The next day after the worst chapter of his life (until now). Alexander turned two years old.

"Alexander see what uncle Frey gave you," Anna said as she showed him a vial that contained a dark blood colored liquid. After a moment she continued saying "This is a vial of bone marrow cleansing, it will help you to grow big and strong"

Alexander saw the vial with curiosity it was the first time he saw something called "Bone marrow cleansing" he wondered how It worked, so he quickly spread his hands to grab it while Anna told him "My dumb husband who didn't even show up to see his son and now he orders someone to send this potion with a message saying it's was for your medical bath to pave your path to martial arts "

"Miss, you are talking to a baby who may not even understand what you are saying," said Audrey my mother's servant she was the only one who had followed her from Duke Webber's house, although she doesn't seem much but She is the one who is in charge of my mother's safety since she is a martial artist in the sixth stage of the body's refinement and although She is a little over thirty years old but still looks like a beautiful lady in her twenties.

"You know Audrey, my Alexander is brilliant, plus my stupid husband only gave me a single potion while for the first and second prince he gave them three potions each. That moron who only favors his two sons because they are talented," said Anna. She was furious but can't take any actions because although she was the daughter of a duke of a foreign kingdom she doesn't have anyone in the royal court of the kingdom to act as her spokesperson while the queen and the third concubine were from this very nation were their parents held influence in the royal court of the kingdom.

"Hey, my lady you should lower your tone if someone heard you they can accuse you of rebelling against the king," said Audrey with a stiff face as their destinies were intertwined so if they caught Miss she will also face the same or even worse fate.

" Hmph, I want to see if they dare to do something to me if they dare to do it when the news reaches My father and my older sister they will not sit idly by," said Anna with a grim face.

But Audrey had other thoughts

(That's you but I'll be executed immediately no one is interested in a servant like me) she almost started to cry but suddenly she felt someone pull her dress when she looked down, a baby with a serious face was giving a thumbs up as if to say "I understand you"

Without hesitation, she lifted the baby and stared face to face, this is the very moment Audrey knew that she found a companion to help her with Miss Anna so that her life would not be short and she would happily die of old age with tears in her eyes ready to flow at any moment she said "Young master"

"While the baby nods his head as if to answer her," thought Audrey

(Hey I'm still a baby if anyone heard what my mother said and it reaches either the queen or the third concubine then they can making the rest of my life very difficult and my stupid "father" would not even hesitate to sacrifice me to make them happy.)

While these two subject and the young master formed a silent alliance. Anna stared at them and soon grabbed Alexander from Audrey's hands saying: "Even I have not had a bond with my son except your hmph" after that she tried to do the same as Audrey by placing Alexander in front of her looking at him in his eyes but it didn't work In fact, it was somewhat uncomfortable for Alexander because Anna was staring at him so fixedly like an Eagle looking at his prey trying to force what had previously happened with Audrey but it didn't work.

"Ehhh Miss you do not have to be jealous, that was just an accident hehe," said Audrey while trying to remove this feeling of discomfort in the room.

"Audrey you idiot," she said as he let go of Alexander and ran away from the room. Seeing this Audrey could not do anything but run after her remembering how she is still a young lady even though she behaves like a refined young woman when she is in front of everyone but when she is with the people she trusts she behave like a girl. the duke and her older sister spoiled her too much.

For now, Alexander was left alone in the room with a blank mind without believing what had just happened. He had never seen his mother behave like that. It was something new for him, In front of him, she had always behaved like a refined young woman full of maternal love but it seems that now I have just seen her true self. for a moment he wondered who was cheating who? he thought his performance was magnificent until he met his mother.

Unauthorized duplication: this narrative has been taken without consent. Report sightings.

"ahhhh" Sighing Alexander pushed those thoughts to the back of his head and fixed his attention to the desk where his mother left the potion that contained dark red liquid. He went to the table and examined it.

(I don't know what this is but it has too many impurities, I need to purify it)

Saying that I grab a sheet of paper from your mother's desk along with a thin brush and began to draw a line after line exquisitely. If someone saw this scene were an almost two-year-old baby drawing an array that even the array masters of the great sects and great nations could not perform they would spat out blood.

After a few minutes, the array was completed it was known as "Purifying Array" this array was an invention of his own invented based on researching other basic arrays but nobody ever thought of using it this way so Alexander had his own merit.

I started making gestures with my hands to control a small amount of qi from the surroundings just enough to be able to operate the matrix for a few minutes. It can be said that even though I have not cultivated yet, I was once a great cultivator so manipulating a bit of qi present in the surrounding was very easy.

in no time at all the black lines began to glow in a golden color without hesitation he uncorked the vial and poured all the dark red liquid on the paper then placed the empty vial under the paper, after the liquid touched the paper the paper lost it's yellowish color and became increasingly More black while the glass caught a pure scarlet liquid after a few minutes of work the purification was finished leaving twenty percent less from the original quantity while the paper which used to be yellowish now turned black smelling terrible.

Wiping the sweat from his forehead, he picked the vial, ready to take it when he heard footsteps coming from the corridor, apparently running as if they expected something bad to happen.

while Alexander was purifying the potion, at some corner in the palace there were two ladies one in a sitting position while holding her knees crying in silence while another bending over trying to comfort her.

"It's not fair my son had a bond with another woman who is not me," Anna said as she sobbed. "And what was worse, I had worked so hard for my son to adore me so I acted like a refined young woman all the time when I'm with him and now in few minutes the image I held in front of him had fallen"

"calm down young lady he is only two years old by the time he grows big he would forget everything happened today,"said Audrey but inside even she didn't believe it after all Alexander is smart and understand everything they said even though he could not speak.

"It's easy for you to say you took his first time," said Anna not caring who heard it but before she could finish. Audrey covered her mouth saying "Miss you better not talk nonsense if someone misinterprets you this will end badly"

"Also if you want you could just have another child and act like a refined lady all over again in front of him" Audrey added.

" Hmph and let that bastard(king) touch me again no thanks, I rather prefer to die. Also, Alexander will be my only son with him and I am satisfied with this, but thanks to you I lost all face in front of him hmph "said Anna with a threatening face

" Just forget it Miss also remember that Alexander has not said his first words yet with how much he loves you I am sure that he will say mama as his first words so don't worry about the rest," said Audrey.

when she heard those words Anna's eyes lit up with great enthusiasm she said" It's true he's already at that age and very soon he'll start talking "

Audrey, sighed as she succeeded to make the young lady forget about her concerns and not only that she also managed to make her happy so she could be relieved for now as she is here under the duke's orders to see that nothing happen to his daughter.

"Well, let's go back, we have to prepare the bathroom so that Young Master Alexander can take the bone marrow cleansing potion" saying that Audrey started moving towards the room to prepare the bath for the young master. Usually, the potions are taken directly but due to the strength of the potion and the age of the young master, it was safer to make his body absorb the medicinal effects through a medicinal bath if a child of his age drank it he may end up exploding.

"Yes, if I have to go listen to my son's talk," said Anna who was still immersed in her world but just when she was looking for the potion in her dress pocket her face changed color and became a little pale.

"What happened my lady?" Audrey asked as she watched the changes in the lady.

"Well, I lost the potion," said Anna while blushing with embarrassment, to say the least her bastard husband only gave a single potion for his son and she lost it. and she would have to accumulate several months of her allowance just to buy another potion and it is justified to say that this lady was terrible with her money. In other words, she always spent it on jewelry, dresses, makeup, shoes or what not. and never left anything at the end of the month. just thinking about how she could not spend money for a few months would make her faint.

"Come on, lady, it's not good to joke about these matters, just remember where it was the last time you saw it? "Audrey asked knowing that this was crucial for the future of Alexander (so does for Miss Anna).

Thinking a bit she carelessly said " right at the time when you and Alexander had your bond I was so jealous that I forgot to store the potion in my dress and left it on the bedside table or the desk I do not remember precisely, but it's should be in his room so there's nothing to worry about. "

" it's in the room!! "Audrey said a little pale.

" Yes, I'm sure, "Anna said.

" The same room where Alexander is? "Audrey asked again

" Yes, Audrey I did not think you would be so slow to understand even that," said Anna with a contemptuous smile

" Just for clarification you left a potion that if swallowed by a baby may cause him to explode within reach of a baby and then you left the baby alone in a room," stated Audrey while her face was pale and her voice trembled.

" yes ... that's right "just when she was halfway through Anna realized how dangerous the situation was and without thinking twice they both began to run

"My son" "Young Master" shouted the duo of women as they ran full speed towards the room of the ninth concubine.

Because Audrey was faster then Anna she was ahead by only A few seconds followed by Anna.

When Audrey saw the door, she slammed it open almost breaking the door.

The first thing she saw was Alexander about to drink the potion and without hesitation, she rushed towards him.

Alexander, on the other hand, was scared and involuntarily uttered in a childish voice "Audrey".
