"May I leave early I am not hungry right now"
Said Cassian with a calm tone his goal is to first make sure if this world is the same as the one from the novel 'The adventures of the prince of light'?
and the only place he can do that is in the library.
"Hmm- Of course you can, but make sure you have something after that"
Said the lady with a slight smile on her face. Her eyes lit up slightly, as if she was particularly excited for some reason. But Cassian couldn't think about that right now. There were much more important things to find out.
"Will do thanks"
He said before storming out of the room with a quick turn around.
'finally i can go to the library'
He was aware that it was a little disrespectful, but he couldn't just sit here and keep pretending that this was all normal for him, he just needed to feel that he knew at least something in this world, even if it was a novel he didn't even like.
With quick steps and a look that made everyone think twice about talking to him, he walked through the corridors like a crazy bull.
But he suddenly stopped with a blank look on his face.
"Shit, I forgot, I don't even have a clue where the library is"
-----
"Did you see that? Darling"
"Yeah, it was the first time he spoke so much, it was quite impressive".
Midana thought that today would be like every other day, she thought that her child would grow increasingly distant, but today she experienced something unbelievable, her normally cold child answered her questions and even spoke with a respectful tone, well he stormed out without eating but at least it was a step in the right direction.
"Maybe we can even go into town tomorrow and buy him some clothes and then we could go to the park and have a picnic. Sounds like a good plan, right, darling?"
Her eyes were sparkling and you could even hear the joy in her voice.
"Hmm - isn't that a bit over the top sweetheart?"
Leopold is glad that his wife was happy, but he knew that if she started to make plans, he would not be able to finish his job.
"Haha - maybe you are right. But if the opportunity arises, I will take it".
Midana said with a malicious look in her eyes and a tone of voice that would make even the gates of hell freeze.
"Haha- of course honey"
Leopold replied in a cheerful tone, but his shaking hands told a different story.
-----
After an embarrassing amount of time, Cassian finally managed to find the library. The library was on the other side of the mansion. He estimated that it would take him a couple of weeks to memorise each of the rooms.
He stood at the door, which was decorated with a variety of pretty designs, and opened it carefully and expectantly.
"Hello, is anybody here?"
He asked with a questioning tone of voice before he finally ventured into the library. He couldn't help but be astonished when he saw the countless shelves lined with books.
- Hello, young sir How can I be of service to you?
Before he could be further impressed by the size of the library, he suddenly heard the sound of a robot speaking.
"Holy shit, what was that?"
'Damn it, I'm not going to start hearing voices, am I?'
Cassian wonders if the whole "waking up in a new world" thing has done more damage to him than he thought it would.
- I am the organising system of the Magic Library - every piece of information in this library has been categorised and stored by me
- Sir, if you have any questions or if you are looking for any specific information, please come to me and I will help you in the best possible way
- For better communication, please call me Talus
The robotic-sounding voice echoed throughout the library
"Damn, this world is starting to drive me crazy"
Sighing tiredly, Cassian made his way through the various rows of bookshelves, hoping to find a place to sit down and rest.
After some time he found a large table with a strange transparent round ball in the middle, with a weary expression on his face he sat down and laid his face on the cold surface of the table.
"So, Talus, you have all the information in the library, did I get it right?
He said it with a look that asked whether he had really just asked a magic voice.
- Yes sir you are correct
As the voice of Talus spoke, the transparent sphere on the table began to glow in different colours of light.
"Could you tell me who currently holds the title of Crown Prince?"
Cassian's tone was nervous, and Talus's answer would be the key to whether or not he had really been transmigrated to the world of a novel.
- The current Crown Prince is Arthur Eldridge, with his Light Element and Holy attribute, who was appointed Crown Prince by the Thirteenth Emperor last year.
"Talus, what is the name of this empire?
- It is the Gisea Empire, sir
"What is the name of the continent?"
- It is called Odora sir
"Shit"
Cassian had been hoping that at least one of the names in his memory would be incorrect, but unfortunately they were all just like in the novel.
Even though there was no one around to see it, he put his hand over his face to hide his expression.
It took Cassian a moment to get his thoughts in order, the world was no longer shrouded in darkness, but he was aware that a new set of problems was about to follow.
He couldn't remember everything, but it should allow me at least a few ways to survive in this world.
'I should have read more. I should not have stopped halfway through'
"Talus what's my name"
He couldn't remember everything, but he would have been familiar with most of the characters in the novel, but there was no mention of a character by the name of Cassian in any of the chapters.
- You are Cassian Lysandros of the House of the Marquis You are the second son of Leopold and Midana Lysandros
"Wow, so I'm an extra who was never mentioned in the novel, how funny".
Cassian's voice echoes through the library in a tone of amusement. But his eyes are more cold and calculating than ever.
