"Good morning my Lady, it's time to wake up and wash" I heard the maid as she opened those curtains and rays of sunshine enveloping my entire room.
I let out a small squeak and opened my eyes. I look at my tiny hands. I am 1 year old.
Are you curious why a 1yr old is narrating this story?
It's because I was born with a mature soul.
I am Azmaveth Assfrior Ryne vi Quillon, the first child of Reia and Rue vi Quillon, duchess and duke of the east of Zenobia. I will soon play a role in this world.
The days and months passed by. I am now 4 years old. We will attend the 5th Birthday of the Princess. The second child of the Zenobia Kingdom, Cerys Athasha de Zenobia.
"Should we really attend this party?" I asked my nanny/maid.
"Yes my lady. Since you are one of the nobles you are invited and everyone awaits your presence." She answered. Ugh! I hate parties. "Which one would you like to wear my lady?" She asked.
"The navy blue one." I plainly answered.
"Yes you are right my lady! You have awesome fashion. You are truly intelligent" she said while her eyes were gleaming. I think she's imagining again.
~~~~~~~~
"Let us all welcome, her royal highness, Princess Cerys Atasha de Zenobia and her partner for this party, Prince Eilif Cynfael de Zenobia"
The crown prince and the princess walk with elegance from the doorway to the center of the banquet hall where their parents are.
Boring. That's all I want to say. I want to go home and read books about the elements and barriers. That's more interesting.
*Yawn
This activity makes me sleepy.
"My Lady, you shouldn't yawn at this kind of party. They will think that you don't have an interest." My maid/assistant for the night warns me. That's what I feel right now, I say to myself. "Come now my Lady, it's your time to greet the princess. You should be the one paying respects first out of all the nobles." She continue and guide me where the Imperial family are.
"Greetings to the Imperial family, the Quillon family pays respect to the sun, moon and stars of Zenobia. I, Azmaveth vi Quillon wish a happy birthday to you princess Cerys." I said with courtesy. This small body is still adjusting and needs more time to grow. In short, my body can't keep up with my mind.
"We thank you Lady Azmaveth. If you will permit, Princess Cerys would love to have a small talk with you later." His majesty said. What for? I want to go home. If I can visualize my inner reaction, it should be with a deep sigh.
"My pleasure, your majesty." After that other nobles greet them.
The party starts at 11 in the morning. I hope this party is finished already.

"Thank you for waiting, Lady Azmaveth, Princess Cerys is here." The maid who guides me in this room of the castle announced. I stand up, do courtesy to the princess.
"You can leave us." I heard this cerys princess and the maids and knights leave the room. "I was told by my father that your gift is different from the others" I bet you. *Please insert 🙄 emoji*
"Of course your highness. We, the Quillon family will always give our best gifts" I said while bowing slightly. Snapped my fingers and a box appeared. I opened it and said "This hairpiece is not just an ordinary accessory. I will imbue it with magic so that little demon beasts will not harm you. When I learn how to cast powerful barriers, I'll make sure to cast it on you." The last sentence is not really true, since I don't want to use my powers just like that. It's a waste of time.
I looked at her and she was surprised. Hmm. Maybe because of how awesome I am.
"Did you also give my brother this kind of gift?" She asked while looking down.
"No." I plainly said. *Sigh I want to lay down on my bed. I'm tired. I think I heard the princess say something but nevermind.
*Thud
We both looked at each other when we heard a loud noise outside, like someone was smacked. I don't know.
Before the princess can say something, some armed men and their faces covered with cloth burge in the room.
I ready myself in a defense position while Cerys is behind me. " Who are you? And what are you doing here?"
"You brats shut up and sleep" the guy with the sword popped some bottles and smoke came out. Next thing I knew, we are no longer in the palace room.
