The Hero,The Kingdom and The Reaper

Chapter 11: The Man In Black 2



Outside the capital of the kingdom of Rikos. In a town named ' Rios'.

" My lord this time the crops are even more good. Are you still going to send less revenue to the Skyster Family ". A man standing beside a table in a room spoke.

" Hm? What do mean by that, Silo ?" The man sitting on the chair spoke with a knowing tone.

" You know this too, My lord. The 'Young Lord' of The Skyster Family is recoverd and the moment he did. The first thing he did was to take back his land which was illegally occupied by other nobles ". Silo spoke with a warry voice. As he continued.

" Aren't you afraid th- " before he could complete.

The man sitting on the chair spoke. " You worry too much, silo ". He put a hand on silo's soilder.

" He is nothing but a child born in a big family. The thing those nobles did was too highlighted. They were destined to fall under his hand. But we ". The man starts walking outside the door as Silo follows.

" We are different, we are not that highlighted and maybe he doesn't even know that we exist ".

He was ' Toris Sanes '. One the handler of the Skyster Family's Land in Rios'.

Suddenly a man shouting crazily came to him.

" MY LORD! MY LORD! Haah..haah... Th-hah..The Young Lord of the Skyster Family is here! " He speaks as he catches his breath.

The moment Toris and Silo hears this. Both of them freezes.

With a hurriedly voice. " Are you sure it's the Young lord ?" Toris asks.

" I-i don't know who is inside, my lord. But the carriage definitely belongs to the Skyster Family. It has their emblem ". The man spoke his voice filled with terror.

" Okay, go back and act normally ". Toris speaks as he makes his way outside the castle.

I just wish it wouldn't be The Young Lord. If he came then it's a disaster. If it's else then there wouldn't be much problem. Even if they found something. They can't do anything related to the Skyster Family without Young Lord's permission.

...

Outside the castle.

A Grand carriage with an emblem of 'A bird flying' stopped. All the people in the surroundings bowed as they saw the carriage pass.

Everyone in the kingdom can recognise the emblem in at a glance. Even other kingdoms.

This is the influence and authority The Skyster Family carried.

When the carriage stopped. A stunning young man with black hairs wearing black clothes came out.

" Hm? Mother, who is that man wearing weird black clothes ". A boy standing besides her mother asks as he saw him.

" Shhhh! No, My boy don't say that. He is the Young Lord of The Skyster Family. The land on which we work is his ". Her mother silences him as to not make a deadly offence.

And tells him about the man in black.

Due to my enhanced senses I hears them but I didn't say anything. Just a child and his mother.

But the moment her mother says those words. Gossips fills the surroundings.

...

Hmm... Not so bad but not so good. Well, should be expected from a caretaker's castle.

Hm? Now that's interesting.

As I made my way towards the castle. My attention move towards a man with brown hair, simple build in his thirties wearing expensive clothes.

As they saws me coming their way. Both of them speaks as they bowed.

" Greetings, Young Lord. We are happy to see you recovered ". The man with expensive clothes spoke.

" Are you 'Toris Sanes' ?" I asks as I closes my distance.

"Y-yes, Young Lord". He hesitate's as he speaks. " Please this way ".

He leads us to a grand room filled with luxurious items that were concealed in a hurry.

Some Maid comes and serves some drinks and snacks.

" Young Lord, you should have let us know you were coming. I would have prepared some goods things for you. Haha..ha". Toris speaks as he gaves a little laugh at last.

For some time I didn't say anything and just looked at them. Both Toris and his advisor Silo standing besides him started sweating.

" I wouldn't beat around the bush, Toris. You know why I have to come here. Buttler ". As I spoke the buttler puts some documents on the table.

" These are the enteries of the revenue you have shared for last years which continues decreasing. Your reason ' Due to not having good crops' ". I speak as I lays back on the couch.

" You- ". Toris tried to speak but before he could.

" Don't try to give more excuses. Both of you are dismissed from your positions ". I spoke as I stood up from the couch.

" Y-young Lord, Please don't do this to me. It was his idea not mine ". Silo speaks as he fells in his knees.

Beside him. Toris saws his loyal subordinate betraying him in front of him. But even he couldn't do anything. It was a dead end.

I moves around. " Buttler, The next time any of them are seen on our land. Their heads should roll ". I spoke sending shivers down their spines as I moved out of the room.

" As you command young lord ". The Buttler follows after looking at both of them as if saving their pictures in mind.

Now in the room, Only two men stood with a heavy silent. Both of them knows that their life is finished. Now they can only live in hiding or leave the kingdom.

...

As I made my way outside the buttler spoke.

" Young Lord, Who is going to hand this land now ?" He asks.

Well, it's not like. The land will handle her on it's own. Someone needs to handle this land and someone loyal.

As I thought. My eyes fells on the pair of mother and son standing outside the castle.

The moment they notices me watching them her mother fells on her knees. " Young Lord, Please for- "

I knew what she was going to say. So, before she could speak. " You will be the new Lord and handle these lands ". I spoke.

" Huh?" All the people watching, the woman herself and even the buttler was surprised.

" What's your name ?" I asked as I helped he up.

She blushed before she spoke. " I-its 'Mili', Young Lord ".

" Hm. Do you know how to read and write, Mili ?"

" Y-yes, Young Lord. I am well educated. But due to my financial issues and my husband's death. I had to work here ". She answers.

" Okay then, It's settled. You will be the new Lord of and will handle these lands. I will send someone to help you know how it works ". I speaks as I made my way towards the carriage. There are many like these.

" T-thank you, Young Lord. We will never forget your generosity ". Mili says as she and her son bows.

I just smiled at them and sits in the carriage.

The smile which made many of the womens hearts race.

...

In the carriage.

" Buttler, send a loyal guard to protect Mili and her son ". I speaks as I watched the scenery outside.

" Okay, Young Lord ". The buttler nod. " Should we continue or go back to the castle ".

" Buttler, how many days will it take if I continues ?" I asks as I also wanna se my land and outside world.

" It will take a week , Young Lord ". The buttler answers.

" Hmm.... Then continue. Let's finish this first ". I speaks as I lays in the carriage.

...

In the Skyster Family's Main Castle

A girl laid on her bed restlessly. Rolling around and trying to sleep.

" Why hasn't he came yet ?" Suzine spoke talking to herself in her room.

" Aahh! Why can't I do something else. All the time my mind just pictures him and everytime it does it beats so fast." She rolled again her cheeks turning red.

But she didn't knew that her wait wasn't of a single day. She will find out soon though.
