60 years ago there was the Sail empire that consisted of 13 provinces and was adjacent to the Snow Kingdom. During that time the ruling emperor of the sail empire was in his last days before his death he appointed the son of empress the second prince as his heir however, he didn't take into account the power that the other princes held which resulted in the unrest through the empire.

The imperial capital was located in the southern side of the kingdom and was twice the size of a province the matriarch family held control over the capital, were as the surrounding 3 provinces were controlled by their allies and the branch family with this, they had the support of 3 provinces along with the capital they held the strongest power among other fractions. with backing from his mother's family and his supporters, the second prince consolidated his power by taking the throne.

but the nobles in the north of the kingdom supported the first prince, whereas the nobles in the west supported the seventh prince, and nobles in the east supported the Fourth Prince Due to this, a Civil War befell that split the empire into one empire and three kingdoms that consist of Kingdom Ethova, Kingdom Aras, Kingdom Byzuarum and the Sail empire which was left only in the name since the first, fourth and the seventh prince took three provinces each and crowned themselves kings of the respective kingdoms which left the original empire with the capital and 3 provinces.

During the civil war, there was a province that was not occupied by anyone, it was the Smallest and weakest among all other provinces of the empire and because the lord responsible for this province was a corrupt noble the province fell to unrest due to protests, and Disorder. The only thing this province had was that the land was fertile and their neighboring Snow kingdom was in dire need of food as their lands are difficult to cultivate so they had a trade exchange going on with this province for food( wheat, rice bailey etc) in exchange for skins and meat which were hunted within the snow kingdom along with other commodities, so this land had a high commercial level trade but due to corruption it was left in misery.

This province became a place without law and swarmed with bandits and thugs until one day two young martial artist at peak fifth-stage of cultivation arrived at this place. After 10 years of effort, they managed to bring order and peace to this province and founded the Alba Kingdom. Although the other neighboring kingdoms perturbed by this, they could not take any actions due to the civil war which left them fragile and in need of recuperation which had their hands tied because if another war broke out it was Plausible for the other empires to invade their lands. which sequentially helped for the formation of Alba kingdom.

Closing the book a two-year-old boy nodded his head coming to a conclusion on this matter.

(So my grandparents are opportunists hehe, they took advantage of the war between the four kingdoms to be able to establish their own country.

but that also leaves me in doubt, as for why the other empires did not Attack the weak and divided Sail empire?

The books recorded that there is only one realm i.e realm of body refinement which as 9 stages, I can’t accept this, I think this kingdom is so backward that they have no knowledge about higher cultivation realms? and the history has not mentioned anything about General Keer and how he came to be as the number one general of the kingdom nor his origins that interesting!)

That child is Alexander Alba, during these two years he has been in this world nothing unusual happened the only thing that bothered him is that his father treated him as if he never existed in the first place, whereas in case of his older brothers His father always plays with them and treats them very well and even grants their whims.

But not everything is miserable as I have three Older sisters the first, Second and third princesses they treat me very well, in fact, they are even a little annoying they treat me like a doll dragging me everywhere to their whims. therefore I sneaked into the library to escape their clutches and started reading everything I can find to collect information regarding my surroundings.

Apart from them, there also my mother and my grandparents who cherish me and play with me and my sisters from time to time, they are nothing like my father who still hasn't come to see me ever since my birth.

As for my older brothers, I haven't seen them yet, they always training or socializing with their maternal family members, the queen is the only daughter of General Keer, while the third concubine is the daughter of the wealthiest man in the kingdom whose wealth cannot be underrated, as to me that little wealth is nothing but garbage in my eyes but for the ordinary people there wealth is to die for.

As for my mother, she doesn't love my father nor cares what he thinks of me and nearly all her time is spent training or teaching me, she in the fourth-stage of body refinement and she only needs a short time to enter the fifth-stage of body refinement.

As for me, till now I have not been to outside the palace, I only came in contact with my mother, grandparents, and sisters. consequently, I don't know how many experts there are in this world. all I know is that when a child reaches five years old only than can he start to cultivate, So I decided not to do anything during these years, I've always had been acting like a child in front of others, not to brag but my performance is impeccable and no one suspects anything. to tell the truth, it's not so bad it's mainly about playing, eating, pooping, sleeping and repeating. Being a child is great!

going back to the present time

"Alexander, where are you?" I hear my mother's voice so I decided to make some baby sounds so she knows where I'm, anyway I have read what I wanted in the library so it's time to go back.

Listening to my voice she quickly came to the library almost smashing through the door panting heavily, I discerned that she should have been searching all over the place for a long time when she saw me she did not pause to grab me in her arms and tells me in a deep voice "apparently your mother has spoiled you too much"

when I heard that I felt a chill in my spine, my mother walked with me in her arms, her steps neither fast or slow yet I felt like I was heading toward hell with every step she took my heart started beating faster and faster.

(I'm not afraid, remember I was a great cultivator like hell I'm going to be afraid of someone in the realm of body refinement, there nothing to be afraid of)

While walking I repeated this again and again but when I glanced at her she gave me a mischievous smile which made my body started dripping with cold sweat, but with a determined look I said in my mind

(Come, woman, this old man had lived for 3000 years I have no fear)

When he realized They were already at the door to his mother's room.

she opened the door and the first thing she did was to sit in a chair that was facing the window and placed Alexander on her legs his face and legs hanging in air, pulled down his baby pants and began to grab momentum with her left hand.

While Alexander with a determined face was thinking

(Let's do this woman I have experienced a lot of pain in my life, some spankings are nothing)

"I'm sorry Alexander, but you made me go through the fright of my life, therefore, this is your punishment" finished saying that sounded the first spanking.

Paaa

Paaa

Paaa

when he was already at the third spanking Alexander could not endure it anymore and began to shriek in a tearful tone.

(has the Violent woman has not been taught that people understand words?)

Paaa

Paaa

(Please I will no longer be a bad child)

And this is how an Elder of more than 3000 years of age, an influential martial cultivator surrendered after five spanking from his new mother.

But it was not only five but a total of twenty spankings were given to him

After being spanked without mercy Anna lifted him in her arms asked him face to face with a flourishing motherly smile "From now on you will be a good child right? "

Alexander seeing that smile on her mother's face he thought he was seeing a demon, instead of his mother and without any hesitation nodded his head with all his heart while holding back the tears in his eyes.

"That's the way I like it" while saying it, she stroked his hair and kissed his cheek.

This is how Alexander tasted the real terror for the first time in this life as they say pain comes and goes but the trauma always remains, that day he swears with all his heart to never anger his mother ever again.
