A devious thought erupted to him at that moment. "Let`s try this out", he smiled.

Wandering around the mansion he spotted a maid in the utility room, scrubbing the floor, all alone.

She had freckles covering her cheeks and fiery red colored hair, to sum up her appearance she looked very average.

"Hello miss", he said with a charming smile

*blushing*

"Hello young master"

"Do you have a problem?"

"Yes please, I can`t reach a book on a shelf in the library could you please help me?"

"Yes, young master"

Grabbing her gently by the hand he pulled her along to the library choosing a route where they would encounter no-one along the way.

In the library;

He pointed to the nearest shelf, there that book!

She made her way to the book shelf, reaching for it. Engrossed in her task, he silently crept up on her from behind, softly gripped her stationary

left hand.

Within a second, Excruciating pain coursed through her as he forceful channeled his mana in to her blood stream causing it to rampage.

However, she couldn`t scream as he had blocked her cranial nerves.

She looked at him with tear dripping eyes questioning "Why, Young master?"

In response with a cheerful tone he said, "It`s just an experiment, you should be thankful, I am sending you to a better place "

Blooded started dripping from the corners of her eyes and then all of a sudden she went limp, falling to the ground.

*Thud*

With a cold, expressionless look he stared at the lifeless corpse that lay before him, he felt not a tinge of sympathy or grief.

"Well this is going to get messy", he said while he reinforced his right hand with mana.

With a grin, he plunged his hand into her chest cavity .Leisurely forcing his hand towards her heart through all the muscle.

"There it is!"

Grabbing the heart, he furiously ripped it out. Pieces and droplets of blood and muscle sprayed out. He brought the heart close to his mouth, catching its scent, a mild fragrance of still fresh blood.

Biting his teeth lightly in to it, he took a small nibble, slowly chewing to enjoy it`s soft juicy texture.

"Not bad, however lacking in a bit of flavor", he muttered to himself

"That was messy but fun"

"Now, where to hide the body", he thought

"Bingo!"

Channeling his mana to his surrounding he caused the blood to stains overheat and evaporate.

Touching the corpse on the forehead, he vaporized all of the blood inside. Wiping the last of his traces, he dragged the corpse behind one of the shelves and left it there to rot.

He then snuck his way to the garden, avoiding anyone’s sight, where he spent the majority of day developing his awareness and at the same time, creating an alibi for himself.

Of a sudden, he sensed his mother right beside him.

"Mommy, you scared me"

"There you were darling, I was looking everywhere for you, you made mommy really worried"

Her face showed signs of panic.

“Mother is dangerous, I couldn`t even sense her until she got close to me”

Staring at his mother, in a gullible tone he said "Mommy I want to go to sleep"

He was gently lifted off the ground and carried off by her, in the bedroom she laid him in the cot.

"My little prince, you`re going to be 4 yrs. old tomorrow, what would you like?"

"A dog, mommy"

Mother smiled.

"Its sleepy time, darling". Then she switched of the lights and left the room.

The next morning there was a lot of disturbance as panic filled the air, servants scurried around the mansion.

They must have found the corpse, he grinned

His mother, rushed into to his room all of a sudden, gently lifted him.

"Mommy, where are we going?"

"Darling, we are going to stay for a few days at your Aunt Hilda`s place. It`s not safe here"

In front of our mansion a horse carriage was waiting. Their Luggage already loaded, they climbed in.

The journey was 4 hours long, awake throughout the journey. He mediated intently to level up his perception, though his mother thought he was sleeping.

*Ding*

The carriage came to a halt. Getting out of the carriage, in front stood a huge mansion bigger than the ones his parent owned giving off a medieval look.

Right beside the gate women stood.

"That`s Aunt Hilda, i guess"

She came towards them with a smile. Aunt Hilda had a pleasant atmosphere around her and she looked really pretty and had similar looks to mother.

"Twins", he thought to himself.

"Sis you are here", Aunt Hilda spoke

Then she looked towards me, come here my little nephew. He gradually moved towards her and gave off his captivating smile, she suddenly hugged him.

"He looks so adorable".

After a few minutes, she straightened up.

"He will definitely grow up to become a handsome lad, going to break a lot of hearts, sister", she smirked

"Well, now let`s go in"

Suddenly, 4 female servants hurried out of the mansion to carry of our luggage.

Inside the mansion, it was heavily decorated by antiques, gave the mansion and even more medieval type of feel. The mansion consisted of 40+ bedrooms, a big ballroom, and indoor swimming pool. The outside was even bigger compared to ours; their garden was twice the size and had a much more variety of animals.

After the tour around the estate, we were shown our bedrooms.

Then Mother looked at me and said your tutoring lessons will start from tomorrow.

"Sorry, we couldn`t celebrate you birthday today due to a problem", Mother looked sad.

"It`s okay mommy, it doesn`t matter"

Mother, suddenly turned happy, her lips moved to form a cheerful smile.

Aunt Hilda and mother then sent him of to bed saying, everything will be explained in detail tomorrow.

"Training will begin", he smiled at the thought of it.

Slowly, sleep embraced him in her comforts.
