chapter 1: Demon prince

After the blinding flash of light subsided I was once again in space filled with darkness, where something is beating rythmetically. This place I assume may be my mother's womb. My body feels rather weak, I guess I am still a fetus. With nothing to do in this place except sleeping and thinking, I got bored after maybe few days. When I remember my past life, I would always feel at peace and relaxed when mediating so I thought might as well do it and started mediating.

While passing days in such fashion with absolutely nothing to do I noticed my body grow bigger and little stronger with each passing days. After what felt like ages of waiting, the fated day came. That day I felt some unknown force pushing me out of this dark space.

After frantic pushing and screams of my new mother for hours I felt my head come out of that dark place into light. After forty minutes or so of pushing and screaming did my body finally come out.

Because my body being small I could not immediately open my eyes but I felt someone drying my wet body with soft cloth and saying in old voice:

"Congratulation My Queen, it's a boy."

'hmmm queen? Then I must be prince, huh? demon prince doesn't sound bad.' I thought.

"huff... Is he huff.. healthy?"

I heard a weak, tired and concerned voice asking, which I am sure belongs to my mother. After asking such, I think she fell unconscious because I could hear sleeping like sound.

I tried to open my eyes which I barely managed, (it being too bright after being accustomed to darkness for a long time). I looked at lady who had black hair with white mixed in it. She has black eyes with dark skin. She checked on me and frowned before saying:

"The baby is healthy but he is not crying like a normal baby."

'Hmm since I want to have lots of fun in this life why not start right away?' I thought. So, while old lady was looking at me intensely I looked at her right in the eye and instead of crying, smiled.

This startled her to no end, she almost dropped me to the ground.

'Hey granny watch out' I thought.

Although she regained her balance, I kept on smiling at her.

At this moment, I could hear something like door opening sound. My head was opposite to where my mother was so I could not see her but door was right in front of me so I darted my eyes toward the door, from where a hulking man nearly seven foot tall entered into the room. Seeing me in old lady's hands, the man smiled a bright smile. This man had purple short hair, two pitch black horns protruding from extreme sides of his forehead going upward and curving at red tip. His eyes golden while slightly dark skin tone. He ask the old lady in happy voice:

"How are baby and Queen Lilith?"

His voice woke the lady from her stupor and hastily replied while bowing:

"My King, Queen gave birth to a healthy boy b-but this child, instead of crying like normal children, is smiling."

You might be reading a stolen copy. Visit Royal Road for the authentic version.

Hearing this, the King rather my father frowned first but then his frown turned into grin and said:

"Haha of course, he's my child, he would be cheerful one."

During the conversation he arrived near us and the lady handed me to father. He looked at me then turned toward the lady and asked:

"How's Lilith?"

"Oh, I forgot due to unusual behaviour of baby. I will check right away."

She replied and proceeded toward mother.

My father too turned toward mother so, I got first chance to look at my mother. She looked around 20-30 unlike my father who looked around 30-40. She had red flowing hair disheveled because of labour. She had her eyes closed so I could not see it but her skin was fair and white. She was sleeping on big bed, something was on her back below her and a slender long rope like thing was also there.

'Wings and tail?' I thought.

The lady quickly checked on mother then turned to look at my father and said:

"Queen is also in normal condition. She is unconscious from exhaustion."

As she was saying such mother's eyes trembled slightly and after a second she slowly opened her blue eyes. She looked our way and weakly smiled.

"Richard, Let me hold my child." She said.

My father went over to her and handed me to her. She looked at me with a smile enhancing her beauty by a level.

"I am your mother, my child."

In return to her introduction I smiled back. At first she showed a surprised expression but she immediately smiled back. Suddenly the old lady interjected with a question:

"My King, My Queen what shall be young prince's name?"

"Oh Rolda, I almost forgot. What do you think Lilith?"

Asked, my father.

"Hmm how about, Lithius?"

Said my mother looking at me. I looked mother in the eyes and once again smiled to give my consent. Seeing me smile my father laughed and said:

"Hahaha looks like he likes the name, so be it. His name will be Lithius Richard Grace."

Though the situation was happy, I felt hunger well up on me so I cried a little. My mother looked worried.

"Maybe he is hungry." Said Rolda, the old lady.

"Are you hungry?" asked mother smiling at me. I stopped crying and smiled at her. Everyone was surprised at first but mother giggled and took out her breast and feed me.

After happy meal was over, before this I always mediated instead of sleeping, so for once I decided to sleep peacefully.
