Reincarnated As The Hero Ring - Chapter 153
“I would want you to bring my son Linceo along with you in the journey to the Kingdom Of Vria if you wouldn’t mind that is…” Lord Framer said that to Vicar.
I can’t believe my ears right now, does Lord Framer wanted his son to join our adventure as well. But why does Lord Framer wanted that, shouldn’t Linceo stay at this town as he was that will become the next Lord of Eniesia Town.
If Linceo tag along to the Kingdom Of Vria, it would put him in danger, and would probably get kidnapped by some bandit along the way if they know Linceo’s identity. There must be a reason why Lord Framer wanted his son to join in the adventure.
Vicar was also thinking the same thing as me, he then asks Lord Framer. “Why do you want your son to join in our adventure, you do know that it will be dangerous and if something goes wrong. Your son could get killed…” Vicar said that.
“I know the risk but I do think that my son Linceo needed the experience. Linceo was a sheltered child as my wife is always spoiling and protecting him… He should learn about the danger and tried to defend himself. That’s why I wanted him to join your journey.” Lord Framer said his reason.
“Don’t you think that Linceo should have a say in this matter, he should be the one to decide whether he wanted to join in or not,” Vicar said that.
“You’re right, I guess I should hear what my son had to say.” Lord Framer then called out the maid that serve us the coffee. He then told the maid to call Linceo to this room as quickly as possible. After that, the maid leaves the room.
We waited for a minute or more and then the maid enters the room back as she bringing Linceo as well. The maid leaves the room as Linceo enters it. He then sits on the chair as he noticed that Vicar was in the room as well. Linceo smile at Vicar.
“Didn’t expect that you’re here Vicar, what are you doing here anyway,” Linceo said that.
“I was here to discuss something with your father…” Vicar simply said that as he didn’t want to say all of it. It’s best that Lord Framer the one that talks about it with his own son.
Lord Framer look to his son as he said, “Linceo there something that I wanted to ask you so please listen to what I’m going to say.”
Lord Framer said that in a serious tone and because of that, Linceo immediately look in his father’s direction and replied as he was curious about what his father gonna ask him. “I’m listening father, what’s the thing that you wanted to ask me about.”
“It’s regarding the journey that Vicar would go…” Lord Framer said.
“Would you finish what you’re going to ask me? They’re something that I needed to do after this so could you hurry up.” Linceo said that as it seems that he wanted to go elsewhere.
“I wanted you to go on a trip to the Kingdom Of Vria with Vicar.” Lord Framer said that to his son.
Hearing what his father just said to him just now, Linceo laughs as he thinks that his father was making a joke. He didn’t believe what his father had said to him.
“Is this a joke father, why should I go to the Kingdom Of Vria…” Linceo said that as he continues to laugh.
But soon his laughter was gone after seeing Lord Framer’s face, he could tell that his father’s face was serious and now realize that this wasn’t a joke after all. He then asks his father what his motive for him to doing this as it’s seems stupid.
“This is why I wanted you to go on a journey… You never experienced danger as you always been protected ever since you’re young. When I was at your age….” Lord Framer didn’t finish what he wanted to say as Linceo interrupt it.
“That’s your day, I don’t care what you been through as it was your life, not mine. Why should I put myself in danger.” Linceo said that as he really didn’t want to go on this adventure.
Well, both Vicar and I feel kinda awkward being in this position right now, it feels like that we shouldn’t be here as they started to argue with each other. I think it’s better that we should leave and come back after they had finally resolved all of the things.
But we can’t leave as Vicar didn’t have the courage to do so, he didn’t want to interrupt as he thinks that it would be rude for him to barge in the middle of their conversation right now. I wouldn’t blame Vicar for this one, I guess that the only option for us was to watch the argument until it over.
“Linceo! Experience is everything and without it… you will not be able to learn. This is the reason why I wanted you to join Vicar on his adventure.” Lord Framer said that.
“No Father! I will not go anywhere… I wouldn’t put myself in harm as I would be the next Lord of this Town soon.” Linceo said that.
“You will not be the next lord of this town… I would not give it to you unless you agree to go on the journey.” Lord Framer said that as he really wanted his son to go on a journey with us.
“You can’t threaten me with that, you do realize that eventually, I will take your place as the new lord of this town,” Linceo said that.
It seems that the argument has gotten much more worse from time to time. I don’t know which side should I take as I kinda agree with both of them. Lord Framer shouldn’t force his son but Lord Framer does have a point as experience does build up character.
On the other hand, I know how it feels to be forced to do something that you didn’t like. There’s nothing wrong with just being at home. The world is a dangerous place and the only place that we could feel safe is our own home. Going on an adventure will be dangerous.
Lord Framer look at Linceo very seriously as he said something to him, “I guess I can’t force you into it either but remember that I could give my position to other people that not within our family…”
“What! You can’t do that… The position of the town lord was always passed down to our family… Only the Indall bloodline has the right to rule this town.” Linceo said.
That’s why Linceo was so confident that he would be the next lord of this town. Only the people among his family could be the next lord. I guess that’s the system was kinda bad as I really don’t like the monarchy system, it’s not bad but I guess I prefer the opposite.
“The Indall Household was known for their bravery and that’s why people wanted people from this household to become the Lord Of Eniesia Town. As they believe that we could protect the town from any danger that comes.” Lord Framer said that.
“All of the people in this household knows that already… You shouldn’t bother telling me that. If there nothing more, I will take my leave.” Linceo said that as he gets up from his seat and about to leave this room. But he suddenly stops when Lord Framer asks him one question.
“You know that and that’s why I wanted to ask you, where did you go when the skeletons attack the town?” Lord Framer said. Linceo didn’t reply to that question as Lord Framer continue to say something.
“I know where you went at that time of the attack… I then realized that you don’t have the courage to fight, I guess it’s my fault. If only I hadn’t spoil you from time to time, you would become a courageous young man.” Lord Framer said that as he seems a little disappointed in his own son.
“I’m sorry father… I know that I’m a coward and maybe I don’t deserve to be the lord of this town after all.” Linceo said that as he also realizes the fact that he doesn’t do anything that time.
Somehow in my mind, I thought that Linceo was not a coward just from the way he talks. But I also realized that when the skeletons attack the town, he didn’t even help to defend the town. As the next lord, he should fight alongside his father to protect the town.
I don’t know where Linceo went at that time but I do think he probably inside the mansion all of the time. I wouldn’t blame Linceo if I was a person. Maybe I also would run away from the battle as well.
Lord Framer look at his son and said the same thing again, “That’s why I really wanted you to go with Vicar to the Kingdom Of Vria…”
