The Golden Throne

"Relax, Sir Nicholas. Who do you think I am? My father is the king. I already spoke to him in advance and sent him the earnings report of the merchant permits and taxes. We earnt a lot there, and we got the city permit a week ago. I wanted to announce it when I leave two weeks later. I have already prepared all the upcoming projects, and the details."

Liu Feng went to the study and brought back a huge stack of papers.

"Just these alone will take you a year to complete. When I get a summer break again, I will take a look at the town, nay, city's progression then. For now, focus on the current projects. I hope that they will all be done by the time I leave."

Liu Feng left Nicholas with the papers and a wide open mouth. He muttered, "Impossible, how did he do so much when he was within my watch? Is he a demon?"

Liu Feng went to his room to rest, when a shadow figure came out of the darkness.

"I wonder why his highness has revealed all his cards to Sir Nicholas? What if he isn't trustable?"

"And are you trustable? The only one I actually trust is my father, and my mother. All of you, I don't trust. Nicholas is not clever enough to use any of what I gave him for gain. Only I can do it again. As for you, I told you to stay out of my room. Just because my father sent you doesn't mean you can just act arrogantly and do whatever you want to do. By the way, send this letter to my father as well. Leave me."

Liu Feng spoke coldly to the mysterious man. The shadow snorted and left, leaving Liu Feng alone. Then, Lucas appeared, "Are you sure boy? Giving a letter to him? You still have not confirmed whether he works for your father or not. Just because he was in the castle at the time you left does not mean he works for your father. It is too dangerous playing like this."

"Since when did you care that much about me?", Liu Feng smiled.

Lucas's figure distorted and he refuted, "What do you mean I care about you? I just don't want to see a promising talent die off. Who will take me outside after that? No one would believe me even if I tell them that my soul is in a book. They would just yell ghost and run away."

"Well you do have a point there. Don't worry, I took several precautions. Only my father can open that letter,or it will self-destruct."

Liu Feng sat on the bed and started meditating.

"Well, you finally remembered to train! I thought that you gave up on magic because of the stupid city that you built. But, it's not like you can break through the bottleneck of the fifth order. You will need to comprehend it yourself, and to do that you must experience proper combat. No one in that stupid school will be able to help you in that. You have to go deep in the forest and battle magic beasts. It won't be easy. And, you are being monitored constantly. You have to find a way to break free from all these constraints."

Liu Feng opened his eyes. "Don't worry Lucas, the city is like my pet project. I have bigger, much bigger plans for the future. For now, I will just train normally. After school starts, there will be an excursion. I will 'get lost', and we will see what to do then. For now, let me concentrate on my city and school. My father has high expectations for me, and it has always been my dream to have my own city, but this is far from being my dream city. You will also benefit from this. Imagine how much talent you can train when you have your own mage tower."

"Yeah, I was about to ask you about that too… When will I get my mage tower? I have been waiting for a while now."
