Chapter 54: He is a prince

Chapter 54: He is a prince

One year ago, somewhere in the 4th prince palace in the Misial Kingdom.

"I told you to bring me more of it!! I need more!!!.Get me that mine right now!!"

4th prince Beldorth went crazy because of the new mine his father found, and he was making a mess all over the palace to take it.

"Prince, Please calm down. The knight will talk about this matter with the king."

A group of maids was trying to calm him down because he had already broken a lot of valuable things in his room.

The 4th prince was a greedy, selfish and ruthless killer. He kills whoever he wants, whenever he wants.

His father the king became furious, but for the sake of the reputation of the royals to the public, he gave him the diamond mine.

Thus, he became more spoiled.

But he was a genius and a talented magician. Kingdom's only 5th circle magician when he was only 14 years old.

He thought that he was the only one powerful and he could rule his kingdom on his father's throne one day. And then he can take over other kingdoms as well with his powers. He was aiming to become an emperor.

A few months before the Lyfrone Academy exam, he found out about its existence, and decided to study there. But there was no chance of getting in without examination.

He became angry and decided that he will take over the academy with his power.

When he came to the academy, he was in the middle of the attention. His magic, his charm, his intelligence, he charmed everyone around him. And he manipulated everyone with the new ring he found. Everyone was under his feet except for one person.

Even if he was in the centre of everyone's attention, Viktor was the person who took first place, he was way better than him at casting magic spells. He was treated as the school's ground-breaking genius who performed everything perfectly. While Viktor was in the spotlight, he was clapping his hands and grinding his teeth backstage. He was so angry that he wanted to kill him on the spot, but it wasn't possible.

So, he made a plan and proposed a friendly relationship with Viktor. But his inner thoughts were saying that he would kill him by any means.

Some days later, an unfortunate occurrence happened. His ring was stolen by someone from the dormitory. But he didn't report it to any teacher because if they find any source from the ring which was used as a weapon, he will get expelled from the school.

So, for the sake of his safety, he didn't report it to anyone and made a countermeasure to kick Viktor out of the school by framing him as a thief.

But his plans failed before they made any progress. Viktor caught him off guard and he saw through his mind.

How did he know about me? There's no person here who knows about me. I came here with my knight and he left the day I applied for the exam. Then who?

There's absolutely no one who knows about my identity on this continent and yet, he addressed me as a prince.

No, I can't give up like this. There's a high chance that he stole my ring. He has so many friends in this academy, so it must be him, or someone from his friend circle.

He left the library by making a huge mess in the musical department.

Meanwhile in the Music club.

Clap!! Clap!! Clap!! Clap!!

"This year's junior is really talented in so many activities! Tell me Viktor, where did you learn to play the violin like that perfectly? I heard that you are a commoner right? Are you perhaps a secret child from a noble family or something?"

Mu Shen was really curious because he only showed him how to play the song he was looking through this morning once and he already mastered it.

"Hahaha! No, I'm a commoner who grew up in an orphanage and worked as a stable worker until I was 14."

"I see. You must be the genius born in Ethas every century." (Ethas= The name of the planet like "Earth")

"You're faltering m,e Senior. Oh! Look at the time! I have to go now. The class will start in 2 minutes."

"Eh? Just how careless you are? 2 minutes? You really need to keep a track of your time."

"I will, thank you for today!" n)/0velBIn

Viktor ran towards his class and saw his teacher was already present.

"Viktor, it's the 12th time already. What were you doing?"

His teacher stopped writing on the board and told him to stand still for the entire period.

Tsk!-_- . My darn habit.

An elf girl from the backseat poked on his back to show him something in the book.

"Ahem!! Viktor. Can you tell me what it means?"

"It's Azolari. A plant that grows on the water."

"Oh, I see. Thank you."

It was written there, so why did she ask me? And I don't understand something about this subject. Why do we have to learn about plants when we are learning engineering?

"Let's stop for today. We will have a simple class test tomorrow."

A test, I see. I don't have any time to think about that. I need to search for the ring first. Then the signal I got from the library. I need to find out the source of that.

Back at home.

-I realized something after hanging around with people after my death. The fact that I'm dead is the very first thing that came to my mind.

Every person who's alive and didn't experience near death are all the same. They are silly, stupid, greedy, selfish and foolish. They don't think about death even if they are 80 years old or 90.

I tried to make friends with so many people but it didn't even work. I can't feel the attraction, the urge to talk with a person. My soul wants to rest, my mind wants to rest. But this body is keeping me away from doing that.

The crests around my body make me feel uncomfortable when I'm thinking about leaving everything behind. It is always reminding me that I have something really important to do. And for that reason, I have to use my crests as much as possible so that my body can learn how to handle that power.

So, I unlocked all the chains of every book above every person's head. If I want to do what the crest is telling me to do, I have to gather as much information as I can. I read his record if the person is suspicious, I read her record if she comes closer to me with a hidden intention with food or book or whatever.

I guess I finally gave up being a human.

"Master, your bed is ready."

"Oh, Adonis. How was your day today?"

"Fine, master. But it's 11 already. You have to sleep."

"Yes, I'll be going to bed now. Oh, listen. Tomorrow is weakened right? We will visit the city for the entire day."

"Yes, master. I will prepare for our visit tomorrow. Good night master."

"Good night."

Adonis left the room with a lamp in his hand.

Tomorrow, I will take another side character into our house.
