Shadow was still standing stiff as he was observing the orb that was on the hard ground. Pieces of it still scattered in different places.
"I can't let them know that I actually have black magic. I'm also a sage but with two special magics. I would probably be forced to live my life in a dark room meditating while taking in energy to be weapon. Forced to be a bringer of death that came with the connotation from using black magic." He said this while smiling because he realized he started exaggerating. Only a little though because countries really did fight over the very very few that had access to the dark element. Being able to tame demons or even raising thousands of undead creatures were feats done by previous black mages. His father was able to do both which was why the Demnico kingdom used to be held in such high regards.
20 mins had probably gone by while he was thinking to himself what he wanted to do. He decided he would tell them about all his magic except black magic. He wanted to still be somewhat useful so he could still use their resources. He knew his mother might think of him as a waist of time if he wasn't at least a sage. After about 5 more minutes of him trying to meditate while taking in energy he heard a noise.
"So, what is my great disciple's magic." He said sarcastically while snickering.
"I'm a sage master, I can use space magic and all four bas.."
"Give me the orb so I can check before you start spitting out lies like some venomous snake."
Shadow hiccuped slightly as he bent down reaching for the damaged orb. "How did you break the orb shadow." He had said it so calm but with more intensity then ever.
"I dropped it when I had saw I could use a special magic. I didn't mean too I just.."
"Did the orb start to warp or anything. Try to remember because this is important.
Now that shadow was thinking bout it he kinda did remember the orb warping just a little when it had showed him the black spots. He decided he would say yes because it seemed like it might've happened before. "What if that just leads me more into trouble though. As much as I know how most people hate me around here I still get prince benefits. Without items idk if I'll be able to go as far by myself if I run away." He thought to himself contemplating on his answer.
In less than 15 seconds his master interrupted in a loud voice. "Hurry the hell up boy tell me I don't have forever. Not yet at least." He said in a low grumble.
"Yes, master now that I think back on it it did."
"Do you know how great this is, kid I might've been wrong about you. I thought I was just gonna get another two basic magic disciple. Instead I now have someone who I can pass my knowledge of space magic to. Not only that but your space magic is potent if it had effect on the orb. If I dropped that orb from thousands of feet in the sky it wouldn't break. The only thing that could break it is potent magic. Sadly your potential is down. You have no choice now though, you will learn magic.
"Master I would also like to practice martial arts too. I know it doesn't seem like I would be able to but I....."
"Yes you may learn both of course I would want you to now that you really are my disciple. I will make you a real prince, one that the true successors might have to fear. This does mean I will work you even harder than before. Though this means I'll have to change my plans for today. Don't worry tomorrow you will begin learning the basics of magic and fighting. Go to the Royal library today and pick a fighting style you like. Since you are royalty you should be allowed in for the most part. Although the next in line for Queen is there and she truly does hate you."
"Wait, my sister Kera is there?" Most of his royal family were from the seed of the queen and a male concubine. They were usually heroes to the kingdom they served. Of course there was a king but his power was less than the queen. Although there were many in the royal family there were only 3 successors. One being his demon sister kera, she hated him because his father wasn't a true hero but mostly only a servant. Most of the royal family believed he didn't deserve what he had especially her.
"Don't interrupt me again child, and just because I've taken a small liking to you doesn't mean you can drop off that master title. If it makes you feel better I'm not planning on hitting you but that's only because the torture you'll go through tomorrow will make up for it." He said in that same scary calm tone.
"Yes, master I'm sorry. Is there anything you want me to do after going to the library."
"Yes, train till your heart gives out your potential is still weak that didn't change. So, you will need to still train as hard as you can. Your space magic might come a little easier since it's potent. I'll see if I might have any training items for you to use to enhance the speed a little more. I might even be able to get an audience with the queen but first go to that library." He said this while disappearing instantly.
Shadow went to his room to change clothes and also went to the doctor in the castle to heal his bruises. He had actually built a stable relationship with the doctor.Especially since he was always getting hurt from the bullying. His name was Apollo, he had a skinny frame with crazy bloodshot eyes from long nights of work. He usually was healing people a lot since he was known as the best in the kingdom.
As shadow reached the room all he heard was screaming and a cold dark tone. "Never make that mistake again doctor."
