Crimsonheart Principality, Red Dust Palace.
Inside a luxurious room a young boy was sleeping, his brows frowning.
The young boy has thin build, jet black hair, a face cute like a doll. It can be said that he will grow up into a man that liked by all ladies whether it is young or elderly.
He is the crown prince of the CrimsonHeart Principality, Ashton von CrimsonHeart.
"Wake up, prince-sama"
A beautiful voice called out to Ashton, sighing as if tired.
"uh-huh?"
"ah...Marie"
Ashton also woke up rubbing his eyelids. As he opened his eyes two enchanting ruby red eyes can be seen which are unique to Crimsonheart bloodline.
But there is something you need to notice that Ashton's eyes are more red than anyone else with Crimsonheart bloodline which shows that his bloodline is purest.
Ashton looked at Marie whose full name is Marine Silves which means she is of a noble house. She is from a Barony which is a vassal of Crimsonheart House. Her father runs a food business in Crimsonheart Principality.
Marine is a 24 years old personal maid for Ashton, she is taking care of him since he was 2 years old. That is why Ashton trusted Marine very much.
Marine has black hair that are tied to a bun, with a beautiful face, she is 5.7 ft tall with long legs and C - cup breasts. She is wearing a maid uniform that has a symbol of Crimsonheart House on right chest.
"wake up prince-sama, you should also get ready. Today you have only archery class."
"alright"
Ashton replied as he stood up from the bed and streched his limbs.
"what about mother and father?"
Ashton asked to which Marie replied.
"Sir and Madame are busy in preparation for tomorrow."
"what's happening tomorrow?"
Ashton asked curiously. Marine who was folding the bedsheets paused and looked at Ashton for a few seconds before replying.
"Prince-sama have you forgotten tomorrow is your Awakening ceremony. Don't tell me you don't remember."
"w-who's forgotten, I remember of course I remember."
"alright."
Marine sighed and didn't say anything more.
After finishing his training with his instructor and taking a shower Ashton headed towards the dining room for breakfast.
Ashton reached before the dining room and pushed open the door. The dining room was huge almost 5 yards and there was a large dining table which can be seated by at least 50 people at the same time.
But what noticable was that there was only a single person or a little girl of 8 years was sitting and looking towards the door eagerly as if waiting fo someone.
"Sandhya"
Ashton called softly his little sister.
As soon as Sandhya heard the call she jumped from the chair and rushed straight towards Ashton hugging him tightly.
"Brother! Where have you been? Don't you know that Sandhya is waiting!"
"You big meanie!"
Ashton just smiled helplessly at his adorable little sister while caressing her head. As this was not the first time he was seeing his sister acting cutely.
"Alright alright, brother is sorry, okay?"
"Brother was training, so that is why I got late."
"humph alright I will forgive brother, but Sandhya
is still angry. Sandhya will not forgive brother unless he agrees with my 5 wishes."
Sandhya seperated from Ashton and immediately raised her 5 little fingers triumphantly as if her plan went smoothly.
"alright tell me"
Ashton sighed since he knew what his mischievous little sister was thinking.
Seeing her dear brother agreed to her Sandhya was pleasantly surprised and blinked her beautiful ruby eyes and asked excitedly.
"Really! you are not lying to Sandhya, right?"
"yeah, now tell me what are your so called wishes"
Ashton asked exaggeratedly to which Sandhya snorted and replied.
"humph, alright I will tell you, but you can't back down now you have promised me, or else I will tell elder sister that brother bullied Sandhya."
As soon as Sandhya mentioned the word elder sister Ashton shuddered. He got reminded how his elder sister will beat him mercilessly in the name of training.
But the funny thing is that she is also the one who will aply medicine to his bruises and take care of him after 'training'."
His elder sister name is Nisha Crimsonheart, she is 3 years older than him and is already at peak of Evolution rank. Nisha is talented in both magic as well as in sword and is now training to become a magic knight. You have to know that a talented person take at least 8 to 10 years to break from Awakening Rank to evolution rank. And it will be even slower for those who are training in two or more ways. Which shows her talent.
Nisha is also very smart because she is the only one who can defeat Ashton in chess, war strategy, or any other mind games.
But it doesn't mean that Ashton always lose to Nisha, sometimes he will also win against her but those are negligible. She is very competitive as Ashton manged to gain even a single victory she will not stop until she beats him more than ten times in a row.
"o-okay, tell me princess what are your orders"
Watching her brother's reaction Sandhya smiled mischievously and said
"Firstly brother must spend the whole day with Sandhya"
"okay but I will be only accompanying you till evening since tomorrow is my awakening ceremony so I have to be in my peak state"
"Ah! right! Sandhya almost forgot that tomorrow is your ceremony. Alright since that is the case then Sandhya will reluctantly agree."
Sandhya patted her forehead as she forgot about tomorrow's event in her little mischief.
"okay! now secondly brother have to play with me war board."
"Done. And next"
Ashton agreed to play with her. War board is a strategy game that is played on board, it can be played by two or more. In war board you have to choose your faction, kingdom etc. In War Board you have to set a few conditions first accordingly and the winner will get various prizes from the opponent.
"thirdly...."
After agreeing to her all requests Ashton led Sandhya to the dining table and as soon Ashton sit on the chair Sandhya immediately sat on his lap.
"hehe... brother don't forget this is my third wish that you will feed Sandhya and you agreed to it."
"But the condition was only to feed you-"
"humph! I will sit here and you have to feed me here"
"sigh... say ah!"
Ashton can only sigh as he knew how stubborn can be his sister sometimes and helplessly feed her."
***
At night.
Ashton laid on bed and closed his eyes to sleep.
Today was long day for Ashton, first he had to feed Sandhya and then play War Board with her. Sandhya didn't get a single victory against him and started sulking and complaining that she will tell Nisha that he bullied her.
Ashton can only silently pray that Nisha would not be too harsh on him. But he knew that it was futile. He would not get any mercy from Nisha as Sandhya was most doted and loved. If she complained to Nisha she would definitely beat him in the name of 'training'.
"oh god! save me!"
Soon ashton fell asleep as tomorrow he has to be in his best condition. While he was sleeping he heard and ethereal voice, but to him it was very creepy.
"come Ashton~ I am waiting ~"
a/n: whose voice it might be?
