After mother had announced that she was going to join the academy, that made me almost lose my soul.
But what was very funny is that she said that like it was nothing, she had an expression like this (눈‸눈) which was the only reason I'm still alive cause that made me laugh very hard and the people around me looked at me as if I was crazy.
Obviously my brothers had the same reaction as me but who the f*ck cares!?
So after mother got her identification card as a student of the academy, we were escorted to the dorms that they made especially for us.
It was separated from the rest since the other dorms were in the west side of the academy where in ours was in the east side of the academy, the classrooms would be in the southern part and the place where they pay their respects to a portrait of mother was in the middle of the academy.
(Remember that in this world the imperial family is considered as the gods so they would technically worship them more specifically they would worship the rulers which Victoria is the only ruler remainning, so I don't know why some of the Noble Families went against them.)
The club rooms would be beside the classrooms and that would include where the student council room is, in the Northern part of the academy is where they do trials and competitions, which I can't wait for the Mystical Heavenly Tournament that would be held in a few months.
The Mystical Heaven Tournament is where all the best students participate in and compete with the other academies, this academy has placed third in the last Mystical Heaven Tournament, I kinda feel sorry for not coming to this academy earlier since me and my brothers were supposed to attend school like millions of years ago but considering our mother's health we just couldn't.
(Top 3 of the schools in the last Mystical Tournament)
1.) Μαγική Θηρία Ακαδημία (Magic Beasts Academy)
2.) Ακαδημία του Αθάνατοι (Academy of Immortals)
3.) Μυστικιστής Αρκάιν Ακαδημία (Mystic Arcane Academy)

I was wondering why would they be third when this academy's name sounds the best out of the three, well I guess that it doesn't mean that there name is better then they're the best, so when the other academies learned that me and my brothers were going to attend this academy and not theirs I knew that they were shocked as hell.
Actually we only attended this school because it was what our father suggested to us when he was still alive, mother also wanted us to go here since it would fullfil one of father's wishes.
But I knew that she also wanted us to attend this academy instead of the others.
Once before mother went into coma we asked her the reason that why she and father wanted it to be this school she started crying, at that time we were utterly shocked, cause that was the first time that she has ever cried..... Then we knew why?.....
Flashback.....
"Mother, mother!!" Four little boys shouted in unison. They ran towards the woman who's cold face immediately changed into a warm smile after her eyes landed on them.
She gladly opened her arms, welcoming the boys who were running towards her, she en eveloped them in a big hug.
"Mother~ do you love William the most." He said while making the cutest puppy eyes that would make anyone fall for him.
"No! Mother loves me the most." The youngest out of the four stated while pushing the face of his eldest brother, they began to fight while the other two started to fight amongst themselves aswell.
The woman whom they called mother giggled at how funny her sons were, she hugged them once more and began to say. "Mother loves all of my cute boys equally so don't fight or mommy will smack your butts." She blantly said the last parts which made the four cute little buns stiffen.
"No mother we will not fight anymore we are good boys."
"Yes mommy Charles is a good boy."
"Yesyes so please don't do that mommy my butt will hurt."
One by one they pouted while their mother could only laugh at them.
"Yes~ if my cute babies are good boys then mommy will not smack their butts. So be good boys okay and make sure not to fall for the schemes of others, make sure that you are smart okay~?" The four buns hastily nodded.
"Mother... Can I ask something?" The third child amongst them asked, "Yes you may..."
"Why do we have to go to Μυστικιστής Αρκάιν Ακαδημία (Mystic Arcane Academy) and not the other ακαδημίες (academies)?" He cutely asked.
The beautiful mother suddenly sat still not moving a single inch, "Mother is something wrong?" The second child asked worriedly, they looked at their mother who did not respond.
Then tears appeared in her face, it would not seem to stop soon. "Mother! What's wrong!? Did Philip say something to make you sad!? Don't worry I'll beat him up." The eldest one stated.
"Mother please don't cry...."
The four little buns tried to coax their mother but it seems to be useless, "Don't worry mother had just remembered something..." She said while wiping the tears from her eyes.
The four still looked at her worried that she would cry again, one thought was all in their tiny minds 'It must be something very very very sad since mother has never cried before, even when father died she had only been broken in the inside but never cried.'
Their mother looked at them and gave them her brightest smile, "Well...." She looked up at the sky while she raised her hands like she was trying to reach something but couldn't, she then clenched her fist so hard that her nails almost drew blood from her palm.
"Do you know how that academy started?" She looked back at her sons who were sitting on the ground before her, they all shook their heads in response.
"Nobody knows how it came to be, not even the founder nor the current elders and headmaster of the academy." The eldest brother stated which his younger brothers nodded in agreement.....
"Will you believe me if I said that the place where that academy stands is where me, your father and our friends first met for the first time?" The four widened their eyes, they didn't know that that academy held such a wonder.
It might not seem like something to be proud of but in this case it is, the meeting place of the first ever beings in the world would be called a sacred place. If the people knew about this they would have not made it an academy but like a church which would be cleansed from all evil, they would act there as how they would act inside the imperial palace.
"Actually what really happened was well... on that day we did not trust each other since we were absolutely strangers, but after some time had passed we gradually got closer and became the best of friends, we made that place into our own home." She said while smiling.
"We lived there for thousands of years before we found out that some of the same kind as ours started to appear. We left that place but before that we had made sure to create a barrier that would last until the place chooses a new Master or owner....." Closing her eyes letting the breeze flow around her.
"So you see that place holds so much memories to me, because that is the place where everything started. Although no one knew what the actual origin of it is, I promised to take care of it since it is the place where I met my bestfriends and the place where I met your father. And as the last one remaining out of all of us, I obliged to protect it no matter what." Smiling even more she kissed the forheads of her sons before continuing....
"You know.... it was such a miracle for us to all cross paths there, that is why I thank fate for being ever so kind to us." She then hummed a tune that she remembered back in the old days before looking back at her sons.
"Please help me take care of the academy okay?" She was surprised to see that her four sons started crying, she began to look at them worriedly.
"What is wrong my little cuties." This time she was the one who coaxed them. They all stood up and hugged their mother.
"Mother please don't cry *sniff* we will make sure to take *sniff* care of the school for you so *sniff* please don't be sad." Smiling at her sons she promised to never cry again.
End of Flashback....

Remembering such a memory is well.... sad, but promises are promises so since this place hold such memories of mother and father I'll promise to take care of it even at the stake of my life.
I looked at my mother who was walking beside me my body moved to hug her, apperantly my brothers did the same thing aswell.
Mother looked at us obviously surprised at what we were doing but instead of pushing us away and asking what was wrong she just stood like that letting us hug her.
It was a great time but we had to go to our dorms since when we opened our eyes we saw that our guide was standing at the side ackwardly while trying to make his presence hidden as much as possible.
Me, my brothers and mother started laughing which I hadn't notice but.... What did I just see and hear!?
Mother laughing!? She may have more emotions back then but today it is extremely rare to see her showing emotions in public much more doing something like laughing...
But I just shrugged it off since mother had been quite different lately, ever since she woke up everything about her changed except for the fact that she still has the best poker face in the world.
I mean if she wants, even when shown naked to the public she can still keep a poker face which I knew will never happen even if the sky were to fall.
I know that that's kinda weird but hey I'm not joking, putting that aside we all arrived at our dorms.
We knew which our room was as they have our titles plastered on the face of the doors, to the nobles and commoners they would put their full names on the doors but to us, the imperial family, they would have to put our titles.
That is why mine had 'Fourth Prince' written on it, we all said our 'See you soon.' before going inside our perspective rooms.
After I got inside I slowly closed the doors behind me and put my very own barrier to keep any thieves out.
I flopped onto the bed and thought about the Tournament which I have to plan with my brothers tommorow morning, cause I don't know if mother would want to join since it would literally be unfair.
Well she can if she wants to, but that would be highly likely since mother was not the one to cope with what the people want, she wants to have it her way and not care if it's unfair or not.
That side of her might look bad but to us who know her well it might be the very reason that the world is still standing and not in chaos.
But well technically if mother does not take part, it is already unfair that the four of us would participate but c'mon we maybe the princes but we still need a lot of training to compete with our seniors and the seniors of other schools.
