Starting Show 1

"Seriously, what do you want from me?' I asked William in annoyance. At the same time, he was ruffling Persia's hair gently before answering.

"It's just... my brother has been annoying me lately. So-"

"So you just want to annoy me too?"

"Wha! No! It's just..." Fidgeting his fingers to another, he tried his best to say what he wanted to say. "Can you give me an advise on how I should deal with him?"

"I see..."

Unbeknownst to me, a grin appeared on my face that was thankfully covered by my mask.

Taking a piece of paper from the table beside me, I began writing something inside it.

It didn't take long for me to finish it and when I do, I placed the paper to the table saying, "This'll solve your problem."

"What is this? An ingredient?" He asked, prompting his head to the side.

Which I replied with, "Yes." Stretching my body that had turned stiff because of the long journey, I walked forward to the mirror.

What I wrote inside the paper was an ingredient and steps on how to make something I regretted eating in the past. It was a sugar-free gummy bear that can make someone's intestine desperately scream like crazy.

I could still faintly remember when it happened.

It was the last semester when it happened...

I was around 18, probably? Not sure, because that happened a long time ago. While I was wondering around the city that day, I decided to go inside one of the store since I saw that a lot of items were currently on sale.

And there they sat: two bags of Sugar-Free Gummy Bears, buy one get one.

"What a deal!" Or so, I thought naively. I would eat one bag before the test and the other was after I got home.

After I sat down to my desk, it didn't take long for the professor to give us the test questions.

On question fifteenth, it finally happened.

My stomach began grumbling like crazy, that was quickly followed with a sharp pain in my abdomen.

I don't really need to explain the full details of the story because at the end of the day, I managed to pass the test. Thus, as for the second bag of the satanic gummy bear I ate, I burned them all at the backyard after I got home.

The pain that I've felt that day was something I don't want to talk about... because what I've experienced was like pure hell.

Somehow, after thinking all of that, my body unintentionally shivered by itself.

"Are you feeling cold?" William asked.

Which I replied, "No." As I shook my head in response to his question and turning my head back to face the innocent couple.

"I see..." He said, while his hands was caressing Persia's cheeks.

Persia, on the other hand, tried to reach out her dedicated hands, pinching William's nose, as she snuck her head onto his lap, using it as her pillow.

Seeing them do their antics once again, wild thoughts began showing up on my brain.

I seriously want to burn these two... Stop flirting in front of me, for god's sake!!

"Anyways, when will you be planning to leave my room? You know, what your doing is a bit rude to be honest considering that you're a prince in this country."

"I-I see... We shall get back then." He said before taking the paper that I've placed on the table.

Just right after they left, the growth effect of the potion has finally ended, as my body began shrinking back to normal.

When this happened, I hurriedly locked the door on my back. Looking around the room for a bit, I let out a long sigh of relief.

If they decided to leave a couple of seconds later, they might have found out that I'm still a child. Though, thankfully they didn't, so I don't need to worry about that anymore.

Stretching both my arm up, I went ahead and took a quick shower before putting on my comfortable clothes I brought from the carriage.

After everything was done, I hopped onto my bed to take a quick rest.

Since I reached the castle in evening, and talked with the King himself for a couple of hours, my whole energy was pretty much drained.

"Huu... I could finally rest at ease." I muttered to myself. At the same time, I snuck my head onto my pillow, as I slowly closed my eyes to sleep.

Somewhere inside the castle, there were two black cloaked man talking to each other.

"Where is it?" The first one to speak was the guy that had a snake tattoo on his right hand that reached up until his neck.

Clearing up his throat, "Here, sir." The other guy said, giving him a book full of information about the.....

After the guy with a tattoo took it from his hands, he began examining what was inside. Then, after he finished, his lips curve into a smile.

"I guess I'm done here..." He said, before placing the paper inside his storage necklace.

Right where he was about to leave, he suddenly remembered something.

"Oh, yeah. There seemed to be a new guest around here."

"Y-yes." The other guy stuttered while answering. Lightly coughing to clear his throat, he continued, "The man's name is Blanc. Apparently, he was the one who saved the prince from the bandit's ambush we setup. And also, unlike the other people inside the castle, he seems to be much more stronger than them except for the King himself."

"I see..." The other guy with a tattoo began smiling once again after he heard what the man said. "As long as he doesn't get in our way that much, we don't need to get rid of him."

After he said that, he went into the portal that appeared not awhile ago.

After I woke up, I immediately went to the bathroom to take a quick shower.

Not long after I finished, I drank the growth potion, put on some clothes and went to the mirror to check myself. Gently combing my hair using my palm, I also added a wax to make my hair to the side.

Since today was the day I'm going to embarrass a certain person, I decided to put more effort in the way I dressed.

Normally, I wouldn't use wax in this type of situation, but since I'm bored and had nothing much to do, I guess I should try and put more effort on myself.

Well, it's not like they'll see my face anyway. I still need to wear a mask when I'm going out. The hair is just for the style.

Looking around, my eyes then focused on the box at the corner of the room. Inside it was the potion I used to make myself look older.

"Three potions left, I see..." While muttering to myself, I placed my fingers under my chin before continuing, "I guess I couldn't stay here more longer than I thought."

After I finished setting myself up, I suddenly heard a loud knock at my door.

"Open up, you some of a bitch!!"

Oops... I totally forgot about this guy.

After opening the door, I saw a man, probably 16 to 18 years old above, looking at me angrily.

"Y-you!! So you're the one who told William to feed me that food." The man said, grinding his teeth out of anger.

"What do you mean by that?" I tilted my head in confusion.

Seeing this, the man who's hair is aurburn, almost similar as William except that his hair was more longer and darker than him, gave me a look of disgusted, before saying, "You fiend, you dare lie to the Prince of the Imperial Kingdom."

"I'll never lie to his Highness, Ryan." I said so, sarcastically. This made him even more enraged, as he tried to rush over me but was quickly stopped by William by himself.

"S-stop, brother!" William said, trying his best to hold Ryan off away from me.

I wanted to stuck out my tongue after seeing him like this, but due to my mask that was covering my whole face, I can't do it even if I wanted to.

Although this may cause me having a bad relationship with 'this' prince, since I already have William, Persia, and not to mention, King Adam at my side, I don't really need to worry about this guy becoming my enemy in the future. Besides, I've already fulfilled my first mission.

"Well, then... Can I go now, your Highness?" Tilting my head aside, I did my best to make it sound innocent. Though, this actions probably added more fuel to the fire.

"You motherfu--"

Right where he was about to finish his sentence, a man suddenly appeared.

The man straightened his back before saying, "His Majesty has been calling out to you, sir Blanc. So please, follow me." firmly.

"I see..." Fixing my collar, I silently followed up behind him.

Finally, it's starting... I muttered inwardly to myself.
