Chapter 129

Josephine meanwhile too was watching the show while searching for some kids who escaped the institute .

Josephine was the first to notice Lucius as she saw him watching the whole fiasco, "Hey, who are you kid and Why are you not in the institute? Did you leave in secret to watch this event? Where are your mates and friends?"

Lucius was quite scared as he tried to explain, "I am Lucius . I am an orphan and just arrived in this town . I don’t know what you are talking about Big Sis . "

Josephine caught his ears as she dragged him to the Institute and the quarters, "Come, you are coming with me . You guys can’t-fool me all the time . Joe has spoiled everyone of the kids at the institute, including you . "

Lucius begged as he spoke while Josephine dragged him to the institute by ears, "Please, don’t hurt my ears . I don’t know what you are talking about . "

Josephine mocked him as she heard him, "Just a little bit of pain and you are crying already . And every one of you brats in the institute think that you can become as strong as Jake . No pain, No gain, remember this . "

Lucius thought as heard her and nodded, ’I guess what she says is true as well . If I want to be stronger, I need to go through hardships . I can’t let mom’s sacrifice go in vain . ’

Josephine reached the Rose Institute Gates,

Both of them later reached the institute as she called the Quartermaster and asked about the situation of Lucius .

Josephine watched the documents and apologized as there was no mention of Lucius, "It seems you really are new in this town . I thought you were one of those brats who ran from classes to watch the event . I am really sorry for catching you by your ears . Would you like to join the Rose institute? You know Lord John provides free training, learning and food to all the orphans in this town . "

The Half-beast boy Clay reached Institute with his friends and approached Josephine as he saw her,

One of the Half-beast boy named Clay spoke, "If you want to join, then don’t join the class of this demoness, she will make life hell for everyone who is taught Knight training . Make sure to join other classes . "

Another Half-demon boy named Azrail whispered in the ears of Lucius, "Well, what he says is true . However, never say that in front of instructor Josephine or you will get your ass whopped . "

Josephine furrowed her brows as she heard Azrail, She had quite keen ears but ignored it,

As soon as Josephine saw the Half-beast boy, she caught him by his ears, "Weren’t you the one who threw that rock at that prisoner, don’t you know it is dangerous for kids to be around there . It seems you were the one who took all the children to that show . Weren’t you guys instructed to be in your classes?"

Clay didn’t match his eyes with Josephine as he tried to give his excuses, whistling slowly at the same time, "No, it wasn’t me, it was someone else who just looked like me . You can ask everyone, no one was there, we were only doing some Knight training . "

Josephine smiled and said, "Hmph even John saw you throwing the stone and you think you can escape?"

Clay excitedly asked Josephine as he heard her and asked her, "Really! Did Lord saw me as well?

"No . . . I mean did Lord saw the other guy as well?" Clay controlled his emotions as he blurted out .

Azrail was laughing the whole time as he saw the whole thing going on .

Lucius thought as he saw them, ’The people here are quite warm compared to other cities . I wonder why?’

’I wonder who were those men who helped me escape Laguna city . Apart from them, no one helped me . Anyway, I will train here for now as my goals match the goals of Count John for now . I can’t waste mom’s sacrifice in vain . Hell and this class? hmph . . . this hell would be a lot better than training alone . ’

Lucius then strengthened his will as he came near Josephine and asked her, "Sister Josephine, I would like to Join Rose institute under, I want to be someone who is able to protect himself and his friends . "

Josephine smiled as she heard him .

Josephine then asked about another girl of the gang to Clay, "Meanwhile, Where is that Elf girl, Anna . Isn’t she always with you guys?"

Clay subconsciously spoke about her to Josephine, "She is in the arithmetic class, always getting scared of the consequences . I will make sure she comes with us next time around . "

Josephine smiled as she gave her punishment, "It seems you guys really were near the podium where the event took place . You guys will be running 15 laps of the whole institute today or else don’t expect me to take both of you guys to meet Lord John next month . As for you Lucius since you have agreed to be under my tutelage you will join them in the class as well . "

Lucius screamed as Clay carried him off as well, "Damn, why would I have to run as well, I just joined now . This is Injustice . "

Azrail sighed as he spoke to Lucius, "Why do you think I always end up doing all this stuff?"

Lucius looked at Clay and understood as he resigned his fate to Clay carrying him off .

The quartermaster Bill smiled as he watched the kids leave, "It looks the new guy will be getting along well with his new gang . "

Josephine nodded as she heard him, "I guess he is still a kid but he is someone who is scarred as he seemed to possess immense will when he asked me to join Rose Institute . Anyway, make sure to prepare his dorm with them and register him in the institute . "

During this time a lot of people began to gossip about the templar assassin Francis and his humiliation that was carried out at North-frontier city .

Duke Blackwolf spoke to Fen, "I am quite surprised that this Upstart would have the spine to defy the Radiant church . I guess I need to change my evaluation on this upstart . "

Fen had his own thoughts, "I think he made the right decision to treat the Radiant church as his enemy as someone from the top might have certainly ordered his hit and hence the intense reaction from him . However, he should have hidden his enmity thoroughly . "

Duke Blackwolf smiled and spoke his hypothesis, "You forget that he has a relation with demons as well . I don’t think the Church would relent unless he stops his interactions with Vlad and Bluesea House at least . "

Fen nodded and spoke, "I guess this is one of the main points as well . I guess he is expecting more help from Prince Lukavv and Bluesea house by choosing his side this early . This will become quite tricky for us . "

Duke Sapphire said to Marquis Ray, "It seems he really is ready to confront the Radiant church by looking at his stance . It seems he purposely made Francis renounce his faith so that it can be a big black spot on Radiant Church . It looks like elves would really be happy to ally them with Count John as Prince Lukavv is someone who is unpredictable while John is someone who is at least predictable Ideologically as he doesn’t discriminate against races . I guess Tornwall really was right when I met him earlier . How did the Pope react to this?"

Ray sighed and said, "No news till now, I guess they really don’t like people peeping at them . They made sure not to reveal any news about the pope and cardinals . "

At the Radiant City,

Pope David roared hysterically, "What! How dare he humiliate both of our men publicly and make them renounce their faith? This is a big stain on our honor . He rejected my goodwill even after such a generous offer . Is that guy really itching for a fight just because of the mere successful assassination of that nobody called Sylvan and now that he has that weapon called Ballista and mini-ballista? He really needs to be executed as he has a lot of tendencies comparable to that lunatic . Additionally, this guy is more dangerous than Lukavv as he is quite smart in inventing new things which will be problematic for us in the future . From what I know he was the one who invented this Ballista unlike what the rumors said about that dwarf making the Ballista . "

Pope David continued, "I expected him to defy us but didn’t expect him to defy us publicly . I guess I underestimated him . He is forcing us to act against him . What do you think Calvin, do we hedge our bets and start funding Prince Charlie as well? I am quite impatient this time around . "
