Chapter 35 - Count Gabriel's Arrival



Kain was checking through the notebook that Lucius had written the words in and was in awe. While his handwriting was a bit hard to read, the words themselves were all correct. Lucius had fully learned the words that were needed of him.

"Very well done, Young Lord Asher. Originally I had made the study plans for about a year as that\'s the time which it should have normally taken someone to learn it. Some of the foreign delegates that come to the kingdom as ambassadors often need to learn it, thus I went from that time frame.

But with your pace, I estimate you will do it much faster. Perhaps four to six months will be enough for you to finish learning it. Though you will need to work a bit on your penmanship." Kain praised.

"Sure master Kain, I\'ll do my best. What\'s next now?" Lucius replied.

For someone like him who had learned tens of ancient languages and scripts in his past life, something like this was a piece of cake. In fact, Lucius had intentionally shown a little less ability than he had.

He knew better than to show the entire hand in one game. Even the bad handwriting that he showed was intentional. Lucius was used to carving runes by hand and did them freely, which was not something that could be done by anyone.

He had to show that his handwriting was bad, as directly showing a good one will be problematic.

Lucius listened as Kain continued his lesson and moved on to the part about constructing actual sentences. Their lesson continued till four in the evening, where they stopped.

"We should stop here and continue tomorrow. After all, count Gabriel will be arriving as well tonight, it won\'t do you good to be unprepared for the arrival." Kain reminded.

"That\'s true master Kain. We will continue tomorrow then." Lucius said.

Kain nodded his head and collected some of his things while leaving a few notes for Lucius to study in his spare time. He even pointed out a few books in the library that Lucius could read whenever he wanted.

Lucius accompanied Kain to the exit along with Kiana, and bade him farewell. But just as Kain was about to leave the mansion, a voice stopped him.

"Master Kain, please wait. You have to attend the feast tonight as well." Lita spoke.

"Will that be fine, Countess Lita?" Kain asked, feeling apprehensive.

"Of course, I\'m sure the count will appreciate your presence as well." Lita replied.

"Yes, Master Kain. I\'m sure the count will be pleased, after all you are teaching young Lord Asher." Kiana added.

Lucius too, nodded his head to show his approval. He didn\'t mind Kain being here and only thought that it could be beneficial. He knew that to become powerful, one needed connections as well.

And from what he got, Kain was no common person. He was not called a master for no reason, although Lucius still didn\'t know what he was a master of.

"Alright then, but I\'ll return in an hour. My clothes are… not exactly suitable for a feast." Kain said gesturing to his clothes.

"That\'s understandable, we\'ll wait for your attendance." Lita replied.

Kain left the mansion and Lucius turned to Lita.

"When will father be arriving? And do I need to know anything before meeting him?" Lucius asked.

"Hmm… he should be here in an hour or two. As for your next question, there really isn\'t anything. He was informed of your memory loss, so he will understand." Lita answered.

"I see. Well, I should get dressed then, take a bath too maybe." Lucius replied.

"Come, I guessed that you would want a bath, so I already had one prepared beforehand," Kiana said with a smile.

\'Oh, that\'s good. I do feel sweaty now." Lucius said and was guided to the bath house.

There was an entire hall set up for him to take a bath. There was a small pool that had steaming hot water in it, while there were a few toiletries like soap and scrubber kept there as well.

"This is rather good for a world of this standard…" Lucius said, seeing the entire set up.

He looked around for pipes and saw that they didn\'t have indoor plumbing, though. But when he looked near the pool, there was a channel that went into the wall.

"Ah, looks like they heat the water outside and pour it through this…" Lucius guessed.

About an hour passed before he was all cleaned up and dressed. He felt refreshed and relaxed, too. Kiana was currently helping him dress up and was tying his belt. The belt was a diffrent design that Lucius had seen and was complex to wear.

It was obvious that it was something nobles would wear as it needed two people to put on. There were multiple hoops that linked to his pants and inner shirt, making them straight. Then finally he wore a long maroon coat that went a little below his waist.

He looked rather dashing with his face and the way he was dressed.

"You look handsome, Asher. I\'m sure the girls will swoon when they see you tonight." Kiana teased.

"Girls? What girls?" Lucius asked curiously.

"Did you forget other nobles will be visiting, too? That means their daughters will be coming too." Kiana replied.

"Ah, I see," Lucius replied.

~knock~

~knock~

"Who is it?" Kiana asked, while turning her head.

"Miss Kiana, Count Gabriel has arrived." A servant spoke from the outside.

"Just in time. Come on, let\'s go meet your father." Kiana said.

"Hmm." Lucius hummed in response.

Even he was looking forward to seeing who his father in this world was. From the people\'s reactions and impression, he could tell that Gabriel was rather well thought of and popular. Still, Lucius knew better than to just assume from people\'s impression as the true face of a person is often hidden behind a mask.

\'Let\'s see who Count Gabriel is…\'
