Eternal Love 9 New Events

Early the next morning, Leo ran out of his room, heading straight to the family library. He went through different books and scrolls containing information about yin and yang. Since his mother had mentioned yin and yang to him previously, he found it a priority to read about it. Going through books after books, Leo couldn't find any clue relating to yin and yang. He was returning books to the bookshelf whe he suddenly got a paper cut from a plain book sitting by the side of the shelf.

Ouch! That actually hurt!, exclaimed Leo. Once a person starts cultivating, for every advancement they make, their bones and flesh practically becomes stronger and impenetrable to attacks weaker than their level except mana is infused in such attacks. Leo took the odd looking book and started reading. There was nothing on the cover page of the book. Leo opened the book, on the first page was written "balance". The book read."everything in the world exist on balance, good and evil, life and death, light and darkness, right and wrong. One can't exist without the other. Whatever one side does, the other side does the reverse. As life comes to new creatures death visits old ones. As one right decision could save hundreds of life, a wrong one could lead to catastrophe. Whatever part of the world that light shines on, darkness looms on the other. If one side does it one way, the other side can reverse it. Thats the sole concept of balance".

Returning the books back to the bookshelf, Leo hurriedly ran out of the library towards his room. He still couldn't comprehend how he could apply what he had read to himself. He went to the bathroom and took a warm bath. While dressing, a maid knocked on the door of his room

Maid, " young master Leo, the duke and d.u.c.h.ess await your presence at the dinning room"

Leo, " tell them I will join them shortly".

Leo dressed himself and walked out gracefully. This boy really had looks that could make a girl jealous. From his shoulder long spiky black hair to his beautiful black eyes, this young man's appearance is truly captivating.

He joined his parents and ate with them. After eating, Ed pa.s.sed some scrolls to Leo. These where to guide Leo in practising in his light element. Vanessa had also told Edward about her discovery concerning Leo's element the previous night while they where in each others bossoms.

Vanessa and Leo then hurriedly made for the training ground. Just as they had agreed, Vanessa thought Leo for two days straight, Ed took over for the next two days and Leo was givin three days to rest and train himself in his other elements.

These past days, Leo had followed a single routine. From waking up to eating to training and back to bed. In these past days, he had learnt quite alot from his parents. At the n.o.ble Knight realm, a knight is able to make an armour with his mana. This is because, at this stage, mana could be used extensively both internally, for healing injuries, enhancing the bones and muscles and enriching body physique, and externally, for attacking enemies and defending one self and some other pa.s.sive benefits like heightened senses.

*******************************************************************************************************

Its been eleven months since Leo started training in knighthood. He had trained diligently and hard. He had grasped the concept of applying his elements in his attacks, he could carry out simple versions of all his parents attacks. He had created multiple techniques to complement his dual sword style. During these eleven months, Leo had been indoors training and doing nothing more.

Today was a different day. d.u.c.h.ess Vanessa had conceived twins. A girl and a boy. A banquet was thrown to celebrate Edward. This duke, popularly known as Edward of the "Red lightning", during their war era, once again showed the tender and loving part of himself. Seeing him now, you would never believe he was reverend as a fierce knight.

Powerhouses within the continent and from other continents came to visit the respected duke. Four Ministers, representing the emperors of the four continents where also present. Minister William from Supreme Cloud Continent, Minister James from the Grand Tiger Continent, and Minister Helene from the Soaring Eagle Continent.

Outside of the Duke's mansion, different mounts could me seen being tended to by the servants in the house. These mounts belong to the different powerhouses present present at Duke Edwards mansion for the celebration. In a few moments, a majestic winged tiger landed in the courtyard. It was Duke Alex. Duke Alex, with his family hurriedly entered the mansion of his best friend, Duke Edward. Gaining the spotlight as he entered the mansion, everyone was shocked as the condition at which Alex had arrived in, Elizabeth was also pregnant. She looked like she was going to conceive anytime soon. People wonderer the kind of relationship the dukes had to go this far for each other.

Seeing his best friend, Edward went over to welcome them personally. Caitlin bowed respectfully towards Ed and Nessa.

Nessa," what a beauty! Young lady, how many hearts have you stolen?"

Alex laughed at Vanessa's tease. Where is Leo? Asked Alex.

Edward," Leonardo!"

Leo," yes dad?" Looking at Alex, he bowed and said "your grace"

Alex nodded,"what a handsome young devil, just like his father"

Elizabeth brought Caitlin forward. Leo who was being teased by Alex, walked out of the mansion yelling, Uncle Alex, when I am strong enough, I will so bully you. Alex laughed and continued chatting with Edward.

Caitlin asked," mom, his he going to be alright?" Elizabeth nodded wearily, then she continued discussing with Vanessa.

n.o.body had thought of telling the kids what had happened when both of them were just few months old. It had been totally ignored. Caitlin walked out of the mansion and took a walk around. Wow! She exclaimed, uncle Ed sure keeps this place alive. She kept walking until she came around the garden. As she walked into the garden, she saw the young man who had walked out on her father, are you alright? She asked. He turned around to see who was asking but something interrupted his turn. There was a sudden scream coming from the mansion.
