Quinn Family

As Jason entered the room, the woman slowly opened her eyes and looked at the maid.

Seeing the maid's reaction, she slowly turned her head towards the door.

First, her eyes widened, then her body shook and she pushed away the blanket and tried to get up, but it appeared that it was quite difficult for her.

With maid help, she sat down. It appeared that there was now life in those dead eyes of her as energy was flowing in her veins again. She was excited.

Jason didn't stand by the door either. He walked toward her and sat beside her. Then, he held her hands and called out.

"Mother.! I am ok now."

Time Skip - Two Days.

Jason had blended in his new family quite well. He also met his father that night at the dinner table and the family of three had a nice long chat.

When he was asked why he had been sleeping for days, he told them that he had a head injury. It turned out to be quite effective as medical system in this era was very underdeveloped and internal injuries were very hard to detect, so the doctors he was shown to would not be able to detect anything wrong with him anyway.

William would rarely talk to his family that much, not to mention the other changes in behavior Jason had unknowingly displayed, but his parents thought that it was due to the head injury he supposedly had and would go back to normal soon.

Currently, he was walking towards his father's study to talk about something.

When he arrived after a long walk from the long corridor, he was greeted by the two knights outside. They were one of the guard pairs that were there to protect the prime minister, his father.

"Jacob, I want to talk to father about something important." Jason said to one of the guards.

"Understood young master. Please wait a moment." Jacob was an old fella and a family guard.

A few minutes later.

"Please enter, young master." Jacob came back and held the door open.

Jason entered. It was a spacious room with several bookshelves, right and left. His father was sitting in front of him, behind a bulky table, writing on a piece of paper with a quill. Two guards were standing on both side of the wall behind him.

When Jason entered, the prime minister looked up and talked with an expressionless face.

"William. What do you want to talk about.? We could talk during the dinner tonight, then what was so argent that you had to come here.?"

"Father. This is very important. We need to talk alone." Jason relied.

"Both David and Harley are my most trusted knights, you can talk." His father said after raising an eyebrow.

"Perhaps, but it's better to be careful. Those two guards outside need to stand further away from the door as well. Just in case." Jason replied.

"Hmm." His father now had a serious face.

"You two go outside and guard the door and tell the two outside to stand further away from the door. Make sure nobody comes in." His father commanded.

After the two guards left.

"Alright.! What is it about.?" His father asked.

"It's about the real reason why I had slept for all those days. It's not because I had a head injury, but I was poisoned. I was poisoned by the church believers, living in this house." Jason replied.

His father's eyes widened.

"But, you are a church believer yourself.! Why would church...."

"That's because it was an act all along father.! I did indeed used to be a believer, but I began to see more and more truth as time passed and church's true nature started to reveal it self. Father. The witches are not devil's minions. There is no entity like the 'god', described by the church. Church spread plagues and diseases, just to increase the number of it's believers and there are a ton of other dark deeds that the church had done, in order to achieve it's goals." Jason replied, in a cold voice.

"Hmm. But, it still doesn't explain why church would try to poison you in such a manner. They could use plenty of ways that would be a lot more risk free. Like sending a group of warriors, poised as bandits when you are travelling outside or even sending an assassin after you, when you visit the church by yourself."

Horford Quinn was after all a prime minister of a country and he had see many waves in his life. He quickly comprehended what his son was saying and asked Jason an important question.

"That's because Church had done many dark deeds father and once I had taken part in an experiment. If my death is to be related to church, in any way, it would be a big loss for the church." Jason relied, while leaning on the table.

His father was a little startled, but quickly calmed down.

"What kind of experiment was it.? Don't beat around the bush William. Tell me everything. This is a very sensitive matter."

"Church had spread rumors about witches being devils minions because they can use magic power, but let me tell you a secret father. The church has witches too. They call them the pure witches and the witches are not the only ones who can use magic power. Church had been experimenting about magic since it was established four hundred years ago and it has created the god punishment warriors and other things, through magic."

Then, after a little pause and letting his father comprehend, he started talking again after noticing that Horford was nodding his head for him to continue.

"The experiment I participated in was to let men wield magic power, like the witches do and it was a success. I can use magic father." Jason whispered.

His father looked at him in the eye and stayed silent.

"They want to kill me now because they think that their experiment was not a success. Initial plan was to use me like a puppet, like they do the god punishment warriors, but because of the magic power, their controlling methods didn't work on me. Now I have my own free will and I can use magic. Not much different from the witches they persecute. If my death is to be related to church, there is a chance that the truth would be revealed, but if it turns out to be an accident..."

"Then, they can simply cut their loses and move on as going against Quinn family would be like going again the whole kingdom of dawn. They can still damage our reputation by spreading rumors though." His father interrupted.

After a short pause.

"Could you tell me what is church's goal in the end and also prove to me that you can use magic. It's not like I don't believe you, but the whole thing sounds a bit bizarre. Let me ask you a few questions to ascertain that you are indeed William, my son. What if you are a witch, impersonating my son.!? Sorry, but this is a sensitive matter. I need to confirm." His father replied, clearly a bit suspicious about a few things, but mostly he believed him. Jason could tell.

"Alright, ask away. First confirm that I am your son." Jason replied.

After a long series of questions about his childhood and other things, William told him that church's real goal was to rule the four kingdoms and it had been planning this for four hundred years.

"I know that it might sound a bit strange and it doesn't explain many actions taken by the church, but I don't know everything about church either, father. However, the things I have told you are absolutely correct. I can guarantee that." Jason said in a confident voice.

"Hmm.!" His father replied while thinking about something as he sounded a little distracted.

"As for me, using magic power, let me show you. My magic is not affected by the god stone of retaliation like the witches, so you don't need to take it off."

Jason told him, while he was also simultaneously communicating with system, in his mind.

"System. Activate sonar in my left eye."
