Mother and Details
Lui was able to get a wooden shack near his main store. Lui had placed the orders for the required machinery as per the knowledge given to him by the system to the blacksmiths.
"I don't know about this Lui...these designs are far too complicated to understand." Twain, the master blacksmith of the forge told Lui as he looked as the blueprints for the press machine.
"I know Twain, that's why I simplified it for you. I just want to know can you make it in time?" Lui asked. He knew the designs given to him by the system were far too ahead of its time for humans to understand. Lui himself had to spend the whole night redrawing, understanding, and simplifying it. With the help of System, he did it.
"We can do it?" Twain sounded confused himself.
"I will double the pay."
"We are happy to do your work."
"Fucking greedy pigs. Just because I made some money they all act like they deserve some part of it." Lui grumbled as he made his way back to his home. The tournament would start soon and there were many things to be done. He wanted the press ready by at least the middle part.
Many were looking forward to the opening ceremony. The Count of Lacona, Baron of Frontera, Baron of Lump and Viscount of Sichiles were going to attend the ceremony.
They would sit in the special VIP boxes specially made for them. The first match would be between two teams of Lump. Let's call them L1 and L2.
The total number of teams registered for the tournament were 10. Three of them were from Lump, one from Frontera, four from Lacona and two from Sichiles.
The tournament would take place for 10 days, with the teams being divided into groups of two. Each group would have five teams. Due to uneven number of teams in each group, the leftover team would battle it among themselves. For 3 days, the group battles would take place and at the end of the third day, the teams with first, second and third place in each group would battle with each other. This would go on for three more days. At the 6th day, the four teams with the most wins battle again for the final two, with one match being help each day. The final two teams would be known by the eighth day. They would get a rest of one day while the battle for third place would take place in the 9th day. The finals would be in the last day.
A long and busy 10 days ahead indeed. But for now, a nice tea chat with mother.
"Lui, only a few months back you came up with the idea of pots. Now look at you, hosting a sports competition. I am proud. " Isabella said as she and Lui were drinking tea.
Lui smiled. His mom was the world to him. She had been ridiculed a lot in the past. Now Lui would make sure that she gets all the happiness she deserves.
"Only a few days. Count Lacona and Baron Frontera have already arrived. Even some other nobles have also come here due to the hype. Maybe it's time to announce my blood to the world. " Lui said as Isabella's eyes widened.
"No!" She shouted as Lui sighed. He expected this reaction.
"Mom you loved father. He loved you too. You were supposed to be his wife. "
"He gave me two options. Either to get fame and riches or to get love. I chose the latter. But I didn't know that you would also suffer. " Tears were beginning to stream down her face as Lui sat up and hugged her.
"I promise you, you will get the riches you deserve. We will have our revenge. "
"You will not do anything bad to them. They are still our family. "
"When have they ever acted like family?! " Lui couldn't control himself anymore. Why did his mom still bore attachment to the place which kicked her out?
"Lui, listen. Love makes you do many questionable things. You will know it when you experience it yourself. "
"Love, is a distant thing for me. I don't have time. And neither there is someone who is capable of my love."
Isabella laughed. Lui also chuckled seeing her laugh genuinely.
"Sorry to disturb your mother-son moment but Bill is here. " Harry said as there was a bit of awkward silence between them.
"I will get you some soup. " Isabella said as she went to the kitchen. Lui also went to Bill.
