《Raising Phoenix From Today》Chapter 12: What was your rank?
Advertisement
Lori told Sachi about the reality of her father which her father hid from her.
"Your father was very heroic and powerful warrior in his youth and our marriage is not an arranged one it was actually love marriage" She said smiling.
Sachi was shocked, her eyes became wide because this is totally different from what she saw her parents in the mansion.
Now when she think there were many things which she had not given thought about. There was no mention of her mother's family nor did anyone ever come from the time she was born.
"I met your father while travelling to the central continent with my brother and friends. We had great adventures on that journey. We even got selected to one of the magic and warrior academy in the central continent. We competed and had fun in the academy until the letter arrived" Lori sighed as she remembered the past.
"Six months after we joined the academy your grandfather passed away, so your father had to leave and come home to take care of the family. As I was madly in love with your father by that time I followed him."
"He had to take the position of the family head as he was the elder son. At first he took opinions and made independent decisions however slowly the elders started to pressure him, and your cunning uncle wanted to rule without taking the position. Because he knew he is not eligible as he is second son. Also, he has to obey the elders and follow them like a puppet, which he did not like."
"Your father actually tried to pass the position but he always declined and the elders did not agree. After that when I was pregnant with you, they thought it was a boy as they always wanted a male heir. When they saw it was a girl, they were angry. However, your uncle was also the same his child was a girl. So, the elders were disappointed with both brothers."

"They tried to find another wife for your father as you know it is normal to have two or more wives. And it is common to marry someone other who can give male heir. Even your uncle has a lover apart from your aunt Chelsea. But your father was stubborn and did not agree. So, from then he had to bear their disappointment and pressure. That is also why he was unable to go against them when they arranged the marriage with Black Noir even though he did not like it. He tried to talk with them but failed."
"I just hope you do not resent your father" her mother said sadly.
Sachi realized what she knew or experienced was different from reality. As her mother said her childhood was not sad, though it had ups and down she had a lot of happy moments until the marriage proposal arrived which changed everything for her.
"He was forced to become like how he is now inorder to save your childhood and his marriage with me" Lori explained.
There was complete silence for some time as Sachi digested the information and while lori reminisced her past looking at the stars.
"So what was your rank in the academy selections" asked Sachi suddenly inorder to change the topic.
Lori understood her daughter and smiled "Well we just passed with cut off scores, so do not ask how much. The central continent is bigger than the one we are in. As it is in the middle of the world, it is considered as the meeting hub so there are always people from different islands and other continents coming. The talents and power level is much higher and top notch there."
Sachi just nodded her head after hearing her mother.
This past month Sachi's views were changed a lot and her experiences grew, as she got closer to her mother like never before. She saw completely new sides of her mother and she learned a lot from her.

She learned hunting skills, archery and cooking. For the whole month she ate her mother's handmade food which was delicious and also, she learned cooking skills from her. She did not have this life while in the mansion. As there were maids and servants she very rarely ate her mother's cooked food.
Everyone was strict and mostly focused on training or in the case of girls raising them with etiquettes so that they can be used for marriage.
So, this was completely fresh for her. Sachi had a mother on earth as well, though she was not an orphan in childhood she was raised by a single parent. It had its pros and cons. But she was content and happy with her mom and her life.
However, the happiness did not stay long as her mother died in her youth. It affected her a lot, so she became cold and involved herself in heavy work to cope with the loss.
Now she was given a chance again and she does have great mom and spending time with her felt so good. Sachi felt that whatever fate has for her in store, she can say that she was lucky in one thing 'she had a great mom in both lives and they would fight the world for her.'
Sachi was fascinated by her mother's stories, she learned new things everyday from then, and her parent's adventures were more intriguing for her.
Queen also, joined with them from time to time in their stories, as well as in hunting the beasts.
On the fourth day they reached a town which was the final stop before reaching the mountain to cross this kingdom and step into another. They took their time in reaching as both mother and daughter travelled while having fun along the road.
Still, they reached a day before than expected due to the horses' transformation.
The town which was their last stop was actually crowded and there were sentries everywhere. Also, everyone was strictly monitored.

The world is broken. The apocalypse came and went, and only a fragment of humanity is left, scrambled into an unrecognizable mess. The remainders of the earth are filled with monsters from imagination and worse. Gates open periodically, leading to alien worlds, while dungeons form from damaged minds, creating nightmares for the unsuspecting. Some might see it as the end times. A hellscape. A story of humans pushed to their breaking points, desperately grasping for the last bits of humanity as the world crumbles around them. But a few might disagree. One man, in particular, sees opportunity. A chance. A path forward, to bring humanity from the depths of despair and turn it into a victory - a luxury. To remake the world even better than it was, dragging earth forward onto the galactic stage. It will require violence, lies, betrayals, magic, more violence, and the occasional genocide. But, hey. Everything worth doing is hard, right?
