Recap
Then a little girl entered, she had long red blonde hair that shined like the sun and her eyes blood red of unwavering will.
The little girl went up and gazed at Arthur in his crib.
"So you are my lovely little brother,I will introduce myself.
My name is Priscilla Benedict
I am your older sister."
The little girl says to Arthur that was just staring at her.
'Should I leave at the age of four? Four sounds good.'
With that the life of Arthur Vollachia begins.
A year has passed since Arthur was born.
The King would come by from time to time to check on him.
The King instructed the maids to give him reports when he stops by, which the maids obeyed.
Once he receives the report he would leave and come back again after a month to check on him again.
Arthur was treated as a precious treasure by the king.
Which he didn't hate specifically, because that means that the king needs him but does not actually affectionately love him.
The maids went towards to Arthur's crib with food and milk on their hands, but the toddler was not there.
"THE PRINCE ESCAPED AGAIN!"
The head maid that was taking care of Arthur alarms the soldiers around the area that was patrolling.
The maids along with the soldiers searched for the prince in the big palace.
Without them knowing, Arthur was just hiding in a nearby corner.
'Yosh, distraction success!'
Arthur mused and and checked if the area was clear.
After confirming that the area was indeed clear, he began crawling towards the library.
After learning how to crawl, he always escaped when no one is looking so he can explore the castle.
So Arthur has a general layout of the palace.
He hides in a corner and peeks towards the library and saw the soldiers and the maids leaving.
'Perfect they checked the library and I wasn't there.
They'll probably check again later, but that bought me a lot of time.'
Arthur gazes at the soldier and the figure of the maids till they were not in sight anymore.
Then Arthur crawled his way towards the library
And entered.
The reason why there was no librarian in the library was because this was a private library
specifically made for Arthur once he grows older.
But as of now no one was currently using it.
'I have mastered the techniques of crawling, and now after escaping my crib from time to time
and exploring the palace I have some general layout of the palace in my head.'
He saw a particular bookshelf that seems to have useful information
Arthur crawls and pulls out a book that was in reach.
He struggled pulling it as he was still a one year old baby and the book was bigger than him.
'This calls for..
Holy fighting spirit!'
Arthur's body began to glow as sparks were flying besides him and he successfully pulls the big book out.
And his body stopped shining and the sparks also stopped.
'The Holy fighting spirit boosts my physical abilities to it's utmost limits, but after practicing in over a year
I can adjust it on what limit should I stop raising it, so I won't receive it's drawbacks.'
After successfully pulling out the book
Arthur opens it and saw the contents of the book until suddenly
A shadow looms over him.
Someone then grabs his waist and lifted him up.
"Ara Little Art, so you were here."
Arthur looks at his older sister
Priscilla and she also stares at her one year old little brother.
"As my lovely little brother, you aren't fit to crawl in the ground Little Art. Your clothes is all dirty now."
Arthur nods at her older sister.
"Now what were you doing here?"
"Book."
Arthur points at the book the he pulled out.
"As expected of Little Art, already desiring to learn."
Priscilla pats the toddler's head.
Which Arthur smiled at her
At first she was just curious
On why the king is so obsessed with him, she thought that he could undo her boredom.
But to her surprise the boy grew on her, with so many hostile individuals in the empire and very little people she can trust, she became very fond of her little brother.
Priscilla puts Arthur down in nearby chair.
She grabs the book that Arthur pointed out earlier.
And walks towards Arthur.
She grabs Arthur again and placed him on her lap.
She opens the book in front of Arthur so he could see the content of it.
"Now which part does Little Art wanna read?"
Arthur points his finger on where it says
The Vollachia Empire.
"I see Little Art wants to learn about our kingdom.
Our Vollachia Empire is the largest nation in the continent, it's located in the south of The Dragon Kingdom Lugnica.
Does Art see the wolf head with three swords in it?"
Priscilla asks her little brother
Which Arthur nods at her
"That is the emblem of our Vollachia Empire."
"Big Sister Priscilla"
Arthur calls out to her big sister.
Priscilla looks at her little brother, waiting for his question.
"Is our kingdom the strongest?"
Arthur asks Priscilla
Priscilla smiles at her little brother and pats his head.
"Of course, after all we are born in it.
This world is designed to operate in the way that works best for us.
Because we are special."
Priscilla tells her little brother.
She continues teaching her little brother and time passed.
While Priscilla continues to teach Arthur about the world
To which Arthur listened with great interest.
Arthur's stomach growled,
Priscilla looks at her little brother.
"Did you eat yet Little Art?"
Arthur looks away at her older sister
Not making eye contact with her.
But Priscilla lifts Arthur and carries him in her arms.
Priscilla exits the library and went towards the dining room.
"PRINCE ARTHUR! SO YOU WERE WITH PRISCILLA-SAMA"
A passing maid that was looking for Arthur says.
The maid knelt down in Arthur and Priscilla's presence.
But Priscilla for some reason was displeased, and she kicked the kneeling maid's face.
"To not be able to do your duties like feeding Little Art, and you also didn't watch over him properly.
What are the uses for you in the palace if your not doing your job properly?"
Arthur watched her older sister punishing the maid.
The maid looked at Arthur's eyes as if pleading the one year old to help her.
Arthur saw maid's eyes and only stared at her.
The maid saw it.
The bored eyes of Arthur, as if the eyes were saying
That he was tired of waiting, and wanted to eat already.
To which the maid is completely right.
Arthur was indeed bored.
Arthur in his past life did not conquer and unite the continent with only his strength.
He also had unmatched intelligence and wit.
He was not a righteous guy in his past life,
But he was also not an evil man.
To begin with in his point of view the concept of Good and Evil did not exist.
During his time of being experimented on
He was only taught to be strong, to be the best at everything.
With no parents to teach him about morality
He in his past life only lived on what he desired on doing.
And what he desired was to conquer.
To prove that he was the strongest and unmatched.
Even if the desire of conquering wasn't there anymore, because his Goal has changed.
He still kept that mentality.
The mentality of Acting in self interest.
Priscilla finished punishing the maid, and the maid's blood ran on the carpet.
Arthur pointed at the bleeding maid.
"Dirty"
Arthur says at her older sister.
Priscilla hugs her little brother.
"That's right Little Art that is indeed dirty, so don't come near it or you will also get dirty."
Priscilla breaks the hug and carried Arthur again in her arms, and continued to go towards the dining room.
They reach their destination, and opened the door of the dining room.
There revealed the foods that the palace chef cooked.
Priscilla puts Arthur down into a chair.
And she sat besides him.
Arthur grabs the spoon and fork with both hands
But struggled to use it as his body is not yet developed.
Priscilla stares with amused eyes at her Little brother's attempt on eating by himself.
"Does Little Art want some help?"
Priscilla asks her Little Brother.
But Arthur shakes his head implying that he doesn't need it.
Arthur continues his pointless attempts of using the spoon and fork.
He gave up and grabs the food by hand.
Which displeased Priscilla and she glares at her Little Brother.
"Little Art, I told you that I do not like it when you get dirty."
Arthur looks at his Older sister, and saw her displeased eyes.
He sends her apologetic looks.
Priscilla looks at her Little Brother with an unreadable expression.
She uses her fork on Arthur's food,
And feeds it to her Little Brother.
Arthur was frustrated but still accept the food
That his older sister fed him.
"Now now don't be frustrated after all tomorrow is a special day."
Arthur looks at his older sister with curiosity
On why tomorrow is special.
"Special? Why?"
Arthur asks her older sister
Which Priscilla boops his little brother's nose.
"It's Little Art's first birthday tomorrow."
'My birthday? I guess I already grew accustomed of this world.'
While thinking Arthur couldn't contain his tiredness and yawned.
As a toddler he still needed a lot of sleep.
"Is Little Arthur tired? That is perfect as I am also feeling quite tired.
Shall we go to sleep little art?"
Arthur reluctantly agrees and Priscilla carries her Little Brother again and went over to her room.
She lays Arthur down in her king size bed, and she also lays down besides her Little brother.
There the both of them began to sleep.
Arthur slowly wakes up at the sound of rustling, and the feeling of the wind.
He slowly opens his eyes, and saw six unknown figures.
"Damn it! We've lost more casualties than expected!
Was this mission really worth it captain?!"
One of the unknown individuals spoke with great frustration.
"Calm down! We're still within the borders of Vollachia!
Questions and Frustrations comes later focus on our mission!"
Arthur fully wakes up and analyzes the situation, and he appears to have been kidnapped, and he is currently being transported in a carriage.
One of the unknown figures looks at Arthur and saw that he was awake.
"Well looks like the precious prince of the vollachia is awake!
If only the client didn't specify to take you alive,
I would've already killed you!"
The unknown figure kicks Arthur in the stomach.
Arthur gasped for air, as he was still a toddler and receiving a kick like that in his current physique would've definitely been painful.
"Oy stop! The client might decrease his value if you roughned him up too much.
We're going on foot here Split in to two groups!
The other group hold off the soldiers,
Rendezvous at the usual spot in the forest, we'll take the brat."
With that they jumped off the carriage, and the driver of the carriage remained acting as decoy to lure the soldiers chasing them.
The two groups separated, and they ran to their supposed destination.
Arthur kept silent as he was being carried, he observed the movement of the three.
'The person carrying me on his shoulder must be their leader.
Judging by his body he is most likely built for close quarter combat.
The one on the right carries a bow so he's an archer and built for long range.
And the one on the left is barely keeping up, and
His muscles aren't all there,
He should be a magic user.'
Arthur finished analyzing his opponents,
And waited for an opportunity.
Patiently like a predator waiting for his prey's guard to be down so he can strike.
"Captain are we there yet?! I'm almost out of energy!"
"Not yet, but we are close hold on.
We're already within the borders of lugnica,
but don't let your guard downs!"
The archer peers his gaze at Arthur, more specifically the ring on his finger.
"Ooh! Brat that ring seems to have a lot of value!
Looks like we'll get some extra money."
The archer licks his lips, and comes closer to take a look at the ring.
Arthur finally saw the opportunity and takes it.
When the archer brought his face closer on the Ring
It suddenly changed shape into that of a black stick at the size of a toy sword made for children.
Arthur quickly takes advantage at the surprised and confused reaction of the archer.
He quickly unsheaths the dagger size shirasaya and it revealed the translucent teal blade.
The last thing the archer saw was the absolute beauty of the weapon, before the teal blade stabs his forehead.
The one carrying Arthur noticed all the moving Arthur was doing, but thought that it was just the child panicking.
'Holy fighting spirit!'
Arthur screamed in his head internally.
And his body shined again as sparks surrounded his body.
Before the yell of the mage reached the ears of his captain
Arthur already stabbed the man's back, but
He didn't stop there.
To make sure that the man was dead Arthur increased the limit of his holy fighting spirit to dug deeper on the man's back
With the force of his augmented right hand, he punctures through the man's back.
Arthur pushed his right hand deeper, and his hand penetrates the the man's flesh destroying the backbone.
Then he felt it, the man's heart.
Arthur's black teal blade reverted back to being a ring on his right hand's finger.
He grabs the mans heart crushed it with his right hand.
Arthur pulls his bloody hand out on the man's back, as the dripping of the blood falls into the ground.
The mage stared in horror in the two lifeless bodies of his comrades.
Blood poured endlessly out on their bodies.
He takes a look at the one responsible for the death of his comrades.
The child that has just lived for a year, and yet already capable of doing this to skilled mercenaries.
"YOU MONSTER!"
The mage yells as he motions his hand and mana gathered at his palms.
Arthur was still feeling the massive pain on his right arm, as the drawbacks was greater than he expected.
Arthur amplifies his thinking speed to an inhumane level using the divine protection of the sage.
Then he arrives of the conclusion of magic.
Without knowing how to use it or even controlling it, he just gathered mana recklessly from the atmosphere and from his body.
He chose the element of the wind and fires the blast of wind towards the mage
The mage uses a fireball, but that was obliterated at the incoming slashes of the wind.
It not only tore his body to shreds, but the trees and the grounds was also affected greatly.
Arthur smirked and felt weak as his arms still received the drawbacks of the holy fighting spirit.
'Looks like I survived to relax another day.'
Chapter over, stay tuned :D
