The next day arrived, after doing his exercise and training, Zed started to plan what he needed to do before departing, of course the first thing he needed to do is telling his parents that he is going to leave. Deciding who to tell first, his mother or his father, he decided to tell his mother first just because he doesn't want to see his father first thing in morning.

His mother just arrived from a meeting hosted by Advarus Empire King in the emperial palace, Arriving in his mother room, Cordellia Duncan is frowning while reading a bunch of papers on her desk when she heard the door is opened, she look up and see her son determined face looking at her. Zed's mother is a gorgeous woman in his thirties, she have a beautiful hourglass figure, brown eyes with a curly brown hair making her look elegant in his white noble dress while still looking fine, if one looks closely, one can see there's a bag under her eyes looking exhausted like she didn't sleep for days but still doesn't make her less beautiful.

"Mom, i have something to talk to you" gripping his hand to help him push out the words he's going to say

"is that really appropriate thing to say when you just see your mother?" Asked Cordellia looking dotingly at his son, "Come here give me a hug" waving her hand telling Zed to come closer and giving him a tight hug

While hugging his mother, Zed have a troubled look on his face thinking " I can't bear to leave my mother side if she being like this" gaining his standing after the hug, Zed is frowning while thinking hard, is it the right choice to follow this sorcery who give him power to leave his mother like this?

Looking her son troubled face she decided to ask again " What are you going to say? just tell me i will try to understand" trying to convince Zed to tell her what's on his mind

Convincing himself to ask permission to his mother, "I....I want to leave calesar city to train myself so i can prove my father that i am not a disappointment" while looking at his mother eyes, trying to read what's on her mind after he said those words

" How long until you're back?" his mother asked holding her tears in hearing her only son was leaving her due to her husband that is too harsh on him.

"four years at least mom" answered Zed while whispering like he didn't want his mother to hear what he is saying

Hearing her son reply, She cannot help but broke down in tears. Cordellia is not doing well with her husband, her husband is not treating her well because he said that Cordellia is not raising her child well enough and make Zed into a disappointing son and sometimes, he hit Cordellia just because she always defend Zed.

Every time his mother argue, Duncan always said he did it to make Zed stronger and motivate Zed to be better than others but his mother always didn't support it. Looking at his mother crouching on the ground and crying, Zed immediately support his mother "Mom don't worry, i will be fine and i promise when i get back i will be a different person" saying this to reassure his mother that he's okay.

"I don't want you to change, i don't want you to become a slave of power like your father. I want you to be yourself, The Zed that live his life the way he wanted" his mother said with a depressed look on herself.

Knowing how his mother think, Zed cannot help but to feel blessed to have a mother like this, he thanked god that although he's a disappointing son in his father eyes but to his mother he is a like a diamond untouched by the cruel world.

"Mother as long as i live i will not become like father, i will be your doting son who life his carefree life and bring home a bunch of girl that will bear you grandchild so you will not feel lonely and don't have to think of anything else other than living your life and be happy" while saying this, Zed mark himself in his deepest heart that no matter what he will meet his mother expectation and fulfill his sacred oath to his mother.

Convinced by her son reply, she finally agrees to her son leaving to become a better and stronger man that she can rely on.

Hearing Zed walk into his room, and said that without even a greeting he answered " Go and do whatever you want, i give you the permission to leave calesar city But let me tell you this, with your current state you will not even last a week outside the city without bringing my name" said Duncan mockingly

Decided to not respond his father mocking, he respond " I do not ask for your permission, i only tell this because i still respect you as a father but if you ever lay your hands on mother again, i will not respect you again and mark my words i will drag you down your throne even if you are my father" Threatened Zed towards his father with a straight face but his sinister red and brown aura are leaking and trying to suppress his father.
