24 Silly Time

"What do you men when you say that sound is "Re" when clearly is a "Do!"

"The tempo is all wrong! How you use a 120 tempo when its clearly writen in a tempo of 180, are you trying to kill of boredom the audience?!"

"For God's sake that is cubism how it's possible that is Neo-classic style?!"

"Stop changing the key notes at your will. Try to feel the music and don't give me the crap that they sound the same when they are not!"

"Don't you dare to smash the piano or I will smash my fist in your head!"

"Mordred! Don't even think about escaping. You wanted to learn music and painting! So if you leave I will confiscate your armor and sword!"

"Arturia! Why are you writing pure nonsense? As a king you need to know how to write letters and decrees, so you better start reading all this literature works that the most famous persons in our world make with blood, sweat and tears."

"Don't cut the strings of the guitar and don't blow so hard the flute!"

How is that right now I want to kill someone or something?

Everything started when Arturia took Mordred because they needed to "bond" more their relationship. I leaved them alone but 10 days straight without touching my wife is a bit difficult. I decided to play music or paint some landscapes to pass the time. At first the two were only listening and looking but the more that I showed the more shocked they became.

"Why do you know how to play music? Who teach you? How is possible that this painting is like if it's have life on it owns?!" (Arturia)

"I learned in my past life and Beethoven with Mozart and DaVinci helped me in perfecting my own style and technique. Alexander Dumas teach me how to write a novel and I'm very good at it." (Lucius)

"But how is possible to learn so many arts?"

"As I say, I learned in my youth when I was in college and after that in my entire life started to learn more things. You think that being a CEO is only being good at business? If you want to impress your clients you need to know more than them in a lot of areas. Table manners, Dancing, Writing, Poetry, Music and a lot more is what you need to became a successful business man, not all the deals are make in the office, the most successful CEOs are the ones that close their deals in Pubs, concerts, beneficiary parties, etc. even when you are in the toilet of a club is valid" (Lucius)

"But that's like if you were a King. Even I that received special classes in my youth couldn't learn all of that" (Arturia)

"Please don't compare your education with the education that the truly elites in our world receive. For starts the future decided to educate all the people, the countries do that although the majority only to High School in my country wasn't like that. In my country if you want to reach further the government decided to fund the Universities and make them open to all public. They will fund the students with their studies and the students only need to do one thing "Learn". Maybe is not the best idea but it works marvels in my country to advance the ones that can afford to pay a university of the Ivy League for example. Our universities maybe they aren't in the upper strata of the educational system in our world but they defend pretty well. So like I was saying your studies are something that a boy or girl of ten years in our world known." (Lucius)

"Then you say that my education is sub-par to the education that receives most people for free?" (Arturia)

"Yes. The only King that I know that have the vision to give their people a really good education is Gilgamesh, the civilization that he build was so advanced that even our best scientists are incapable of discover how is that Vimana works. Vimana is a Technological marvel that put to shame our technology in modern times, one of its features is his engine. Photon crystals with liquid mercury is what its needed to work! We are still using oil! And the Uruk civilization utilized Mercury in liquid form and Photon Crystals? We are using Silicon to make our circuits! Every single time that I look at the marvels that exist in the Gate of Babylon I fight with my inner engineer to not break them! So I will tell you Knowledge is power!"

"Teach me!" (Arturia)

"Me too!" (Mordred)

"Uh? Why is that you are willing to study? There's something very wrong here. This is April's Fool or something like that because I can't imagine that the ones that run to the far ends of the Kingdom whenever I tried to teach you manners, eloquence and literature are asking me to teach them now of all times" (Lucius)

"Well… it's because you are scary when you are teaching us. You are more strict than everyone and If we don't do the things right, you start hitting us with the ruler in your hands, and that thing is a demonic weapon!" Arturia explained to me the reason why they run whenever I'm gonna teach them. Now that I think about that, the only ones that were willing to learn from me are Galahad, Tristan, Lancelot and Gawain, the others were hiding from me in all moment. Even Mordred gave a lot of excuses when I talk to her about to further increase her proficiency in the different topics about politics, math, literature etc. all of that was happening when I have my partner in crime in my hands. The almighty ruler "Chloe". I took the idea from one of my favorites Korean novels "Running away from the hero" even I went as far to ask Merlin, Solomon, Evangeline and Grail to make it for me. At first they were reluctant but they liked the idea the more I was speaking. In the end the silver ruler "Chloe" was born; it has way more blessings that in the original novel and although it doesn't have a conscious its aspects can rival a rank A weapon, it has two requirements to wield with full power:

1. The people need to say that they are willing to receive pointers from me

2. The user can't kill their students.

The result of that was a demonic weapon that it's very close to Gram; the skies in the throne of heroes were black with lightning and four persons (Monsters) were laughing nonstop when they finished the weapon. That day all the heroes sensed a very frightening aura from "Chloe" and the very first ones to suffer the mighty Chloe were the Knights of the Round Table. Until this day only four were brave enough to receive my teachings.

With a sudden laugh I summon Chloe and the next part was that Arturia and Mordred tried to run from this place.

"HAHAHAHAHAHA, you don't have a place to run! I'm the owner of this place and you don't have the strength to break the defensive arrays that cover this noble phantasm!" (Lucius)

Arturia and Mordred were trembling and hugging each other and it seems that if they gonna fall they will do it with a fight to the end.

The result was that Chloe struck each one of them and they were rolling in the floor writing in pain.

"WHY? Why we couldn't destroy that demonic weapon when we tried the last time?!" (Arturia & Mordred)

"Muahahahahahaha, this weapon can only be destroyed in the fires of the temple of Salomon, and needs that the original creators are present. Other thing the only one that can use it is me! No one can wield it! This is my precious!" (Lucius)

"Now my two beautiful students it's time to learn!" I say that with a very evil grin in my face. The two were pale faced and they fainted.

When they awakened again what greet them was me, Chloe and the study room. With no more chances to escape they resigned to fate. And we are here right now, first I teach them math, physics, chemistry and later I teach them Painting, dancing, music and literature; the two were very good at sciences but arts was a lot of problems.

Mordred and Arturia learned how to dance very fast because they martial training, I only told them that dancing is almost the same than a duel, the difference is the role they want to take. For example Arturia almost never wanted to be the female lead but I make her (obliged) to take that role Mordred in the other hand is excellent as a female partner. Painting was chaotic, the two were trying to draw themselves and the result was two deformed portraits; I looked at each of them and with a sigh I give them a few techniques to be better at drawing, you know the classic "balls and lines" that exercise is the best if you want that your drawing and writing became better. After a few more days they achieved to draw a passable portrait and we are now in the music part and literature part.

I teach them that the notes are (A (La), B (Si), C(Do), D (Re), E (Mi), G (Fa) and teach them the musical endecagram; I'm very honest with you this is very difficult even for me, the endecagram and all its variations make the musicians frustrated because you can have a G and later they have a C# below and a lot of technicalities that if you don't study for years can't master. So I'm not expecting that they can learn music at all. I will only teach them a few scores and how to play with actual instruments.

Mordred is good with the Guitar and Piano, Arturia is better with the violin and flute; the two played Twinkle Twinkle little star very good, they were a few errors but it was good. Don't take that song lightly a lot of musicians make their lives very miserable because they didn't respect the song in the end.

The days passed without much problem, there were only a few flying monsters that try their luck but SERAPH make them our launch. Other thing that happened was when I took Hong'er from the SPP and the funny thing was Hong'er tried to eat Gram; Gram was way too powerful for Hong'er and almost die, her teeth were broken and for a very few days she didn't want to take more swords or lances as snacks. Arturia almost killed Hong'er when she took Rhongomyniad from her hands. The beating was spectacular, she took the punishment that Mordred inflict her and do the same to Hong'er after she beat the crap out from Hong'er. After that Hong'er decided to never leave the SPP when these two women are present. I needed to give her a few tons more of Profound Crystals from the gate to make her happy again.

After three months of travel we approached the south of the Profound Sky Continent, and the place that will be the last before going to the other worlds.
