Chereads / The Genesis Of A Necromancer / Chapter 9 - The Arrogant prince

Chapter 9 - The Arrogant prince

Jack woke up as the bright sun washed his face with warmth.

He rubbed his eyes, cleaning off all the remnants of sleep that was left in them.

He had spent the whole night drafting out future plans that he had no idea when he had slept off. Now he was welcomed by he the new day.

He was yet to know why awaited him, if he said that, then his night would've been a waste.

In fact he was well prepared to welcome his visitors. In his Asriel's life, the church had been a really sharp pain in the ass.

But Jack had already armed himself with the best tactics to deal with them.

He dropped his legs down from his bed, staring at his frame in the mirror that laid on the wall right by the side of his room.

"The lady of the church huh? Let's see how much she'd do this time" Jack's lips curled into a mischievous smile.

He was already growing bored of doing nothing over the past few years. Now he had the chance to fully go wild.

This was his first personal mission, and he was going to make sure he made dragged the church I made through the mud, just like they did to Asriel in the past.

Jack walked over the strewn velvet mat to his large wardrobe.

He took a moment to admire his new life again.

What more could he ask for, he had magic, a personal master-sized bedroom and even a whole wardrobe of clothes, what else could he ask for?

He picked his best outfit, his short pants and a light blue jacket made with the best material of it's kind.

Today, was a wonderful occasion, the day when the two born sons of the King Aldermond would be blessed by the lady of the church.

Something Asriel had waited in anticipation for. 

"Here the prince comes!" He so much admired himself, and he didn't care less what anyone else said.

"Prince Asriel, your presence is needed urgently " A calm voice said behind the door. It was Urek his personal servant.

He appeared kind, and looked to be very smart, calm and collected.

In fact, he was the very definition of the word butler, as he stood up to the name quite well. But all this didn't matter to Jack, the point was, 'his still my servant and personal butler' 

"I'm busy, or have you grown to old to notice it?" Jack's voice dripped cold as he replied, unfazed by the old man's age.

Urek wasn't shocked by Asriel's reply, it was expected. He had gotten used to the brats arrogant attitude overtime.

"Very well, as you wish Prince Asriel" Urek replied, as he took his leave.

Asriel smiled at this, the feeling of being in control was something he really loved.

"Ahh, time to head out." He said after looking at himself one more time in the mirror.

As he walked out of his room, he walked through the hallways his shoulders held high.

He made sure to stop by each soldier that lined the hallway.

"Have you gone stiff? Can't you show respect?!" Jack threw a questioning gaze to one of the guards who didn't salute as he passed.

The guard was taken aback. How could a little boy muster such courage to speak to him like that?

But remembering the 'little boys' status, no one dared to raise a finger at him, despite how arrogant and disrespectful he was.

And to top it off, this boy wasn't only arrogant and disrespectful, he was a sly, cunning young brat.

He was the simple definition of stubbornness.

To all those who worked within the castle walls, they knew everything he did, but whenever hid parents appeared within range he would act like a cute little angel.

"In your next lives be born as prince's and princess's, maybe you won't have to work for someone or under someone." Jack smirked as he noticed the hateful gazes of al the workers.

He had quickly become the hot topic of the whole castle.

"His step brother is way better than him. If we let that arrogant bastard become the next king he'll definitely bring this kingdom to it's death..."

"I couldn't agree better, his young brother, prince Arin is way more better than he is. Not only is he humble, his caring and kind and his...his handsome " the female maiden finally managed to pull bout the words that hung in her lips.

The sides of her check burned bright red as she imagined his face.

"But you can't deny the fact that Prince Asriel is way more finer despite how arrogant he is" Another chipped in, receiving hateful glares from her mates.

However, none could stand up against her, because in fact she was right.

Jack walked the whole house, this was just one of his daily missions from the system to keep him healthy and slowly grow his strength.

But of course, he didn't miss out the opportunity to hear all the juicy secrets flying around about him.

"Ah, so I'm still more handsome at the end?" His ears perked up a bit as he passed the group of maidens that quickly straightened themselves, scurrying away.

The only thing they didn't know was how keen his senses had become overtime.

"I guess it's an effect from absorbing mana. Or is it an extra ability from the system?" Finding all these things out were still things Jack had kept up in his to-do list.

As he walked a short distance behind the castle, the system finally pinged.

It was the end of his long mission, and now it was finally time to receive his bountiful rewards.

[Daily Quest complete! Walk two kilometres daily ]

[Here are your rewards!]

Jack licked his lips in anticipation, but remembering what the system had given him last time quilled his anticipation a bit.

"I swear if I get diapers for completing the daily quests again! I'm gonna dump it, I don't give a fuck what penalties you have!" Jack yelled out angrily as the golden streak of light shone.

Then appearing right on the foot of his palm was a bright bronze key.
