"Y-your h-h--highness, This-- this--" the voice stuttered trying to explain but failed to do so. I tried to turn my little body only to be picked up by a maid, as the maid picked me up. I could see the crib that I slept in. My brother was still inside the crib, shaking real hard and looked at me, like an abandoned kitten.
Cute... What if I--- no, no, no, It's a big taboo to turn a flesh member into art.
I slapped the face of the maid holding me, though it looked like I was being bratty to them.
Whatever, I need this maid, now, asap!
"Aaadaa, da," I said to the maid then pointed at my twin. My voice was louder than expected, more like, the room was way too silent that when I spoke it echoed through the room.
A baby's voice broke the silence.
The whole crowd looked at Alhine, their expression weird. There are whom looked at her with pity, there are those smiled evilly at her, then her mother looked at her anxiously.
And one person looked at her warmly, unknown to others.
"!!?" I looked at the source of 'weird feelings' I expected it to be my Mother. But instead of my Mother, there stood a man with long green hair reaching his shoulders, and menacingly golden eyes, his brows relaxed, he wore simple robes, but he exalted elegance and aloofness, making him stand out of the crowd.
"Aaah!! Aah!!" Palleo could not hold his tears and cry loudly. The Emperor frowned, he looked thoughtfully then walked forward, intending to go to Palleo.
"Aaaaah!!! Maaaaa!!!!!aaahuuuu!!" Palleo cried more loudly when he saw the man closing towards him.
"Y-your Highness!! Please pardon the prince, he's still an infant!!" My mom suddenly bowed and asked in a pleading voice. 'Woah, does she really think, that this man is so cold-hearted as to punish an infant? And... Didn't he love you? seems legit...'
... Ah, yes some people just got the hobby.
"Uuuuuhh!! Aaaah!" Palleo continued to cry, then the green haired man continued to walk towards him, my Mother was trembling, visibly worried about Palleo. Then when he passed by us, he gave me a quick glance, that no one had (probably) noticed.
"Auuu,aah?" I extended my chubby hands towards as if wanting to be carried. The green haired man stared at me with wide eyes, completely shocked at my actions.
As I extended my hands, Palleo stopped crying and looked at me. The other people gasped at my action, and some of them even snickered.
"Meartle." The Emperor called my mom, but his eyes are glued to me.
What? You looking at? huh?! you punk!!
"Y-yes?" She answered nervously and lifted her head a bit.
"Have you bestowed her a name, yet?" He said, still looking at me, but now the way he looks at me is, it was as if, I was some kind of new specie.
Is he perhaps the father (in flesh) of mine? well, I'll definitely make him payback for the humiliation that he gave my mother then(?) or should I?
"Yes, This one has bestowed her a name, Phicia Alhine Re Moztier." My mother said proudly, as she unconsciously lifted her big breast.
"Hmmm..... Why Phicia Alhine?" He asked shifting his gaze to my mom. Now the previous tension rose up. And the woman, whom I assume that argue with my Mother had her lips curved into a sinister smile.
Hey, yo' it's just a name?
"Th-that is--" She said clearly nervous, shifting her gaze from me to my (assumed) father.
"Aaaa, Aaaah." I flailed my chubby hands towards the green haired man, catching his attention.
"hmm?" He looked at me, his previous coldness gone. But the more shocking thing is.... He actually SMILED.
It was like, WTF?! you can actually smile?!
At this moment, I could sense a killing intent, it's not from the green haired man, it was only for a moment, but-- It was a very murderous aura, and it could be a pain in the ass if I let it be.
For shit's sake, seriously? Though that killing intent wasn't as thick as Mandrick's, for your momma's shit, I'm only months old?! How am I supposed to handle this? Where's my portable grandpa? Loli? Whatever guardian that guarantees my safety?!?
"Are you perhaps hungry?" The green haired man said, as he extended his hands and picked me up. But as he picked me up--
This act of him did surprise many, who don't know that this man has treated his own children indifferently as if they were just pawns, and now he shows this kind of attitude?! Who would not be bewildered?
"Aaaaaaaah!!! AaaaaH!!!AAAA!!!!AAAAAAHH!!" Palleo cried out-loud, and started to throw a tantrum.
"How Improper!! To throw a tantrum, and whats more in-front of his highness?!" The woman with poop-like hair glared at my mom.
Oh, lady, you're being too straightforward...
"Meartle, come with me." My (assumed) father said, his smile gone, ignoring the woman with poop-like hair as he started to depart. My mother took Palleo and just looked at the ground as she followed behind my (assumed) Father. As we were walking, My (assumed) father played with my cheeks non-stop. !! F*CKING !!!stop touching my cheeks!! What would you do if it gets stretched?!!
I could only helplessly curse inside my head.
No servants or whatever followed us, Palleo was trying his best not to cry, and my mom continued to coax Palleo. After a few minutes, Palleo fell asleep. After a very long walk, but not as long as the previous one. We stopped at a very big but mesmerizing door.
My (assumed) father opened the big door with ease, the door was made with an ancient wood I pressume it's over 70 meters wide and over hundred meter's tall...
huh.. okay I'm taking back my words about this guy............
★★A tiny bit of flash back★★(at the Royal Room, where they should have gotten a tutor)
A/n: the * used beside the "I" means she thinks highly of herself or addresses herself as "This Queen" something like that.
Asceria McMirn Fe Grogornia POV:
*I, Asceria McMirn Fe Grogornia was born in the Imperial family, *I was always treated with love and care. *I topped all of my studies and became a Level 5 Magician at the age of 24. *I was betrothed to the crown prince ( Joseph Clayde Re Moztier ) before birth and married him at the age of 25. My husband Joseph Clayde Re Moztier, treated me very well.
But all of that was before he became the king, *I thought *I knew him well, his plans, his movements, and everything. But what *I actually saw was just a facade. He didn't trust me, *I was his wife! We were betrothed! we knew each other since childhood!! and yet he didn't trust me!!He was very charming and considering his position as a Crown Prince, many women flirted with him every day. But he didn't neglect me, he showed me that he loved me, even though he got a concubine, that wasn't because he loved them, rather it was because he was forced to, he needed power desperately, although my family supports him, it wasn't enough to assure him that he'll take the throne.
This text was taken from Royal Road. Help the author by reading the original version there.
After he became the Emperor he got a concubine but it was another marriage that he couldn't decline, or so I think. But what's frustrating is, after months past, he got another concubine, this time it was NOT forced. He genuinely loved the woman!! The woman came from a deteriorating Noble Family, their once glorious fame has been left behind.
I did everything to harass her, but He always interfered, always always always always always always always always always always!! Just what is it that caught his attention? what is it that she has, that I don't?
I Loathed her, but I cannot Loath him. I loved him, what can I do?
And right now, just like always he interfered.
My one and only son Marco Fayle Re Moztier was having a difficulty at writing so, *I decided that he should get another tutor.
When we arrived, 'She' was there, my archenemy, the one who snatched my beloved. As I saw her my anger flared up, and my head was full of things that will make one writhe in pain.
I glared at her and...
hat?! How is that possible?!
My anger immediately dissolved, and it was replaced with shock.
How could those twins be alive?! I was sure that I personally poisoned them!!
How? Just how?! Was it him again?! My heart became utterly depressed. And just glared at the woman.
When I looked closer, both the twins were fast asleep, seems like the heaven is on my side. Afterall bringing a sleeping child in an Imperial Room? It's as if she's asking to be humiliated.
I walked towards her, leaving my son to his retailer. When she saw me walking towards her, I could see anxiousness, panic, and anger in her eyes.
"Greetings, Oh, beautiful Queen." she said and gave me her smile, the other servants bowed, except the maid who was holding a baby.
"Well, well, no need to be polite. I just wanted to confirm something." I narrowed my eye and looked at the sleeping boy in the servant's arms, then shifted to the girl in the maid's arm.
I smiled mockingly at her and said in a mocking voice "It seems like I was right."
"Wh-what do you mean?!" she said, and backed a few paces, her retailer had a really ugly look on his face.
"Bringing a sleeping child in the sacred Imperial Room?! Do you still have shame? Does this majestic room look like your bedroom? Ah, so envious~ as expected of his Majesty's 'favorite concubine.'" I sarcastically said.
"*ahem* Pardon us your highness, but it is not what you think." I looked at the retainer, he was rather calm.
"*haah*! well, I'm just being concerned. I just didn't want my son to be affected by insects and *I suggest that *you should leave this place as soon as possible." I glared at her, turned my back and ignored the F'cking pest.
The Retainer was--
Fang Liu.
He was a famous scholar, even my father praised him, I heard he's method is merciless, always cold and indifferent, but now here he is. Standing beside a mere concubine. With his abilities, it wouldn't be impossible to at least acquire a title of a noble.
Just how did his Majesty persuade him? Rumours had it that he became a scholar because of his thirst for knowledge--
Don't tell me--- My mind flashed with a very horrifying thought. Ha, there's no way that his Majesty would give anyone outside the Royal blood an access to the Feynier Library, right?
Even if he is the Emperor, there are other several Ancestors inside this Empire, there's no way that he'll risk his position just for this woman right?
As I understood it, I could only grit my teeth and pull out. I saw the 3rd concubine, really, the heavens haven't forsaken me. I quickly approached her, when she saw me she gave a curtsied bow.
"Greetings, Royal Queen," she said smilingly, and on her back was the princess. She originally had 3 children, 2 princes and this princess in front of me. As for what happened to the first two princes... They might have been exterminated by that group, as I doubt that those children came from his Majesty.
I think even this Princess will soon be cleaned.
I gave her a small nod of acknowledgment and passed by her, I whispered something that only she could hear. 'humiliate the stain of the royal family'
She gave me a small nod and trotted towards the woman.
"Oh my, if it isn't the pest-- I mean the 5th Concubine." her voice was loud enough that even the servants working inside the Imperial Room heard her, they all looked at the 3rd concubine and 5th concubine.
Although they are mere servants, they still have great reputations, each of them has statuses that could rival a Noble. These servants are mostly envoys from the kingdoms under the Fidea Empire. News of this would travel quite fast.
".........." Fang Liu whispered something to the 'woman' then 'she' ignored the 3nd concubine's provocation.
"Hmmp!! Ignoring me? You really have no respects do you?" The 'woman' once again ignored her, and she put the baby in the imperial crib, which Fang Liu has probably bought over. The maid followed suit as she also put the other baby together.
My brows knitted together. Have they gone insane?! I already rebuked them and they actually had the guts to bring a crib and let the child sleep?!
A/n" the so-called royal crib is as big as an adult-sized bed.
"Your Highness, this is not a time for this kind of farce." Fang Liu said and gave a sharp look.
As Fang Liu said that. a cold chill crept out of me.
"hmpph!! Now even a retailer shows no respect to a member of Imperial Family?! Good!" She said and flashed symbols with her hand.
"This is what you deserve..." she said her face grim.
6th rank spell, blizzard beheader!! she's overdoing it again!!
All of my anger vanished and was replaced with anxiety. I quickly grabbed my son and wanted to leave here as soon as possible but it was already too late.
A thundering voice rang out as a majestic aura boomed.
"STOP THIS FARCE NOW!!" It was a voice of command, like a deity ordering mortals.
The aura suppressed most of the people inside the room, including me. The spell that the 3rd concubine was about to release was forcefully stopped, causing the 3rd concubine to spit a mouthful of blood. The maids next to her immediately handed her a handkerchief.
I could only massage my temples and realized that I've once again made him angry. *sigh* I'm such a fool, always blinded by anger.
"Isella Hui Mao and Elxea Meartle Ex Notirio, what kind of childish behavior are you displaying? Is this behavior appropriate for a Re Moztier?" Re Moztier, *sigh* what an obvious lie , if you really cared for the name of the Imperial Family, you wouldn't have married that Woman.
I told my son to stay put, just stand there, and observe.

Back to the current time
Phicia Alhine Re Moztier POV:
We are now alone in the room, as in; ALONE. We were abandoned, my twin and I are--- *Sniff*
NO!! I was just joking, its just that, my mom and my WEIRD father has been talking for almost an hour. And I'm so depressed to REALIZE that I'm so FREAKING powerless.....
It was like, you know? if I compared my current-self and past-me, it was like comparing an elephant to the ant.
Now that I get to really think about it, being born in this kind of environment is shit, I was kinda elated when I knew that this was a Fantasy world-- but seriously? I could die a thousand times before starting to cultivate.
And one more thing, I think I'm going crazy. Maybe due to my loneliness, little imaginary fairies showed up?
What now? I've got a schizophrenia?
Many little people are surrounding me and my twin, they are twirling in front of me, it was like they're showing off, telling us.
'poor human, they can't fly'
"Heyy!! " a fairy with blue-hair and fitted silver dress approached me and flew in front of me. I stared at her for a moment then.
*grab*
"KYAaaaaaaa!!!!" the little fairy shrieked, and other fairies followed. My twin looked at me with wondering eyes and he----
*grabs*
"IYAAAAaaaaaaaaaaH!!" another shriek followed, and I looked at the source of the added shriek. To my amazement, he could also see and grab the fairies!! YAY!! I'm not crazy!!
"Aaah!!?"My twin said as he shook the fairy in his hands, the fairy was completely dizzy. I looked at the fairy in my hand, her face was paler than before, and I could only grin at that.
"DUuuaHH UA" I said as I gently caress the fairy's hair, My twin followed suit and stopped shaking the poor little Fairy. The other fairy whom abandoned the fairy's in our hands came back, but slowly approached us, not as close as earlier though.
I continuously caressed the fairy's hair. When a sudden thought flashed my mind, it was like a clap of thunder. At that short amount of moment, thousands of ideas came through me.
The fairy on my hands, as if sensing my intention, violently trembled.
Just what kind of height would I reach if I make this fairy one of my 'work'?
What if there are demi-humans here, what kind of 'work' could I make them into?
what about dwarves?! it was said to be that dwarves have tough body....then...the--n ...
What if the elves here are real? and if I could.....
And what if there are the beast?........beasts are the best punching bag since they are large and alive.
Just thinking about the blood spraying as I punch a hole.......Its..It---
*BAM*
While I was thinking of fantastic moments, a sudden booming sound interrupted me.
"KYaaaaah!!" the fairy in my hand shrieked as I unconsciously gripped my chubby hands. I let her go, and she immediately flew away.far-far away....where I could not see her.
"Meartle. I, Make the decisions here." My father said as he came out from the other room.
"Clayde..... Just think about it, what if--" My mothers' words were cut off.
"There won't be any 'what ifs' they definitely carry it, I can feel it." My father said as he shifted his gaze to us.......
what? carry what? do you see any luggage here?
Jokes aside, does this mean I have a portable ancestor with me? Something like that?
Do we carry an actually seriously, almost gone ancestral power? Or do we carry an awesome shit power that would make any people green with envy?
Incredulous thoughts swirled inside my head. As tried to make a sense out of my Father's words.
I looked at Pal only to see him still playing with the fairy within his hands....
