In another room.
In the window a 2 years old toddler was focused watching the outside while thinking deeply. He saw the two moons that glowing to this darky night.
He saw many flowers and trees that their leaves were swaying because of wind.
In the outside of the gate, many house still open their lamp that dazzling to this dark night and many folks can be seen doing their own things as their still many people awake even though it was already night.
Theo felt shiver out of nowhere and begin sweating in his back. He looked to his surround instinctively but nothing there.
“Why I felt shiver in my whole body and began sweating?!” Theo was confused to the weird happening to his body and his instinct tell him something dangerous may happen to him.
he let go this unnecessary thought and maybe he was only thinking paranoid. He set his eyes again to the outside.
“I’m curious as to what it looks outside” Theo said looking to the dazzling light in the market.
Maybe in the future he might had a chance to go outside and he expecting the time where he going to the academy because that when he will go outside to travel and for him to sightseeing this world. Theo was curious to the difference of this world and to the world his past life.
He was also curious if this world the same to the novel he always read about transmigrating and he was the main character here that he needed to do his duty in this world. Theo was overestimating himself.
He vanished this unnecessary thought because this was a real life and he was alive. He was afraid that he became arrogant if he thought like this and became like young master killed by main character or became stepping stone by someone and he doesn’t want to be killed for no reason.
“Anyway, Light or who is the entity that given me a chance I’m very thankful that you give me a chance to redeem myself. I will make sure to give this favor by preaching to the people here your kindness and might” Theo said shamelessness, he felt thankful to the light that heard his voice and let him reborn. He was atheist to begin with but he changed his mind when he experienced death well nothing will lose to him by doing good things and preaching.
Theo was expecting to his future and he hope that it was better than his past life.
Theo heard something outside the door as he looked to the door. A slow footstep can be heard coming to his room.
Theo was alerted and hurriedly go to his bed to sleep and acted like he is sleeping. If he was caught awake late at night and the maid told his mother, he will be dead meat.
A maid with a candle on his hand past by to his room and she opened the door to notice the window was open wide, she went to it to close the window and she left after she done closed the window.
Theo opened his eyes slowly. He saw that the maid already left and no one here. He sighed relief when the maid left.
Something came to his mind that he wanted to do because he didn’t feel sleepy and wanted to read something.
‘Hm i should go to library maybe I can find something interesting to read and pass my time’ Theo thought and silently began walking to the library without being noticed.
----------------------------------------
In the library.
This many months, he always went to the library to read more information about Ambiens kingdom and the surrounding kingdom or learn kilan language for him to became proficient to this language as much as possible.
This is a public library to the house of Azert that even servant can access also to the book in this library. Of course, there also private library but you need permission of the lord clan to access that private library because every book there is very important than the book here.
When he opened the door, a gorgeous historical architecture and a big library that so elegant with many large wooden shelves and a lot of books that even you use your whole life, you cannot even finish reading the whole book here.
He delighted and excited that no one in the library today late of night.
In his eyes this is a treasure trove of knowledge that so priceless and knowing something means you had advantage to others. By staying here for months or years even idiot can become scholar or knowledgeable person.
It’s been many months since he read many books here about Bared Island so he had idea or knowledge about this Island.
He looked to this huge library. He felt weak looking at it by how many books here.
‘I already dead before I can finish reading the book of this library, I should read the most important to me than unnecessary book that didn’t help at all’ he thought. As he was looking to this library, he felt headache knowing how many books infront of him and finding the most important of him also take time.
Gradually he looked over that important to him and the things he was curious at, he read it for about four hours on the table.
After four hours of reading, he began to felt sleepy and want to go in his room to sleep. “Maybe I need to go in my room because it was already late of night or else I might be caught here” he said to himself.
Unlawfully taken from Royal Road, this story should be reported if seen on Amazon.
He went back to the shelves where he took the book he read and he looked to where he has been to look if left behind evidence that might caught him.
While Theo preparing to leave, he thought something ‘I hope I can also read something to the private library but I think It was impossible because how important the knowledge there’ he felt pity.
He sighed because he should wait for many years and became the lord of the clan before he can read something there. He started preparing to leave. Tomorrow night he will continue to what he stopped today and learn something new.
For a moment as he was already leaving, something caught his attention from his left side. A shelve that he still didn’t look at before. He noticed a book that its design was so unique to what others book he seen here before; it was laying down in the shelve like it was there for a long time. A white book that covered design is like a flowers and roots with a weird letter in every side and a golden letter infront, it was written in kilan language.
Theo heart began intensely pumping out of nowhere and his forehead began sweating.
His 5 senses warning him that white book will change his life and his understanding to this world will change that he cannot imagine.
But as the saying so “Curiosity killed the cat”.
He slowly walked near to the shelve where the book at. He felt nervous out of nowhere. He took the white book as he cleaned the dusk infront of the white book and he saw the title that written to Kilan language.
‘De Virtues’ he read the title of the white book.
He went to the nearest desk for him to sit and read the book.
He opened the book slowly while shaking subconsciously because of nervousness.
he resolute himself to read the white book and not to be afraid.
For a moment of opening the book first page, he cannot move his whole body and white particles went to his eyes that shocked and surprised him as he didn’t expect something like this will happen. While the white particles went to his eyes so fast, the eyes of Theo were look of terror and fright because to this weird book. The book glowed for seven times with different color. The book was becoming particle slowly like ashes that was fading as it went along to the white particles to go in to the eyes of Theo. As time went by, he felt tired and just wanted to sleep.
After a few minutes of this weird situation the book already went through to his eyes, his head hit the table as he was fainted suddenly.
His eyes closed and he slept on the desk soundly while the white book already gone.
----------------------------------------
The next day, early morning.
The sun is rising. The sound of chicken can be heard outside and the bird was chirping lively.
In the library of the Azert house.
A servant came inside to the library with sweeper on her hand to clean the surrounding of library.
“This will take long to clean up” the servant mumbled. she marvels the beautiful library for a second and she started after to begin cleaning up.
She cleaned every corner in the library and organize the book in the shelves while also reading if she had time.
She noticed not from a far of him that there someone on the desk in the corner, she saw a toddler was sleeping soundly on the desk.
She was shocked and surprised because she knew who the toddler that sleeping on the desk. She was confused why young master theo is sleeping on the desk and not to his room.
“Young master Theo, wake up” She carefully waking up Theo while she looked worried to this kid.
Theo was woken up by the voice of the servant as he slowly opening his eyes and he realized that he was sleeping in the library. He looked to servant infront of him and he look around confuse as to why he was here.
“Why I’m in the library?” he looked confused and wondering why he was sleeping in the library.
The servant was more confused when she heard Theo said as to why he didn’t know he was sleeping in the library.
For a few seconds, a memory flooded in his head that he felt headache. He remembered what happened that night but it was vague when the book white particle went through his eyes.
He was dazed for a moment, but he noticed that the book vanished and it’s not on the desk.
“Where did the book go?” Theo asked the woman servant. He was puzzled for the disappearance of the white book.
“Did you saw any book on my desk?” Theo asked the servant if she saw any book on his desk while he was sleeping.
“No, I didn’t saw any book on the desk when I saw you sleeping young master” the servant said truthfully.
Theo felt that the servant didn’t lie to him. He was confused and unease when he remembered that weird happened to him as it was his first experience to happen at him.
Theo was puzzled because he cannot remember the word that was written in the book but he only remembered that his emotion was changing and his facial expression but he doesn’t remember what emotion he expressed and his facial expression. He was also puzzled as to why the book vanished out of nowhere.
After a few moments. He sighed and not thinking about it because he knew nothing will change worrying something that he cannot even remember everything.
He got up and prepared to leave or else he might be caught by his mother that he slept in the library.
“Thank you for waking me up and sorry for interrupting your work” Theo showed a thankful manner to the servant and he apologize like it was a normal that he should do.
“Young master you should not apologized to this lowly servant. I just doing my duty” the servant said respectfully. she was a bit surprised and felt embarrassed that the young lord was treating her like she was equal to him.
The servant was not very surprised to the manner of Theo to him because everybody in the house including the people outside, known Theo for his good manner to the normal people and treat other like equal to him. It’s like normal to him and that he should do that to others.
He also didn’t act childish like 2 years old should be but he acts like an adult because of that everyone in the house including outside had respect to Theo even though he was only 2 years old.
“Can you please keep this secret to my mother, if she known this it will hard for me to go in library next time” Theo said while pleading that she will keep secret this between them.
The woman servant was shocked and surprised internally by the way Theo speak to him.
“I… i will do my best young master to keep my mouth shut” the servant felt hesitant for a moment as she respectfully said it after. She was anxious internally to what she must do to this situation.
“Thank you, I will go now. Bye!” Theo said goodbye to the woman servant and began to leave in the library.
The servant bowed when Theo left to the library.
While he was walking in the hallway, he sneakily went to his room like a ninja without noticing.
When he was inside of his room, he heaved sighed relief because he didn’t catch by his mother or servants except to that girl in the library.
For some reason, Theo inherited the childness personality of a toddler. Even though theo was mentally adult, his body was a toddler and that affect his personality.
Theo heard a footstep outside that coming to his room.
He hurriedly went to his bed and acted sleeping soundly.
Bianca stayed behind the door and respectfully said to Theo.
“Young master Theo it’s time for breakfast, you need to ready to go in the dining room. Lady Eliza, lord Heiner, lord Ulrich and the other main family Azert is also coming in the dining room” Bianca said.
Theo acted getting up and he answered “yes, I’m coming wait for a moment”.
He began hurriedly wore new clothes. After he done changing his clothes, he opened the door slowly and he saw that Bianca were waiting for him.
“Thank you for waiting Bianca. let’s go to the dining room” Theo said.
They went hurriedly to the dining room as they were already late.
