Part 2
Cp 3
A long, long time has passed since John came into this new world. In this passing of time, a lot has happened. Not surprisingly, two weeks after his birth, John was given a name.
He didn't like the name he was given very much, to tell the truth, he hated it, the name Fernando chose for him, he couldn't stand being called Fernando Júnior, it was pathetic.
When John remembered the vow he made when he was not yet born, he had no choice but to accept the name.
Over time, John finally learned to speak at the age of 2 and learned to walk when he was one year and nine months old.
When John turned five, he began to try to find out about this world he was in.
John knew from a very early age that it was another world, based on the events prior to the indeterminate time that John was tortured by the darkness.
He knew that the time he spent in the darkness was not days, weeks, years, but centuries or maybe millennia, well that was what John speculated he could be wrong, he could have spent only minutes or even seconds, John decided not to think too much about it.
Every time John completed another year of life, Catarina and Fernando would throw a banquet, guests came from all over, after all Fernando was a superior being and lord of a territory.
Strengthening relationships was a great opportunity, John was touched by this, in his past life John was an orphan from a very young age he could only count on his younger sister, but now he had parents who loved him.
In this passage of time, as Fernando predicted, there were no incidents on the border, just a few skirmishes here and there, but the primary and base warriors and mages could deal with that.
During this time, a lot happened, John learned a lot, without even leaving the castle, John learned to read, he learned all the mannerisms of the nobility from chivalry, etiquette, literature, culture and so on.
As time passed, what excited John most were the basic truths of the world that he learned. He discovered that his family was not the only semi-human species, there was a great diversity of species in this world.
In this new world, there existed something extraordinary called spiritual energy, which allowed the use of magic.
Over time, Catarina and Fernando practically drowned John with love, pampering and countless books.

Venhorst Castle
John was very happy because he was now old enough to walk alone, now adults would listen to him, in recent years John has been feeling unwell, for two reasons.
First, he has been very worried about his sister on earth, at the time John crossed over to this world his sister was only 16 years old, she was still in high school, he also missed his friends and coworkers.
John's second concern was that he was an adult playing and acting like a child, this was frustrating and tedious, worst of all he felt he was deceiving his parents.
In the last year John tried to tell the whole truth about his situation, but he was too scared.
No matter what, if he tells his parents about his circumstances, there's no telling how he would be perceived.
Your parents may not even accept you as their son.

Venhorst Castle.
At Venhorst Castle, in the dining room, Ferdinand, Catherine and John were having dinner as a family.
At the table, the waitresses served a rich, hearty dinner, with various delicacies. At the time, John was already accustomed to the gastronomy of this new world. There wasn't much difference between this world and Earth when it came to gastronomy. Of course, this was compared to Earth in medieval times, not to modern Earth.
John had his fork suspended in the air, since dinner was served John had not taken a bite of food, clearly he wanted to say something to his parents, but there was no way.
Fernando and Catarina had noticed his behavior for some time, but they didn't give their son any freedom.
After some time, Fernando broke the silence.
"What's up, Junior? You didn't like the food? Want something else?"
John responded apathetically.
"No... The food is good."
"Then why don't you eat? Instead, you have that funeral face."
This time it was Catarina who spoke.
John decided to spill the beans, tell them once and for all, after all they were his parents, they had a right to know.
Just as John was about to open his mouth to tell the whole story, Fernando stopped him with a wave of his hand and said.
"Let's have dinner first, whatever it is can wait a bit, I also believe your mother won't want to hear it, it must be man talk."
When John heard this, he was stunned, clearly Fernando misunderstood him, but before John could resolve the misunderstanding, Fernando continued saying.
"Don't worry."
Fernando was proud of himself for understanding his son so well. On the other hand, Catarina smiled slightly. She knew that it wasn't anything like that that Fernando was thinking.

After dinner, Fernando and John were sitting in the dining room, John then asked for his mother's presence, after the matter concerned the whole family.
