Chapter 1: Mindfulness

The Delos Empire, the capital of Lanl, the residence of the Cretan family.

In the gorgeous and solemn corridor, a burly, dignified middle-aged man walked calmly, with a slight stubble on his chin, his eyes were bright, and there was a temperament between his eyebrows that was not angry and arrogant. He was dressed in the imperial capital warrior uniform, and he walked majestically and truly. Walking down the corridor, he stepped into the inner hall with the door wide open. When the people around him saw him, they bowed their heads and saluted him, shouting "Master of the House".

Wayne Crete nodded in response, and walked straight to the main seat in front of the nave. After sitting down, he looked at the courtyard in front of the inner hall and was distracted.

"Are you alright?" asked a dignified, beautiful woman who walked out of the back of the hall and saw Wayne in a trance.

"Hopefully Jeno will have a good day today. Wayne raised his hand and stroked the corner of his forehead, then looked at Nasha and said.

"I'm sure God won't always ignore our son," Nasha walked over to Wayne and gently stroked his shoulder with her hand, "We'll just have to go with the flow." Everything will be fine, you have to believe in Jeno, dear ......"

Wayne nodded, took her hand, and a soft glimmer flashed in his eyes.

"What about Leah and Jeno? I'll send someone early in the morning to get them ready. ”

"It should be coming soon. You know, children play hard, and we parents should be more tolerant of them. ”

"It's not right to delay business after all. ”

"Wait, there's still plenty of time......"

Leah walked into the room and saw that the maids were doing nothing about their brother who was lying on the bed.

"Miss Leah, it's great that you're here!" a maid said with joy as she noticed Leah approaching, "Master Jeno, he'...... I won't get out of bed all the time......"

Leah pursed her rosy little mouth and looked at Jeno who was rolling on the bed, feeling helpless in her heart. She looked up at the maid and smiled at her, "Sister Lielle, leave this to me, you go and do other things, I will take good care of him." ”

The other maids looked at each other a few times, then bowed their heads and saluted, "Trouble Miss Leah." ”

"Go ahead. Leah narrowed her smile and waved at them. The maids understood and left respectfully.

Jeno looked at his sister standing on the edge of the bed, and with an "ahhhh Leah sighed, patted his head lightly and said, "Arnold, you can't sleep, we agreed last night that we were going out to play today, so we can't play tricks." ”

Jeno looked up at Leah, grunted, and buried his head in her favor.

"If you delay it any longer, Dad will scold. Get up, Arnold?"

Jeno just buried his head deeper, Leah was a little anxious, she shook Jeno: "Hurry up, I can't sleep anymore, we said that we will go out together today, and we can't play tricks." ”

Jeno snorted dissatisfiedly, and Leah knew she couldn't push him anymore or he would lose his temper again.

Leah thought for a moment, then smiled, leaned into Jeno's ear, touched his head and whispered, "That's it, if you are obedient today...... Is it okay for my sister to sleep with you at night?"

Jeno still buried his head deep and didn't react. Leah chuckled softly, then said, "Then I'll go." Goodbye......"

Jeno suddenly showed his head and raised his eyes to stare at Leah. Leah looked at him and smiled and said, "Don't lie to you, listen to my sister today, my sister will sleep with you at night, so you won't be afraid." ”

Jeno sat up from the bed after hearing this, and Leah touched his head and said, "That's good, get dressed first." ”

Leah sighed softly as she watched her brother get out of bed with a blank face and stretch his limbs to put on the clothes she handed her.

For a long time, Jeno, the eldest son of the Cretan family, was a joke in the eyes of outsiders......

The Cretan family is the leading martial arts family of the Dnoth Empire. The ancestor of the family, Tewerus Crete, was the founding general who followed Scholock the Great to conquer half of the territory of Dnos. After the founding of the People's Republic of China, the official worshiped the position of the Grand Duke, enjoyed all kinds of glory, and the family prospered for a long time. The Cretan family has been handed down to the family with fighting spirit and swordsmanship, and there have been many strong swordsmen in the family history, and even one of the few sword saints in the world. The current head of the family, Wayne Crete, is one of the eight great sword saints in the world today. Wayne Swordmaster traveled far and wide as a young man, enjoying a great reputation on the continent. After returning to the family, he naturally succeeded to the position of head of the family and married the eldest lady of the Vitnarn family, Nassa Vitnn.

In the eyes of outsiders, the current Cretan family is in full swing, and no one can shake its status as the number one martial arts family in the Denos Empire. However, it seems that the heavens are intent on suppressing the Cretan family. After marriage, Wayne, the head of the family, first gave birth to a daughter with his wife, Leah Crete, and two years later, he gave birth to the eldest son, Jeno Crete, who brought a huge blow to the family.

It is not for nothing that Jeno Crete brought a huge blow to the family. Originally, Jeno was no different from other babies when he was born, but when he grew up, everyone gradually discovered his abnormality. He is now 7 years old and still can't speak, and even learning to walk is much later than children his age. And he behaves stupidly, most of the time his eyes are glazed and distracted. As the No. 1 martial arts family in Denos, there have been many capable and strong people in the family over the centuries, but this time, Wayne Crete had to admit that he gave birth to a child who brought shame to the family, and because of this, Wayne himself and the entire Cretan family have not been optimistic in recent years.

Leah pulled the expressionless Jeno into the hall, and after looking at Jeno beside her, she looked at her parents and said, "Father, mother, it's all ready." ”

"Hmm......" Wayne stood up, glanced at Jeno, exhaled through his nose, and walked out, "Let's go." ”

Nasha walked up to Leah and Jeno and gently touched Jeno's head, looked at Leah with a smile and said, "Let's go, take care of your brother." ”

Leah nodded obediently and took Jeno's hand and walked out behind her mother.

A splendid and comfortable carriage stopped at the gate of the Cretan house, and the tall and sturdy unicorn shook its head and staggered. Rune Chesfeller, the butler next to the carriage, looked at the people of Wayne who walked down the steps of the door and bowed: "Master, ma'am, everything is ready." ”

Wayne looked at Rune and said, "Thank you for your hard work", and Rune replied, "Where is the duty", and stretched out his hand to ask Wayne to get in the car. Wayne then stepped into the carriage and entered the carriage.

Nasha stepped forward and looked at Rune and chuckled and said, "Thanks to you, Rune, there have been a lot of affairs in the clan recently, so it must be very hard, right?"

Rune shook his head with a smile and said, "It's all my duty, and it's also to repay the kindness of the head of the family, and there is no hard work." Besides, today is a crucial day for the little young master and the Cretan family. ”

Nasha nodded and stepped into the carriage.

Nasha sat down next to Wayne and took his hand, Wayne gently patted Nasha's hand and comforted: "Don't worry, I invited Archbishop Sainz of the Holy See of Light, he is the oldest and best awakened in the Holy See, we can only pray now, God can take care of our son." ”

"God, he'll ......," Nasha whispered as she looked at Jeno, who was being pulled by Leah outside the car.

Leah took her brother Jeno's hand, looked up at Rune and politely shouted "Hello Uncle Rune".

Rune smiled and squatted down and touched Leah and Jeno's heads and said, "Leah is so beautiful today, Jeno is also very energetic, I must give your father and mother a long face today." Leah, you have to take care of your brother too. ”

"Definitely!" Leah smiled sweetly as she looked at Rune.

"Uncle, let's take you to the car, come ......," Rune said as she picked up the two of them and put them in the car, and Nasha lifted the curtain to let them in.

Once everyone was seated, Rune nodded to the others and shouted, "Let's go!" The carriage moved slowly.

Nassa smiled and touched Leah and Jeno's heads, and Wayne frowned at Jano's blank eyes before turning his face to look out the window.

Jeno sat there, staring straight ahead without blinking, as if he had lost his soul......

The Holy See of Light, in front of the Huiqing Palace.

Cardinal Archbishop Sainz No. Narveti of the Holy See of Light and a group of believers stood solemnly in front of the temple waiting for today's distinguished guests. Sainz watched as the Cretan family's carriage stopped under the tall and wide staircase, and Wayne stepped out of the carriage and looked up at the tall statues of priests on either side of the staircase. Glancing back at his wife and children, who had gotten out of the car close behind, he walked up the stairs towards Archbishop Sainz, who was waiting in front of the temple.

"Welcome, Honorable Admiral Wayne. Sainz saluted Wayne with one hand on his chest.

Wayne returned the salute to Sainz: "I'm going to trouble Archbishop Sainz today." ”

"It's my honor to be able to awaken my mind for the children of the first soldier of the Empire. Rest assured Admiral Wayne, I will do my best to get this done. Sainz made a "please" gesture, and Wayne nodded and entered the hall with him, Nasha leading Jano and Leah to follow.

Jeno stared ahead with blank eyes, letting Leah pull him through the tiled aisle. The aisles are lined with tall stone carvings of the gods, and the walls behind the stone carvings are painted with ukiyo-e paintings of mythological records.

I don't know how long I walked, how many turns I turned, and everyone stopped at the end of the aisle under the leadership of Sainz. Sainz walked into the temple, bowed by the door, and made a "please" gesture. Wayne looked up at the open-air window in the center of the dome, and the sunlight was shining through the dome on the relief altar in the center of the hall. There were also 9 smaller altars around the central platform, on which 8 other priests of the Holy See of Light had already stood.

"I've been waiting for you, Lord Wayne. Priest Keller, who was close to the temple door, bowed respectfully to Wayne at the door.

Wayne nodded and bowed to the priests present, "Today there are priests. ”

"Without further ado, let's get started. Sainz nodded to Wayne, then looked at Jeno behind everyone and said, "Please ask Master Jeno to get ready on the central altar." ”

Jeno let Leah lead them into the temple, and the tall, ornate altar appeared before him, and he looked up at it in a daze.
