Chapter Twenty-Nine: Fate is Impermanent

My name is Gas, and I am the son of Duke Lucas, one of the three major dukes of the Magic Empire, and to be precise, the concubine of Duke Lucas!

Yes, I am a concubine, and I used to have a half-brother named Ekrant. www.biquge.info He is the son of his father's wife, and he is far from being comparable to my concubine!

Staying in a small firewood room with my mother, I once lay in my mother's arms more than once and asked my mother: The same father's son, why did Akrant have been pampered by thousands of people since he was a child? Why did he live in a more luxurious house than mine, eat better than me, dress more expensively than me, and go out with more pomp than me? Why did my father invite him to be the most powerful royal knight in the imperial capital as a teacher, and only chose a berserker for me? Could it be that all this was because he was born a day earlier than me?

I was disappointed by my mother's answer, because Akrant was a son-in-law, the son of a father and a princess, and I was just a concubine, the product of a drunken father's affair with a woman in a brothel!

Son-in-law, concubine?hehe...... I and the gas have never accepted it, and we will never accept it!

The level of food, drink, housing, transportation, and teachers is not as good as that of Ekrant, but it doesn't matter, those are just external, and the most important thing is your own efforts!

I spent two hours practicing equestrianism for one hour for Ekrant, and he spent two hours practicing swords, and I spent four hours practicing swords.

Under my persistent struggle, my martial arts and Aikrant have always been on par, but why, why did my father only have Ekrant in his eyes, only admiring and praising him, but never looking at me more?

For this reason, I cried many times in the firewood room holding my mother's thin body! I hated! I hated God, hated my father, hated everyone for being unfair! Even a random subordinate in the Duke's palace dared to call my mother a prostitute and bully my mother!

I'm going to kill you! I've never had this kind of grievance and anger in my heart!

When I was 12 years old, in the process of a martial arts competition with Ekrant, in order to get my father's attention and let him know that I was the best!

When I saw Akrant fall to the ground and cough up blood, the cells in my whole body danced, and the whole person was immersed in an unparalleled excitement!

Ha ha...... I'm the strongest, I'm the best! What kind of sister-in-law, sister-in-law, you eat, wear, and the teacher's level is better than mine, what's the use? Now my father sees who is the best, right? Haha......

At that time, I stood on the martial arts arena with my head held high, and I really felt like I was raising my eyebrows. However, when I turned my head to look at my mother, I didn't see the smile on my mother's face, but on the contrary, my mother's face was full of worry, which made me feel like a catastrophe was coming.

"Da! Da!"

My father strode over, not as I had imagined, patting me on the shoulder and shouting "Kid, you're great", but with a "snap" and a heavy slap that knocked me to the ground.

"Smack!"

On the edge of the arena, there was another loud slap in the face, and I was furious, and Ekrant's mother dared to slap my mother!

I'm going to kill you slut!, I screamed in my heart!

"Hegas, look at the good things you've done! He's your brother, how can you be so heavy?" my father scolded at me!

My heart was very aggrieved, and that night, I lay in my mother's arms and cried all night, asking my mother loudly, why was my father so unfair?

Mother's answer was still the same, because Ekrant was a son-in-law, the son of a father and a princess, and I was only a concubine, the product of a drunken father's affair with a woman in a brothel!

At night, after my mother fell asleep, I don't know why, I kept stroking my mother's cheek, as if I kept rubbing it like this, my mother would forget the shame of being slapped today.

Slut, dare to beat my mother, even if you are a princess, I will take revenge! Looking at my sleeping mother, I swear from the bottom of my heart!

After that night, I really understood the difference between me and Ekrant, and I had decided that I would not be so naïve in the future, and that I would show myself to be better than Ekrant in front of my father.

Since my father likes Ekrant, then I will follow his wishes, and accompany Ekrant to practice swords well in the future, and if I can, let Ekrant, at least in this way, my mother will not suffer again.

But because I injured Akrant in the martial arts arena, my father deprived me of everything, and from then on he no longer let me accompany Akrant to practice martial arts, and never saw me again, and it seems that I have never been a son.

Moreover, my mother and I were not even qualified to live in a firewood house, so we were thrown directly into the people's room and lived with the people.

That year, my mother and I did not know how much we suffered, and those subordinates in the ducal palace made things difficult for me and my mother all day long, and their mouths were full of mean words, saying what is the son of the duke?

Looking at the ugly faces of the people, I wanted to tear them apart, but I knew that I would never do it, otherwise I would be driven out of the ducal palace by my father and live on the streets from now on.

I thought that my life would pass like this, but fate was impermanent, and a year later, a big man came to the Duke's Palace, the vice-president of the Marne Academy, Arrogant!

It was said that Arrogant had been invited by his father to come to the house to test whether Ekrant had a talent for learning magic!

I have to say that the heavens made a big joke, Ekrant does not have the talent to learn magic, and I! happened to meet Arrogant when he was out of the house to take out the garbage, and was looked at by Arrogunte, and then called over to test. It turned out that I had a talent for learning magic!

At that time, Arrogant gave me a few obscure and esoteric spells with a blank face, saying that he would come back in a month and see how I was learning the spells, and I was really flattered at that time.

And a month later, when I successfully used the magic that Arrogent taught me, Arogent said lightly, seeing that I have a good talent, he wants to take me as an apprentice himself!

Yes, you heard me right, you took me as an apprentice yourself!

From that day on, the attitude of the whole ducal palace, down to the slaves and maids, and up to the father, changed one hundred and eighty degrees, just because I would become a magician, and my teacher was the vice-president of the Marne Academy, Arrogant!

At that time, I could clearly feel that my father looked at me differently, and he handed me the same eyes that he had only thrown to Ekrant before!

Hehe......

My father finally looked at me and paid attention to me, but it was too late, and my heart was already broken!
