Celestine
You might ask why I despise being a child so much while it doesn't bother those MCs in the novels I used to read. Ah, how I miss those shitty reincarnation novels. Anyway I loath being a child because all children are expected to be wimps.
'Do this,'
'Yes mommy.'
'Do that,'
'Yes daddy.'
I am a grown up man for God sake. I am older than most of these people yet they treat me with such dismissal. You get it now right? We haven't even come to the things people do to children behind their mother's back, that'll make you gag and throw up. Really this world is messed up.
We had drank the juice and I was currently laying on the couch pretending to be asleep while daydreaming. I usually do this alot as it's not like I can hold an intelligent conversation with anyone. Suddenly a scream rang in the antechamber. I opened my eyes, a little startled, to see a girl about my age marching towards me. This child wore a blue dress with her hair tied up in an updo. Wouldn't that be painful for a child? Well it's not like I know anything about braids right? But still....
"Who are you?" The girl demanded stopping in front of Kina.
Kina looked troubled. "I am Kina, lady Resfiya's hand maiden."
"Who's lady Res....fi....ya?"
"Ah, she's your aunt."
"Oh, who's this?" The brat pointed at me.
"Ara, that's Saint your cousin." Kina answered.
"They was someone like that?" The girl muttered appearing in deep thought.
Who's this brat? Celestine? I didn't remember her being this loud in the story. Maybe being raise by her parents this time changed her behavior or maybe she's just young. But she's annoying. Should I knock her head? I will get executed wouldn't I? Or maybe boss lady Viktora will show mercy to her nephew. Who knows, you can't read these people.
"Why do you have long hair like a girl?" Celestine asked me.
I frowned down at her, then slid down the couch. Isn't it my mother's fault for preferring me like this? Now how should I deal with this brat? "Why are you always asking questions?" I asked back. "Who are you anyway?!"
"You don't know this lady?" The little girl asked with a straight face. Now this is just epic. Is this a six year old? Who talks like that?!!!!
"I don't,"
Celestine glared at me then straightened, lifting her nose up . "I will forgive you this once but never forget. I am princes Celestine Coldfire."
You think you are the only one with a title? I have a made up one! "I am Duke Saint Highvoid."
The little girl smiled mischievously. "Sainty," she said.
"Saint," I corrected.
"Sainty,"
"Saint,"
"Sainty,"
"Uh, fine."
"I win yay! Let's go and play Sainty." Celestine took my hand then looked up at Cvela. "You come too, are you also my cousin?" Cvela just looked at the floor not saying anything. "Eh?"
"Cvela is a slave princess," Kina said.
"Oh, then come let's play."
"A slave and a princess. This is...."
Kina was neglected.
In V'alkre every city lord is a king or queen, and the real king, the one on top was the priest. That's for those confused why I called the Coldfires city lords while they are referred to as royals. If this was in Crystalis the Coldfires would be like a duke house or marquise house. But still it would be unheard of for a child of that house to play with a slave. Yet none of the maids tried to stop Celestine as she dragged me and Cvela with her. Did Viktora give the girl too much power or does V'alkre have tolerance for slaves? I might have read the novel but some things weren't explained or I forgot. Besides this is a tampered world, who knows what I have changed? In the novel Alkers were said to be fair straight forward people so maybe that's it. I don't know.
Celestine led us through the castle hallways; me, my slave, Kina and another maid, the last two had to come along for the safety of their charge. The place we ended up was actually this brat's room. It was a spacious chamber with a big four poster bed. Toys were scattered on the carpeted ground. Damn there's a heap of them at the center of the room. Dolls, balls, wooden knights, toy swords, carriages and horses, what's that? A throne?....
This much toys but no one to play with right brat? Looking at Celestine this girl looks delighted. She must not have many friends her age which explains her scream when she saw us. The maid confirmed as much to Kina later on. That's how I spent the whole day in the castle forced to play just to look like a normal child. Arrg I can't wait to grow up.
