The long night had finally finished and the celebration has finally come to an end. I was now alone in my room.

Hm? Did I mention to you that I always sleep alone in my room since four months ago? Or not. Oh well, now you know. You see, since four months ago, my mother was gotten so busy that she always shut herself in the study.

That's why after she confirmed that I am already sleeping soundly like the cute baby I am, she would just leave me alone and go to her study.

Hm? You want to know why all of a sudden? I don’t know, maybe because father is always away and because mother was the queen, she was expected to do it in my father’s absence.

I really felt my Beloved Mother is quite pitiful. Just how long does this nonsensical war going to be?! If my Mother got sick because of it, Hmph! Wait for me to grow up and I will surely raid all those bastard kingdoms!

Oh well, so much for that, Now that I’m alone, let’s gives this magic a go!

After seeing a practical example in front of me earlier, all that’s left is to do it myself!

‘Hm? What is it again? Etto, it’s this right…’

“Oh! Great warrior of light who vanished the Achoo……….”

‘Shit, I sneeze!’

Imagining the light which Sasha showed me, I spoke without any special theatrics, and my voice sounded childish but still cute if I may say so myself. Hahaha!

Although I diligently recited the chant but it was still an epic fail because of my unpredictable sneeze.

I really thought that the spell failed. However, my whole body suddenly began to warm up; not a feverish heat—closer to the relaxed, warm feeling after doing light exercise.

A pale sphere of light appeared in the palm of my hand.

It’s a little small compared to the one Sasha made; nothing special, but still- Finally, my first magic!

‘Hahaha I did it! I really did it! I don’t know why but I did it! Buwahahaha I’m a real genius!’

Although the principle behind it escapes me, especially when I didn’t finished that embarrassing ‘Chuuni’ chant, however I’m very happy to have reached this first milestone.

‘Whoops. Frolicking around in celebration after only this much is unbecoming of a man! phew! Let’s calm down and continue experimenting.’

Is what I thought when suddenly the surroundings begin moving by themselves, it feels like the whole room, not! The whole world is spinning around me and then it slowly slanting to one side— no, I was wrong. It was me who is collapsing.

‘Eh?’

Before I could understand what really happened, I was already lying on my bed. An extreme tiredness enveloped me, followed by a sudden darkness that swallowed my entire consciousness.

*********

‘Uugh, what the hell was that?’

Not yet fully awake, I grumbled in my mind. I tried to move my body but to no avail because of the pain coursing within it when I move was like a hundreds of needle stabbing on every pores on my body.

My consciousness began to cleared up. Although it’s a little bit foggy before but now it slowly fades.

As I woke up, I found myself lying on a soft and comfortable bed. But that’s not what caught my attention. There are voices around me.

As soon as my vision cleared, I immediately surveyed my surrounding.

I was startled from what I saw, there was my mom weeping beside me. At the back was Sasha, although she wasn’t crying but you can clearly see the big black bags under her eyes that cause her to look like a panda and also the color of her eyes which turned to blood-red. There was also my father who was talking to someone I don’t

recognized.

When Sasha noticed that I am awake, she put her hands at her chest and began crying.

“Y-your majesty! The young master has finally opened his eyes!”

Sasha shouted. Hearing her words, all the people present in the room turned around to look at me. My mother who was weeping at my side just now suddenly lifted me up and hug me so tightly I thought I’ll be crushed.

Mind you! Try experiencing humanoid dragon hugging your cute baby body! I swear, you will feel what potatoes felt when they were mashed up.

‘Just what happened when I was asleep? Did someone died or something?’

I couldn’t understand what was happening and was only left dumbfounded by this strange situation. I stared at my mother’s crying face and extend my right hand.

Although the pain cursing my body is already in the point that I couldn’t bear it anymore, I still endured it just to

console her. I don’t know what happened but I don’t want to see my mom crying.

When I touched her face, I also tried to wipe the tears falling from her eyes. Feeling my touch, My mother’s grip suddenly became stronger and she was now crying harder than before.

‘Eh? Did I make it worse? Just what the hell happened when I was asleep?’

I wanted to shout' Uncle! Uncle!' but unfortunately, the vocabulary of this cute little body is still insufficient.

See!! That's why I said add something else to a baby's vocabulary speech...!

Couldn’t bear the pain aching from my body as well as the strong grip my mom exerting while hugging me, I look at my father pleading with my eyes for help.

'Papa, don't just stand there and help your adorable son you idiot! I'm going to get crushed like instant noodles! Hurry!' t-t

As if noticing my plight my father approached us and hugged us.

‘Hey, stupid dad, that’s not what I meant….. aargh! Damn it!’

Like reaching the boiling point, my tears swelled up and burst from my eyes and I began crying. Hearing this; mother and father finally loosen up.

'Phew~ I almost tasted some crushed bone noodles.'

“Sorry baby, I’m just so happy that you’ve already woke up! I really thought we’ve lost you because you didn’t wake up for five days.”

While saying this, mother again burst into tears.

'Eh? Excuse me? F-five days?'

You kidding me?

I can't still comprehend what my mother was saying. Sleeping for five days? What the hell happened to me?

'No maybe...just maybe, does it have something to do with me using magic? I thought it was just magic exhaustion?'

As I was pondering the reason for this situation, my father walk back towards the the man in white and asked.

"So, just what exactly happened to my son? Can’t you still find the reason for this? High-priest Jindo?"

The man in white seems to be a priest and is a capable healer. He looked at me with an eyes that looked like they can see through you. After a few minutes, he then looks again to my father.

"I'm sorry, your majesty but other than the mana fluctuating around him, there is no other symptoms that can help me find out just what happened to the young prince"

Father looked at me with eyes filled with worry and concern before nodding his head.

That night, refusing to leave me, mother together with father stayed and sleep with me in my room.
