Chapter 4 Royal Prince

After Alibaba was born, an uproar had happened in the world. The neighboring kingdoms had also heard of the news of the third prince of Balbadd to have managed to cause a great miracle once he was born. Initially, many kingdoms's believed that this was just a hoax released by the nobles of Balbadd to make Balbadd be the talk of the world.

But due to the magician who was present when Alibaba was born also knew water magic. The magician had reported the event to the headmaster of Magnostadt Academy Metal Mogamett. When Mogamett had heard of this, he finally discovered where the feeling he had gotten from the day Alibaba was born.

Initially, Mogamett had planned to take Alibaba to Magnostadt to stay there as he saw that due to Alibaba's seeming insane amounts of magoi based on what the Magician named Marcus who was there when Alibaba was born said.

Since Mogamett was interested in Alibaba, he decided in the future once Alibaba becomes old enough to be able to learn magic. He'll visit Balbadd and see if he can influence Alibaba to go back to Magnostadt with him or at the very least become his mentor.

The Magician Marcus didn't spread the information about Alibaba as much and didn't confirm anything of the rumors said. But due to some pretty strong magicians from other kingdom's they had found out about the truth eventually and one of the first kingdoms was the Kou Empire. And Marcus from Mogamett's order he officially became the current royal magician of Balbadd instead of being just a temporary one as he initially thought he would be when he arrived in Balbadd.

The reason how the Kou empire managed to find out about the miracle that happened when Alibaba was born was that there was a spy that had stayed inside the Balbadd palace when Alibaba was born. The spy when he had heard rumors that the king of Balbadd was about to have a third heir and had planned to make the third heir be the king, the spy was initially ordered to kill the potential third king as the Kou Empire had planned to take over Balbadd once the old king Rashid died slowly.

The Kou empire thought of this because they had heard that the first prince was an idiot and was easy to manipulate, so they planned to use him to take over Balbadd slowly. But when the spy had accidentally seen the time when Alibaba was born and heard what the magician commented about it the spy retreated and reported what he had seen to the empire.

When the empire heard this, they decided to abandon their original plan and now had wanted to have an alliance with Balbadd. But as they thought what they could offer to Balbadd one of the Generals had thought of an idea and said " Wait didn't the Emperor's younger brother recently had a newborn daughter about a month earlier. And wasn't that girl also born by a lowly courtesan who was exiled Immediately after the girl was born. Why don't we use her as a political marriage to Balbadd to tie our countries together in an alliance? and since that girl still a young girl we can groom her properly to make her be a suitable marriage candidate for the third prince of Balbadd."

When the other people in the court heard this, they thought that the idea was a great one and then they decided to inform the current emperor and the younger brother of the current emperor about their proposal. When the first emperor Hakutoku Ren had heard this idea although he had thought marrying his daughter, Hakuei Ren would be a better option as he thought that marrying his younger brother's daughter as a possible marriage to another kingdom would be shameful.

But the first emperor just eventually agreed with the proposal as he thought he might be able to find other uses for his daughter. and although he can also try to offer her to the reim empire the price there, the Hakutoku wasn't worthy for her daughter even if they had magi there.

Hakutoku also had thought that Heliohapt kingdom prince could be a possible candidate, but he wasn't sure yet if he should offer it. And the other empires didn't have any other male heirs that were born in the age range of his daughter.

On the other hand, Koutoku Ren had liked the idea. As he thought that his just recently born daughter wasn't useful to him in any way and thought if he did offer her to the prospective third prince of Balbadd that seems to be a miracle child, he can gain the support of a future strong ally and think maybe in the future he overthrows the current emperor in his mind.

After a year after Alibaba was born most of the countries had discovered the truth of his birth, and now many of the countries had proposed an alliance with Balbadd which caused Rishad and the other higher-ups of Balbadd are cramped on what to do. But miraculously Alibaba who was just a mere 1 year old now seemed to be already a genius.

When Alibaba was just 9 months old, he was already able to walk and run, and when he reached 1 year old, he was now able to talk. Although he can still barely talk Rashid and Anise already noticed something amazing about Alibaba. Alibaba was a genius child recently just after he managed to walk he was also trying to read which surprised most of the maids and knights when they saw the third prince alone in the library randomly reading some books.

At first, Rashid, Anise, and along with the other people who saw Alibaba reading books they thought he was just interested in it but shocking Alibaba was already able to read on his own although due to his arms still being weak he still couldn't write. However, sometimes Alibaba uses the magoi in his body to form letters using it which surprised the royal magician Marcus that Alibaba is just a year old already managed to release magoi out from his body.

Due to this Marcus had requested Rashid and Anise to allow him to at least train the current prince in controlling his magic as Marcus told Rashid and Anise that Alibaba might lose control of his magic if his magic wasn't trained. And due to this request Anise and Rashid made Alibaba. train in magic at such a young age as a 1-year-old.

Unknown to Everyone Alibaba ever since he was born he seemed to already have a mature personality. When Solomon was sent into this world along with the unique rukh some accidental consequences happened. due to it, Solomon who was reborn into Alibaba had lost almost all his memories about his friends and all the events of Alma's torrent except his knowledge of magic, combat, politics, and business. and some mysterious magic technologies in him.

Another consequence was that the unique rukh was the original Alibaba's rukh which was about to be born but due to Solomon's interruption fused both of their personalities.

Currently, in the night of his room, Alibaba thought himself right after his mother Anise just left the room after tucking him in"Why is this ever since I was a kid, my mom and dad already told me I'm exceptional as I'm already this smart. ever since I was born I had flashbacks of memories I don't even know about and a world that seems similar to ours yet different. Am I really special just like uncle Marcus told me? And why do I feel some sense of familiarity every time dad tells me about Dungeons."

As Alibaba thought of this he fell asleep while he unknowingly the magoi in his body grew and his body started to change a bit with the body become stronger and firmer unlike a normal human baby boy normally is.
