I am turning ten today. I smile as I fix my lapel and stand tall in the long mirror. Glancing at the mirror I think about how different I look. Red Hair like my father, Emerald green eyes like my mother and of course that defined nose. I look to my bed where my lion sits, and I walk to him “Sir Leonus. Protect this place while I am gone.” Even with no one around I am going to act like a child. Don’t want to break character. Plus… It's fun being a kid. What isn’t fun are the bruises hidden on my side. Yep, Sarah is being ‘that’ kind of person. I have tried to tell Alice, Ceila or Olga but Sarah seems to always know and comes in. But it’s not all bad, I am getting skills from it.

I have learned alot about this world. Being a prince, I have my very own personal tutor. He has taught me many things once I was of age. We reside in the Kingdom of Astria. To the north of Astria is Peres and to our west the Everglades. There is a large sea between us and the next continent. On that side resides the Kingdom of Grender. To its west is Lauster and the vast desert. From there going north Morten and Rendus lie past the forest. Then there is the lone continent of Koro. From what I read frost giants live there. That’s right, giants! My tutor told me all about the magic and different races that live in this game world. It truly would be a fantastic game if I wasn’t a child.

Speaking of magic, I was told about the different properties. Light and Dark are opposites or oppose one another. There is elemental magics and nature magics. Lastly the manufactured magics, spells created by great mages for others to study and use. Programming in that sense could be considered manufacturing magic. I haven’t told anyone about this ability so far. Mostly because I feel that I would be asked to use my power to make people overly powerful. I have considered giving Sarah an effect of some kind. But that would be a villainous action.

I shake my head out of my ponderings and head to the coach where my mother and father wait for me. I sit with them, and we head to the royal ballroom. Apparently, it’s a separate building. I shift and stare out the window in wonder at the sights. What a beautiful game. Once we arrive outside the ballroom, I follow my mother and father inside. We enter as horns play “Welcoming Queen Victoria, King Ezberd and Prince Andras!” the crowd claps. I follow my parents to the thrones. We sit and I watch the party.

Hours pass and I have greeted so many people today. I don’t think I will remember them all. I also get presented with all kinds of gifts. Apparently, word got out that I liked lions so a lot of imagery of the animal is here. I mean they are cool, so I won’t complain. But I make sure to play excited then restraining myself as a ten year old prince should. We get food and drink from a butler and I smile while eating a sweet. It’s so good. Almost reminds me of my mom’s cooking.

I feel a sense of sudden loss. My eyes tear up involuntarily. Mom. I… Why haven’t I thought about her? I am a horrible son. I miss her so much… I bite the food and wipe my tears. I look at the slightly worried butler. I smile brightly “This is the best desert I have ever had sir. It brought me to tears.” his eyes widen as he bows deeply “The chief will be pleased with such praise!” I nod to myself and finish the food. I may want to find that chef in the future. Just so I may enjoy my mom’s cooking another day. Shaking myself out of these sad thoughts I focus back onto the party. My parents force me to dance with a few girls and none really interest me. I am an adult man in a child’s body. When I attend parties with women my age, I will think about dating them.

Once the party ends, I look over all my gifts. My room is now littered with lion themed merchandise. I have flags, toys and clothes with lions on them. Looks like I'm obsessed or something. My stuffed lion Leonus now has a pride of lions. Even if I am an adult in mind, I'll enjoy the comfort of all these plush toys.
