Chapter 4 - 4. Status

Listening to the information that 'it' was sending, I couldn't contain my excitement and curiosity, so as soon as the notifications ended, I immediately thought 'Status'.

[Displaying Host's Status]

As soon as 'it' said, a blue screen appeared hovering in the air displaying my status.

----------

I don't know why, but seeing my status feels like I have seen something like this before. I should not be able to understand what these standards are, but I can understand all of the stats. 

'But where have I seen something like this?' I tried hard to focus on my memory but got interrupted by 'it'.

[Host don't try to focus too much on your memory. As you can see, your passive skill [Perfect Memory] and original intelligence are sealed, if the host tries to remember something that is sealed, your brain may start bleeding putting your life in danger.]

'Why is my memory sealed?' I stated my doubt as I started growing suspicious of its behavior.

[As the host is just a baby and a baby's head cannot contain all the information the host had in his previous life, I sealed some of the host's memories that I deemed unnecessary for the host's current life for now.]

'Hmmm, then when will they get unsealed?' I asked still feeling slightly suspicious.

[They will get unsealed when the host awakens his mana and magic power.]

'Awakening huh... well if it said that they are only memories that are not necessary probably they weren't.' 

Seemingly reassured by its response I focused on the blue screen once more and noticed that my charm was ridiculously high,

'Maybe because I inherited genes of those two beyond gorgeous people.' After scanning my status thoroughly, I asked about what I didn't understand.

'What is Blessing and Explain my Blessings too.' I asked as it was the only thing that I didn't understand.

[Certainly, Host. A blessing is when Gods and Elemental Sovereigns deem a soul worthy enough and bestow upon it a fraction of their power.]

[Host's soul is quite special in that regard as the host has the blessing of the God of life and death and two elemental sovereigns. It is said to be that sovereigns only bless people in a millennium or so.]

[Host has three blessings: Blessing of the Reincarnator, Blessing of the Almighty Water Sovereign, and Blessing of the Wind Sovereign.]

[Blessing of the Reincarnator is the Blessing bestowed upon the host by the God of Life and Death himself. This Blessing helps the host to understand any language spoken in this world, and provides certain buffs to the host's system, aka me.]

[Next is the Blessing of the Almighty Water Sovereign. The Strongest Elemental Sovereign of this world has blessed the host with his blessing recognizing the host's potential. Any form of Water cannot hurt the host in any condition and After awakening Host can freely manipulate Water Mana to his will. Moreover, as this is the blessing of the mightiest sovereign, the host has the potential to become the mightiest being that has ever breathed on this world.]

[Lastly, the Host has the Blessing of the Wind Sovereign. Wind Sovereign has blessed the host with her blessing. Any form of Wind cannot hurt the host in any condition and after awakening, the Host can freely manipulate Wind Mana to his will.]

Huh, I knew that my soul was special, but it was this special I had no idea about. But there's one other thing that I wanted to know,

'Why there is [Prodigy] listed as my trait? I am not even one year old right now; how did you even decide on it?'

[...]

[Host have you ever heard of a baby who has the intelligence of an average child?]

'...Riiiiight' I mean I didn't think it like that but why did it sound disappointed in me? Wasn't it a part of my soul? The more I talk with it, the more it seems like a different entity than me. Talking about 'it' being a different entity, I still haven't decided how to call 'it'. 

'Hey, what is your name? How do I call you?'

[I do not possess any name, host. I am just a system, and you can call me that.]

'I am not calling you 'System', Your voice contains a lot of emotions to simply call you a 'System'.' I replied immediately after listening to its response and I mean its voice contains a lot of emotions to just simply dismiss it as a system.

[...]

[Host can give me any name that host wants to.]

'Name huh...' I can name 'it' anything I want. Then-

'Your name would be Char.' This was the best name I could come up with after thinking for like ten minutes. I don't know why, perhaps due to a divine interruption?

[...] 

Why did it sound disappointed in me again? All right all right, I accept I am not good at naming!

[Name of [Otherworldly System] updating to [Char].]

[1% 2% 5%.... 99% 100% completed.]

[Name of [Otherworldly System] updated to [Char].]

When Char was in the process of updating her name, I noticed the gate slowly opening and then the maid who had come here with mother and father in the naming ceremony came in without making a sound.

She had shoulder-length blonde hair; she was not particularly beautiful or maybe she was but nowhere near mother's beauty but the most noticeable feature of her was her scarlet red eyes and as I looked at her eyes fear started welling up inside me.

'Did she come here to kill me?'

'Shit, I can't defend myself in this body.'

'Was she an assassin?'

'Doesn't she fear what would happen to her if she killed the prince?'

Various thoughts started crossing through my mind and I started crying so maybe someone would come and save me from her. 

Hearing my cries the maid started coming near me and my cries grew louder and louder with each step that she took, and fear started developing into sheer horror as I continued looking into her eyes, only God knows for what reason. Then she extended her hand towards me, and I shut closed my eyes tightly trying to get ready to say goodbye to this world just the day after getting reincarnated.

But the moment I was waiting for never came true, instead, I felt a gentle touch on my cheeks which made me open my eyes and I saw her caressing my cheek with affection. Her eyes which terrified me before, were looking at me with the care that one displays towards her most precious thing. Then she said what I least expected from her,

"There's no need to worry, Your Highness. I am assigned to be your maid. I will do utmost of my ability to protect you from any harm." The maid said with affection, still caressing my cheek, maybe trying to stop my cries and it surprisingly worked.

My cries stopped, the feeling of fear vanished after listening to her voice that sounded like a melody and my focus shifted to the words she said. She said that she would protect me from any harm, Am I in any kind of danger?

'Char, could you check her status?'

[Certainly, Host. After all, I am not an ordinary system!]

And then her status screen appeared in front of me, and I was stunned by taking a look at her stats.

----------

----------

'Well, if she said she would protect me from any danger then surely, I won't be in any kind of danger, right?' I thought that after seeing her status; but little did I know at that point of time that what was going to happen in the future will not only flip my life upside down but the whole kingdom too.
