Chapter 4: Heretic

Chapter 4: Heretic

10 years later...

I am now 10. 

...

So now that I am 10 i have a Coming to age ceremony to go to.

I walk out of my room and into the palace garden. I look at the flowers around me and smell the fresh air of nature. The air here is 100 times better then that of Earth it could be because there is less pollution or because it doesn't smell like the alleyways...

So I leave my house. I have never left this place before in the past 10 years if you didn't know. I have always stayed inside my room practicing my meditation and honed my skills! Of course without letting my mother find out. And the watch dog left after the day I ate his Mana Crystal and didn't come back... 

I walk to my carriage and get on and the horse carriage brings me to the palace.

"Halt!" (Palace Guard)

I walk out and show my Prince Emblem. 

"You highness!" (Palace Guard)

And after all the formalities and what not I am allowed to pass.

I walk up to the Palace Doors and the Guards tell me I must wait until my father the King arrives.

After around 3-5 minutes the Doors open and I walk in.

I get on 1 knee and bow my head like i was told and say

"Ludius Cadius greets father." (Ludius)

"You may rise, Today my son turns 10 his coming to age ceremony is today. We shall now see his elements! (King)

I hear whispers all around me

"So that's the 7th Prince." (Whisper)

"So hes the prince who was never seen by anyone." (Whisper)

"I heard he was so gluttonous when he was 1 day old that he milked at least over hundreds of milk mothers clean!" 

(Whisper yet not a whisper)

"Wasn't he supposed to look fat?" (Whisper)

"I heard that too, but he looks handsome! He looks as handsome as the 3rd Prince!" (Whisper yet not a whisper)

"Are you an idiot? The 3rd Prince is likely going to be the heir to the throne, and he is a genius at the art of the sword and has talent for Earth and Fire Magic! And his beauty is unmatched by all in the kingdom! How could he be compared to this mysterious 7th prince! (Totally not a Whisper)

I just mean't... never mind.  (Whisper)

So the ceremony commenced through Whispers and Not really Whispers...

They Bring out a Mana Crystal but this one looks bigger then the one i ate when I was 0.

I put my hand on it and it shines Blue and Yellow like I expected.

*Gasp* 

The nobles in the audience went into uproar. Whispers spread some more.

"Lightning Element!" (Noble)

"Yeah to think the mysterious 7th Prince has a affinity for lightning!" (Noble)

"This can't be... " (Noble)

"Our kingdom has a Lightning Mage!" (Noble)

"You must aim for him to be your husband you understand darling. " (Noble)

"Yes, of course mother! I will soon have him under my skirt!" (Lustful Noble Daughter)

...

And so in less then a day. Nobles from all over the kingdom prepared gifts and there daughters! They were prepared to do there all to ensnare the 7th Prince of Arphron. Of course Ludius didn't know about any of this...

I was sent to the Church of Light to get myself baptized. 

"Greetings, 7th Prince of Arphron i am the head priest of the Church of Light." (Head Priest)

"Good Day, Are you going to be the one who is going to commence my baptism? (Ludius)

"No, the Holy Maiden is going to personally commence your baptism." (Head Priest)

Oh great is the church trying to seduce me with there holy maiden now? 

"Not trying to be rude but may i ask when do we start?" (Ludius)

"We will be starting in an hour as the perpetration are almost done." (Head Priest)

They sure aren't prepared are they, I mean I was told my coming to age ceremony a full month before it started. Well i guess they have there reasons...

1 Hour Later...

Holy Maiden POV

The church was contacted by the Queen of Arphron. She said that we must get rid of the 7th Prince. We where contacted between the time when the Ceremony took place and so we were short on time. We of course followed her wishes as she was the Queen of Arphron and her Son the 3rd Prince will become the King most likely. And she donated more then a billion Gold to the Church of light so we can't just make a enemy out of her when she has that much influence. And so when the 7th prince arrived i had the head priest buy me an hour.

When i met the 7th prince he looked calm and intelligent.

I tried charming him Like i always do in order to weaken his connection to his soul.

To my surprise it failed. That shocked me greatly. I mean i have charmed over hundreds of people and it almost always worked and he's a 10 year old so it should be simple. But to my surprise he resisted the charm.

My next plan was to use a undetectable nerve poison to weaken him. I had him drink it and i even told him the more he drinks the better. But to my surprise he only drank 1 cup and stopped... Did he find out?

Afterwards he stood in the in front of the statue of Lestia the goddess of light! 

I said my prayer to let the goddess of light to turn him into a her Angel.

The blinding light shinned like it always should have. Thinking i was finished i was about to walk out of the room when... The light DISAPPEARED!! This is something that has never happened before, so i look at him in shock then that shock turns in to fear... The only story about resisting purification is if your a
