Chapter 175 - Socializing

Nick ate the few dishes he had on his plate some of which he liked others not so much. most people had stopped paying attention to nick by the time he had finished eating , though a few people were still waiting for nick to do something exceptional since they were aware of his unique abilities for one reason or another. nick disposed of his plate and looked through the crowd of chatting people before he his gaze settled on an rather muscular young man with a coat of arms on his jacket. the young man was chatting amicably with a group of nobles so he was obviously important as a result nick decided it would only benefit him to leave a positive impression. nick started to walk towards the young man when he was stopped by a massive man with red hair and bulging muscles that were barely concealed by his fine blue suit. the man had a friendly smile as he held out his hand "hello there my name is wesley belios pleased to meet you." he said politely. nick shook the man hand "hello wesley my name is mark and the p.l.e.a.s.u.r.e is mine." nick didn't skip a beat even after being interrupted.

Wesley laughed heartily "truly a good fellow!" hes said jovially. "so mark I've heard an interesting rumor about you that i just had to confirm for myself and standing before you I'm honestly confused." he said honestly. nick understood at this point why wesley had came to him. "you are trying to figure out how i could be so strong if i am so thin correct?" nick asked calmly. wesley nodded "yes it truly boggles the mind since every person i have ever met with truly great strength were much like me in appearance." he said while flexing. nick nodded "the trick you see is not size but weight." he said calmly. wesley looked confused "i don't understand are you saying size and weight aren't the same thing?" he asked trying to understand. nick nodded "of course after all a wagon of feathers and a wagon of stone obviously weigh differently don't they?" nick asked simply. wesley looked enlightened "so if most people your size are feathers you are stone." he said in understanding. "but why are you different than everyone else?" he asked confused.

Nick laughed "rather obvious the answer to that question isn't it , i could not trade strength for speed so i simply developed in a way that improved both." he explained. wesley nodded "that does seem obvious but i don't understand how you did so." he said honestly. nick shrugged "i didn't question how i simply did." he lied. "well whatever , so am i right to assume you are going to after the throne?" he asked seriously. nick nodded and wesley laughed "i guessed as much , in truth i myself am going to try to compete as well." he said jovially. nick was surprised and it showed on his face "surprised aren't you , no need to answer it's all over your face , you must have some thoughts along the lines of how someone like me would want to be king." wesley said with a chuckle. "honestly my family has been running this kingdom in some fashion or another for generations so it's not that strange really." he explained honestly.
