Chapter 1 - Adopted

Alexander was a hero born to a standard family with his only aspiration to help his family through earning money.

Alexander's family was attacked by bandits on their way to the kingdom of hope.

Sadly only Alexander survived from the attack and watched his family get slaughtered by bandits.

Alexander fled to a forest near the attack and hid until the bandits left.

After the bandits left Alexander approached the carriage in which he saw his family dead on the ground.

Alexander cried until he passed out. when Alexander woke up he saw that he was inside a carriage with a person.

"Are you awake?" The person asked.

"Who are you?" Alexander asked while taking a defensive stance.

"Do not fret I won't harm you" The person said.

"You did not answer my question" Alexander said.

"Feisty one aren't ya" The person said.

"My name is Leon von Archean the Duke of the kingdom of hope" Leon said.

"How do I know you are not lying?" Alexander said.

"See here" Leon said while pointing at a crest on his chest.

The crest on Leon's chest has two swords and a dragon in the middle on it and on the bottom has the name of his house von Archean.

"Why?" Alexander asked.

"Why?" Leon asked while tilting his head.

"Why did you save me I..I..i have nothing left?" Alexander said while tears came from his eyes.

"How could I leave a child in the middle of the streets that would be a disgrace to my house" Leon said.

"How could I repay you I have nothing" Alexander said while wiping his tears.

"You don't have to repay me your thanks is enough" Leon said.

"Thank you" Alexander said.

"What's your name?" Leon asked.

"My name is Alexander" Alexander said.

"Well Alexander welcome to the family" Leon said.

"Wait what why?" Alexander asked.

"Now that your family are dead you have no one to support you and I feel that will be someone important in the future" Leon said.

After a while they finally arrived at the Kingdom of hope.

The kingdom of hope was situated in a valley of mountains by a river that stretched for miles which provided the kingdom with huge amounts of resources and a formidable defense from invaders.

The only problem was there military. because there large resources they only focused on economy which is great but they have to resort to mercenaries. but when they would run out of money they would not have enough money to recruit mercenaries and that would cause their down fall.

"How is the view you like it?" Leon asked.

"It's awesome" Alexander said while looking out the window.

Because the kingdom was in a valley the view was beautiful if you look from the top.

"Duke Leon we have arrived" The conductor said.

"Come on let's go" Leon said while dragging Alexander.

"Wow" Alexander said while looking at the mansion.

What appeared in front of Alexander was a mansion with other worldly proportions.

The mansion was as big as a football pitch and has a large garden in the front and the back.

The front garden has a giant fountain and a large open space with beautiful flowers.

"You like what you see?" Leon asked.

"Yeah" Alexander said.

"Wait till you see the inside" Leon said.

After saying that Leon opened the door revealing a hallway filled with maids and butlers.

"Welcome back Master" All the people in the hallway said.

"I'm happy to be back home everyone" Leon said.

"Sebas can you get a room ready for my new son Alexander?" Leon asked.

"What I did not consent to this" Alexander said.

"How do you know such big words" Leon said.

"Because I'm smart" Alexander said.

"Oh really" Leon said.

"What is 2x2?" Leon asked.

"4" Alexander said.

"10+20?" Leon asked.

"30" Alexander said.

"You are smart what a surprise" Leon said.

"Anyway go get him a room to stay in" Leon said.

"Wha" Alexander said.

"On it master" Sebas said without questioning Leon.

"Follow me young master" Sebas said.

After a few minutes they arrived at a room's door.

"Young master this your room" Sebas said before opening the door.

What was revealed was a room filled with plants and swords.

"Awesome" Alexander said while his eyes sparkled.

"Going master would you like a tour of the whole mansion?" Sebas asked.

"Yes please" Alexander said.

"Over here is master's office filled with books and magic stuff" Sebas said.

"Over here is the library filled with books only accessable by the von Archean family" Sebas said.

"Here is the door to the backyard of the mansion" Sebas said.

"And lastly master's, madam's, and young mistress's bedroom" Sebas said while pointing at three rooms.

"Is that all young master?" Sebas asked.

"Yes thank you very much" Alexander said.

"I will take my leave then" Sebas said while bowing.

'What a large place to be living in' Alexander thought.

'I guess I'm going to the library for now' Alexander thought.

After thinking to himself Alexander then walked towards the library.

But before he could turn to a corner he suddenly bumped into a person.

"Ow" the girl said while rubbing her head.

"Are you ok?" Alexander asked.

"I'm fine" the girl said.

"I'm sorry" Alexander said.

"Who are you?" the girl asked.

"Um my name is Alexander nice to meet you" Alexander said.

"Why are you here?" the girl asked.

"Um i was going to the library" Alexander said.

"But only people who are from my family are allowed to enter their?" girl asked.

"Wait are you Leon's daughter?" Alexander asked.

"Yeah.. my name is Elaine von Archean daughter of Leon von Archean" Elaine said.

"But that doesn't explain why you are allowed to enter the library?" Elaine asked.

"Well your father kinda adopted me" Alexander said.

"What!!" Elaine said.

"Yeah" Alexander said while scratching his head.

"But why would my father do that?" Elaine asked.

"Well he found me knocked out on a road where my family was killed so he helped me which I wanted to repay him but he refused instead he adopted me because I have nothing left" Alexander said while clenching his fists.
