11 Ten Years Part 2: Vivianas Food
Year 1565
Next day, Adone went to his teacher, one of the royal scholars, who taught him literature and greeted him "Teacher"
"Why did your highness came here? I have already taught you all the things that I know" an old scholarly man said as he looked towards Adone, he then continued "If it's about informing his majesty, I will inform him today that you have already acquired all the knowledge I posse, thus I completed the task his majesty gave me"
Adone asked eagerly "I wanted to ask you something but it's not about that"
"What is the question that made his highness so eager that he has to come to this old man first thing in the morning?" the old man asked.
"I wanted to know, how can I get access to the Royal Library?" Adone continued.
The teacher was first shocked but then came to his senses immediately after "If his highness wants to enter the Royal Library, you just need to get permission from your father, his majesty. I will inform his Majesty about it, it will help you get access to the Royal Library and I will also tell his Majesty that I have already taught your Highness all the things that I know" he repeated his words from prior, as he himself can't believe that a kid of five had learned all the knowledge he had accumulated even taught he taught him himself
"Okay," said Adone.
He then went back to his room and the next day he went to find his father, who was in the court so he started to wait in his office. After some time his father came to the office.
"Father" he greeted his father.
"Oh Adone, why are you here? I know you are good in literature but you shouldn't miss your classes" Drake said as he sat on the largest seat in the center of the office.
"About that, my teacher had nothing left to teach me, so I asked how to enter Royal library and he said that I should get the permission from you, father"
"Yes, I will give you permission that you are allowed to enter the royal library if you answer the same question that my father asked me and my brothers, when I asked him for the permission to enter the royal library and I asked the same from your brother when he asked him for the permission to enter the royal library. If your answer is correct I will allow you to enter the royal library but only after I have a talk with your teacher" he said as the teacher was unable to get a meeting with the king as he was busy.
"Okay father," said Adone
"Tell me Adone, what is the value of knowledge?"
After sometime Adone answered "Knowledge in our own hands is life when it's right and its death if it's wrong or incomplete. It can protect and it can annihilate depending on the one who has that knowledge. The magnitude of that depends on the extent of knowledge"
His answer was short and precise, which shocked the King as he knew his youngest son was a genius but this was the first time he witnessed it first hand. After some time he smiled then said "Good ....Good. Go you are allowed to enter the royal library"
Drake then scribbled something on a scroll and then he gave the scroll to Adone "Tomorrow give this to the head librarian of the Royal library"
"Yes father, I will go right away," he said excitedly and then left.
"Take care of him. If something happens to him, you know the consciences and make sure to spread the news of his achievements to everyone in the empire" he said seriously as he glared at an empty corner in the room.
"As you command, your Majesty. I will protect his highness with my very life" a voice replied as a shadow flickered in the corner of the room.
****************************************
After he got the scroll from his father, Adone went to see his mother and tell her that he got the approval to access the Royal Library "Mother, I got father's permission to enter the Royal Library"
She was first shocked, then she said tenderly "My son, you are a genius. To be able to get permission to enter the Royal Library at the age of five, you even surpassed your father."
"Come here I will cook something for you myself" and then she went towards the kitchen and Adone followed her.
He sat on a long dining table as his mother cooked and brought a pie over but just as she was about to cut the pie she was interrupted by a laughter "Viviana why didn't you tell me that you were cooking, if I were to be a little bit late I would not be able to eat the delicacies you made" the laughter came from Drake.
"You know how much I love your cooking" he continued as he walked towards Viviana, Adone's mother and placed his hand on her waist and looked towards the pie.
"Get your hands off of me you Meany. I made the pie for Adone, after all, he was the one who got the access to the royal library at the age of five" She cut the pie and gave a piece to Adone who was staring dumbly towards his father.
This was his first time seeing his father act like this in front of him which caused his lips to twitch but he then focuses his attention on the piece of the pie which smelled delicious. When he tasted it, he felt like it was the best thing he had ever eaten then he finished the piece, scared that his father might rob him of his pie. He then stared at the rest of the pie, then asked his mother "Mother this is the best thing I ever taste, can I have some more pie?"
He said so not because of taste but because of the information displayed on his retina
[Beep! Host's vitality increased slightly due to the effects of the food consumed that is full of life force]
[Beep! Host's vitality will increase by one if consumed thrice]
Before his mother can reply to his father growled "Brat would you dare to take my pie?"
"Huh.... When did this pie become yours? I cooked this pie especially for my son so you better stay your hands or you won't get any" Viviana snorted and then gave Adone another piece of the pie.
Adone savoringly ate the pie then said "Mother ...."
Before he could finish his mother placed the third piece of his plate.
He then ate it as well then stared the last piece of pie and said "Mother you should give this piece to father as he also wants to eat food cooked by mother"
That night he commanded Bionic Chip "Show me my Status"
