Sharry while laughing he replied.
No commander, he is showing the rage of Almighty heir of veleryon family, and the future Duke.
Claudette smirk .
Well I have seen countless battles, witness many warriors but I never saw someone showing their glory and strength in this position, ever in my entire life. I doubt that even his majesty have ever seen someone showing glory like this.
sharry continue laughing while holding his stomach, meanwhile Alaric sat down his face is covered in dirt. He finally spoke.
Are you both father and son, came in existence to make fun of me? After all you both seem to enjoying my suffering?
Claudette finally stopped smiling.
Well young Lord, I spend my entire life serving his majesty and his family I never even got married, I always seen his majesty and his family as my first priority. I can never enjoy seeing any of velaryon family member suffer. By the way you and sharry should start the training I want to see how my son teaches to my young Lord..
Claudette throw a sword towards Alaric...
You should start your training with this, start and as for reminder don't think of sword as a sword, think of it as one of your limb. When you starts to think of it as one of your body part. Then you will start to know the true meaning of swordmanship, use it as you use your hand.
And then Claudette shout "Start". Alaric picks the sword and he walk towards sharry and they started to spar. Anyone could see that Alaric is struggling against sharry. While Alaric due to his stubborn personality wasn't giving up. After long fight between sharry and Alaric, Alaric lost many rounds and now he is tired and panting. Claudette noticed Alaric exhaustion from the spar and ask them to stop the fight.
You both should stop the practice young Lord looks exhausted and tired.
Meanwhile Alaric stubborn personality don't want him to back down
No I am not tired yet, I have still have enough energy to keep going.
Claudette speak.
You should understand young Lord, you can't learn swordmanship with the practice of one day. You should take break for now, you can continue the training tomorrow.
Alaric knew his body is now tired, and is not in condition to keep training. So he stopped even though he doesn't wanted to. And that's when he noticed his mother watching them. And then he walks towards his mother Alena velaryon.
Alaric asked his mother.
How long you have been standing here for?
Alena replies with a smile
I am standing here when you fall on your face and kissing our mother nature.
Alaric speak.
Mom don't start to act like those father and son.
Alena chuckled softly she speak while wiping dirt off Alaric face with handkerchief.
Sorry, sweetheart. I didn't mean to make fun of you.
Alena and Alaric sat on the bench under the tree. Alena asked.
Why you look like more then tired, is there something going in your head?
Alaric replied.
No, I am just exhausted from the training.
Alena said
You know I am your mother, you are just like your father whenever there is something going through your father head, he also behave just like how you are behaving right now.
Alaric look down while he speak.
I am nothing like my father. I am not brave like him to face emperor and those four powerful families and still not getting nervous or feared by them. I am not even strong like him and sharry and Claudette.
Alena said while patting Alaric head.
Why are you trying to compare yourself with them. Everyone is unique in their own way. And you are not exception either. .
Alaric spoke
Mother, I don't want to be unique if it's mean being useless and weak.
Alena replies with motherly warmness
Who said you are weak?
Alaric speak with frustration.
Have you seen the strength and the speed of Claudette and sharry? And Claudette is living legend everyone in the wasp world know about him and his feats he had achieved And even aside of Claudette, sharry is abnormally strong and I know him, he will just become like Claudette. You can see over there in the training ground how they fight, normal eyes can't even see their speed and strength they are far beyond the human physiology. They are nothing like human.
Alena smiled on his innocent words.
You know, you always see and notice their strength, but have you ever thought about the main reason behind their strength .our bloods are gift for us and them. those powers they have, is the result of our precious blood.
Alaric asks with curiosity.
Mother, I know that the strength they have is the result of our blood. But I never got told about the secrets about our precious blood. Why they are the only one who gain strength by our blood, but we couldn't, does it not frustrates you that they are strong and powerful but you are not.
Alena speak
I know you are curious to know about the history of our blood and their powers. And now you are mature enough, That I can share some of our secrets with you. But at one condition you have to keep it secret with your life. Only then I can tell you.
Alaric asks.
Don't you trust your own blood?
Alena replied.
It's not the matter to trust my blood or not, if this secrets got in wrong hands. It could be threat for our family, so promise me on your name, that you never speak about this secret to anyone. Even when you are alone.
Alaric replied.
I swear, as the member of the velaryon family that I won't speak about the secret to anyone, even if it comes to my life, I never dare to speak.
Alena smiled before saying.
Now that's my son. So where should I start first? Let's start with how our blood work. Listen carefully, let's take it like we are like a nutrition. It can't give power to itself. But it can give power to the consumers who don't have it. Those consumers are sharry and Claudette. We can't use those nutrients but they can. Because they don't have what our blood have, but they need what our bloods have, so whenever a human consumes it, it could give them immense power like strength, speed ,healing, and sharp their six senses. But our blood is like doubl edge sword. If a normal person take it, it may grant them immense power or it will become the reason of their death, because not everyone's body can wield the power of our blood. Sharry and Claudette are one of those few expections, who can wield it. But this also have side effect a immense power can not be wielded without a cost, after taking our blood the individual who wield that power, they have to take our blood in every several years and if they don't take our blood every several years the individual will die. But If the world got to know about our secret. They will use us as the source of their power. Their greed to conquer this world turns into a reality and could tear this world into pieces. Now you know, why every velaryon family members have pair of two, so one of them could wield the ability of our blood, to protect members of our family, even if they got separated or away from this palace so this power can not go to wrong hands.
Alaric asked.
But mother I have one question. Which is eating me from inside. Every members have one person who can wield velaryon family, members power. I have sharry who can wield this power, father have Claudette and even sister have one who can protect her, but you have no one who can wield your blood's powers. Its worrying me, why don't you choose anyone to wield your powers.
Alena chuckled and ruffles Alaric hair before replying.
Why would I need anyone? I don't have to go anywhere, to search anyone to wield my power. I already have your father who is as strong as Claudette and sharry or even stronger .
Alaric expression turned into surprise he asked.
Did you mean father also took your blood, to wield that power?
Alena replies.
No he don't need it. Because I know him and witnessed his strength before you came into this world, he protected me from the very beginning when we don't even knew ecah other.
Alaric asked with curiosity
Are they like vampires, who are in those stories? Because whenever I see that expression of sharry. It feels like he will suck my whole blood and leaves me dry.
Then sharry see towards alaric and his mother. Alena laughed very hard and said.
No they are not like vampires, they don't have urges to drink blood like vampires have. Our blood is just like one of the main nutritions for them to keep them alive like water, salt and etc.
