The once Crown Prince of an Empire is now a caged bird that cannot enjoy the blue sky. My second chance in life turned out to be the same like in my previous live. Alone, without friends, without a family, lonely and gloomy. Until one day, I was given a black glove by a certain witch. That was the day I could finally set my sight outside of the darkness.

This so called Prince of Death is going to get out from his dark and gloomy tower, control his overpowered magic and enjoy the blue sky once again! Chapter 1: New Hope From Despair Have you experienced being doubted by your own family? Have you tried to explain, but deep inside, they keep doubting you? I am sure that some of you have experienced it, and I''m sure that it felt awful and painful! The saying of ''Once you lost trust, it is hard to regain it back.'' Is true... But I did not give up, i keep moving forward to face it. I ignored all kind of shit talk other says to me, I keep smiling at my mother and all of my families. I hid the pain from being betrayed and misunderstood by other and even my own family. At the tender age of 19 years old, when my emotion is starting to develop into that of an adult, when my emotion is at its weak state because of stress and depression. A stupid and yet hurtful incident happened. Being stabbed by your own best friend, doubted by your own family, slandered by your so called friend. Even though I know that society is a cruel place and yet¡­ To think that I would fall into a state of leaving no choice but to be passive and endure it silently¡­. Every day I keep my head down and covered both of my ears with earphone to block the whisper of the devil. But all of that just keep escalating even if I ignore it. I don''t know what to do, so I let out all of my worries and said it to my families at the family gathering. And again¡­ I was left disappointed! Their doubt intensified, their cold and mocking eyes opened a new wound on my battered heart! Their whisper and muttering made my ears bleed with hatred! Explaining my reasoning and trying to endure it is just foolish! I lost my composure and ended up blowing up all of my emotion¡­ All of my grievance and bottled emotion came out in a flurry, I screamed, cried and cursed. However it was a mistake¡­ I lost everything¡­. ........ "Hmmm¡­ I think that should do it. If I pull this rope, the soil will pour down from above." i muttered quietly. After digging a two meters deep pit, wide enough for me to sleep in it, I made sure that the wooden board that is supporting the soil working properly. It would be quite a joke of fate if I have to dig again after this¡­ And just like i planned, I got down in the two meters deep pit while holding a rope in my right hand. I lay down on my back and stared at the blue sky with white clouds floating in the sky, moving slowly being blown by the wind. "¡­. I wonder if I''m going to hell for this¡­ I have to say that I did a good job for a suicide plan, now I just need to let my body rot and be eaten by worm¡­ Hahaha¡­. Whatever, not like anyone going to worry about me anyway¡­" Closing my eyes slowly as if I''m going to sleep, I pulled the rope with everything I have. Guuhh! With a heavy feeling of being squashed, I can feel the dirt entering my mouth and nose, it was really uncomfortable, seriously uncomfortable¡­The story has been taken without consent; if you see it on Amazon, report the incident. I regret for gasping when the soil poured down just now. As time moving on, my lung started to hurt quite a lot, it was as if it''s going to explode. I can''t open my eyes, I can''t breaths nor can I speak. All I can do is just made some strange grunting sound using my throat. "Aaaauuu...." And that groan is the last sound I uttered in this world called Earth. ........ "Uuunngghh¡­. This¡­ I¡­ Uuhh¡­ Where am i?!" Shaking my head due to dizziness that attacked by brain, I muttered with a bewildered tone. I bet that there is no one who will shout and then be happy after they committed suicide. So my feeling as of right now is just pure bewilderment and confusion. Furthermore, the place I''m currently at is just too strange, didn''t I burry myself a moment ago?! This bright and completely white place is different from what I imagined for an afterlife¡­ And i''m sure that this is not hell either, I read in a lot of religious history that hell is a place of torture, but this empty and completely white place is just¡­ Creepy! "¡­. How idiotic¡­ foolish being¡­" When I was staring in a daze while thinking something about hell and random stuff. Suddenly, there is a hoarse and yet gentle voice that echoed in this white and empty room. It sounded like it came from a woman and yet not. That ambiguous voice is like a hoarse voice of a female but there is this strange feeling from it. Before I was able to reply and ask some question, my vision was filled with darkness. I can feel my five sense started to dull and fade away slowly. Not only that, even my brain started to hurt like it was stabbed by countless needles. I opened my mouth wanting to scream, but there is no sound coming out from it. I was panicking like crazy, but I remembered that I killed myself once, so why do I need to panic with something like this? So I calmed down and ignored everything that is happening to my body(?), not long after that, I can feel that my consciousness started to fade and then I was completely and utterly fell into the darkness¡­ .... ¡­...... ¡­......... In my hazy and blurry mind, I could hear a broken voice from male and female, they sounded happy but I don''t really understand what they are saying. I tried to open my eyes, but all I could see is a blurry figures of a giant moving frantically here and there. "¡­ Its¡­ oy¡­ lati¡­ on¡­" "Yes¡­ reat¡­ truly... ha¡­ py¡­ n¡­ me¡­ his name¡­ Alexius." What is this¡­ What happened now!? Is this something dead people would experience upon their death?! This ridiculously random scene that keep happening to me?! White and empty room and then this?! There is also that strange and weird voice that creeped me out! When i was wondering what the hell is going on, one of the giant man(?) tried to take me with his hands. S-stop! Don''t come near me! Da-damn it!! I frantically moved my heavy body trying to run away from the giant man(?) That is trying to grab me. But when I frantically moved my body, I glimpsed on something which seemed to be my own hand. Even though it was blurry, I still could see the shape of my hand. The problem is not my hand, but the shape! What''s with this chubby and small hand?! I can''t understand! I don''t understand it! How did it become like this?! When I froze up and think about my current situation, one of the giant man? Hold me in his arms, feeling the warmth and care from the giant man, I was overwhelmed with a sense of being at ease and my chaotic mind turned calm and empty! That feeling of love was a kind of drug for my cracked heart that was filled with darkness! When I was snuggled and kissed by the blurry figure, I let out a silent tears while starring at the blurry face in front of me. "¡­Wha¡­ go¡­ ng on?! He¡­ s¡­ not¡­ cr¡­ing!!" I could hear a broken angry voice of the man that is holding me, he was shouting about something I don''t understand, but I can feel his worry and uneasiness. Seeing this, I finally understood what is going on, I turned into a baby¡­ I was reincarnated into a baby! Is this some kind of God''s whim?! Even though I was someone who doesn''t believe in god, seeing is believing, me turning into a baby and that weird voice I heard in the white room is probably the God! I was happy, I am happy! I finally has the chance to start over! The overwhelming felling of happiness flooded my heart. The feeling of happiness and gratitude made me want to shout in joy! "Waaa¡­ Waaahhh... Uwaaa!" The sound that come out from my mouth is like a wailing of a baby¡­ I immediately became silent again after that burst of happy shout! What the hell! So embarrassing!! However, after that wailing I did a moment ago, I was then shoved into the arm of a giant that seems to be sitting. I could feel something soft and smell nice like that of a flower entered my mouth. ...¡­ I know what is this! And I refuse to say it! GOD DAMN IT!! Chapter 2: Two Year Old It has been 2 years since I was born in this world, It seems that this world is called Ivalia, and I''m currently in a place called Zaxvius Empire. Moreover, I was their first Prince too from what i have been heard all this time. My father name is Julius Merga Zaxvius, he is the Emperor¡­ The Emperor you know, Emperor¡­ I was so shocked that my eyes almost popped out! What kind of luck is this, I was reborn as a Prince from some Empire! God thanks a lot! With me still have the memory of my previous life, I decided to life a fulfilling live in here! My sad and lonely life in Earth can kiss goodbye. Now I am Alexius Merga Zaxvius, the first Prince and the Crown Prince of Zaxvius Empire! And I found out something really amazing! There is Magic in this world, Mage, Witch, Sorcerer and etc. I heard the maids talking about this often when they play with me. As for the language, they were actually talking in English, so I can understand most of it. And what''s more, the Swordsman in this world is crazily strong as fuck! I heard that the head Knight Turza killed a fucking Elder Dragon alone, so he should be someone with considerable might. I don''t know how strong an Elder Dragon in this world, but from the name alone, I know that it must be something awesome! And in game, it was some kind of old Dragon that could destroy a city. Well it was back on Earth though, plus this is not a game! The felling of wanting to grow up faster is burning stronger and stronger in my heart! But having a two years old kid talking out of the blue seems a bit creepy. So I need to pretend to be a kid for a while and endure my burning curiosity. This is my second chance in life, and I''m not planning to ruin it a second time! So there''s no way that I will do something stupid! With that in mind, I keep fooling around with the young maid in front of me, her name seems to be Mari, and I just can''t look away from her emerald green hair and her gentle expression when she look at me. She was like an angel that descended from the heaven by the will of the god. Though, i most definitely like her company, and besides, i love her great figure. Her brown eyes look a bit downcast but she always smiled as she tell me her story when she was adventuring. Even now, she is telling me a story in a very gentle voice with a smile on her beautiful face. "There is a certain Kingdom called Lasfarim, it was a Kingdom of fairy that was long forgotten and disappeared from this world. The whole Kingdom disappeared into nothing and without a trace. "Some says that it went into another world, and there is some that believed that the Fairy Queen angered the God and was punished. But the truth remains a mystery up until now. "However, there is only one person that know what happened to the Kingdom of the fairy. That person name is Ulric Ra Vervi the King of the Elf. He is the only person that know what happened to the Fairy¡­" "Uaa~~ Aaii Aii~~" (A/N: ¡­ I don''t have a kid.. so I don''t know¡­) I cried out and interrupted her, although her story is interesting, it was too depressing for me.This tale has been unlawfully lifted without the author''s consent. Report any appearances on Amazon. "Hmm? What''s wrong my prince? Are you curious as to what happened to the fairy?" Mari asked while tilting her head as she looked at me with a loving gaze. "Mm¡­ yaya~~" "Hehehe you are sooo cuutteeee~~" When I let out a confirmation sound while moving my body in a cheerful manner. But it look like I got myself into quite a trouble here!! I was hugged into her embrace and shoved into her huge breast really tightly! What the hell, I can''t breathe! This is Hell! But it''s soft¡­ Still it''s hell!! I was struggling to release myself from her embrace while moving my hand frantically. With no other choice, I pushed my hands into her chest and grabbed her breast while trying to move my head upward. But that was actually another mistake¡­. Seeing my teary eyed and red face, made her got excited again! "Kyaaaa~~ Sooo Cuuuttee~~" "¡­..." I was kissed all over the place, her saliva flying here and there covered almost all of my face. Knowing that struggling and running away is useless, I just stood still and let her do as she please with me. Anyhow, she is the one who will clean me again after this, so why do I bother wasting my limited energy on her. After she was done kissing me, I was placed on her lap while hugging me from behind, and continued with her story. Her right hand is caressing my head gently as she sometime kissed the back of my head. But, i didn''t listen to her and just stared at the wall in a daze. It has been two year since I was born, and the time I met with my real parents could be counted using my finger. They were probably so busy that they forgot about me¡­ But mother seems to always looking at me with her magic or something, I know this because Mira mentioned this once, when she was telling me about my father and mother. My father name is Julius Merga Zaxvius, he is the fifth Emperor of Zaxvius after his deceased father, which is my grandfather. He died because of an incurable disease ot seems. Father has an image of a kind Nii-chan next door that is very handsome and cool. His body looked slim but the muscle on his body is quite something. Hhis feature is quite well chiseled, well he''s still 23 years old¡­ He has a gorgeous dark blue hair and a pair of glaring blood red eyes just like Alexius. If it''s not for his strong and gallant figure, he would be mistaken as a woman thanks to his snow white skin and beautiful face! If it were the me from Earth, I would have cursed this ikemen to go explode a thousand times over!! Well, this kind of handsome young man and is already a father is just too much for me¡­ Not to mention that he is an Emperor with a Goddess as a wife¡­ As for my mother, her name seems to be Theresa Ighlasia Minerva from house of Minerva and now a Zaxvius since she married father. Appearance-wise, she had a very flashy silver colored hair. Her eyes were like ruby gems. And her body is in the right place as it formed a S shaped line that would make any man to salivate! And lucky me, I was born from both of this god like people with a god like appearance! My hair is silver with a hint of dark blue. And my eyes is blood red the same color just like my father. Although I''m still a kid right now, I could guess how dangerous I would be in the future with my appearance alone. Thinking about them made me want to meet those two again. They were so drop dead gorgeous people that could put an idol group from Earth to shame! But different from father, my mother seems to be a cold and indifferent woman with her icy cold expression. I was quite scared when she carried me in her arms, her cold gaze made me trembled and peed myself¡­ That was really shameful of me. But after getting used to her, I realized that she is actually a kind and loving mother. "My prince, it''s time to drink your milk and go to bed. You need to sleep and grow up faster~~" "Yaaa~~" When I was deep in thought, I heard a gentle and loving voice of an angel from behind me. Ah, I forgot that it''s this time already, looking at the sun up high in the sky, I let out a sigh as Mira carried me to the crib. "Yaaa~~ milhks~~" "Yes~ its milk time my prince, you need to drink a lot and get big faster okay~~?" Mira give a bottle of milk to me with a gentle smile on her face. I have never seen her not smiling when she was with me, is this some kind of order from my mother?! I sometimes wondered things like that, after knowing that my mother in this world seems to be a good for nothing loving mother¡­ While thinking of that, I entered my afternoon sleep with a slight smile on my lips. Chapter 3: Three Year Old and Little Brother I know that even though mother rarely visited me, she has always been watching from somewhere using her magic. From one time when she visit me, I realized something different from her. It was her stomach, she always visited me at least once every week, unlike that stupid father who never came even once! There is a bulge on her stomach, although it''s still small, there certainly is a bulge in it. At first I thought that she got fat, but I throw away that thought as there is no way an Empress like her to be fat! Where is her image if she were to be fat?! Father would be losing his face then¡­ Joke aside, i realized that it must be a baby, she must be pregnant with my little brother or sister. And her visit has become quite frequent as of late. From once in a week to three times a week, she has always been playing with me, taught me words and show me a picture book. Her time visiting me keep increasing as the months pass by. It has been seven months since her frequent visit, and her stomach is already big enough to be noticed by others. I keep playing my part as a kid of course and ask her about almost everything. Gotta play my part right, I don''t want to be called strange or being possessed or something! Mother have been staying and sleeping with me for the past 2 months now. Probably going to stay that way until my little brother or sister is born¡­ Now I know something from my current mother in this world¡­ Ah, I probably should not call her that. Anyway, my mother expression is almost never changing, cold and look indifferent. But, that was not true at all, she has always smiled and act cutely just to see me laugh¡­. Imagine a drop dead gorgeous idol girl coming to you and act cute like a kid¡­ it almost gave me a heart attack¡­ That contrast between a cold and indifferent beauty with this cute and always smiling one is just too great of a different! And whats more, her trying to sound like a kid is a great shock to me too, just like now¡­ "Alee~~ Whahth ar chu dhoing~~?" "¡­..." This is madness¡­ I just can''t take it anymore!! I ignored her and keep playing with the picture book she brought for me. However, I underestimated her persistence!! Where is the cold and expressionless woman I met a while ago?!! Where did you hide her?!! Give my mother back you impostor!! Seeing her still trying to pester me, I pointed at the picture book to distract her from trying to carry me. "Maammaa~~ Cwordh!" "Hmm Yhes thaths a cwordh~~" What the hell!! Can you talk normally, you¡­ Kuuhh!! Not good, not good. I almost blew up my acting¡­ I stared at her ruby eyes while sucking my thumb. "Cwordh¡­ Whant!" "Oh no, no, no. You can''t have that! I won''t let you have it! That is dangerous for you my child." Huuuhh!?? What is this, did she just revert back to her cold and cool beauty mode just now? I see, I see¡­ Let''s test it out again! "Whant! Whant! Boooo" "... Who the hell buy this kind of book¡­ My precious child is tainted now¡­ I need to kill the bastard!" Aren''t you the one who bought it, mother¡­ Is not something I should say, or rather, I can''t say it!! And that language, it''s not something you should say it in front of a child! You tainted my innocent too, dear mother! I really want to retort to her, I really do, but I need to pretend for a bit more, next month is my 3 years old birthday, so I need a few more months to talk like this¡­ Although I can do it and act like a genius or something, but all I want is to be an ordinary guy in here. There''s no need to be something amazing, probably? Like, am I not the next Emperor?!If you come across this story on Amazon, be aware that it has been stolen from Royal Road. Please report it. What kind of ordinary is that¡­ But still, I don''t want to have all attention on me, I leave it to the me in the future to think about being an Emperor stuff. "Aleee~~ Look to the window, there is a dragon flying in the sky." When i was lost in thought while staring at the sword in the picture book, mother then snapped me out of my reverie while pointing toward the window. "Waaahh~~ Doragoonn~~ Doragoonn~~" "Heheh¡­ Good job Rudras!" I heard her mutter something, and Rudras? What''t that?! Food? Oh well whatever, but dragon really exist in this world huh. I was using a chair as a stool to stand and look over the window. The dragon is blue in color and look really like a lizard. Albeit with a horn and wings, even if it were far away in the sky, I still could see it clearly in here. It must have been a one hell of a big dragon there, like probably Elder Dragon? Hey mom tell me what kind of dragon it is?! I asked her jokingly inside my mind. Of course i stayed true to my act as a child and started to jump about on the chair while pointing to the dragon. "Uwaaahh~ Wanth Fhly thoo!! Maammaa." "You can ride when you are a bit older okay? That is a Dragon King Rudras, your father made him into his servant. So you can order him around when you are big enough to ride it. Fufufu.." Mother said with a happy expression. Her right hand put on her cheek and there is a beautiful smile on her lips. What!!?? Dragon King!?? Seriously?? are dragon in this world so weak to the point where it was so common to have a Dragon King as a servant?! My shock was well hidden, I have been training to hide my surprise and holding back my emotion to show on my face. My so called poker face as of right now is to act as cutely as possible¡­ Like that, we spent our time playing and me being spoiled by mother all the time. As time went on, Father sometimes come and see mother and me too, he visited once every week this time. When he visited me this time however, they were discussing about something with a serious expression. Their tone were filled with seriousness and a hint of shame could also be spotted if one were to listen properly. I heard that Urgan Kingdom is no more and what not¡­ I don''t want to hear it any further, so I distract myself by playing with a wooden block. Their talk is just too high for me, for someone who is from Earth, war and killing stuff is just too much. Although I killed myself once, it doesn''t mean I could kill others too. Time wait for no one, and its already my 3 years birthday, in this happy occasion, it was so rare that I could see both father and mother together with a smile on their face. They were holding a very big cake for me, they said that my birthday this time is a bit special, so they prepared a gift and many toys for me. Whenever father or mother are around, I could not see Mira in my room, but this time she is here too while holding a crystal like object, her angelic smile is really beautiful as always. Even though I''m a Prince, I don''t remember ever celebrating my birthday in a huge palace or something. I have been wondering over this for a while actually, like why they never throw a party for my birthday¡­ If it were in a movie I saw once in Earth, a prince birthday is so damn grand and full of people! But mine is just so plain and lonely, i even thought that I was probably forgotten¡­. But it''s looks like I was wrong. In here, at the age of 1 and 2 it is not important to celebrate the birthday, they only send gift or toys for the baby. And at the age of 3, 4 and 5, they hold a celebration being the 3 and 4 a private one and 5 the grandest and the most luxurious one. 5 years old is where the kid awakened their magic and potential or so i heard. My 3 years birthday is really a happy one, it was the first time I feel this way. Even the me from Earth is not as happy as I am today. "Happy birthday Alex~~ Here father have something good for you, look at this, a super rare Ardellin Necklace, it cost me a lot getting this. Hahahaha." Father said while holding a very cool looking Necklace on his hand. His face is full of pride and a silly yet bewitching grin plastered on his mouth. "Look at you, just because that witch is good at crafting, you requested something astronomical like that¡­ How wasteful! Here Alex, I made this glove for you. Although it''s not as good as your father''s gift but I worked hard making it." After berating father for a while with a strict tone, mother then showed me a pair of black glove with a gentle expression on her beautiful face. "My prince, my gift for you is this robe. I made this using my own Mana, so I am sure that it should be durable enough to hold an attack from a Dragon King. Please accept it." My Mira is still as gentle as always, even her present is about my wellbeing rather than anything. Although, all i see is nothing but a green crystal ball on her hands rather than a robe... Their gift is really cool looking! A necklace, a glove and a crystal that turned into a black robe the next moment i blinked my eyes. All of them with black in color and the necklace is in a shape of a dragon head! And Mira, didn''t you hold a crystal just now, where the hell did it go!? Don''t tell me that this robe is the crystal... Well whatever, for now i need to express my happiness! "Yaaayyy~~ Thank youuu, Mama, Papa, Miraa~~" I said my gratitude in a cheerful and happy tone as I jumped up and down while running here and there to hug them. We keep laughing and playing together until I got tired and fell asleep. This time, mother and father sleep together with me. It was the very first time I sleep with a complete family like this. While I get to experience the bliss of a normal family, a month finally pass by. It was the time for mother to give birth to my little brother or sister. By the time the baby was born, Mira brought me to see them. When I saw the baby, I was a little bit¡­ just a little bit disappointed. Well, the baby is actually a boy, when I was hoping for a girl¡­ "Alex, you are a big brother now, so please take good care of your little brother okay?" My mother smiled weakly at me while holding the baby in her embrace. All I can do is to stare at her with a smile on my face.... Hiding the sad feeling in the depth of my heart... Chapter 4: Elf and The Empress Before I know it, it''s already been seven months since my little brother ruined my life¡­ This hateful being, is really one hell of a killjoy¡­ Fortunately for me, I still have Mari all for myself. This beauty of an Elf is still faithfully staying by my side. That''s right, she''s actually an elf, I was wondering why an elf have a human ears when she told me about her being an elf, but that was actually an illusion she cast on herself. I was quite surprised when I found out about it. After all, I have been pestering her that I want to meet an elf, just so that I could look a bit annoying like a kid should. However, to think that she is an actual elf is not in my predictions. "Um¡­ Mmmm¡­ My prince, I would be troubled if you keep insisting, and moreover the Emperor is quite busy as of late so¡­" Mira said with a troubled expression. Her body was fidgeting the moment i started to pester her. However, i ignored her discomfort and keep shouting at her. "Nooo~~ want see Eeelllfff~~ want~~~ want~~~" "¡­. But you already met one my prince¡­." Said Mira while pointing at herself. "What?!" For god sake, she made me stunned for a second there, lucky that I was quite quick witted or else my fa?ade would have been blown just then! I made sure that my stunned look does not look serious at all and made it into one that of a child interested look. After seeing my expression, Mira then showed me her ears, it looked like any human ear until she brushed it with her hand and it become a long ears of an Elf that was said in the story. My eyes were so wide right now, I keep staring at her without blinking my eyes! What kind of sorcery is this?! Did she just deceive me using some kind of disguising magic?! Is that ears a decoration like the one from Earth?! "My Prince, see this? I am actually an Elf. But an Elf in this empire is not too well received, so I don''t have a choice but to disguise myself¡­ Furthermore, I am a slave of the Empress, so I need to watch my image when I raise you up¡­ "So I disguised myself into that of a human¡­ Well, not that you will understand, so I guess telling you this won''t be a problem." She smiled weakly at me while looking a bit sad. She must''ve thought that I was really an ordinary child with my great acting skill¡­ Forgive me Mira, I understand what you said just now, and seems like I can''t forget it in a while too. I tried my best to look confused and look at her strangely. But I keep touching her ears afterward with an excited look on my face. So Mira is an Elf slave¡­ Is she being forced to serve me too?! Does her kind and smiling expression just an act too!? I can''t help but to think of this. When i was lost in my thoughts, i didn''t realize that she is squirming her thigh like she is about to pee. With a nervous and raged breathe, she then told me with a low tone. "My Prince, I know that you are excited, but for us Elf, ears is a really sensitive part¡­ So please don''t play with it too much." "Noo~~ it good~~" Her red face told me everything about her ears being sensitive, but my desire of a 22 years old young man''s soul keep urging me to tease her! Ah~! What is this sense of happiness and warm feeling?! I feel I accomplished something I couldn''t do in my past life. "Mmnn... nnngghh... p-prince... aaahhnn~~" "¡­...." What was that?! Huh!? D-did¡­ Did she just jerked her body just now?! Huh!? Eh? I froze for a moment when I heard her moan and jerked her body backwards while trembling. Seeing that, how could I continue it?! My inner soul complexion must be pale right now¡­Ensure your favorite authors get the support they deserve. Read this novel on the original website. "It hurt? Mira~~" "N-no¡­ haa¡­ ha¡­ My Prince, it''s not hurt but¡­ I think it''s better if you stop it¡­" "Okaaayy~~" Perfect!! God please don''t let her notice that I was trembling right now!! I moved away from her with a dash toward the book case. I need to distract her! Let''s make her read me some story again! From the corner of my eyes, I could see her looking down with a red face and breathing roughly¡­ Her eyes look a bit dim and dazed as she stared into the floor. God what have I done?! Technically, I am still 3 years old in this world. So my action could be seen as a child curiosity... However, this guilty feeling is so heavy in my heart! I just played an Elf into an orgasm¡­ And as a child too¡­ This feeling of becoming a perverted child is¡­. I keep looking around at the book case acting as if I''m trying to find a book. But in truth I''ve been glancing at her trying to see if she were alright. There is a wet stain on the floor where she sat, I don''t know if that were¡­. Or just sweat. But I hope that she sweated a lot and I mistook it for something else! To think that an elf ears were so sensitive. I need to be careful from now on¡­ Not to mention I need to know her real age, she look like a 19 or 20 years old woman, but with her being an Elf¡­. That is rather questionable. Deep inside, I really have so many question I want to ask her but for now, I need to act and fix this awkward situation¡­ "Miraaa~~ Here here here~~ hurry~~" "A-ah¡­ Yes, please wait my Prince, i have to go change my clothes first. I sweated a lot just now ehehehe¡­" Hearing me start to pester her again, she then looked at me with a complicated expression, and it slowly turned into that of shame. Her face red, her eyes were glittering with guilt and joy(?), i could feel my heart beat when i saw her bewitching expression. "Nooo~~ hurryy~~~" She ignored me and rushed out of the room in a hurry¡­ Her face is so red that it could be mistaken as a tomato. Well, I could understand her though, after all, I wouldn''t want to play with a kid when my panty is wet¡­ I let out a sigh as I dazedly look at the door where she went out just now. With a shake of my head I started to renew my acting and letting out a dazzling and cute smile. But I forgot that mother is watching somewhere with her magic¡­. ............. This time too, I have been watching foolishly at my first child with a small smile on my lips. Even though I cannot be there for him, I at least should know what he is doing and watch him all the time. It was my duty as a mother to watch over her child. To tell the truth, I have been feeling a bit strange when I look at my first child, Alexius. He have always been obedient and never cried too much... He sometimes look at the sky over the windows with a dazed look as if he were watching something. I feel guilty that I cannot be at his side at all time as a mother, but this is something that must be done. With me and my husband hold a great power and responsibility, if we gave too much love for him, we fear that he would be spoiled! And beside, I still have to take care of our second child, it was all that man''s fault for saying that he want to drink milk all the time¡­ Good grief, I hope that Alexius and Val does not become like their father... Our second child name is Val Merga Zaxvius, born three years after Alexius and we hope that he could be a playmate for Alexius, but for now, we decide that it was not the time to put them in the same room, something about a caution and wat not... Me and my husband know that there are a lot of traitors in our ranks, but it is necessary to let them close so that we could track their movement. With that man''s skill and foolish behaviour, it should be easy for him to control them. Although, we feel a bit guilty for Alexius lonely live, so I asked Mira, my best friend and also my slave to take care of our first child. Mira is an Elf that have been together with me since I was a kid, at first she is not a slave but an ordinary adventurer. But because of her foolishness, she were tricked into becoming a slave! So I don''t have a choice but to beg Julius to buy her when she was sold in an auction... It was really quite shameful for me to beg¡­ But I don''t have a choice but to do so. Nevertheless, he is still my husband so begging him is still acceptable. Even right now, I am still watching both of my child using my magic . Although this magic is actually for killing and assassination, but using this to monitor my own child is no big deal. It enables me to watch them at a close proximity without them noticing. As long as the caster has a strong magical power, one will not be noticed when casting this skill. Although there is a counter for this skill, but it''s not like my child is a master at this kind of thing, so why do i have to care? When i was thinking about those thing, i keep my attention to watching them without losing any focus. Val is doing fine since he is taken care by our trusted maid. But Alexius is a bit problematic¡­ Why does he want to see an Elf?! Is an Elf really that great!? I can''t help but to pout at him, feeling distress that he was so interested to meet an elf rather than me... The magic could only look and not transmit the sound. But I still understand them by reading their lips movement, so I don''t have any problem understanding what they are saying. "Huh!? Alex! What are you doing!!!" I could not help but to scream out when I see what Alexius, my first child is doing to Mira right now! "What''s wrong Theresa? Did Ale do something?" "Ah¡­ Julius, I need to go see Alex for a moment!" At my sudden outburst, Julius asked me with a worried tone. I however don''t have the time to care about such thing! Honestly, we are in the middle of a meeting with the minister to discuss about the matter with the Urgan Kingdom. I ignored their strange gaze at me, but who cares?! They can all go to hell for all I care¡­ Ah, except for Julius of course! My title as a Demonic Empress is not just for show after all! I hurriedly got up from my seat and then rushed off toward the exit with a pale complexion. "Oh right¡­ Julius, if they keep resisting. Just destroy them all! I need to scold Alex for a moment! Well then, excuse me." "......" "......" "........" What''s with the silent?! Bastard, I''m going to give them a scolding after I''m done with Alex! I turned around in a hurry and then opened the door with so much force that the door cracked. Chapter 5: Peaceful Life and The Emperor I Alexius Merga Zaxvius, formerly a 19 years old young man Jun Arvin, is now being scolded and spanked by my mother¡­ The incident took place a while ago where i molested? the elfen maid Mira. In the first place, I didn''t even know that her ears were so sensitive! But regretting it right now is just a useless thing to do¡­ Pak! Pak! Pak! "Ith¡­ hic¡­ hurgth¡­ hic¡­ mama¡­" "Now you know pain huh!? How dare you do that kind of shameless thing, do you want to be like your father!? A perverted bastard!?" Her tone were filled with shame and anger as she hit my butt repeatedly. However, i was focused on her words for other reason. Eh?! My father¡­. Is a pervert!? That ikemen, is a pervert!? This¡­ this is big news god damn it!! Who would have thoughts that the Emperor is a pervert!! That pretty and handsome man is actually a pervert! His reputation as a ruler will be ruined!! Shit! I can''t let this be heard by anyone!! "U-uumm¡­ Theresa~ I¡­ I think that is enough - ? After all, he is still just a child." Said Mira with a nervous tone as she squirmed while looking down in shame. "Huh!? You want me to stop?! This is my damn child, like hell I''ll let him became a bastard! I need to give him my love so that he will understand!!" Love my ass!! Damn it, my ass is as red as a monkey butt!! And you know what?! I don''t even know that she become so horny just because I play with her ears!! It''s not my fault, I am innocent! To tell the truth, acting crying is hard to do¡­ I have to remember my painful memory back on Earth just to let out my tears¡­ So I just don''t want to cry a lot, since it hurt both my heart and my mind¡­ "Alex! Listen to me! You can''t play Mira''s ears ever again! Understand? U.N.D.E.R.S.T.A.N.D!??" "Yesh¡­ hic¡­" ¡­. Of course I''m not going to play with her ears ever again! I fear my act will get blown if I do that!If you stumble upon this narrative on Amazon, be aware that it has been stolen from Royal Road. Please report it. But poking is not a problem right?! Right?! After all, I''m still a kid!! She has been spanking my butt for almost an hour already. My butt is really hurting a lot right now! Although her spanking could be considered gentle, but the thousand times she did it made it hurt a lot! One or two time is fine! But a thousand times is just too much don''t you think!? When mother still look at me with a cold and scary expression, the door to my room where opened with a strong force that a loud banging sound resounded. Bang! "Alex! Theresa - ! Eh¡­??? What''s going on here?!" It was my¡­ Perverted? Father that opened the door, there could be seen a tinge of worry and dumbfounded expression on his face as he stared at me, mother and Mira. "Julius, This child is playing with Mira''s ears, so I need to punish him for what he has done!" "Uh¡­ Why do you need to punish him?! He''s just a kid Theresa¡­" "Shut your mouth! Do you think, I will let my child be like you?!" "......." Father''s face was red from embarrassment, he was looking to the side as if he were avoiding mother''s gaze. So it was true¡­ You bastard ikemen! To think that you were such a perverted bastard!! I curse you¡­. I take that back¡­ You are, without a doubt my father, so it would be bad if something bad happened. My peaceful live is at risk here! Well let me take note that I cannot play with Mira''s ears again after this. Moreover, I need to focus my mind into considering my future from now on. With this incident, mother decided to visit me every day from tomorrow onward. I was a bit happy that my beautiful and sexy mother going to play with me again, but she probably won''t be staying for long anyway. With my little brother existence, she will have to visit him too¡­ After playing for a while, father then left with a silly laugh, but mother was looking at him with a worried expression on her face. I don''t know what is going on, but I hope that he stay strong and always return victorious. He is able to tame a Dragon King after all, so I put a lot of trust in you, Father! ............ (POV Change) "Your majesty, how is the first prince? Is he all right?" "Oh¡­ yeah, he''s okay I guess? Theresa spanked his butt¡­. Now it looked like a monkey butt, it was seriously hilarious hahaha." The prime minister asking about Alex condition is normal, his expression is normal too. But I could feel a bit of a malicious intention from this bastard! I don''t know what you''re planning Klaus, but I will not permit you to ruin my family! Even though I was laughing with a stupid expression right now. Deep inside, I was wary of this scheming bastard in front of me. Klaus Indra, this bastard is a spy from Ivadish Empire. He think that I didn''t know about his dealing with those rotten bugs, it''s true that I just found out about it just recently but¡­ My wrath is not that easy to quell Klaus! All I need to do is just to squash those bugs from Ivadish and made that worm of an Emperor to regret for stepping their foot in my territory! Now that I have two sons, I can be as wild as I want and rampage around to my heart content! "Oh right Klaus! Can you go to Shalia place and get her to see me? I need to discuss about something and seeing that you''re rather free anyway and it''s been a long time since I order you around too Hahahahaha~" "¡­. Haahh¡­ Your Majesty your really are a slave driver, aren''t you? But fine, I''ll go get her so please wait in the throne room for a while." "Good good good. Hahaha~" I did not want to talk to him any longer since I still have to go see my second child right now. I''m going to let those two wait for me in that place on their own Hahahaha~~! With a light foot step, I walked toward Val''s room with a cheerful mood. I was thinking that, maybe a little bit tension in the palace could be good too! Chapter 6: The Genius Princess It has been 1 year since I can think clearly and understand what the adults are talking about. At first I was bewildered, but as I got used to it, I realise that I was the so called genius. My name is Lili Veron K Zaranex, I am the second daughter of King Xivel Veron K Zaranex. I have always been told that I was quite mature for a child, but today, I finally understand what is going on. It seems that I have been using my Mana, to enhance my brain unconsciously since the moment I was born. I don''t know about it until a Great Sage came to examine me at the request of my father. It happened two hours ago, when I awakened my Magic and Potential. The sage said that I was blessed with a limitless Mana reserve and was loved by Mana. I call that bullshit however, i of course didn''t let it out of my mind. My body is filled with Mana and almost look like my body is Mana itself, or so the sage said. However, my father''s and mother''s expression was filled with gloominess, I don''t know what they''re thinking but I know that they are not happy about my condition. Even though today is my 5 years old birthday where everyone should be happy, they have a gloomy and grave expression. Today is supposed to be my first time introduced to the society, and it should be the day I get to know others. But my feeling right know is as dark and bleak like a dead fish. I don''t know what a dead fish looks like, but I read in a book once that my current situation is like that of a dead fish. That being the chase, I was brought to the changing room by the maid while father, mother and the sage go somewhere else leaving me behind. Seeing that it was rather awkward, i decide that it was best to start a conversation with her. "Hey, do you think mother and father going to hate me now?" "Ah¡­ Umm.. O-of course not princess, they will never hate you." "Hmm¡­" The maid gave an awkward and stiff smile as she replied to me. My current expression is that of a calm and expressionless one, I don''t know what is going to happen to me from now on, but I have a feeling that it''s going to be bad for me. In just this short time of one year, I could understand human nature quite well that it scares me. Thinking that I''m still 5 years old kid that should know nothing about the world, my circumstance is too scary for me to think further than this! This is not my choice to be like this you know! I don''t even know that I have this kind of curse of a body! Although I was screaming and feeling down thinking about my future from now on. I did not let out a single ripple on my expressionless face. I keep standing still as I was guided by the maid to change my dress for the party. When I was in a daze thinking about my future, the door was opened by someone. So I turned my head to see who it was that opened it, seeing that it was mother, i let out a small smile on my cute lips to reassure her. "Ah Mother, you are here!? What happened to father and the sage?" "Lili, you don''t need to force yourself to smile like that. I already know what you''re thinking on your head right now¡­" It looks like my fake smile has been seen through by her, but her expression was very gentle as she stared at my eyes without blinking. After the maid''s done changing my dress for the party, she then bowed and then quietly left the room. i did not move my gaze and keep staring at mother with a downcast expression. "¡­. Mother¡­. What should I do?" "¡­..." Hearing my question, she did not replay to me but moved her body closer and hugged me really tightly. My expression right now must be really sad and gloomy for her to hug me like this. "Don''t worry Lili, mother will not let you be used by others. And I''m sure that your father will not permit it either! So don''t worry, okay?!" "Mmnn¡­" No matter how you say it mother, the thing that has been heard by the maids and that sage will be spread outside! Even if you and father try to hide it, with me being like this, they will notice there is something strange about me¡­ But if I said it then I''m sure that mother will be very sad and very distressed! When I tried to hug mother back, I heard a heavy and hurried footstep from outside. The footstep seems to be coming toward this room, so I''m sure that it was father. Before long, the door was opened with a strong force and father came in with a grave expression. *Bang!* "¡­. I am sorry Lili¡­ Your father is incompetent¡­ But don''t worry, next month is the birthday of Emperor Julius first son, we can ask the Emperor to protect you!" "¡­ Will the Emperor help us, Xivel?" While father was looking frantic and disappointed, mother asked him with a worried tone and sad expression. "To tell you the truth¡­ I don''t know. But I will make sure that he protect Lili. So don''t worry Iralia, I will do everything I can!" Unauthorized reproduction: this story has been taken without approval. Report sightings. At father''s reply mother looked at him with a distressed look, while he is looking at me with a very serious expression that it scared me a little. Speaking about the Emperor, i suddenly remember about his first child, the first Prince of the Empire, Alexius Merga Zaxvius, I have not heard anything about him except from his name though. It would be a lie if I say that I''m not curios about this mysterious prince. Usually for every big empires and kingdoms, it was very hard to hide the existence of the prince in such secret like that! Even for me who has never gone outside of my room, however, all of my information has been spread outside and I was left with no privacy at all.... It was the same for every Kingdoms and Empires, the life of the Princes and princesses were known by every factions. So it was a bit strange that there is no leak about this kid! I was a bit frustrated¡­ No¡­ I am frustrated! It''s not fair at all! While thinking about that mysterious prince, mother carried me into her embrace while kissing me on the cheek¡­ Mother please stop doing this kind of stuff, I am not a child anymore you know! I''m now 5 years old already! I forgot that 5 is still nothing but a child.... curse this extra knowledge in my brain!! "Don''t worry Lili, mother will always be by your side during this party!" "That''s right Iralia, don''t leave her side no matter what! However, I really hope that the Emperor or the Empress could attend the party¡­" I know that I shouldn''t say this but¡­ Mother you are too close!! And father, can you not look like a despaired wretched old man¡­ It''s disgusting¡­ *********** Meanwhile, inside a castle in the spacious and luxurious hall, there is a man with a scar on his face that is looking at the person bellow him with a sneer on his face. He was sitting in a scary looking chair that looks like a throne and there is a dragon head on both of the armrests. The throne looked quite intimidating with its black and red color, especially the black dragon head on the armrests. He looked like a 50 or so years man, but with his fit and muscular body, he looked like he is still in his 40. "Is what you said true?! That wimp''s child the second princess is actually such a treasure!?" The scarred old man said with a deep and hoarse voice. He glared at the man kneeling below him while tightening his grip on the armrests. The man kneeling on the ground trembled a little when he heard the scarred old man''s deep and hoarse voice. Without raising his head, the kneeling man then said with a firm tone. "I did not dare to lie, Master." "Heh¡­ Hahahaha¡­ What are you waiting for?! Hurry and get that little brat here!" The scarred old man shouted with anger at the kneeling man. "¡­. It would not be possible¡­." Said the kneeling man with a firm tone. No one know how his expression looked as of right now. After saying that the kneeling man then disappeared like a smoke, leaving the scarred old man alone in the spacious and luxurious hall by himself. Seeing that the man who is kneeling disappeared, the old man was at first stunned, then his face turned green, and from green to red, it was like his head was about to explode from anger. He then stood up and then the scarred old man shouted while letting out a frightening blue aura around his body. "YOU LITTLE BASTARD!!!" His angry shout however was not heard by anyone but himself. .... "Hey, hey, hey. Do you know that today is little Xiv second princess birthday right, Theresa? Wanna go there and have a look? I heard that the child is quite interesting." "Sure, I''ll go take a look. Oh, and I want to take Alex with me, is that okay?" I have been used to seeing this bastard loose expression, he was cool if he stayed silent, but when he opened his mouth¡­ He is like a shit playboy wanting to flirt! But I cannot deny that I fell for this bastard''s charm¡­ I wonder what kind of magic did he use to make me madly in love with him. "¡­. I don''t mind, but I will have to go with you too. If my prediction is correct then that old man will be there too. It''s fine if you go alone, but it would be quite problematic if Alex came with you." "Hoho~ It was rare to see you look so serious like this~~ But I was a bit hurt, why I would be fine if I go alone? Don''t you feel worried about me at all?!" It was indeed rare to see him look serious like this and I was really happy to see it¡­ But his words displeased me, so I gave him a pout while narrowing my eyes. "Hmm~~ Whaatt is thiisss~~ My lovely Theresa is pouting! You should do this often, you look so damn cute right now!! Hahaha." "... You really love to get beaten huh, Julius! You should have said it if you want to be trashed by me. I would gladly accompany you no matter how long it is you know~~" "..." Oohh, his stiff smile is really interesting to see no matter how many times I see it. I gave him a sweet and lovely smile in return. Chapter 7: Meeting and The Prince of Death (1) This time, I was told that I''m going to go outside for the first time after I was born in this world. It seems I''m going to be brought to a princess''s 5 years old birthday party. She seems to be the second princess of Zaranex Kingdom and was one of father''s loyal supporters. Next month is also my 5 years old birthday too, so I was a bit excited about this. This world has 12 months and 7 days, it was the same like in earth but only the name of the month is different. The first month name is Ragus and then followed with, Terata, Irglas, God, Devil, Apolos, Winder, Haureim, Volask, Ret, Qirio, and lastly Jothun. I was born in the month of the Devil, and today is the month of the God, so this princess from Zaranex is a month older than me. The date I was born is 14 of the Devil''s month. Although I have become 5 years old, I still need to act like a 5 years old kid should. Sometime I think that living like this is great too. Doing nothing but playing and sleeping is so great that my NEET soul is screaming at me saying that it was awesome. The life of a rich and powerful is so damn comfortable that I started to feel sad. It was like my struggle back on earth is nothing but a part of someone else problem. My life in here is so happy and comfortable that I almost forgot the memories from earth. The pain, sadness, furry, rage and hate that I have been feeling back then have all now turned into nothing but a part of my memory¡­ My broken and wounded heart is now filled with bliss and happiness, I already forgot about the matter back on earth. I have a wonderful parents in here, and I hope that my little brother will not be a bastard like my previous one. Not that i have ever met with this supposed to be little brother for a long time. Since the moment he was born, i have never even once met with him again. I don''t even know how is he or is he even all right at all.... Anyway, I am now dressed in all black and wearimg a long black coat that reached my feet. Although it was all black, there is some gold and dark purple colored decoration that looked like some kind of symbol on the back and around my chest area. Now that I look into the mirror, my inner chunibyo is triggered and I unconsciously moved my right hand to my face and made an evil sneer. "Hehehehe~" "My~~ Prince Alex, you are really cu-cool!!" I froze in place¡­ I don''t dare to make another move, i completely forgot that Mira is beside me! She was about to say cute there! I heard it clearly god damn it, she was about to say cute just now! Even though my heart is bleeding due to shame right now, I still cannot show it on my face! After all, I am indeed a kid right now! There is nothing strange, there is nothing to be ashamed about! With a turn of my body, i hugged her with a cute expression... Well, as cute as i could made it to be... "Hehehe~ Mira I love you~~" "Oh my, my little prince has grown up¡­ *sob*¡­ *sob*¡­ Please don''t leave me okay, my little prince." You know what, you might fool a kid but¡­ Your expression is that of a stupid and idiotic shota-con¡­ and that fake *sob* is just too ridiculous, you should go and practice more Mira. But I have to admit that this elf is just too damn adorable, no matter how much she tried to act stupid, her charm is always there! Not to mention that her boobs is huge too, I have enjoyed it for the past 5 years of my life in this world. But the regrettable thing is that, I did nothing to it except for her pushing to my face herself. It was seriously soft, fluffy and smell good. But¡­ I don''t feel anything but a feeling of happiness! This story has been unlawfully obtained without the author''s consent. Report any appearances on Amazon. There is no fucking lust at all! What do you expect from a fucking child!! Damn it, I feel accomplished but empty inside¡­ She must be wondering why I keep staring at her without saying anything. But this time, I feel tired of acting and wanted to stay silent for a while¡­ Seriously, I will think of something later so for now, I ignored her and walked toward the door by myself. But I know that this is going to be troublesome, so I turned my body slowly and look at her bewildered expression with a weak smile on my face. "Ah¡­ Mira, I feel tired for some reason¡­ Can you carry me to see father and mother?!" "What!? Are you alright Alex!?" "¡­.Mmm¡­ Don''t know¡­" I can see that Mira is frowning while looking at me, her expression is that of a worried mother. Well it would be strange if she didn''t feel that way, technically she is the one who raised me all this time after all. After knowing that she is mother''s best friend I feel much more at east, but for now, I just don''t want to talk much. I feel a bit strange, just a moment ago I was full of energy, but as of right now my motivation and energy is so low that I don''t want to do anything at all. This mood swing is my old illness from back when I was still on earth¡­ It must be because I recalled about my past a while ago¡­ and the lack of a very important desire... Seeing that I was looking gloomier and down, Mira then carried me and then for the first time in my life in this world, I stepped outside from my room¡­ Well rather than stepped outside, it was more like being carried.... But no matter, it was the same thing, so who cares? I have to say that the moment I look into the hall way, I was surprised at how luxurious it looked. The red fur like carpet looked so soft and comfortable, there is also a lot of painting and cool looking decoration, the blue crystal lamp that was hung on the wall is shining with a gentle light. All of it is screaming Fantasy like setting! Or rather, this is indeed a Fantasy like world where magic exist. But with my current mood, I don''t feel like hyped at all, so I stayed quiet while looking around. Mira was half-running while carrying me, even though she looked slim and fragile, her body is brimming with power. She even made me a robe that could defend against a dragon king''s attack¡­ I don''t know about the power system in this world but, a being that was called a dragon king must not be something weak right? However no matter how hard I tried to think about something else and improve my mood, my lack of interest is just at max and refused to go down. Even though this is the first time I got to go outside¡­ I feel a bit regretful, just what''s going on?? I should be feeling happy right now!! Mira was unusually quiet the whole time. She must be bewildered as to why I became quiet and looked so gloomy. When Mira was carrying me, I got to see many Fantasy like items and decorations on the way. The maids and servants in here is just too damn gorgeous and handsome too¡­. There is a knight wearing a silver armour, and there is also peoples that wear robe, and unlike the knight silver armor the peoples that wear robe have many color that different from each other. It must be the different in their elements, I have read many novels and watch many anime about this kind of things. They must be the so called Mage, Sorcerer or Wizard right?! I have been looking around for a while now, and they too are looking at me with a strange gaze¡­ This feeling of being watched like a rare animal is a first even for me¡­ Chapter 8: Meeting and The Prince of Death (2) We finally arrived in a spacious and grand place that was supported by a few pillars. It looked so luxurious that all of it reminds me that I was in another world.... There''s a unique statue that has a head of a dragon but the body look likes that of an eagle on each pillars. There are a total of 9 pillar in this big hall, so it must be some kind of formation right? As expected of another world! After seeing the statue of a strange creature, I could see that there is a lot of painting that have a strange magic circle in it. But I was more surprised at the painting at the very end corner of the hall, it was a painting of a nude woman that was holding a severed Pe***¡­ It was a bloody scene¡­. My gloomy and dark mood was blown away after looking at it¡­ This kind of thing is just too shocking for my brain to process¡­ However, I can''t move my gaze away from it no matter what I do! This is strange, not only I can''t move my sight away from it, I can feel a heavy and dense killing intent sprouted from deep inside me¡­ It was as though the deep resentment and hatred from my past life was awakened again. The feeling keep getting stronger and stronger and my breathing became rough and heavy. But I tried to endure it and hide my chaotic breathing with an expressionless face. This kind of thing, I have experienced bursting my lung before, so this is nothing compared to that. "Haa¡­ it hurt¡­" Even though I can endure it, the thing that hurt is still hurt, moreover the suffocating feeling is not only on my body, even my soul feel a bit sluggish and it was as if I''m going to be brought to that white and empty room again¡­ However, I cannot show it on my face, so I only let out a sigh and mumbled under my breath. But suddenly, there is a cold and soft hand closed my eyes, and then I could hear a cold and yet calming voice of mother coming from the front. "What are you looking at, little pervert! And JULIUS!! How many times do I have to tell you to burn that damnable shit!!??" "¡­. Why me¡­ you are the one who put it there¡­ but you are really beautiful, my wife~~" Although mother sounded calm when she was addressing me, but her tone suddenly changed into that of a furious tigress having her cub killed! What is it father, I could not hear what you are saying¡­ Don''t just mumble and say it with dignity! Anyway, what happened just know?! Can someone please explain to this prince what the hell is going on!? "Mama, what happened?" "Aaahh¡­ It''s nothing¡­ Mira take him to Julius, and cover his eyes! I''m going to burn that damned painting." "Ah¡­ Yes, master please be careful, I heard that it was painted by Witch Irevas? It should not be something simple but -!" "First thing first, don''t call me master! And who do you think I am?! I''m not that weak of a woman to lose to that bitch!!" Uwaahh, it was the first time I heard mother and Mira talking outside of my room but¡­ It looks like I was right, Mira have to be formal when she speak with mother. But man, I heard about witch this and witch that all the time! Is a witch really that dangerous and common in this world? If it''s true then I''m going to train like crazy and make all the witch my woman¡­ I wonder how mother and father would react if I do that¡­ will they faint? This story has been taken without authorization. Report any sightings. While thinking about that, I was brought to father by Mira, mother''s figure was nowhere to be seen, she must be burning that dirty painting somewhere. I was placed in father''s lap while looking around the place. It was a bit lonely because there is no one in here except for father and Mira, I wonder why though? Is it because of me coming, or is there other reason? I read in a lot of novels that there are at least two or three servant around. But isn''t this too empty?! when i was looking around while avoiding where mother is, father asked me with a sad expression on his face. "Are you done looking around Alex? I heard that you are not looking good? I wonder what happened? You are always smiling, so seeing you not smiling like this make father a bit sad~" "Uumm¡­ where are we going papa? I don''t feel like going, I want to sleepppp and then play with Mira all day¡­" I answered him with a lazy tone, seeing that his sad expression were replaced by a gentle expression, i know that he must be very concerned about me. "Nope, you have to go with us today no matter what! And beside it is time for you to get out of that tiny room and see the world. Your birthday is next month anyway, so making you get used to it first is necessary." "¡­ Okay." I replied while looking down, I know that it was time for me to quit being a hikikomori, but you know what, I just don''t feel hyped at all!! And that painting just made me more depressed!! Can you say something Miraaaa, tell this father of mine to let me play with you all day damn it!! "What''s wrong Alex?! Why are you so gloomy, you have finally able to go outside you know, you always told me that you want to go outside to play¡­. Don''t tell me, are you sick?! Are you hurt anywhere?! Come to mother, let me see you closely!" A sudden worried voice came like a machine gun without stopping, her gentle words were in contrast with her cold and expressionless face. I can see that on Mira''s and father''s forehead, there is a bead of cold sweat flowed out from their body¡­ "It must be that painting right!? Come, come, let mother check your body, this kind of thing must be checked immediately or -!" "Calm down Theresa, I have checked it, he is fine¡­" Father then interrupt her with a gentle smile on his face, he looked at mother like he was falling in love with all over again... Knowing that it was hopeless for him, i just stayed silent and watch in the sideline... i guess i should say in the middle? well whatever... "What fine, you bastard! If there is some bug that stick to our precious child what am I going to do, huh!? You have to check it again to be sure, look at him, he is looking so depressed!!" "¡­....." Well, this is nothing new to me¡­ Father is waving both of his hand upward¡­ he gave up, he''s so damn easy to give up¡­ And your face! Stop grinning like you just got praised, you bastard!! Even I, your child, want to bash that face of yours!! Lucky for me that I still have a gentle and angel like Mira on my side. I glanced toward my right where Mira is standing, to my surprise, Mira is smiling, but the cold sweat and the twitch on her mouth indicated that she is annoyed¡­ I let out a sigh under my breath with a wry smile on my face... Chapter 9: Meeting and The Prince of Death (3) The sky is always blue no matter which world I am in, but today is just dark and gloomy for me. Remembering my past life is just too much for me to bear¡­ Family¡­ Friends¡­ Will I be abandoned again in this world? I don''t want this warmth that I have experienced to disappear like a smoke¡­ again! For I have no intention to let it go! Thinking like that, I peered toward the windows in the carriage, I keep gazing at the white cloud in the sky as if I was in a daze. The inside of the carriage is big and luxurious, it was expected for a royal family, but I have to say it was awesome! There is no shaking throughout the journey, it was as if we are not moving at all. Also, even though the carriage looked medium sized from the outside, the inside were as big as my room back the castle. I was honestly surprised, to think that it was the so called ''Space Magic'' of the legend! Or not¡­ Well uh, it seems it was a common thing in this world¡­ I''m sorry that I was such a country bumpkin!! For heaven sake, it was the first time, I¡­ this lord, experienced this kind of thing! Although I saw many interesting magic being together with Mira and Mother all the time. Space magic is still the best after all! Just imagining what kind of awesome thing I could do with it, make me droll with expectation. When I was spacing out while staring at the sky, I was suddenly jolted by a gentle and caring voice from beside me. "What are you looking at, my prince, Alex~~" "Huh!? Oh¡­ it''s nothing, I was just remembering your scary face a while ago¡­." "Pfftt-!!" "Haha¡­" I can hear a both my father and mother were trying hard to hold their laughter from bursting out. They were avoiding gaze with Mira, but their shaking shoulders were proof enough that they were laughing. Mira is blushing from embarrassment and is hiding her face with both of her hands. ..... It has been quite a while since they keep arguing back and forth like this now! I''ve became really fed up seeing and listening this two stupid couples in front of me¡­ One is angry and the other one is listening with a delighted expression¡­ Look! Even my dear Alex is troubled by this two morons!! "You bastard! Do you even realize how dire the situation is?! I have always told you not to buy shit stuff from those bitches!!" "Huuuhh~~~It should not be a problem though?! I have checked it over and over again after all~~" "YOU - !!" "ENOUGH!! CAN YOU TWO STOP THIS STUPID LOVER SPAT!!! WE NEED TO GET GOING ALREADY!!!" "...." With my furious heart, I unintentionally shouted at the two of them¡­ I¡­ I shouted¡­ to the EMPEROR AND THE EMPRESS!!! What have I done!! I know that with me being friend with the two of them since way back, they''re not going to mind. However, my conduct is nevertheless rude and it would cost me my life if I''m not that close to them¡­ Even Alex is opening his mouth so wide that an egg could fit in them. His expression is that of shock, but the look of depression on his face was replaced by that of a curiosity. When I saw that he started to feel better because of me, I don''t care anymore what happened just now! This cute little angel is my best friend child but, I am the one who have been staying by his side all the time. So to me, he is no different than my own child. My flesh and blood that I have raised since a baby. However, that curiosity lasted only but a moment. It was as if he remembered something again and his mood became down again. I keep wondering what happened, but I don''t want to ask about it¡­ Even though they wouldn''t mind me being a bit rude and act like I usually do before becoming a slave. But me being a slave is my own mistake and, I need to mind my behavior and conduct as a slave should. No matter what, I still have my pride and I don''t want to cause trouble to this kind peoples that saved me! Although I keep acting my part as a slave, they never treated me as one. They have always treated me with kindness and care. I know that they have always been cold and a bit of a bastard to other servant¡­ But to me, they keep their attitude the same like that time when we were out adventuring together. Honestly, I have always been a target of jealousy to the other servants in the castle. But still, the scene in front of me is a bit disturbing, why are they looking at me as if I''m some kind of rare animal¡­ I cleared my throat with a cough and then make a serious expression with a sweet smile on my mouth. "Can we get going already? My dear prince is impatient and looking a bit gloomy because of your stupid banter¡­ Oh right, please forget what happened a moment ago, I seems to lose my cool for a moment there, my dear masters!" This tale has been unlawfully lifted without the author''s consent. Report any appearances on Amazon. "¡­.. Alright, let''s get going then, go and prepare the carriage Mira." "Right right, we need to hurry on the way, the party should be starting now!" "Right away." Seeing them looking awkward and trying hard to hide their bashfulness made the corner of my lips raised up naturally. I wanted to add more a piece of my mind but, I need to make haste or my beloved prince is going to be late to his first party. So I hurriedly run out to prepare the carriage with haste. ..... "¡­. It''s crowded¡­" The words that I uttered is nothing but a complain, indeed, I am complaining that there is a lot of people in here!! I know that it was a party, so it should be normal for peoples to be here. But no, I don''t like this at all!! Just look how they are looking at me!! The information about my heaven defying constitution must''ve been spread to these peoples!! Hmph! Do you think I''m an ordinary child!? Dream on! I will never let you bastard control me! "Oh my~~ Is this the second princess? How cute she is, her name is Lili Veron I presume?" An old man with graceful appearance greeted me and my mother with a calm and gentle expression. What are you looking at, you old pervert?! Haven''t seen a beauty before?! You damn lolicon!! "Yes indeed, she is my proud second daughter, Lili Veron K Zaranex, she is our most precious child! Come here Lili, greet this GRANDPA over here." "Ah¡­ Hello¡­" "Hahaha¡­ Do forgive me young child, I haven''t introduced myself yet. My name is Odepile Rugrus Jilian, I am nothing but a mere merchant~~" Wh-what a cheerful old man!! And Odepile? Why not name yourself Pedophile you bastard!! Although his expression looked gentle and friendly, but his eyes told otherwise. His eyes keep checking me out every now and then. Is this old man sane?! A mere merchant dare to do this!? And in front of mother nonetheless, he must be some big shot with a sick hobbies!! "Mind your eyes Ode! My fingers might slip and gouge that eyes of yours!" "Bwahahaha!! How scary~~" L-look!! Even with mother''s threat, he just dish it as if it was fart!! And the other just looking this way with a ''I am listening look'' how awful!! Is this how the outside world truly looks like!? So disgusting?! So repulsive?! Or maybe, this is how an aristocrats lives is? Haha¡­ This must be some kind of a joke right?! "This little toy sure is interesting!! Oy Iralia, give this little toy to me! I''ll stop the Barges Invasion if you give her to me, how''s that?!" "¡­...." Mo-mother?! She look a bit pale when she saw this old man with a scar on his face. He looked so fierce with his fit and burly body. He wear a black noble clothing with a sword on his hip! Although his attire is not that grand, but his bearing and the sword on his hip made him quite scary! The sword on his hip is quite long and looked like a sword for decoration. But I can feel a deadly and deathly aura coming from it! "Huuhh!! Why are you silent!!? Can you speak, huh!?" When he shouted, the place was drowned with a complete silent. The other nobles and aristocrats keep glancing our ways with a worried looks on their face. Some of them even gave the scarred old man a resentful look. "Now now, why don''t we drink and chat over there Zaraguz? It has been a long time since we last saw each other. Hahaha~~" "SHUT UP!! Don''t interrupt me when I''m talking Old Fox, I''ll kill you!!" The gentle looking old man tried to smooth things over but, this bastard gorilla is just so damn overbearing! Even the gentle looking old man expression now turned sour and dark. It was as though he''s going to spit venom anytime¡­ Bang! "Iyaahh~~ I''m sorry that I''m late guys~~ Where''s the cute little princess? Uncle is here with a gift~~" "Mind your behavior bastard!!" A loud bang of a door being slammed open and a playful and cold voice of a man and women resounded in the quiet hall. "Huuhh~~ Why are you guys so quiet, is there some kind of event going on right now??" "Tsk¡­ Can your dog eyes see that there is an animal in here?! It''s no wonder the place is so silent. Oy, you gorilla over there, can you roll out and go back to whence you came from!? Your presence is not welcome here, ANIMAL!" The handsome blue haired man''s playful and loose face is so carefree that he looked at ease in the awkward atmosphere. While the cold and indifferent woman was looking at the burly old man with displeasure. It was as if she were looking at a garbage on the street. Her silver hair and ruby eyes made her really look like a goddess that has descended upon the world. She was embracing a child with a silver hair with a hint of blue in it. He was around my age, although he seemed a bit gloomy, he was still handsome and his cold blood red eyes were looking at the scarred old man with contempt. Chapter 10: Meeting and The Prince of Death (4) Along the way, I have been looking around here and there from the carriage window. From what I have seen so far, this world is in a mediaeval state. But with the existence of magic, I am sure that there are a lot of unusual mechanism and technology in here. Well, it was much better than having pollution in the air. But still, having magic is really convenient, huh¡­ And the world is not going to be polluted like on earth¡­ Such being the case, I still cannot use magic at all, so I am feeling a bit conflicted. The kingdom of Zaranex is a bit different from our Empire, this place is a bit pale compared to how grand the Empire is. I still could see a rundown buildings here and there, or maybe this is a slum area? Well I don''t know¡­ But as we go on, the buildings got better and more like a mansion than a normal house. So we are probably in the nobles and aristocrats area? Well I don''t plan to ask about it, so I just keep glancing here and there. Throughout the journey, I don''t see any strange thing or something that I should take note of, so it was pretty boring¡­ It takes around 20 minutes from the Empire to this Kingdom, it''s probably not too far away, right? But it looks like I was being such a country bumpkin again¡­ We have been teleported to the Zaranex border using something warp¡­ and so that''s how we arrived so fast¡­ Plus with time acceleration and distance shrinking magic, and wat not¡­ I don''t understand any of it!! From my perspective as a person from a modern era, this kind of hocus bogus is just too FANTASY!!! True that I have been interested in the so called Magic, as it was not something I see often in this world too, much less when I am on Earth. Anyway, I have been side tracked, we have arrived and there is a servant that is guiding us to the party hall. The castle is located in the center of the Kingdom, it looked quite domineering from my perspective, there are quite a lot of look out post and there are soldier here and there patrolling. Well I was being carried by mother and father is looking as carefree as ever, so I don''t feel too much pressure. As we are walking and being guided toward a big and beautiful double door, I heard an angry shout from inside the room. I don''t know why but I feel a shudder just from hearing that angry shout. Mother''s and father''s face became serious when they hear that angry shout. It probably came from some big shot, right? I don''t hear it clearly but, the man from inside the room said something about stopping invasion!? Probably, it''s about war and stuff that I don''t have any interest. "Heh, how bold of him to ask the queen to give him the little princess¡­" "An animal is still animal after all!" Their indifferent tone and mocking expression is still beautiful¡­ As expected from a pair of a drop dead ikemen and bishoujo¡­ But still, so there''s a pervert who want to take the 5 year old princess, huh? What a heavy taste! Damn, even in this world, lolicon is still exist huh¡­ From the voice, he should be some kind of old man in his 50 or something. Talk about heavy taste, what a repulsive hobby he got¡­ Father then let out a smirk as he walked toward the door faster. He then pushed the door so hard that a loud bang could heard. It was as though he was kicking the door rather than opening it. Is he some kind of delinquent?? I hardly believe that this kind of person is an Emperor¡­ The previous Emperor must be wrong in the head too... "Iyaahh~~ I''m sorry that I''m late guys~~ Where''s the cute little princess? Uncle is here with a gift~~" This book is hosted on another platform. Read the official version and support the author''s work. "Mind your behavior bastard!!" That''s right mama, tell him more! This guy is too thick skinned and his expression is too loose!! When I looked toward the front, I can see a burly and muscular old man in his 40? Standing before a 5 year old cute child with a domineering and deadly aura around him. There is a big scar on his rough and aged face. This old dude is the one who want to take the little princess?! Oh god, how could you let this wretched creature to live in this world!! But then father with his loose expression, started to look around him as if he were clueless as to what is going on. "Huuhh~~ Why are you guys so quiet, is there some kind of event going on right now??" "Tsk¡­ Can your dog eyes see that there is an animal in here?! It''s no wonder the place is so silent. Oy, you gorilla over there, can you roll out and go back to whence you came from!? Your presence is not welcome here, ANIMAL!" Mother''s mouth is really hot as always¡­ Her words can really cause one ears to bleed, and with her cold and disdainful expression on her beautiful face, made the one who listened to her to feel shame!! I can see that the old man''s face is turning red from anger. He really can hold his temper well, huh. Even his body is starting to tremble as if he was about to rush ahead and cut my mother''s into pieces! Seeing that the old man Is about to act, father stepped forward and then greeted the old man with a bright smile on his face! "If it isn''t King Zaragus from Vasgran~~ Hahaha I wonder what happened here~~?? Don''t tell me that you caused trouble in my domain, Zaragus?!" "Hmph - !! So what!?" Uwah!! This is the first time I see this man, my father, looking so scary. Although he was all cheery at first, but then he became serious as he glared at the old man with his glaring blood red eyes! Hearing that the old man is not backing down and snorted at father''s question. Father then raised his lips into a smirk, he was really cool right now, even mother is staring at him with a glittering eyes¡­ This bastard is really something else!! He was carefree a moment ago and then he was serious the next, is he the so called ''I am nice, but don''t mess with me.'' Guy? I have to admit that he is cool though¡­ Damn! I wonder how I will looks like in the future, will I look just like him?! I''m not going to act like this bastard tho¡­ "Hehehehe~~~ Old Zara, you better get out now or I really will kill you this time. Since I am in a good mood and my son is here too, be grateful that I am not in a bad mood!" "You think I''m scared, you sissy!" Father''s narrowed eyes, is becoming more dangerous as I felt his murderous aura coming from him. Well damn, this is getting tense, even the other peoples are getting pale with fear. Are they going to fight?! In here?! You better not, you damned father!! "GOOD!" After saying that, father''s figure then disappeared together with the old man''s. Where did they go?! How did he do that?!! That was coooollll!!! Is that some kind of magic too?!! How come I didn''t notice about it?! I swear that he was standing and glaring at the old man, and he disappeared with a single words?! ''Good'' Is that some magical word to make one disappear in this world!? Got it, let''s try it!! "Good¡­. I don''t disappear¡­" "Hahahaha~~ Of course you won''t, Alex. He was using Chantless magic [Instant Warp], he''s probably fighting that gorilla somewhere right now." Damn¡­ so embarrassing!! So he was using magic after all!!! I can feel my face is getting hot from shame and embarrassment!! Chapter 11: Proposing To The Genius Princess After my embarrassing moment a while ago, mother then look around her with a cold expression on her face. "What are you guys looking at me for, this is the little princess birthday, why don''t you guys go and greet her already?" "Ah¡­ Yes, yes. Congratulation Princess Lili. I have brought a present with me, but I leave it in your servant''s hand, I''m sure you will like it¡­" The one who moved first was a noble man with a thin moustache, he was talking in a flustered manner toward the cute and beautiful little princess. "Congratulation¡­" "Hello Princess Lili¡­" "Happy birthday to you second princess¡­" The other then started to congratulate the little cute princess, but her expression is looking more and more grim the more people come to greet her¡­ I can see that mother is looking pleased at herself and then moved toward the princess slowly. She then moved her head closer to my ear, she was opening and closing her mouth as if she were about so say something but couldn''t say it¡­ I have to say, Mother, I am happy about what you''re doing right now, because your breath is tickling my ear, and it felt great!! But you know what!? If I were not a kid, I''m 100% sure that I will be horny right now¡­ But then she finally opened her mouth and spoke in a very low tone. "Listen, Alex, this little princess is not ordinary, she has the mind of an adult, or so I heard, so go ahead and flirt with her all you like¡­" "¡­.." What the fuck are you saying!!! I was wondering what kind of thing you are going to say but¡­ Are you crazy!! This beyond me, there is no sane parent who told their child to flirt!! First, its father, and now it''s you!! You two are really wrong in the head!! "What are you daydreaming about, now hurry and go!!" "..." Oy, why did you put me down!? Hurry up and carry me again! I refused to budge and just let my arm up toward her, hinting that she should pick me up again! Her expression is, for the first time, showed a displeased expression at me¡­. What the hell are you making that face foooorrr!!! Which mother out there, urge her five years old son, to flirt with a five years old girl¡­ This is really a wonderful family I got here. "What are you doing, hurry up and go. You have always fool around with Mira, and you can''t even flirt with that princess?! Are you really my son!?" "..." Are you really my mother!? God how I want to tell her that!! Thank goodness that my will is strong enough to hold back. "Are you going¡­ Or not?!" "¡­. I''ll go¡­" What choice do I have?! Her stern gaze is now filled with flower after I said I''ll go¡­ But, what do I do?! What should I say to her? I don''t even know how to flirt, oy! All I did with Mira is just skinship you know, skinship! This challenge is too damn difficult¡­ Eeiiyy ¨C I just have to bite the bullet and bullshit¡­ So I hardened my thin skin while staring at the cute princess in front of me¡­ I balled my hand into a fist, then walked toward her with a glaring eyes and stiff expression. W-what kind of expression should I wear on my face?! I don''t know why, but the muscle on my face seems to be dead at this moment¡­ Huh? Why is her complexion becoming pale? Is she not too good with party and crowded place like me?! I keep walking toward her in a slow but graceful manner, and her expression is becoming more whiter and whiter as I got close to her¡­. The story has been stolen; if detected on Amazon, report the violation. She¡­ She couldn''t be scared of me, right? Right? RIGHT!? My heart¡­ My heart took a major blow as of this moment. My step staggered as I gazed at her light blue eyes, I can feel my heart just shattered¡­ But I cannot stop here¡­ The saying ''Wolf in the front and a tiger in the back.'' Fit really well with my current circumstance¡­ I gritted my teeth and keep walking toward her, this time, I walked faster than before¡­ The faster I got to her, the better. The other people that is surrounding her started to dispers the moment I walked to her. We are now standing face to face, my dead like expression and glaring eyes is right in front of her now¡­ Even though my heart is hurt seeing her pale and wandering eyes, I keep looking at her with a firm gaze. Her long black hair is flowing out like a waterfall until her waist, her cute small red lips is trembling a little as her light blue eyes keep wandering around, refusing to look at me¡­ She will become a beautiful woman in the future, enough to be standing shoulder to shoulder with my mother¡­ That is how cute she is as of this moment. I gripped my balled fist tighter as I keep thinking what i should say to her. This is the first time I ever hated my father for disappearing at this moment¡­ "Your eyes¡­ Stop looking around like an idiot and look at me!" "¡­. What?!" "Good¡­ Since you are this beautiful, I am sure that you''ll be a beauty in the future like my mother." "Uumm.. Thank you?" WHAT"S WITH THIS CONFERSATION!! This is not a 5 years old kid should be saying!!! Change¡­ I request a change!! Someone please change place with me!! Anyone? OOOYY!! Look at how troubled she is right now!! Mom, where are you!? I can''t do this anymore~~ I tried to glance around trying to find mother''s figure in the crowd¡­ When I found her, she is talking with the princess mother while looking at me, I can see that she is smiling so wide that I want to smack her right now! Ugh.. I don''t have a choice, let''s just say some bullshit and be done with it¡­ "What is your name, princess? My name is Alexius Merga Zaxvius, my mood is a bit down right now, please do forgive my rudeness." I wanna die.. I wanna die.. I wanna die¡­ I wanna die¡­ I wanna die¡­ I wanna die¡­ I wanna die¡­ I wanna die¡­ I keep chanting this word over and over again like a praying. "Oh.. Umm.. My name is Lili Veron K Zaranex, I am the second princess of Zaranex Kingdom, and Umm.. I-it''s all right, i don''t mind." "I see¡­ What a beautiful name, just like you yourself¡­ And since you don''t mind my mood being bad, then let''s cut to the case. We are still a child, yes?" "Y-yes¡­ We are still five years old after all, so of course we are still a child." "Indeed, glad that you understand¡­" "Uumm¡­ S-so?" I can see her bewildered expression, it clearly show on her face that she is saying ''So what? Hurry up and out with it!'' "So, do you want to marry me in the future?! I will not have a ''No'' for an answer. You will be coming with me from today onward! This is final!" "WHAT!?" Her shocked expression is really something to behold. I, a five years old kid, just proposed in a domineering manner, and told her that I, this tyrant, will not accept a ''No'' as an answer¡­ With this¡­ I am certain that my peaceful life that I enjoyed so much, is now coming to an end¡­ Side Story 1 "Ragria Plains¡­ Huh!? This place sure is wide enough for us to rampage a little, don''t you think so?" "Well~~ Actually~~ I don''t even know to what place we''ll be transported to¡­ I think, I just got lucky~~?" I stuck out my tongue while placing my right hand on my head. I honestly don''t know where we''ll be going after that warp, but whatever, it went well, so who cares¡­ Uh¡­ Oh¡­ His complexion turned green¡­ Is he going to transform or something? "Hey, hey Zaragus~~ Your face is green, are you going to become a goblin~~?" "YOU BASTAAARRDD!!!" Zaragus kicked his left leg and then charged at me with a lightning like speed. But too bad, this kind of speed is just like a snail for me. He swung his sword aiming toward my head, but I grabbed it with my bare left hand. I don''t even need to do anything, he should have used sword technique just now if he want to injure me. When I see his red face and glaring eyes, I just shake my head with a helpless smile on my face. "Your body is so disgustingly hard, sissy!!" "¡­. Well~~ I just have this strong body, y''know! And women are attracted to this strong body, they loved it so much that I can''t sleep at night! Even though I''m a sissy~~ Hahaha~~" "But too bad, you should''ve not grabbed the sword! [Nine Art: Blood Sacrifice]" There is a blood red like liquid around the blade of the sword. I can feel the slimy and strong stench of blood from it. It was as if the sword were covered with blood. This kind of Sword Technique is quite a risky one, by sacrificing their blood for absolute sharpness of the blade is just foolish! "Sigh¡­ You know that even with this, my body will not be har - !" I felt panic for the first time as I let go the sword and jumped 5 meter to the back. Something is strange¡­ I can feel an unknown aura coming from inside Zaragus body. "Hahahaha!! What!? Are you scared!? Bwahahaha!!" Seeing my fleeting figure, Zaragus laughed at me with a mocking expression. "¡­.. I see¡­ Zeltora! That demonic dragon is still alive after all¡­" With a dark and grim expression, I let out a sigh while whispering under my breath. Zeltora is a dragon that died 300 years ago. That dragon was killed by someone from Aulavite household from the heaven realm. This kind of dragon is not something I could handle with my current condition. My internal injury is still not recovered yet. Zaragus didn''t let me catch my breath and rushed with a great momentum. "Eat this! [Nine Art: Blood Burn]" His body now looked like he''s drenched in blood, This Nine Art of Devil is too disgusting¡­ What kind of crazy bastard want to use their blood as a source of power?! It greatly increased his speed, defense and power to the limit. And with the aura from Zeltora, I can only dodge and evade his attack. Demonic dragon Zeltora aura can erode flesh and damage the soul if one were to be in contact with it. By Coating his body and the sword with that aura, it would a fatal danger for me to be cut or get in contact with him. I can choose to fight in a distance but¡­ My pride will not allow it!! "Zaragus, did you made a contract with Zeltora?" "That''s right!! I made a contract with him, he is now sleeping in my body." Hearing his words, i narrowed my eyes. "Brave¡­ I fear that you will be devoured, Zaragus!" "So what!? You should be happy if I die, right!?" Hearing his word, i denied it with all of my might. "Nonsense! It would increase my workload, you damned fool!! I have my hands full with just my own place, and you want me to take care of yours!? No thank you!!" Ensure your favorite authors get the support they deserve. Read this novel on the original website. "...." I am angry! How could this bastard be so selfish?! Just how big is Vasgran Kingdom, even though it has a 500 years of history, that place is big enough to fight with my Empire! And he wants me to be the ruler of that place?! Damn fucking hell¡­ I''ll rather destroy it and be done with it than to govern it! I can see his face turning dark as rage slowly building up inside him. I don''t understand! Why is he like this? But then it returned to normal when he closed his eyes for a moment. "You really are an idiot, huh!? Sigh¡­ Listen, Julius! The people from the Heaven Realm is going to invade us the Imperial Realm. I am old, and my power is decreasing by each passing days. So I was desperate to nurture a power house that could destroy the balance of this world! "I''m so desperate that I''m willing to do anything! Even you are injured by those pricks from the Heaven Realm right?! I know that if you were at you peak, a Demonic Dragon Aura is nothing but fart to you!" His expression turned serious as he stared at me without blinking his eyes. I could only sigh when seeing this old bastard like this. I understand that our realm is weaker than those people, but he should at least be prudent to conduct himself! "You have to think again Zaragus, don''t be reckless! We are indeed weak, but I, Julius, is still alive and kicking! They won''t dare to mess in here as long as I am alive¡­" "But you are just one man in the end!! What can you alone do in the end? While they have a bunch of peoples like you up there!!" Zaragus figure then disappeared and appeared behind me. I can hear the wind being cut by a sharp object, feeling the danger, I ducked and then rolled to the side, not daring to be in contact with the old man. "Look at you! Even I can force you to roll around on the ground like a dog!!" Swallowing my discomfort and rage, i looked at him with a sad expression. "¡­. I know that we are weak, but why do you have to act like this?! What is the meaning of this fight!? And beside, I don''t even want your Kingdom!!! Stop pestering me and my family to have that place of yours!! [Blood Freeze]." I waved my hand and casted a forbidden level magic, it freeze the blood of my opponent, if the old man were to be an ordinary plebian, he would''ve died already right now!! However, this cockroach like bastard is alive and kicking!! His blood should be frozen right now, but look, he still can move albeit a bit stiff¡­ "Old man, your heart stopped beating¡­. Looks like Zeltora really like you a lot, huh¡­" "Hmph! Your magic is just too lousy!!" Well, indeed, even I can do what he is doing right now, for people like us, a beating heart is nothing but a temporary thing. I just don''t want to kill this old bugger¡­ The trouble of killing him is just too much for me to handle alone¡­ With no other choice, i decide to go with a plan B. With a smirk on my lips i looked at the old man with a foxy expression. "All right then old man, since I can''t do anything to you, and it would be a waste of time if I keep playing with you¡­ Goodbye old man¡­" Without waiting for his reply, I activated my teleportation magic while locking the dimension in that place under 10 kilometer away from there¡­ I can imagine his furious expression and could not help but to raise the corner of my lips into a smirk. However, i do have another problem i must face right now.... "Now then¡­ Where am i!?" While looking around me, i muttered that under my breath. Chapter 12: She Realized and The Sage After that, I was dragged by mother to the corner. When I was being dragged by mother, I could see that the others are looking at me with an awkward and stiff smile on their face. But you know what, I don''t even know what I''m saying back then¡­ My mind was clouded, my eyes were hazy and my heart is dead¡­ That was something I said out of desperation! Like what the hell am I supposed to do in that situation?! What kind of things should a five year old kid say to flirt!? Hey, hey. Can someone tell me what should I do in that situation?! A social outcast like me was told to flirt with a kid¡­ This is hard in a different kind of level!! I can only think that I am a criminal¡­. Although... My appearance is that of a child myself, but my soul and my memory is that of an adult you know!! My soul is that of a 24 years old young and healthy male. It''s true that this is the first time I ever confessed to a woman in all of my life. But¡­ But¡­ What is this sense of guilt and hard to describe feeling in my heart!? Right now, mother''s expression is very stiff, her usual cold and indifferent face is not present. W-what kind of expression is this, this is the first time I see this kind of expression from her! And not to mention that I could hear the whisper of these people talking about me. "As expected from that man''s child¡­" "This is a surprise, to think that the first prince inherited both the Emperor and the Empress trait¡­" "Well this is something to be expected¡­" "Hmph¡­ Another good for nothing¡­" "Cough¡­ Ris, tell the musician to play the music¡­ And a bit louder¡­ Cough Cough..." All kind of talk could be heard in the silent and quiet big hall. Even though they were saying it rather quietly, but my ears is strangely sharp right now¡­ Not long after the sound of a music started to drown the whisper and break the awkward situation. I don''t know what kind of music it is, but it sounded really nice and pleasant to my bleeding ears¡­ The music is like a jazz from earth, probably someone came here earlier than me a long time ago? Well, I don''t know and I don''t care¡­ To tell the truth, I tried hard to think about something else other than my mother in front of me¡­ She has been staring at me with a stiff expression, her lips raised a little formed a small smile, but it looked quite scary to me¡­ J-just what kind of expression is this, and why are you looking at me and not saying anything!? My finger were quite fidgety right now, as I can feel that my lips were dry due to how nervous I am, I licked my lips to moisten it up while peeking at mother''s face. She''s not shocked into becoming an idiot, right!? She probably conflicted as to what to say in this kind of situation, right?! Therefore, I don''t have a choice but to keep silent and listen to the music, while playing with my fingers¡­ Not long after, mother let out a gentle sigh, it was as if she just let out something that bothering her and is now free from it. The narrative has been taken without permission. Report any sightings. "I just talked to your father, it looks like he approved of it, there''s no problem. So you can bring her back with us and play with her to your heart content!" "¡­. What?! What do you mean, mama?! And where is father right now?!" I was left speechless by her words. Well I know that even in earth, an early engagement is considered as normal too by an old family. But still, man I''m just five years old¡­ Nah, I''m not even five YET¡­ Well I know that is not the point but¡­ still¡­ is this all right?! Is my conscience okay with this development?! Am I willing to be engaged to a child? No¡­ well, I am a child too¡­ With my confusion I even said father rather than papa just now¡­ Never mind that, mother is giving me a cold stare as if she just looked at an idiot, what is the meaning of this!? I am just a five years old child right now!! I don''t understand what you are thinking!! "Julius is in another part of the world, far away from this continent¡­ Well this is nothing new, he''ll be back in a while, so let''s just wait for him. And that is what it is, and as you said, this is final!" "¡­.." I can only look at her with a wronged look¡­ And to think that he is in another part of the world. Just where did he go? What kind of magic is that random to transfer him to another part of the world¡­ "Alex, you will have nothing to worry after this, you have a smart and powerful wife now. Not to mention that Xiv and Ira is our loyal Vassal, this is just perfect!" "What perfect¡­ my ass¡­" Crap - !! I said that unintentionally!!! My body has become stiff due to shock and worried that she will think I''m some kind of weird kid or something! Even though I said it pretty lowly and on the border of whispering, with how close she is and how sharp her hearing is. I am sure that she definitely heard what I just said just now! And sure enough, when I looked up to see her expression. She was grinning from ear to ear as if she just caught a little thieving cat. "Are you surprised?! Why are you so tense, I already know that you are not an ordinary kid a long time ago, and you know what, the thing that you said and do is a complete mess. You are acting like a child so that you can hide the fact to that your mind is much more developed than normal, am i wrong?'' "Also, I''m sure Mira have told you that I have always been watching you all the time, right? Not only watching, I also understand what you are saying, and as I am a smart mother, I realized that your understanding and memorization is very high.'' "You are the same like that little wife of yours, she is blessed with a very special body and power. Her very existence defied common sense itself, so for her to be your wife is nothing but a matter of course! And you will awaken you magic latter, the Sage is waiting with little Xiv in the waiting room." I could only opened my mouth as wide as it could be, and stared at her like an idiot. She got me¡­ She really got me there¡­ But I''m glad that she think I am just a born genius¡­. Phew~~ W-wait¡­ Huh!? What did she just say?! Sage!? Awaken!? Seriously - !? Eeehhh~~
