As I walk to the maid in front of me I try my best to keep balance. Finally reaching her she laughs happily “Good job young prince! You took your first steps!” Too exhausted to celebrate, I let the maid carry me without fuss. Being a baby sucks! I am like… What? 1 year old now? All my days are just in this one room. Crawling and being brought toys by the maids. One time a butler came in but he didn’t stay long. Currently the maid Alice is holding me. I have gotten a few of their names through eavesdropping. There are four maids in total that handle me in shifts. Alice is kind and I think wants a child of her own. Sarah is a bit stern at times. Olga is the oldest and is like a grandma. Celia is the youngest and tends to treat me like a young brother.
I think she has one. Besides those four I have seen my parents a few times. My mother is a beautiful woman named Veronica. I think I have her eyes. Mostly because the maids tell me I share them. For my father he only showed up twice so far. He is a cold man with a scowling face. His name is Ezberd and I know I share his nose? The maids say it has the same sharp edges. I babble to myself in the cradle once placed down. Trying to practice and sound out words. But without full teeth I won’t be saying anything easily. My stats are looking a bit better though.

Hold on. Where did Poison Resistance come from? I have just been focusing on magic proficiency. I don''t think I have eaten anything poisonous? Is one of the maids trying to kill me? Not nice! I am an innocent baby. Must be through the bottle because I don’t see how breast milk could poison me. Wait… Do they use lead for their baby bottles? If so, then that''s where it may be from. When I next see the baby bottle I will have to see if I can tell if it’s led or not. Alice comes in and I see the baby bottle. I stare hard at it. Come on observation! Tell me! [Bottle of Milk.] Ah ha! Oh. It is just a bottle of milk.
Then I guess this clears Alice as the culprit. Three more maids to test. Wait, if I do find out who it is, how will I tell people? I guess once I learn to talk? But will they believe me? I mean I have to get proof first. But how would I do that? Hmm. Well maybe once I can talk, I can mention my stomach hurting after drinking milk from the culprit. At least then a doctor will have to see me. But for now, I will just bide my time. I am placed down, and I practice stretches. To Alice it looks like dancing, but I am building leg and arm strength with every move.
After a few days I am able to narrow it down to Sarah. How could she! I keep up the facade and drink the milk. This is a game after all and getting skills is a must. If drinking this will get me more poison resists, then it’s just a net profit for me. Just have to hope she never uses anything too deadly. It does make me curious to why Sarah is doing this. I don’t think she would have any real reason to be giving me poison but who knows. In any case I have figured out how to channel my magic powers.
When the maids are busy, I have been making my shadow move. Using my mana to manipulate it to different shapes. So far this has just leveled my magic proficiency, but I am hoping to get a spell. I have also figured out how to bend light with magic since it is very similar to shadows. Maybe I can be a mage? I mean I have the talent for magic at least. Even if it is just parlor tricks.
