Chapter 2 - Reborn

-

AHHHHHHHRRRRGGGGHHHHH

In a fine decorated room, the screams of a woman echoed throughout the walls.

You got this my lady, just one more push!!!!

Silvia, the head maid, shouts some words of encouragements to her master, the duchess of the Argenti dukedom, Amanda Argenti as gives birth to her third child.

-UUUUUNNNNGGGHHHHHHHH

After a final push, the baby was safely delivered, but he did not cry, immediately the head maid gave the baby a slap on the butt.

-UAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHH

-Congratulations my lady, it's a healthy boy.

Embracing her newborn child, the black-haired woman met the baby's gaze with an expression of relief and love.

' Thank the heavens everything went well'!

(AN: - for speeches,' for thoughts and * for sound effects)

At the sound for the door opening, everybody turned to it, entering the room was a man with silver hair and red eyes looking no older than 30 years old. Wearing a fine tailored silver coat with red lines along with a black shirt and pants which complemented his already handsome face.

Alongside the man were two kids, a boy, and a girl. The -year-old boy, who was looking at the baby with a look of annoyance, had the mother black hair his facial structure and red eyes are similar to his father. The 9-year-old girl had the father silver hair and eyes but gave a different aura from her younger brother and father, she looked at the newborn with hopes that he doesn't become like her young brother: a brat.

-Greeting my lord!

All the maids present said in union.

-Husband.

Amanda responded in a neutral tone. Ever since finding out about her husband, duke James Argenti ,true ,she wanted to leave the household but couldn't leave her children alone, even if she just left it was impossible to run from a 7th rank mage, the duke was just that powerful.

-I take it everything went well.

Said the duke in an emotionless voice as he inspected the baby with a look, that is usually directed at a tool, of indifference.

-Yes fortunately, would you like to hold him?

-No need, I just came to give him a name, as long as he brings glory to the household i won't have any problems.

At those words, Amanda frowned but let it go as she wasn't expecting a different outcome.

-from now on you shall be called Luke Argenti, do not disappoint me.

As soon as he gave the baby his name, he turned around to leave, followed by the boy after the same clicked his tongue in displeasure. The girl decided to stay with her mother for a while.

-Luke... what a nice name.

-Yes I agree, I will make sure he ends up being a good person.

The mother and the girl chatted for a little while before leaving to their respective rooms.

Little did they know that the newborn was going to be one of the greatest mages to have ever lived.

5 years later (Luke's POV)

Felling the warm sunlight breaching through the gaps of my curtain I immediately opened my eyes and got greeted with a marvelous sight of my room, fully decorated with expensive furniture and a giant portrait of my new family above the fireplace. The room is big enough to be called a living room and its wall and ceiling painted with a mix of blue and silver give off a noble vibe

*Knock knock

hearing a knock on the door, I got out of bed and ordered the person outside to enter.

-Good morning young master

-Good morning, Elise

Elise my personal nanny entered and greeted me the same way ever since she was assigned to me. She has dark brown hair and clear green eyes that look like emerald jewels, she gives an older sister kind of vibe, well that's to be expected since she's 10 years older than me.

-What is on my schedule today?

- After your breakfast, you have etiquette classes until 11am then from 11 to 12 magic theory lessons, after lunch, history, business, mathematics, and politics lessons, then in the late afternoon a tea with your mother.

-busy as always...

Getting up from my bed, Elise started dressing me up, initially I told her that I can do this myself, but she insisted saying it's a maid's job to do those tasks, so I gave up trying to convince her.

It's been 5 years since I was reborn in this world, it was hard to believe at first, but one can only deny reality for so long.

In this new life I am Luke Argenti, the youngest child of the Argenti dukedom, and it's a pretty nice life aside from all the duties and tasks I got to do as a noble, which is too much for a 5-year-old child but since I got experience from my past life it's not much of a challenge.

Finishing getting ready, I looked myself up in the mirror and my new face is astonishing, a short silver hair and black eyes and a round baby face that has unlimited potential. My pure white shirt looks like one of those that rich people of the 19th century used to wear, along with a blue cloth held together by a silver brooch and blue pants perfectly contrasted my appearance.

-Young master, please stop daydreaming, you are going to be late for breakfast.

-Alright, I'm coming.

Elise, after snapping me out of my thoughts, guided me to the dining room where i have breakfast with my family every morning.

Speaking of my family, aside of a good relationship with my mother, the other members are troublesome especially my older brother, I seriously don't know what I did to incur his worthy older sister doesn't seem to care about anything aside from training and my father, well he's an asshole.

-We are here young master.

-Thank you, Elise.

Opening the door, I'm greeted by a marvelous white room with an owl flapping its wings carved on the celling along with giant portrait of our family hanging on the wall.

In the middle of the room was a long blue and silver table filled with food. Seating on the right side were my older brother and sister, Geroge Argenti and Helena Argenti and on the left side was my mother, Amanda Argenti.

-Good morning brother, sister, and mother.

-Good morning son!!

-You are late.

As usual my brother stats finding fault with every little thing i do but i just ignore it like I always have.

-George stop picking on you brother, do not start trouble on breakfast.

*tsk

Hearing my mother's warning George clicked his tongue in annoyance admitting his defeat, he may be a spoiled brat, but he doesn't dare to go against mother since she is the second person who holds the most power in the mansion.

Sitting on the chair on the left of my sister we greet each other with a simple nod, she isn't much of a talker and we aren't close, so this is enough.

-The lord is arriving please be ready!!

Marcus, our family's head butler entered the room to notify us that our father is coming so we got up from our seats and waited until entered.

This is a rule that my father enforced since he doesn't view us as a family. For him we are all beneath him and our job is to work for the benefit of the dukedom.

Now you see why i called him an asshole.

-How annoying...- I muttered under my breath but that did not escape my bother ears.

-I guess you forgot that a noble shouldn't use words like that, you need to pay attention to your classes little brother.

Seriously this guy doesn't miss a single moment but before I could say anything my sister intervened.

-George be quiet, and Luke mind your words.

-Bu..

Before George could say anything a chilling energy enveloped the room, we all turned our head to the source and we saw my father arriving at the room.
