Different lives

A week had passed since the attack on the capital took place. 

A lot of people gathered in one place to hold the funerals of the people who passed away in the incident. 

The total number of casualties in the attack was in the hundreds.

Many people loved their spouse, their children, their parents, their dreams, their everything…

Sister Theresa was the one who conducted the funeral, with other sisters supporting her. 

In this world, weakness was a sin. 

If a person is not strong enough, everything will be taken from him. 

*********

Magic knights were in full force, rebuilding the broken houses and making sure that the public returned to their houses. 

All the mages who knew healing magic were made to work extra hard to treat the people who were injured. 

An extensive investigation was done, during which it was found that all the Purple Orca mages who maintained the barrier were killed.

There was a specific pattern to open the barrier, so it was sure that there was someone in the higher-ups who was a traitor. 

Not only the capital but the noble houses were also attacked too where some of the nobles were assassinated along with all of their treasurers and wealth gone. 

The royals and nobles were furious and wanted the Magic Knights to focus on them first, but the Wizard King firmly ignored them.

The King wanted to order the Wizard King, but his wives forced him to stop convincing them that it was a stupid move to make. 

The condition of Fuegoleon was kept a secret; it was only made known to the captains and some of the members. 

Due to this incident, the reputation of the Black Bulls soared. 

First, because of Asta and Noelle's fight against the zombies, then because of the action of Charmy, who not only helped them evaluate the battle site but also provided food to hundreds of people. 

All the other members of the Black Bulls helped with the aftereffects too, like Vanessa, who provided people with free clothes made from her string magic. 

Finally Julian because of whom the capital was still standing. 

Some people even called him the incarnation of the first wizard king. 

Just like the First Wizard King wielding the Four Leaf Clover Grimoire protected the kingdom against the Giant Demon, Julian wielding the Four Leaf Clover Grimoire saved the kingdom against such a monster.

Now people may ask where the hero Julian was, well, he could be seen sitting under a tree near a lake in the Grand Magic Zone. 

There was a fishing rod, but he didn't manage to catch even a single fish.

In his hand was an isekai novel of someone being iskekai'd with a shield. Beside him, Secre was trying to design a new type of seal that would let people store extra mana in their bodies to bring out in emergencies. 

For the last few weeks, he was constantly being put into stressful situations so he decided to take some rest away from everything. 

'Ah~such a peaceful life… 

I hope nothing happens ' 

Splash! 

Swish! 

Boom!

"Water Creation Magic: Water bullet !!" 

"Anti Magic Slash!!"  

"Lightning Magic…" 

Three screams and various sounds reached Julian's ears and his eyebrows twitch. After his fight in the capital, Asta and Noelle had disturbed him continuously to train them so Julian asked Kirin to train them. 

As always Kirin found a way to annoy Julian and decided to train them at the site where Julian came to relax.

Julian instead of accepting his fate used Lava Dragon's lair to erect a barrier. 

"Secre could you please add a soundproof seal to the barrier " 

Listening to his request Secre completely blocked the sounds from outside making it peaceful again. 

Secre was in a good mood.

She was very hesitant to express her emotions for Julian directly but surprisingly he took the initiative to take her on a date yesterday which was one of her best days in a while. 

She had known Julian for a while and knew that she was the one he took to date for the first time. Since she was connected to him by a seal, she could feel genuine emotions of care and happiness from Julian during the date which made her very happy.

Royal Castle 

The two Queens of the Clover Kingdom, Vivi, and Tiona Kira Clover could be seen eagerly waiting for someone. 

The door to their room opened as prince Lucis entered the room still in his magic knight attire. 

"Did you two call for me?" Lucis asked. 

"We did call for you...

I know that helping people but spend some time with us too" his mother Tiona said to him. 

"She is right, you should spend some time with your family too Lucis. Your sisters want to spend time with you but you are always busy." Vivi said. 

Hearing this Lucis rubbed his head with embarrassment and agreed to take a break from his work. 

Lucis spent an hour telling them stories about his adventures making both the queens both excited and worried for his safety. 

"I heard that Julian is a good friend of yours?" Tiona asked. 

"Yes, he is a good friend of mine" 

"Be sure to maintain a good relationship with him. Connections are very important for your future. 

Someone chosen by the Four Leaf Clover Grimoire and already being regarded as a Hero at such a young age so keeping him close with help you a lot. "

"I will keep that in mind mother "

Golden Dawn Base 

Yuno could be seen sitting on his bed thinking about something. 

"Are you still thinking about the battle that day?" wind spirit Sylph who Yuno called Bell asked him. 

"How did he get so strong? 

I always knew he was stronger than me but the power he showed in the Dungeon and the fight that day….made me realize that I knew so little about him." 

"The power he shown he that day is expected from a Ragnvindr. Moreover, he is someone chosen by the Lightning spirit Kirin" Bell said. 

"Ragnvindr?" Yuno asked confused. 

"You don't remember much since I woke up a few days ago, but Ragnvindr were a race who was considered the mightiest warriors who protected the world from shadows" 

"Julian-ni never told me about such a thing " 

"Since he didn't tell you there are two possibilities. Either he is not aware of his lineage or he doesn't want anyone to know about it. If it's later, it's better so keep it to yourself " Bell said. 

Yuno had known Bell for a few days and knew how annoying she was sometimes but she could sometimes give him solid advice on various things. This time too he decided to take her advice and not ask Julian about it. 

"Since I am with you, I will make you even stronger than him.

Just be close to me~" Bell said rubbing her cheeks against Yuno with a perverted smile.

Spade Nation 

"Seems like my last warning was clear to you Vanica ?" A man named Dante said to the woman standing opposite to him.

Dante is a tall man with green eyes and black, combed-back hair, and noticeable facial hair. 

His most notable feature is a black mark that runs along the entirety of his forehead.

"I thought I ordered you to keep an eye on her Zenon? " Dante said to the other person present in the room. 

Zenon didn't answer that question. 

"These are the orders from Lucius...

We are forbidden to interfere with the affairs of the other kingdoms till it's time. 

Remember that"
