14 Chapter 14 - Connected.

It had only been a few weeks since I ordered the katanas, but it seems that somehow there were problems in their elaboration, it does not surprise me creating them for the first time without having experience is very difficult, I had to return to the smithy to guide Bernat in the footsteps, seeing his embarrassed face was quite funny I have to admit that teaching like a child still master blacksmith feels pretty good. It makes me look more incredible than I already seem.

That reminds me that my mother had questioned me not long ago. It seems that he wants to find out how so many things happen that leave a great impact on this world.

I did not know what to say, it is not as if it was very difficult to give an example the 'Te' is only boiling leaves with a little sugar, nothing very complicated in my opinion. But not my parents, they loved tea almost immediately, especially my mother, and from what I heard all the ladies of the kingdom in general, I was honestly surprised I only did it because I had a craving to take it and now it was added to one more of the inventions of the 'inventor genius' I like the nickname by the way.

Anyway, it is not something that hurts me, but on the contrary, I will be waiting for everyone's reaction when they taste the food with the spices. One of the points why I do not like the food of this time, it is too simple cooked or roasted meat and nothing else, for someone used to the foods of the future it is too sad, that's why I create lists with drawings of spices that the servants they have to search or collect.

This of course is secondary, it is only for pleasure. The real thing is happening in the army of our house for a few months the soldiers began with the training regimen my father wanted me to be the person who will explain in detail to gain recognition among the troops, after all, I would be the future lord of the Valley.

"Well, that went well," I said with a smile as I walked through the castle.

Just outside, you could see several legions of men training an approximate 500 per legion in perfect order, some hitting with the sword a simulation of a wooden doll, the techniques they used were exactly those applied by the Spartans, others were practicing with a spear and other shield formations.

That is because the weapon styles within the Valley army were also changed, now instead of the sword as their main weapon, they use a long spear accompanied by a heavy shield with a circular appearance. Bows will be updated to increase their range, plus each archer will have a Long Crossbow with them.

On the other hand, the infantry on horseback is being trained in Roman battle formations and tactics. I knew well that I only had a maximum of nine years to prepare the Valley, if my memory serves me correctly, that it is impossible in nine years the crusades will begin a chain of religious wars promoted by the Catholic Church against various empires, it goes without saying that it will be extremely chaotic. To prepare not only my house but this kingdom, I needed to get more than a noble house, there was no other way out, I needed the throne.

A lot of work to do, for the moment I will concentrate because to have an advantage you will need to update the weapons, more than the medieval ones I had in my plans the creation of firearms, if everything went well in the second crusade or before the weapons would be ready.

Now, the armor is quite deficient, I lose because I tried one and it is horrible, the movement is seriously affected I do not understand how there are people who can walk or fight with that on, that is the reason why new more futuristic models for so to call it is so in construction plans. A few months ago I sent the servants to find anyone who has skills or can apply the blacksmith trade, just a few days later I already had 200 new blacksmiths, it just took a good incentive and many who served another house came to ours.

For now, I can not do anything else but wait for the plans that are under construction, I only have personal training that by the way is a success I am about to become a master in kenjutsu and my tele-leg skills are so improving I can already hear people's thoughts when I focus on it. It is for that reason that all the spies in our house disappeared in strange circumstances, it is surprising who can be spies and you would never have imagined it, discovering that one of the oldest servants was a spy sent by the king himself was disconcerting, the guy practically He lived his whole life in our house, and we never knew it. Yet another perk that is great to have these skills for.

Something I've always wanted is to have a mount, you know something like a great animal in which to ride into battle like in those stories or movies. Pity that I cannot communicate with them, at least not that I know yet that I have an idea of ​​what to do I have not found worthwhile one.

Something interesting that I just described is the secrecy of our house.

The sigil of the Burkhardt house is a sword with a pair of majestic wings extended to the sides wanting to touch the sky in the middle of this a bent ribbon of the ends where the iconic phrase of our house is embodied by the first lord of the Valley.

Supprema venemur, qui venabuntur Nobis.

We hunt those who hunt us.

Latin?

I'm sure I had heard that phrase somewhere, I don't remember exactly where, but I have to admit it's pretty good considering that all the lords of the valley were Grimm's it's a family thing my father seems to be very proud of it, I remember asking him about who in the kingdom knew about us.

It seems that apart from the king, only some lords of the royal families and of course the Starks who have friendship with our family. To be honest, I thought I was better known I guess it would not be good to tell people, a general panic would break out.

Sansa Stark - Pov.

Location - North | Winterstrom.

Sometimes I wonder if having something that everyone wants is worth it, in my opinion, it is nothing more than just a burden, that something beneficial to be born with dazzling beauty if you ask any of the girls they would say that it is the perfect dream of a lady, Hours and hours of training just to do simple things like drink from a cup, walk, move, say hello, they even teach you how to react, they just want to teach me how to breathe properly.

It's all a pain in the ass, I love my mother, but she's suffocating with her lessons. I have always wanted to know that there is more of these things, act free, without anyone saying what to do, it is too stressful I do not want a fucking husband who wants to solve everything in life, there is nothing more stupid than those idiotic heirs with their smiles of shit wanting to impress me by showing off unearned wealth and more decadent battle skills I've ever seen.

He enjoyed hitting idiots who want to annoy me, also girls who just for being prettier than they plan to humiliate me with such silly plans that they are embarrassing. One day mother realized this and scold me for not acting like a lady, one of the most tiring moments of my life and it didn't help that I was starting to have strange dreams, I wouldn't know how to describe it, but I knew it was I was the person in the dream, but it was not me. That is to say if it was me, but I had another appearance I wore strange clothes in general everything is strange, they are like fragments that arrive night after night in my dreams.

I'm curious what they mean, maybe they could help me get out of this shitty life that he led. At least now everything is calm I still cannot believe that 7 houses were fighting to have me as a trophy of an idiot heir, I would have preferred to be born ugly to be free.

According to my father, my "fiancé" is quite good, his brother's son and best friend, a boy named Nicolay Burkhardt, I have never seen him, but his father came to our house for a few months now. Her coming brought our father a lot of joy, I rarely see her laugh so much, I must admit that her arrival opened my eyes to a new world that I did not know existed, monsters that walk in the darkness of.

And her family, the Burkhardt, have been hunting them for generations, special humans, to put it another way, it was great at first I was not convinced, but seeing my father's seriousness I knew it was Real, she would never lie to us with something like that.

It was a scary thing to think that such things exist, but at the same time exciting I was just like Arya, excited only that I could control my emotions after that my brothers have not slept well again.

It seems I have a peculiar fiancé, a genius inventor, and a demon hunter.

"That certainly is interesting."
