Chapter 7 Step Backfires

His four sons are, Maty Dart from the Dart family, Benert hawk from the Hawk family, Henry White from the White family and lastly Ferguson from a common family with no hierarchy lineage. He couldn't get time to solve these problems because of certain problems bothering the finances of the Kingdom. In front of The King is the Marques who guards the north border. He is the father of Maria, Marquess Dolph, also known as Lord Dolphy . They were discussing about the movement of the Humanoid races at the north border.

"Your Majesty, we have to prepare because a war could break out"Marquess Dolph said as he looked at the man he was talking to. "A war, with the Humanoid races you know we won't win"He said dejectedly. "I know but their movements twith that they could attack at anytime."He replied. "Is that it... "He asked. Marquess Dolph looked the man with worried eyes and said "That's all for now your majesty, you should take rest and resign from office and give the young ones their chance" "You know that i can't be biase at all else all the things I have built through my years of hard work will collapse right in front of my own eyes. "He refuted "That's the problem, but please rest"He said as he turned and watched the queen before he bowed and left the meeting room heading straight out.On his way out he saw a young man he was very familiar with;he is prince Darius. *Guys, now the name has been changed from Ferguson to Darius, Ferguson is the name of the protagonist in my other novel, link will be provided at the end of this chapter** "Good morning,Marques Dolph how are you doing nowadays at the borders? "He asked as he walked to where Marquess Dolph was. Marquess Dolph watched him as he came his way and shook his head;"the problem of been born from a common background and that too to a concubine, you fate is sealed if you don't get any opportunity to help you survive"He whispered to himself before he replied him. "Am good am good and how is the prince doing in the capital,? "He laughed and said Darius smiled back and walked closer to him and extended a hand for a handshake. Marques Dolph didn't hold back and shaked hand. He has no enmity with this boy, he likes him a lot because he is always frank and kind and is also from a common background. Not many know that the king favors him more that his other sons but he couldn't crown him as the crown prince because he has not much support from the nobles in the kingdom. Many of the follows those from the influential background. It is said that he has a few people who are truly supporting him and his brothers have bought them with gifts, beauties and properties. They talked a bit and bid fare well then Marquess Dolph left for his home. "I hope I win this man on my side to survive if I don't win the crown prince position or else my mother and I are finished from this earth if we don't escape early. He stood there thinking about the future. He knew he and his combined force is nit a match for either of his brothers. A moment of silence later he left. ~~~~~~~~~~ In a nice decorated room a young man sits in a nice carved chair with a liquor in hand as he drinks. Beside him is an old man in full white clothes, in the room are many beautiful young girls dancing and serving. "Bernet, you need to eliminate that commoner first, nobody will investigate about his death" The old man said as he pulled a young girl in his embrace. "No, grandfather you are mistaken that brat is the the beloved son of my father"he refused as suggested. This man is Benert Hawk and his grandfather Paul Hawk, he is the younger brother of the leader of the of patriarch of the Hawk family. They are the transporters of all resources in the kingdom. They owns all transportations devices in the kingdom. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Back in Nates house he was busy repairing all faulty and broken furniture in his house. He was preparing for the moment in which his last life couldn't accomplish. All the work require strength and with his new found strength got it all. While he was hammering, pushing and pulling he leveled up <<>> [host has leveled up +1] [STR +2] "Phew, so I can level up doing physical activities as well, that's great"He said as he was in a good mood today. "Am almost done, I hope she comes"He said as he moved from place to place fixing patches and remodeling something's in his room. After he was done he cooked a delicious meal and started to eat it was already noon. "Why hasn't she come yet? , she normally comes at this time. "He thought inwardly to himself as he eats. He sat there and ate. He finished and there was still no sign of her coming for today. He waited and waited but there was not even a shadow of her around and it was getting dark. "She didn't come today, is it that she saw through my plans, he he??"He thought as he laughed. It was evening and he decided to check his status again for the day; <<>> [Name: Nate Cowell ] [Age:19 ] [Magic Cultivation: Mortal.] [Body Cultivation: Mortal ] [Talent: None ] [Level: 1 ] [HP: 50/70 ] [MP: 5/5 ] [STR: 9 ] [AGL: 7 ] [VIT: 7 ] [STM: 7 ] [INT:12 ] [DEF: 7 ] [Blank Point : 2 ] [Abilities: None ] [New Quest: Conquer Maria Clair] [Description: Fuck her and let her fall deep in love with you] [Time Limit:15(9)days ] [Failure to accomplish will result in punishment] [Reward: Inspection skill, +3 STM] Now it was left with 9 days before his punishment is inflicted. He went to sleep and slept peacefully like always. The next day he woke up and went to exercise to see I'd he could level up. In the mansion of Marques Dolph a young lady is sitting on her bed after he just woke up, she has been thinking of Nate frequently nowadays. She keeps thinking of thinking of Nate but don't get the time visit him. This young lady is Maria. "Hah, Nate just wait a bit more for me, I am been put to work, I hope I get time to see you"She muttered before she laid on her bed and fell asleep. The next day in the morning Nate was busy fishing, this time not to sell but to stock it and cook.He sat there doing nothing new but there was someone lurking in the corner spying on him. He is the bodyguard of Maria. Maria was busy in the early morning studying techniques that had been given to her by her father. She had to cultivate and and protect herself then her self. She stayed like this for the whole day and managed to breakthrough to the early stage Apprentice Magician from half-step. "Hah, I did it, I did it I can feel it "She screamed as she started to get up from the floor. "This calls for a celebration"She got out of her room and walked out of the mansion making her way to Nate's house. She got there quickly this time as she made a breakthrough. *pum pum pum* She knocked on the door as she got to the house. Meanwhile inside the house Nate was asleep as he heard someone knocking on his door "Who could it be at this time? "He said as he walked to the door and opened it. "Ahhh, Maria what are you doing here by this time? He ask sounding surprise. "I made a breakthrough and came to celebrate with you first"She replied, then entered the house. "Made a breakthrough, hah this evening breakthrough and she came here"Nate stood at the gate thinking. He got out of his thinking and made his way to the hall where Maria was already sitting with liquors in front of her As she saw Nate she requested him to sit and drink with her;"Nate sit and drink with me okay" "Okay". He accepted They drank and drank till they got drunk and couldn't move so they supported each other up. "Nate do you know you are handsome? "She talked in a drunk state "Yeah I know, I always say and people always watch me"He responded Maria watched Nate's face then stood on her toes and kissed him on the lip, Nate felt his heart quicken and held her as they continued to embrace themselves in their kiss. They broke the kiss, watched each others face to be sure of what is about to go on. On Maria's beautiful face was a look of doubt. It seems she doesn't like what was about to go on. "Hmm, am sorry my bad"Nate said as he looked at Maria. Maria stood there and was thinking if she did the right thing;"should I continue with it, I have to stop for now a step at a time". "I need to go"She said as she rushed out of the bedroom "No, you can't go by this time of the night"Nate said as she rushed forward blocking her way. She looked at him then replied;"you don't have to worry, my bodyguard is here" Nate fell into a stupor ;"Whaaaaat!!!, that your bodyguard guy was here all along Nate felt very grateful for not pushing things way too fast. 'Thank goodness, sigh"He sigh and got out of the way for her to go. She felt reluctant, she didn't want to go but had to she couldn't give herself away like this. It has to be natural not when they were drunk, this is not a good ideal. She thought Nate was drunk and couldn't control himself, not knowing that the two of them are not drunk. "I will come see you later"She spoke these lines and left thought the darkness. "Why did you do this to me, making me want for you too much"Nate said as he shook his head.
