Soon the day came he was dressed by maids . But they still cannot hide thier hatred in thier eyes . Many families were invited .
But no one came near him because of rumours. How he was hated and neglected. Also my face was small and they seemed to believe the rumours . But it was better for me i quietly enjoyed my food.

He also did not see at at lunch so he was probably know hungry . And there was not even a basic needs for child in harsh winter.
He pitied him .
Next day he saw as he was going to pond to catch some fish and cook them with fire magic . And eating them. He shocked to.see.a.child use magic so efficientely . Then he also used madic to bath.
He saw as he started reading the complicated books .
The crown prince was amazed to see . But he also thought it was very pitiful to young childnto do it alone . Because crown prince was ten . The young child was only seven .
He then decided to talk to his father about it .
