In the royal palace of the Starlight Kingdom at the capital, 18 years old-young Alex Gilbert was sitting cross leg inside his own room. His body was releasing a different type of aura that is unknown to the people in this world.
Alex was the second prince of the Starlight Kingdom, and he was very known to the people in the capital.
Trash Prince
This is what the people on the capital was calling him. Because Alex doesn't have any talent in magic and warrior energy, he was given this name by his own people. Luckily for him, his parents still love him, especially his mother.
His mother being the most favored concubine of the king, have a very high place inside the palace. Even the current queen of the kingdom was jealous of the love and care that the king was giving to his favorite concubine
Alex has 3 other siblings, his older brother the crown prince. The eldest princess and the youngest princess who was both daughters of the other concubines of the king. his relationship with his siblings was very good, except for the crown prince.
While the two princesses were very close to him, the crown prince was cold to him. Or one could say that the crown prince hated him. Alex knew why the crown prince hated him, it is because of his mother. his mother being favored by the king, the crown prince didn't like it. For him, as his mother was the current queen, his mother should be the one being favored by the king and not a mere concubine.
Knock!
Knock!
"Your highness second prince, the preparation is already completed. Your carriage was already downstairs with your escorts" a young maid enters the room and respectfully said.
Alex glance at the made and he could feel, that there is disdain in her tone no matter how hard she tried to hide it. Because of him being unable to practice, even a servant from his own palace acts like this towards him.
In this world that the strong eat the weak, being weak could be considered as a sin. Especially for a member of a royal family like him. He wouldn't be able to gather the respect of his people if he was weak. Even an ordinary citizen in the kingdom practiced both magic and martial arts. But a royalty like him couldn't.
"You may go, I will follow shortly" after making the maid go away. Alex stood up and look down at the window. There he could see a line of carriages waiting. "Sending me to a small territory in the mountains, my father wanted me to take me away so that I will be safe"
Shortly after, Alex arrived below at the waiting carriages. A beautiful woman was waiting there with her eyes wet in tears. This was his mother, Margaret the favored concubine of the king, "Son, make sure you take care of yourself there. Always eat on time and don't sleep late. If someone dares to offend you, immediately send your mother a letter. Mother will take care of them"
Feeling the eyes of everyone around him, Alex felt embarrassed but there was a warm current in his heart. Because he knew how his mother loves him, "Mother don't worry about me. You yourself need to take care of here in the capital. There are many people in the dark scheming and wanting to harm you"
Hearing her son's words, his mother knew who he was talking about. A warm smile appeared on her face and softly touches his face, "Mother knows about it, don't worry mother is strong and can take care of herself"
After saying a few more words, Alex and the carriage left leaving his mother crying for his son's departure.
