"I see you are a telepath. That is... very impressive indeed." My newfound aunt, the queen said.
When i heard those words hit my ears, i was instantly lost, after all... how rare was my ability? I was shaken out of my lost thoughts by my aunt and uncle when i noticed they we giggling and roaring with laughter.
"August! Have you not explained how rare telepathy is in the world!?" King Valtrian looked amused and surprised on this revelation and it dawned on me that they had been able to listen to my thoughts. "No I havent brother as we both know studying has never been my strong suit so I left it to you to to explain to my son. After all there is a reason that i refused the crown."
I was awestruck as it struck me that if my father would have chosen a different life path i would be a crown prince and it fascinated me since my dream was to learn sword techniques and magic from the best i can be allowed. i decided to take a chance and sent a mental equivalent of a nudge to my uncle. I giggled as his eyebrowed started twitching a small lil bit. I sent another nudge towards him and then decided to try something new as i successfully pinched my uncle lightly on the arm.
He jumped and looked around and his eyes fell on to me in the end as he noticed the anticipation in my eyes. he raised his eyebrows at me in expectation of my soon to be asked question and since i wanted him to understand what i wanted before i asked i decided to explain with our thoughts.
'Uncle Valtrian I have a question and a request i would like to ask but i want you and Aunt Lilios' to discuss it together with me before i mention it out loud to mother and father, is it okay if i invite Aunt Lilios to our conversation?' As his expression turned thoughtful for a few moments i grew a bit nervous but sighed with relief as he nodded and said in our telepathic conversation, 'Its probably for the best to be honest as i value and respect her opinion on such conversations.'
'Alright Uncle here we go.' I looked towards my aunt and sent her a thought 'Aunt Lilios?' She looked at me curiously and thought back to me, 'Yes dear nephew?' 'Me and Uncle would like to have a quick conversation with you if you dont mind joining us.'
'Alright then, link me in if you dont mind.'
It only took me a second to join her into our conversation and then I started with my question. 'If you dont mind telling me, is the teachers in the capital able to teach me swordsmanship and magic at a more capable level than the ones here?' they thought about this for a moment then gave a mental nod and replied with 'Yes. They are many times more qualified and capable than the ones that would do tutoring here.'
Their answer made me get extremely excited at the prospect of the possibility of getting taught advanced magic and swordsmanship. I thought of the fact of learning to possibly get a dual job classification in this life and being really talented to the point where i could be a qualified Champion of the kingdom.
'Im sure you now have an idea of my thoughts but I am also Confident that you would like to know my exact question now.' to which they responded with 'We wont lie, we are somewhat curious.'
I decided not to beat around the bush anymore and proceeded to my question. 'Uncle I would like to ask that I be trained and nurtured into a possible royal knight of the kingdom.' Which astonished the both of them.
