The Third Prince Of Darkness

"Does this bother you? Majesty" I said with a polite smile.

"No. I was just curious about what you were reading" said Fiona, not giving any hint of her arrogant expression.

"I was reading something about the Grand Wizard Kaiser." I said. Since most children were raised with the legends and stories written about Kaiser, it was quite natural for a child to be curious about him.

After looking at me for a while, the ring in her hand fell to the ground, and when I looked at the ring, I could tell it was quite expensive, but what caught my attention more was that Fiona did this deliberately, and I didn't understand why. A maid slowly picked up the ring from the ground as if she wanted to show it to me on purpose. It was a large green emerald.

"Oh, if I lose this ring, my husband might be upset. He gave it to me on our wedding anniversary" said Fiona, slowly slipping the ring back onto her finger.

"Does your father give such gifts to your mother?" Fiona continued.

'Ah, now I understand...'

"I don't know, Your Majesty. I'm not interested in such things. Now, if you'll excuse me, I'd like to continue reading my book" I said.

When Fiona turned and left the library as if she had lost interest, I was really about to feel sick. Honestly, she was probably expecting me to see the ring and later tell my mother about it. 'Oh my God,' I sighed. I wondered if my father was blind, but most likely, Fiona was wearing a mask in front of my father, so he couldn't see this side of her.

She was truly a pathetic woman, and unless I get rid of her, she could create great dangers for me.

I hate women who try to give meaning to their existence with worthless stones. Because they have an inferiority complex, the only things they think will make them valuable are such meaningless actions. I will let Fiona satisfy her fragile ego for now, but when the time comes, I will definitely make her suffer.

Anyway, since I no longer felt like it, I got up to leave the library and went outside with Emilia. Honestly, I didn't have any bodyguards other than Emilia, and the obvious reason was that I couldn't trust anyone in the palace.

I do this because I suspect Fiona in many matters and because she has too much power over the palace staff; I worry that my still weak body might be the target of an assassination.

I hope with all my heart that I will awaken with actual strength on the day of my awakening. But of course, I will need to hide my power at first. From my readings about the awakening day, I learned that no one from the outside is allowed to enter and it's completely forbidden for anyone to interfere with the awakening day.

When the awakening occurs, my parents will probably watch me from behind a glass, and I'm sure Fiona will be watching me too.

After all, the result at the Fate Water ceremony was quite interesting, and Fiona was definitely curious about my potential. I have a plan to hide my power for now, but I'm not sure about it. During the awakening, children usually cannot control their power and use their powers uncontrollably, which continues until the child faints.

For example, a child who controls lightning will emit small lightning bolts around when the awakening is completed, but they cannot control it. In this way, the awakened person's power, special abilities, and the element they are close to are learned.

Here is my plan: if an overpowered power emerges, I will hide and control it. Of course, this will probably be very difficult, but since I have been researching this for months, I have theoretically learned how to control your power.

While I was thinking about my plans, sweet laughter from a girl suddenly reached my ears, and I could easily guess who she was.

"Kayle, slow down!" I shouted, but Kayle didn't seem to hear me and ran towards me, wrapping her arms around me. The force of the collision caused me to fall to my bottom. Kayle was Isabella's only child, and since I saw her often as a baby, I have somewhat gotten used to her boundless affection.

When I looked behind Kayle, I saw Violet with her cheeks puffed out. It was clear that she was jealous of Kayle, but she didn't say it because of her shy nature. Violet is Lucina's daughter, meaning she is my biological sister, and since Violet couldn't make any friends other than me and Kayle, she is quite attached to us. Over time, I also learned that she has a very fragile heart.

"Will you finally tell us where you disappear to in the mornings?" Kayle asked.

Honestly, since I wanted to stay quiet and alone in the library, I could never tell an energetic girl like her about it. Even though I was sure she would keep quiet, I couldn't tell Violet either, because she would most likely tell Kayle right away.

"I'll never tell you, just forget it..." I said.

"Then I'll follow you tomorrow and find out where you go myself," said Kayle with a smug grin on her face. Fortunately, I had thought about this before and used some secret passages to get to the library, but I decided not to go to the library tomorrow. I knew how talented this girl was.

"Do whatever you want," I said and quickly pushed her off my lap. I noticed some maids looking at us strangely, and even though I didn't care about the maids, there was no need for Fiona to know how close I was to Kayle.

"Do you know where my mother is?" I asked.

"Yes, she is having tea with my mother" said Kayle.

"Then I'm going to join them," I said and started walking. Suddenly, Violet blocked my way. I looked at my usually shy sister in surprise. She looked at me with slightly flushed cheeks.

"You promised to play football with me" she said.

"Oh yes, I promise I'll play with you later," I said, patting her head. Even though there was almost a five-year gap between us, it looked like I was her older brother.

"Pinky promise!" she said, extending her small, slightly trembling finger.

"Pinky promise," I said, and squeezed her finger. When I saw the silly grin on her face, I couldn't help but chuckle. Hearing this, Violet puffed her cheeks cutely. Unconsciously, my hands squeezed her cheeks until they started to turn red.

By the way, football hadn't been invented in this world, and I created it to spend time with my sister. Now that I think about it, this could be an investment that will bring me money and fame in the future. Anyway, when I taught football to my sister, both Violet and Kayle really liked this new and unusual game. Before long, it became an activity we played regularly for fun

"Hey, that hurt" she said, but when I saw Kayle's mischievous look behind me, I hurried away to get out of there.

…..

When I reached the garden, I saw two women smiling and chatting with each other. Over time, my mother and Isabella got on very well and became good friends. It was clear that my mother realized her prejudices against Isabella were not true. Perhaps Violet and Kayle, being close friends, also played a role in this. I immediately ran towards my beautiful mother and sat on her lap.

"Welcome, little prince. Did you learn anything today?" Luciana asked.

"Yes, a lot," I said, and leaned back against my mother with a grin. Ah, the warmth of the two soft mountains on my head. This could be the best therapy. Unfortunately, I was quite depressed since I no longer drank that honeyed milk, but I was very happy right now.

"Bou bro!" When I looked to my right, I saw the little baby holding my arm with her tiny fingers. This was my new little sister, who was two years old and had black hair and blue eyes, making her a very cute baby.

"It looks like my baby wants to sit on my lap" said Luciana, lifting me from her lap and placing me on a chair. Then, as she took her onto her lap, despite her sweet smile, I looked at her with resentment. "Damn sister, how can you steal my beautiful warm fluffy mountains from me? And you are the only one who drinks that divine honeyed milk! Greedy, Definitely greedy!„

I was almost about to cry because of my feelings when I didn't even notice someone pulling me onto their lap.

"How? Is it as comfortable as your mom's?" Isabella asked with a gentle smile and she placed her own soft mounds on my head. When I looked at Isabella, I could swear I saw a goddess with white wings for a second!
