Lucius was busy for the day, his lessons with Bishop Reynald continued from today to the next day without any issue.

Due to his prior experience in his past world, Lucius was able to utilize his former knowledge to bring in improvements and adjustments to his artifact creation, which created great efficiency.

Bishop Reynald found himself clearly in awe and shock whenever Lucius performed such a feat that was befitting of an Apostle of Etara.

While it did get a little tiring to hear constant praises, Lucius was steadfast in his studies and soon grew more and more.

\'Hmm, I think it\'s now appropriate for me to slow down the lessons a little bit. While Bishop Reynald is unwilling to repair the old Inanis artifacts by himself, I also need to preoccupy myself with the other upcoming tasks for the coming days and weeks.\' Lucius thought.

Since Lucius\'s first talk in Etara\'s Cross with Baron Hugh and his speech, the need for the Masked Legion Mercenaries and the rehabilitation center became prominent and a forefront of his attention.

\'I\'ve given the people there enough time to prepare. I have expectations that they are able to bring for viable plans for the expansion to the other cities, and if there are any other things to correct then I must need to look into them.\' Lucius thought.

"Apostle Asher, is something of the matter?" Bishop Reynald asked, noticing that the young man\'s attention was not on him.

\'Even though he is the Apostle of Etara, the truth of the matter is that he is still also a young man. Blessed with divine wisdom, it is also up to him to decide how to use it. Perhaps he is now experiencing some fatigue from the continuous study.\' Bishop Reynald thought.

"Ah, Bishop. I was perhaps wondering if we could take a few day\'s break." Lucius said. "There are some other matters that I will need to accomplish beforehand before I can once again devote my attention to artifact creation."

"Please do not worry about it, Apostle Asher. Your grasp of both the concept and practical application far exceeds that of any apprentice and peer I have ever met so we are actually far ahead of schedule in my eyes. If you wish to take some time off, we can easily resume it at another time." Bishop Reynald said.

"I have matters upcoming, Bishop Reynald," Lucius said, noticing that the old man had made some assumptions of what Lucius was planning to do.

While it was not a requirement to correct Bishop Reynald, at that particular moment, Lucius stopped writing down in his script parchment and cleared his throat.

"You have already noticed Viscountess\'s Blackshield presence, Bishop Reynald?"

"Yes, the Viscountess is a fierce woman. To be able to sit down with her at a table and actually hear her speak is something akin to obtaining a rare tome." Bishop Reynald chuckled. "While not well-versed in things of the artifact, the way that she discusses and engages with Count Inanis about better steps on how to improve the guards of Count Inanis\'s barracks is most informative for those who are uninitiated in all things combat."

It was exceedingly true that the fact that Viscountess Blackshield was giving advice to Count Inanis was something akin to dropping multiple siege cannonball attacks, there was a chance that the Count might get offended but Viscountess Blackshield was zealous in pointing out where improvements needed to be made in an unforgiving manner.

Lucius noted the compliment paid forward to the Viscountess before he cleared his throat to return the subject back to the matter at hand.

"Well, she is not the only one who will be visiting here, Bishop Reynald. I have not yet received word, but Baron Hugh\'s visit is also coming for which I need to cater, and along with it is another project related to the growth of the Inanis\' Family name that is worth investing time too. We have made contact with the Masked Legion and are working with them to expand their reach across the kingdom and elsewhere if possible." Lucius explained.

"Ah. So many projects indeed." Bishop Reynald shook his head. "I have forgotten that a young nobleman such as yourself is required to participate in numerous activities. It is not actually that far from the church, but we also dedicate adequate periods of rest, Apostle Asher."

"Yes. I am doing my best to manage myself accordingly, Bishop Reynald. You need not to worry." Lucius said, completely unaware that his own back was dotted with black spots for a couple seconds, lingering over his skin before they all disappeared once more.

Lucius didn\'t feel it, but unconsciously, he shifted a little in his seat and felt a certain ache.

"Of course, forgive me for thinking too forwardly, Apostle Asher. If you wish to cut the lessons today, then I shall be departing back to my residence today and shall return at your call." Bishop Reynald bowed his head. It was wrong for him to assume that the Young Lord Asher Inanis was like any other youth among his age and was only given a brilliant gift, in fact, the young man was advanced in years as well.

"Thank you."

Once Bishop Reynald excused himself and made his way out of the Inanis Mansion. Lucius allowed himself a moment of rest and laid his head against the back of the chair.

"Asher?" Kiana\'s knock and interruption came in after a few minutes. "Bishop Reynald left for the day. Is something the matter?"

"No. I need to head to the re education center, Kiana. Prepare me a carriage ride, I shall be heading over there once you\'re done."

Kiana looked hard at Asher and thought that he looked a bit sickly. However, she knew that Asher was a man with a stubbornness greater than anything that she had ever witnessed.

"Very well, Asher." Kiana excused herself to accomplish her task, and after about ten minutes, she and Lucius were heading towards the re education center.

It was time to check on how they were.
