When I woke up I noticed that morning has already passed and wonder why no one woke me up. As I get up from my bed I noticed a bowl of water with a towel on my table so I picked it up and washed myself with it after a few minutes of doing that I begin to dress myself up and walk to the dining room. While I was walking I noticed that there's no people around the halls. No maids, no guards just utter silence.

I for some reason got a cold shiver as I somehow feel that someone was watching me and I started to run towards to front door to escape this so-called nightmare of mine but in fact it was all just a prank by my little sister as I heard her laugh out loud and say "B-Brother, *snickers* yo-" before she finishes what she says I smacked her head out of annoyance as I got really scared on what will happen.

"Hey you do know that it's bad using your illusion magic just for laughs. What if someone gets hurt?!" I said to her admonishingly as I smacked her head again as I said that and leave in anger as I proceed to the Dining Room while grumbling. Once I reach the Dining Room I proceed to my seat and noticed that my little sister is crying while being carried by a maid and she gave me a glare as I ignored it.

When I finished eating I rushed out of the Dining Room and go out to the courtyard to practice both my body and sword. So that my foundation will be firm and stable so that I could learn more sword techniques, hand-to-hand combat, footwork, and also the flexibility of my body.

So 5 years as passed as I became a young kid to a young strapping*cough* teenager with lean toned muscles and a long crimson hair. Now that I am approacing my birthday which is also my coming of age ceremony(I am 15 years old now by the way) I still saw maids and butlers preparing the venue and cleaning up the room where we will receive the guests and saw the guards and knights doing their combat drill and practicing if there will be a conflict coming.

I began to have sparring sessions with the guards and knights each and everyday for the past 5 years so I can say that my sword skill is up to far to a Great Knight or a Grand Knight as most of the knights here are either a Great Knight or a Grand Knight. There's also a 5 Gold Knights protecting my whole family so that will be a deterrent for the assassins and party crushers. Hours gone by and it's now night as I dress my enchanted clothes that my Mother gave to me as a gift which looks badass and cool when I wear it and my father gave me a goddamn cool sword so I wear it on my hips.

Once I dressed up I began to walk to the reception area with my Mother as she began to congratulate me. I smiled at that as I for the second time in my life experienced a boundless famial love, Mother stopped talking when we reach the door to the reception area. The guards anounce our arrival as we began to walk to the center of the reception area with my Mother and I noticed that most of the women and young girls here looking at me with that hungry look of theirs.

This tale has been unlawfully lifted from Royal Road. If you spot it on Amazon, please report it.

I had a cold sweat and a shiver when I saw that so I look straight ahead and keep my game face on lest my Mother noticed my troubled look as this is my birthday. With that 30 minutes passed by as they finished introducing theirselves and they began to socialize and dance, I am afraid of socializing with them as I haven't talked that much to many people so I sometimes nod in agreement or say "Yes", "I see", "I understand", and so on.

While I was drinking wine on the corner of the reception area I noticed a blue haired girl on the balcony looking at the moon so I walked there while looking at her face. Her face looks beautiful with long blue hair, crimson eyes, and a long blue dress with necklaces on. "The moon looks beautiful isn't it, Sir?" she said to me and I responded back "Yes, it is. Just like the stars in the sky blooming their beauty for us to see." I cringe a little when I said that and I heard her introduce herself "My name is Jacques d'Avrea, my Lord." she did a curtsy bow when she said that and I introduced myself while bowing "My name is Karl Dracov. Your future husband." I cringed a lot, really. Why did I fucking said that? FUCK! Now we have an awkward air around us as I hanged my head in shame.

I noticed her laugh as she looks at me and damn hell I were mesmerized by the scene. Her laughing with the moonlight shining down complimenting her blue hair and crimson eyes, I was stunned by it. I am speechless as she continues to laugh her heart out as I began to chuckle at that display. "Now now, Milady. Stop laughing so hard if you don't want to get marry early." I said to her as I heard her respond back "Well, my lord. It seems like you're a good guy I think. Probably? Must be my imagination. Hmm" as she had that pondering look with her chin resting on her hand while looking at me. I gave her the eye while she was doing that.

I looked back at the room and saw that another musician is getting ready to play a song so I look back at Jacques and said "So Milady, care to give your husband the first dance?" I smiled at her as I wait for her reply "Yes yes, My Lord. I shall grant you that dance." she smiled at me sweetly as she hoist her arm with me and we began to walk to the ballroom and began to dance.

With that an hour passed by as I noticed the crowd formed a circle around us as we dance with each other like there's tomorrow and I heard the music stopped. I hunged my head down in embarassment as I noticed Jacques looking at me sweetly and tenderly that if someone touches me I'll break. "That was a good dance, Milady. A very good dance." I said to her as I can't think of any sweet lines to say. WHY DIDN'T I WATCHED THOSE CRINGY AND CORNY ASS ROMANCE SHOWS?! 

"Yes indeed, well then I must now say my farewell, My lord. As me and my family needs to come back to the capital now." she smiled sadly at me as I noticed that reluctant look so I look for any keepsake to give to her and I noticed that I had one in my pocket as I bought it when I was strolling the town so I gave it to her.

It is a aqua brooch, perfect for her. As I saw her leave the reception area with a sad look, music began to play and nobles starts to dance. I walk to my Mother and said "Mother, I am going to retire to my room now. I am tired." I smiled at her weakly as she nods back and said "Okay sweetie, go and take a rest. You will be going to the academy now." I nod at her and began to walk to my room and sleep
