Twenty Years Ago

<20 years ago>

Alexis was ten years old. He sat on the window frame while watching his younger siblings playing together. He glanced at Andrea, who was playing with Archie, building a small sandcastle. He slowly opened his book and began to read.

He was the eldest son of his father. He looked down on his younger siblings who would only be his followers when he became a king. Thinking about him being an adult made his smile bloom.

"When I become a king later, I will only have one child," he mumbled.

He looked at his eight siblings with pity. His sixth and seventh siblings were born at the same time to two different concubines. Besides that, he also had other siblings who were twins. They were really pitiful because his father paid no attention to them at all, other than their wealth.

Alexis looked out the window. "Hm… I wonder where is Father now?"
