Day time at 8:45 am , the weather was great as the 2 suns of the sky lit up the blue sky with their radiance
Inside the castle of Elkana a young man in his late teens , handsome and pretty at the same time with blonde hair and light green eyes was currently doing a single hand stand with magic weight braces that are setted to 100 kg attached to his legs inside his room , he wore an expressionless face despite sweating and being rather out of breath
The prince of Elkana
Stephen Elkana ,1st son of the king of Elkana, Gildaeus Elkana
" Aaarg "
And he has been doing this for 3 hours and 29 minutes since dawn to surpass his old record ,he even skipped breakfast for it
" { 1 more minutes, and I'll have it surpassed by 30 minutes } "
One minute later
Ssssss
Steam was rising from his body as he cleansed his skin with blazing red aura that symbolises destruction .
" Mmm "
Nodding to himself in satisfaction he put the magic weight braces away and got dressed in casual attire and rang the bell in his table inside his humongous room , instantly a black haired maid in her early twenties came inside and bowed
Maid :" I am at your command "
Stephen : "...."
Glancing at his maid who was as uptight as ever, his expression did not change despite the fact that he felt sad over this
" Food "
Maid :" (looks up and saw the weights places on the area which he just trained in) Protein and strengthening focused foods will be brought "
Stephen :" Mmm (nodded) "
The maid then left and later came back with a trolley full of nutritious food and war bison milk , Stephen's favourite
Stephen then eated with joy brimming from his eyes despite his unchanging expression, the maid who saw his shining eyes was secretly happy and a bit sad at the same time.
Knock knock
They both turned to the door,the maid went and opened it and frowned upon seeing who the visitor was
Shizela was standing there with her usual cheerful smile and waved her hand at the maid
" Hey Carmen ,is Stephen available right now?"
The maid, Carmen narrowed her eyes, she never liked this girl who always drags her master out whenever she pleases and plays with him like they're best of friends, they are though
" Master Stephen is eating right now ,wait outside ".
Shizela :" EeH?(furrowed her brows) That guy..(closed her eyes in resignation )..did he train and forgot about breakfast again? Geez...some royalty, well tell him to come to my room, the guy he brought back from the dragon hunt is awake now "
With that she left with her usual cheerful smile and goodbye wave leaving Carmen with a slightly annoyed expression
{ That beautiful brat, how dare she talk down to master like that( cracked her itching knuckles)}
With that she cleaned up her annoyance from her heart and went back and informed Stephen about the whole thing ,who came and for what
" The man is awake now ? "
" Yes master, it seems lady Shizela and doctor Karneus have taken good care of him ".
"..."( pondering )
Stephen :" You should've asked Shizela to come in "
Carmen's brows and lips twitch with the dissatisfaction
" It would be impolite of her to interrupt your breakfast master, so I sent her away and delivered her words instead "
" But it's fun with her around ".
" I'll make sure to invite her next time "
(She stated firmly, and lied as naturally as possible)
"Mmm okay then(nods at her and continued eating)"
After breakfast he then picked up his sword and left towards the castle's outer gate ,on the way he was greeted by dozens of servants and hundreds of people, nobles, workers, staffs and his cousins living in the castle
Standing infront of the main gate he looked at his father's kingdom which was wide, beautiful and clean, in the air people flew here and there without disrupting eachother, the tens of thousand buildings of different designs and height and the sound of nature mixed with the people's passing voices made him feel at home
" Haaa(exhales and took a deep breath) Mmm (felt rejuvenated, and then he looked to his left with a hint of curiosity) Carmen ,are you coming as well? ".
Carmen was in her casual attire but she still wore her maid badge, she was holding her magic broom on her hands and her spell book was strapped on her waist ,she replied with a calm and collected tone
" I figured I should come as well since lady Shizela's house is nearby, that is if you allow it master "
" .... "
Stephen : " Okay then "(he then blankly looked at the sky )
Taking another deep breath, the air around him started to change, and following that change
BURST!!
With force unbefitting the human body, he jumped up high in the air and ran on it using his red aura
Carmen also followed with her broom brimming with green mana
Carmen :{ There's no way I'm leaving master alone with that girl and some stranger }.

Creaaak
The door opened
" Hmm? "
Shizela :(enters her house) " Hmm? Ah "
As a veteran reader and watcher of novel, manga , cartoons and animes, this situation is very familiar and cliche, personally I called this situation, ' The walk in while the other is naked situation ', yes I was bathing in the bathroom in Shizela's house , washing up atleast was what I needed as I smelled of medicine after being treated by that doctor yesterday, and then this happened ,in this kind of situation I would always picture myself to be calm and collected as i replied to the other who walked in or the one I walked into like a manly Chad
But
Chhan :" KYAAAAA "
Reality is somewhat different
Shizela :" B..big,Ah !"
Infront of a beautiful and prim girl like the Shizela ,an introverted nerdy highschool student like me could only scream like a girl when I was seen changing into my underwear while I am butt naked ,but hey atleast she said it was 'BīG', it would've been a huge damage if she said ' Small ' instead
Shizela :" (Widened her eyes as she snapped back to reality) I.. I'm sorry, (Rushed out and closes the door)".
And I who felt for the first time this level of embarrassement and surprise hurriedly changed into my previous white clothes, and grabbed my head as I calmed down
{ calm down , let's calm down, she only saw me naked ( recalled 'Big' ) }" Arrg" (blushed) " Oh man "
