He has short black hair and charming black eyes.

"Mummy" The five years old boy called

"What is it?" The midwife asked

"I want to become a Knight when I grow up"

"So that i can protect you and every citizens of Goldenville empire" The five years old boy said

Just then,they heard a knock on the door.

"Itsuki" The midwife called

"Yes mummy" The five years old boy answered

"Go and check who is at the door" The midwife said

"Okay mummy" Itsuki said 

Then he walked up to the door and  opened it.

Itsuki saw a knight that was standing in front of their house,Itsuki immediately closed the door as soon as he saw the Knight.

Then he turned around towards his mother's direction.

"Who is that?" The midwife asked

"A Knight" Itsuki replied

"A Knight?" The midwife asked

Then she picked up the pot's lid and used it to cover the pot,She quickly walked up to the door and opened it.

"Good day madam" The Knight greeted

"Good day" The midwife greeted,looking rather confused

"Why are you here?"

"Is Empress Sara having any health complication?" The midwife asked

"No" The Knight replied

"Empress Sara is fine" 

"She just told us to bring you some gifts" The knight said

"Some gifts?" The midwife asked

"Yes" The knight said 

Then he pointed at some foodstuffs that were behind him,The midwife and Itsuki were surprised to see all the foodstuffs.

"Wow!" Itsuki exclaimed

"So many foodstuffs" Itsuki said

"But she shouldn't have send all this" The midwife said

"I'm sorry" The midwife apologized

"But you'll have to return them back to the castle" The midwife said

"But I can't carry all this many foodstuffs back to the royal castle" The knight said

"Please madam" 

"Please just accept them" The knight pleaded

"O..Ok" The midwife said

***IN ANOTHER EMPIRE***

A young boy at the age of seven was practicing sword fight with a middle aged man,They were both using a wooden sword.

The young boy has short cherry red hair and charming red eyes.

The young boy looked rather serious, like he was training to kill someone.

The young boy tried to stab the middle aged man with his wooden sword,But the middle aged man quickly dodged the young boy's attack as he bend over to the young boy's left side.

Then he used his wooden sword to hit the young boy's leg and shoulder.

"If it were a real sword you would have lost your leg and your arm by now" The middle aged man said

"Prince Naraka" The middle aged man called

"Your attack is fine...You have really improved alot"

"But you need to work more on your defense" The middle aged man said

"I'm tired"

"Let's call it a day" Prince Naraka said 

"But Young Emperor...." The middle aged man was interrupted by Prince Naraka

"I said I'm tired" Prince Naraka said

"Is that so hard for you to understand?" Prince Naraka asked

"No..no..no..Your Majesty" The middle aged man replied

Prince Naraka threw the wooden sword to the ground and walked away.

***GOLDENVILLE EMPIRE***

[Goldenville]

It was thirty minutes past seven in the evening,The midwife was sewing a torn cloth when she heard a knock on the door.

"Who could that be?" She asked

Then she placed the cloth that she was sewing on the chair that she was sitting on.

The midwife then walked up to the door which was just some few steps away from where she was sitting on.

She opened the door and saw a  young man that was standing at the front of her door,The young man was wearing a wolf face mask,two swords were behind his back.

The midwife got scared as soon as she saw the young man.

"Why....why...why are...are you..you..here here?" She stammered

"I heard the Empress had a safe delivery" 

"And she gave birth to a son" The young man said

"I'm sorry" The midwife apologized

"I couldn't kill that innocent child" The midwife said

"Since you failed to carry out my order...."

".....I have no choice but to kill you" The young man said as he stretched his right hand towards the midwife

The young man pointed out two of his fingers towards the midwife.

"Please don't kill me" She pleaded

"Please...Forgive..." 

"....Ah!" The midwife screamed as a red thin beam of light came out from the young man's finger and pierced through her chest

"Tell Emperor Tsuki that I said hi" The young man said as the midwife fell down to the ground

"MUMMY!" Itsuki screamed

"Well...well...Look who we have here" The young man said as he walked up to Itsuki

"What did you do to my mummy?" Itsuki asked

"The same thing that I'm about to do to you too" The young man said as he stretched his right hand towards Itsuki 

Just then an arrow hit the young man's hand.

"Freeze!" A Knight said as five other Knights rushed into the room

The young man removed the arrow from his hand,Then he brought out a small black ball from a small purse that was hanging around his waist and threw it at the knights.

The black ball released some smokes as soon as it hits the floor.

The young man then escaped through the window,While the knights kept on coughing.

After awhile the smokes faded.

"Where did he go?" One of the knights asked

"He jumped through the window" Itsuki replied

Then he looked towards his mother's direction.

"Mummy?" Itsuki called as he ran towards his mum

"Mummy wake up...The bad guy has run away" Itsuki said as he tapped his mum's arm

"Little boy...Your mum is gone" One of the knights said

"Gone?" Itsuki asked

"But she is right here and I can see her" Itsuki said

"I mean...your..your mum is dead" The knight said

"You are lying"

"My mum is not dead"

"She is just trying to play a prank" Itsuki said

"Mummy wake up" Itsuki said as tears rolled down his little cheeks

One if the knights walked up to Itsuki and knelt down beside him.

Then he held Itsuki's shoulders.
