10 years have passed since I got reincarnated, and I am loving this life more than my previous one.
I mean, I can get anything that I want just by asking even if it costs a ton or is an incredibly rare thing. I have caring parents who no matter how much they are busy as King and Queen of the country, always eat with me at least one time a day which makes me extremely happy, then there's Elsie, my maid, who is always ready to do anything I just have to word it.
The food is also incredibly delicious and luxurious like one I have never eaten on Earth and every day there's something new served to my taste buds. I couldn't even begin to imagine how much is spent on just food as I don't know what the normal price of edibles in this world is.
If I were to guess I would say around $1000 per meal or maybe even more if I have to eat these meals in my previous life. I also acquired a new trait thanks to the delicious and luxurious sweets that I have been eating daily but I don't mind it that much as I did like sweets even in my past life.
I have to learn a lot about Nobility, Elegance, finance, the geography of our world, economics, politics, and everything that there is to learn about as I am the only prince of our Kingdom and I have to lead it in the future, but I don't find those things difficult as even in my past life, studies was a thing I excelled at.
But things like -- How to behave properly as a prince, how to eat properly, Ball Dancing, etiquette befitting a prince, Music, etc. -- still give me a severe headache but I know that those things are extremely important considering my position.
And the Training that my father put me through after that Birthday Party if I were to describe it in a single word, it would be - Hell!
He taught me the basics of Sword Art of Everhart saying, 'A Prince should know how to defend himself and his country!' while laughing all the time as he beat me till I couldn't stand up without relying on my practice sword. Like Does he like to torture his only son or what?
But even when he teaches me the sword the hard way, I just can't swing it as he says, it's just not possible for me. I always feel like something is missing or maybe it's just my lack of talent for sword who knows?
However, the training that my father has put me through every single day for the last 7 years combined with my trait [Prodigy] has raised my stats quite a bit that they are now near to the level of a 12-year-old who is ready to be awakened.

"Sigh~ I want to go out of the castle. It's been a decade, and I haven't seen what this new world looks like." Reminiscing about how my second life had gone, I muttered under my breath as I looked out from the window of my room just to see the same castle grounds and walls.
'Char, can't you do something about it?'
[...]
'Tsk, seems like you are a useless system too just like any other normal one.' I, clicking my tongue, said this because I knew this would provoke Char and she would reply because she hates being compared to the normal systems. I got to know her personality pretty well in these ten years if I say so myself.
[Host, First and foremost, I am not a normal system. Secondly, I... I may just be able to do something about it this time.]
'H... huh?' I was startled by Char's unexpected positive response that I definitely wasn't expecting and how can I not? I mean, whenever I asked Char about this, she always replied she couldn't do anything about it and now, out of nowhere, she replied positively.
'You... you aren't joking, right?' I stuttered while forming the sentence probably because of excitement as this could very well be my first chance to see the world that I now live in after a whole decade.
[No, I am not joking, Host. I can try something this time because the host's intelligence has finally broken into the RANK D category and as a result, the 'Quest' function of mine got unlocked. But the Host has to be careful as if failed to complete the quest, the Host has to face consequences.]
'Consequences... huh' After listening to Char's response I pondered for a while about what kind of consequences would I need to face? Surely it can't be something big, right?
'I am ready to face any consequences if I can finally see the world that I got reborn in after 10 years.' I determined after thinking about it for a minute or two because if I refuse now, it might be possible that I might not be able to go outside for God knows how much time.
[As you wish, Host.]
After she said that, a list of notifications started coming through.
[Accessing 'Quest' function.]
[Generating 'Quest: Escape from the castle walls'.]
[1% 2% 3%...Error. Failed to generate quest.]
[Accessing 'Blessing of the Reincarnator'.]
[Generating 'Quest: Escape from the castle walls' again.]
[1% 2% 5%...99% 100% Generated.]
*DING*
Quest: Escape from the castle walls.
Time Limit: 24 hours
Acceptance Reward: [Extra Skill: Stealth (Mastery Lv.1)]
Completion Reward: 25 SP.
Penalty (If failed): Not be able to go outside castle walls for the next decade.
[Do you want to Accept this quest? Yes/No]
After the notifications ended, A blue screen appeared in front of me just like the status one but containing information about the Quest of going out of the castle. After reading it through I hesitated a bit looking at the penalty but quickly made up my mind as even without the penalty I might not be able to go outside the castle walls for the next decade.
I was going to accept the quest but then I noticed the completion reward as it was something that I had never heard of, so I asked Char before accepting the quest,
'Char, what is SP that is mentioned in Completion Reward?'
[Host, SP means Shop Points. They are used to purchase anything inside a function of mine 'Shop' which is currently locked just like 'Quest' was and will unlock when the host awakens magic. The host can earn SP by completing Quests or making crucial and right decisions in their life.]
'Ho! Most of the time I forget that you are an extraordinary system and have not even fully evolved yet.' I exclaimed while doing some flattery, albeit sarcastically, as I didn't even know how much more Char could surprise me.
[Hmph! Mere Flattery doesn't work against me, Host.]
Then why do you sound so happy and proud after hearing it?
[Ahem... Anyways, are you going to accept the quest, host?]
Isn't it clear by now? Oh, it seems I haven't clicked on the screen yet.
'Of course, I accept.' I replied at the same time clicking 'Yes' on the blue screen that was hovering in the air in front of me.
