The knight stories his mother Kirlia told him since he was a child had a profound impact on Lucas' heart.
At the age of 15, Lucas participated in a jousting competition organized by Farcell in order to prove himself.
Lucas thought of himself as a great knight, strong and brave.
However, he soon discovered that this was just an illusion.
After suffering a crushing defeat in the first match, Lucas still received no attention in the second match and was facing the crisis of being eliminated.
"You are an outstanding member of the Florance family and someone who will shoulder the responsibility of the country in the future."
The words his mother often said tugged at Lucas's heart.
That's impossible. My mother trusts me so much and she can't be wrong.
I had to win and prove my worth.
Lucas walked onto the field with a competitive spirit, his heart beating fast and his blood boiling.
The cheers of the crowd kept echoing in his ears.
"I have to win and prove my worth."
As if in response to this determination, the spear in Lucas's hand began to burn fiercely.
When the match started, as Lucas passed by his opponent, flames burst out from his spear and penetrated the opponent's armor. This was a perfect victory that he had won with his own hands.
When the game was over, two men came to Lucas.
The first was the judge of the jousting competition, who declared Lucas disqualified on the spot.
"The weapons used are contrary to the purpose of the competition."
After simply saying this, the judge turned and left.
The second person to come to him was his mother, Kirlia.
"As expected of a child of the Florance family, I am extremely proud of you."
Hearing this, the weapon in Lucas' hand trembled violently, flashing a scorching red light.
A few gold coins, a gold trophy, the cheers of the crowd.
Those things are nothing compared to mother's approval.
The day he received his mother's approval became the most important moment in Lucas' life.
Only through "proof" can one demonstrate his true value and influence, and that day, he successfully made his mother recognize him.
A few years later, in the re-launched jousting competition, Lucas even defeated Pereus' Official Knight and successfully won the championship.
All of this is the result of his hard work to prove himself.
"The so-called Official Knights are nothing more than puppets of Farcell. They are still useless."
The spear in Lucas' hand was burning with pride.
