Today marks a month since my birth. It's been very fun relaxing time. Rather than the months of boredom all alone just before my rebirth, I cherish this lively moment.

I have grown a lot in just one month. I could crawl in just ten days and I can now speak some baby words like mama and papa.

Is this normal?-- I am not sure.

Am I afraid that they will find that I am not really a baby but an reincarnated person but will misunderstand me as devil incarnation and will proceed to kill me in cold blood?--Yes

Can I do anything to hide that fact?

--I can just lay low and hope my concert doesn't get blown.

I have grown accustomed to my baby act. I cry time to time but it still ashames me that I have to pee and... in my bed.

These days my parents have more free time on their hands as the adventurers all have left for their journeys leaving the inn empty.

So, there has been more parent child bonding time than usual.

Unlike other days, my eyes opened early today. I followed my routine and cried loudly. After getting my belly full, my mom took me outside where I saw my dad.

He was currently practicing sword art.

From eavesdropping the adventurers at the inn I learnt some stuff about swordsmanship.

Firstly, Swordsmanship was divided into different types : Fire style, water style, earth style, wind style, lightning style and darkness style.

Fire style is an aggressive swordsmanship style. It was a well-balanced style that combined quick reflex and maneuvering with powerful and repeated slashing. It was much more popular decades ago, but it quickly fell out of favor after various counter techniques were introduced to other styles to counter fire style.

Water style is a distinct sword style that focuses on fights that take place underwater or on the water's surface. Because of the reduced speed under water, aggressive or quick-moving styles are deemed useless. Water style was developed to address these issues. It is characterized by a streamlined stance and slow but powerful attacks. However, its main disadvantage was that it was an ineffective fighting style for land battles.

Earth style involves heavy strike attacks. It is mostly paired with a heavy sword or battle axe. It is a style that doesn't involve much movement but each strike with earth style is meant to kill. It is a really style and it is okay to tank some damage to land the killing strike.

It is quite popular due to its effectiveness against large tanky monsters.

Wind style is a popular sword style that uses quick movements, maintaining distance, and insane speed to chip away at enemies. In other words, it's a hit-and-run strategy. Each slash may not be powerful, but the cumulative damage can add up over time, especially since the opponent had no chance of fleeing.

Lightning style combines the speed of wind style and aggressive nature of fire style. It involves use of lightning fast reflex to dodge or parry incoming attacks with minimal movement as well as quick attacks . Unlike wind style each, attack had potential to kill but there is no way of chasing down the opponent.

Darkness style involves hiding tracks and waiting for the right time to swiftly kill an enemy without anyone noticing. Basically high level assassination techniques .

However, to compliment the weakness of one style, many people practiced dual style of swordsmanship.

Dad was a practitioner of Wind style and lightning style.The lightning style made up for what the wind style lacked with it's deadly strikes and agressiveness.

The wind and lightning styles combined was very fast. I couldn't see his hand movements, nor could I track them. It was, however, to be expected. Attacks from a master swordsman are invisible to the average person. What I didn't realize was that my father was already a master swordsman at such a young age.

Swordsmen could be ranked as: Beginner, Amateur, expert, master, grandmaster, saint, emperor and God. But that's a discussion for other time.

"Quite early today, huh?" dad asked.

"Indeed.I am worried he might not be getting enough sleep." mom replied.

Dad was sweating heavily from his morning training. Mom handed him a towel.

"You should practice as well and keep up with your skills, even more so because it is mating season. Monsters could come rampaging at any time." dad put forward his thoughts.

"I really haven't got much time in my hands with inn and Cain to take care of." mom said.

"Hah? here let me take care of Cain. He is such a good child. He doesn't give troubles nor does he cry a lot. You can't blame him." dad replied.

'Mhmm, Looks like my acting is working. I just need to keep it up for few more months.'

"Have they reached?" mom asked in concern.

The atmosphere suddenly turned gloomy.

'Are they talking about my father and mother?'

"... They are safe. They are at Sir Leornio's for now. The roads to the capital was under constant monitoring and the entry points were heavily guarded. " he said.

" So, they couldn't reach the capital? " mom asked concerned.

"That was under our expectations. They have established their base of operations and have begin to take action. "

"They will be fine right?" mom asked.

"Nothing can be said for now. It's very dangerous. We cannot but hope they will be safe.

They are doing their part, don't forget we also have our own part to take."

'What did I hear? Are my parents in some kind of a secret mission to assassinate the king of something? What was that about sneaking in the capital?

Are they criminals?

Also why are they discussing such confidential topic out in the open?

Bruh.'

"Let's go inside "

'Wow, foreshadowing?'

Few days passed. nothing interesting happened in the mean time. Life went on like usual. The usual routine of my flawless baby act and silent observation continued.

But every thing changed when the fir.. I mean monster attacked.
