Kaiden didn't hesitate to start crawling away given that chance and he was crawling faster than most babies his age. Elisea and the maid were caught off guard, both by his speed and the fact that babies at his age typically were not crawling yet.
Elisea was about to get up to chase the escaping Kaiden, after grabbing her attention from the surprise, but the maid simply gave her a gesture to sit back down before chasing after the runaway baby that was already at the open dining hall door.
Kaiden was on his way to see and experience the rest of this already huge castle. 'This is already bigger than the one I had! maybe I should be a bit jealous of the old bastard that owns this!' Kaiden laughed in his mind while crawling as fast as he could to areas he hasn't seen yet.
Before he could make it halfway down the long corridor the maid grabbed him making him throw a tiny fit. The maid sighed as she flipped Kaiden around to look at his face and smiled, yet Kaiden only looked past her making her sigh again.
"You know, master Kaiden, curiosity can be bad. You seem to be very smart and curious for a baby, your family will be happy to see what you will achieve for this family. Even us servants might have to expect greatness from you." The maid said before holding him close and bringing him back towards the dining hall.
'It sounds as if I'm going to be looked at a lot for being so curious. That will be a pain, if anyone, even family, tries to force anything on me I might have to kill them.' Kaiden thought as a serious look appeared on his face.
As he was thinking this he felt like he was being watched, a slight pressure landed on him, as if a powerful being started to watch him and observe him. Kaiden looked around but saw no one and even when they entered the dining hall he only saw the maid and his gentle mother.
'What the hell is this weird pressure, even I never felt anything like this before. It feels like a predator watching their prey, but giving away their presence on purpose.' Kaiden's lips started to form a smile and slowly turned a bit vicious, yet nothing like the one he used to have, at the thought of something or someone powerful watching him.
After his smile was formed the pressure disappeared like it was never there and Kaiden's smile disappeared before he started to feel sleepy.
Kaiden continued to live his days out as he wanted. Elisea let Kaiden crawl more and saw him trying to walk on multiple occasions and worried every time he fell expecting him to cry. To her surprise, however, Kaiden only had a smile on his face before trying to stand and walk again!
"My, my, our child is quite eager to walk. I think we have a special case!" The father said in excitement.
"Dear, I'm excited to see what little Kaiden will do in life!" it looked like sparkles appeared in Elisea's eyes while saying that. "I think he'll be a great man like you and very strong!"
The father chuckled as his wife complimented him and smiled at the sight of her excitement. As the family was enjoying their moments and Kaiden was finally walking without falling a heavy pressure went through the castle.
This caused Kay to fall being so focused on walking and annoyed him a bit while his parents got worried he hurt himself when the pressure disappeared. They only saw him get back up and start walking again and they couldn't help but sigh at their child's determination to walk early.
"Well, it seems that grandfather needs me so I will return after a few hours, I love you Elisea." The father said before kissing her and heading towards the door.
"Is the patriarch mad? He seemed to be pretty mad to show his power like that." Elisea questioned in a worried voice. "Do be careful Liam, I don't want you to overwork yourself as well."
Liam just smiled and went on his way. Kaiden was listening to the conversation and noted his father's name was Liam and that his great-grandfather is the patriarch of his family.
'He must be incredibly strong to give that pressure through the castle. The humans in this world must be able to have amazing strength for something like that.' Kaiden thought with a smile on his face.
Kaiden's mother just started at the door before looking at Kaiden with a smile, "Oh Kaiden, your father works so hard. It seems like you took after him trying to walk so early." Elisea chuckled with the last bit while she watched Kaiden walk towards her. She was a bit surprised that Kaiden wasn't wobbling while walking now and what happened next surprised her more.
"M.. mother," Kaiden mumbled after reaching her at the side of the bed.
Elisea just sat there shocked that her, four month old, child was already walking and also said mother to her.
Soon the surprise vanished and she grabbed him and lifted him in excitement and screamed, "Oh my, Kaiden! I knew you were an amazing Child!" She snuggled Kaiden with so much excitement and Kaiden just accepted it.
After that, Elisea went around to Liam, her family, and every servant to express her excitement.
Next thing Kaiden knew he was the center of attention of the whole castle and was able to see more of his family. Eventually, he saw his older brother, Jocke. As he saw his face, all he saw was anger and Kaiden knew he had to watch out for Jocke's jealousy.
Jocke was a bit above average in height and was skinny. His face looked like he didn't eat much and he had a small nose. He had short golden hair and the usual bright golden eyes. Jocke wore something similar to his father only difference was he wore darker clothes, other than the family robe.
The one person Kaiden didn't seem to have met was his great-grandfather and that made him all the more curious about him.
