Chapter:9

Today I'm finally become 3 years old and got informed from my mother that I will be attending my status ceremony tomorrow morning. I am now capable of talking as well as walking due to my daily exercises. Due to having great potential in my body as it contains an abundant amount of soul Mana inside it the fruits of my labor finally paid as my whole body is three times powerful than my age... Now that I can talk I usually stay alone as I Don't need Emily's help for everything but she still assigned as my personal maid. Nowadays sometimes father came to teach me a little basic of this world such as writing and manners but he's a little strict when it comes to aristocratic knowledge... Thank God usually mother scolds him while saying that I am still a child.

Now I am with Clair, playing a little game of hiding and seek with her and her friends which came to play with us to our home. Anna and others come to play with us at least twice a month to our house otherwise we go to the park to play. Anna is a little attach to me as she always tries to cuddle with me and that pipsqueak Sofia always stick to my sister whenever she has the chance which is the reason that we don't like each. Carlos is a calm person for his age and it looks like he is the second strongest in the group of children after my sister. He is a smart and well-mannered child and always strive to archive better in his training and I have to say that I'm impressed by him for that point. We all usually play different games whenever we meet as all of them except me usually busy in there training for passing marks in the academy.

It was Clair's turn to find us as we started to think about a place to hide in our mansion's garden. I started to run while zigzagging among the plants as I try to find a nice place to hide and I find Carlos hiding behind the bushes attached to the left side of the mansion and he too notices me and gestures me to find a different place as there is not enough space for both of us. I again started gaining speed as I run as far as I can from my sister to buy some time and found myself in the backyard of the mansion. There is no place to hide in my understanding as all the shrubs are cut in the shape of length shapes. As I become disappointed in myself for not thinking further I hear the shout of Clair.

Clair" Carlos I find you so now come out from there"

I started panicking as I suddenly found myself pulled in the border bushes of the garden and found Anna their.

She asked me quietly " why are you looking around while standing just find a place to hide "

I smile shyly as I thought ' what I am doing if I can't find a place to hide in my own garden' and nods.

She replies " well now you don't have time to search a place so we have to share mine " and pull me towards herself and squats in the bushes with me. She wraps her arm on my waist as she lets me sit on her lap and I feel like she is enjoying herself. We wait in silence for Clair to come for a few minutes as soon as Clair and others enter our vision. Anna seal my mouth with her other hand as we gaze at them.

Clair speak " they should be here as this is the last place that I don't search yet"

Carlos speaks while humming " ohh is that so... but I think you still will lose if you can't find them before 1 minute"

While they are arguing Sofia wanders her eyes all around the place and finds us and gasps. Anna and I widen our eyes as she cries for Clair.

Sofia" Clair Clair look there .. I found them "

Carlos suddenly gave a blank look and Clair come running at us with Sofia leading her way.

Anna cries " that's not fair. How can you do that? I don't wanna play if you want to cheat Clair's assistant"

Sofia retorts" and let my Clair start from scratch? Hump in your dreams"

I point my finger at her and shout" shut up you pipsqueak "

Sofia become red with anger and comment " how dare you cockroach go hide somewhere "

Clair tries to make things smooth " okay okay you all enough with your chit-chat. Don't worry guys as I was the last game for today as it already evening and you all have to go to your house. Why not change the topic"

Suddenly Carlos exclaimed " yeah right if I remember correctly tomorrow is the rapheal day of ceremony. Congrats Raphael now you to can make your birthday and don't forget to invite us on your after ceremony party okay ?"

Anna " ahhh now that you mention it. Congrats Raphael and don't forget to show your status card to us after acquiring it. I want to see how much potential is in you."

I replied with an " okay" and smile at them. Actually, I too am interested in this status card thing that is the byproduct of goddess saria's blessing and scientific research on the person body. After talking with them I said goodbye to them with my sister and enters the mansion as dinner is laid on the dining table. Now that I'm old enough to do daily activities although still a little clumsily I allowed eating with my family. We sat on the table as maids serve us the food. We eat our dinner peace while watching hallow t .v..

In today's dinner, there is a recipe of rabbit meat with a mixture of salad as a side dish and bread with a soup of vegetables and hen meat and last but not least brownie as dessert.

Mother speaks to me " Raphael tomorrow is an important day for you so you should sleep early and prepare for tomorrow. "

I nod at mother's concern and take my leave for my bedroom after bidding goodnight to all.
