Past to Future

All the following days and months passed for me according to the schedule drawn up by my parents to teach me everything I needed. Studying with my mother in the library, training with my Father in a special hall. As well as lunch, dinner, etc.

Sometimes Mom personally takes me for walks around the castle to show me the places I didn't know about. It's just that the lock is too big.

To be honest, at first it was difficult for me to understand all these feelings of true love of my parents for me. I've been an orphan in an orphanage since I was born. In order to survive in that very society, I tried to be strong and independent from others. I even had friends before who eventually betrayed me and meanly deceived me. What I have on a mental level is a defense against trusting others.

And just remembering and comparing my past life with the new one. I realized that I was deprived of a lot of things, I even shed tears from it all. Mom herself was very frightened by my sudden tears, I could barely calm her down.

On one of the walks with my Mother, I met new faces. Some man with a boy about my age, although I was about to turn eight years old. Externally, the boy had raven-black hair. His eyes were red, and there were tattoos of the same color under them. He himself wore quite rich clothes, which showed his social status in society as a noble son.

His name was Sean Michie-Fraust. I couldn't resist and decided to talk to him and learned some things about him. He is quite calm, but also ambitious for children his age. He wishes to become a general of the demon army like his Father in order to continue the family business of his home.

Sean is quite an interesting guy, but so far he and I are not on the same path, So we have not become close, but I will try not to forget him.

As far as I know from books, the house of Michi-Fraust is famous for its strong warriors and firm discipline. All members of their kind have a special racial ability "High Physical Strength", which puts them above ordinary demons. Of course I was surprised when I found out, but then I found out that many houses have some kind of peculiarity in their ancestral branch.

I also learned that demons have basic racial abilities: demonic aura, demonic transformation, berserk. When I realized this, I thought that I might have been discovered and thought that I was not a completely normal demon. But then when I finished reading that book, I realized that such forces awaken only at the age of eleven or twelve at most. And I realized that I have time.

The question is, where can I get such powers? How do I prove my normality among demons? After all, the magic ball will give me away. And that's when I decided to ask Niva for advice and got an amazing answer.

[Your parents' bloodline is in stasis. Since you had the "Supreme Demon" bloodline. And so that nothing unforeseen happens to your life, it was chosen to first assimilate the "Supreme Demon" bloodline, since this was your desire initially and when you assimilate it by the age of 11, you will be able to accept the genealogical genes of your parents. I also advise you to increase training for your body, since the process is extremely painful and strongly depends on the will and a strong body. If the body is weak, then death or something irreparable may happen.] — Replied Niva.

That's what I learned then. And I decided to follow Niva's advice and focus more on strengthening the body. It also answers my question why my Father didn't doubt me when he read my status. Now everything falls into place. In order not to take risks, I read several examples where there were also cases that some representatives of the race did not awaken the basic abilities of their people. They could even awaken completely opposite abilities, but this is already something related to mana and genetic codes in the descendants.

By the way, one day, when I was already nine years old in the middle of the year, a certain incident happened that slightly struck me. As usual, my Father and I were sparring a battle to improve my skills, when a maid enters the hall and tells us the news.

— Your Majesty and Highness. I am ordered to inform you immediately that Mrs. Amy Hiroko, summons you to her immediately for important and joyful news. — Clearly and respectfully informed the maid.

— Okay, you're free. — The Father answered, almost without looking in my direction blocked my blow from the block.

— Son, I'll go first, and so train with the Elite knights. Since you need to finish this training schedule. After training, you can safely go to your mother. — The Father answered, putting the dagger back in its sheath and walking to the exit.

I looked at those same knights in black armor and with one sword in their hands, without shields.

"Very well, Father. I won't let you down. — I replied, realizing that in principle my Father is right, but I'm also curious.

The father just nodded and left.

Then I started a light sparring fight with Elite demon knights, who had been trained for years or centuries to be experienced warriors and knights. They fight with a sword in one hand, doing magic with the other. I remember doing something like this in the game Skyrim, it's very convenient, but it becomes very difficult to defend yourself.

And after the long hours I spent fighting the knights, my status for all my long months has become like this:

---{Status.}

[First and Last Name — Meliodas Diablo]

[Level — 17]

[Age — 9]

[Gender — male]

[Race — Supreme (hidden) demon]

[Racial Abilities — Dark Matter (hidden), Hellfire (hidden), High Physical Strength, High Regeneration.]

[Abilities — Score[ur6] (hidden)]

[Strength — 130]

[Dexterity — 110]

[Endurance — 2000/2000]

[Protection — 80]

[Mana — 7800/7800]

---

Looking at the result of my training, I can only praise myself and call myself a genius. But as Niva later informed me, such a result is not enough, you need to train even more. But first I'll go and see what kind of important conversation this is.

____________(From the first person of Noriva Diablo)

After I broke up with my son, I immediately went to my wife Amy's room. But I also thought about my son.

His potential amazed me. Until I saw his status, I didn't expect such a level of opportunities in his future trainings at all. He has quite interesting racial abilities, especially "High Regeneration", which is present in special representatives of the Vampire family, as well as in true vampires. He also has "High Physical strength" like the house of Michi-Fraust.

But then I tried to keep a slight surprise on my face. Otherwise, he may grow arrogant and arrogant, which may ruin him in the future. Racial abilities do not have a level, since everything depends on the carrier of these powers. And having such abilities, my son may think that he is invincible among other demons, which will also lead to error and death.

Although sometimes it's hard for me to understand what's going on in my son's head. Sometimes he behaves very much like an adult than like an ordinary child of his age, and sometimes he behaves according to age. My son is complicated. Although remembering what others said about me in my childhood, then there is a fact rather than a question. Well, as they say, "It is difficult to understand geniuses, and the sons of geniuses are even more difficult."

But when I wanted to know his potential in terms of combat, I again got a slight surprise at his potential. He was able to read my old movements, which few people were able to do then. Although now I have a new style of movement in a real fight and he would hardly have coped with this level, but that's not about it now. He was even able to use mana to cover weapons, and judging by the color and aura of mana, he has a great predisposition to darkness. Although for most demons it is often fire or earth.

I also separately tested him for a magical gift, forcing him to use a simple and very weak spell, but the result was very terrible. He can't use the spell properly without spending almost all of his stock, and then the result is not high. Perhaps this is his payment for a great talent as a possible great warrior.

As soon as I arrived at my wife's room, I hugged her with a smile on my face.

"What's wrong, dear?" What important news have you decided to tell me? I asked.

— Darling, where is our son? Amy asked.

— He has a workout that needs to be done. I had a desire to bring him here, but I think he just has to finish training. Maybe I should have brought it with me. I answered thoughtfully.

"Don't worry, darling. I wanted to inform you and Meliodas that we are going to have another child. Amy said suddenly.

From such words, I slightly lost my grip, as I was trying to process my wife's last words. And when I finished, I hugged her even harder and began to kiss her.

-*Smack*-

-*Smack*-

— This is great news! It is necessary to inform the whole Kingdom that another member of the Royal Family will be born soon! No, wait, first you need to call special specialists and doctors. They have to determine the time and the imminent date of the child's birth, but then we have to arrange a whole holiday in honor of this! — I began to speak joyfully, having already begun to make plans.

— This time we need to increase the security throughout the castle by three, no, four times better! —

— Darling, calm down, you haven't forgotten what a commotion was made because of your caution in relation to the birth of your son. At that time, circumstances demanded it and it was understandable. But it's better not to make too much noise about this. Amy told me with a smile and her eyes closed. Strangely, that smile sent goosebumps all over my body.

"H—Okay, I won't arrange too much security like that time. But I will put a guard against murderers. I replied, giving up.

— I am glad that you are also happy about this event. And how are things going with our son? Amy asked.

— As for our son, I hasten to please you. His potential amazed me. Judging by his current height and pace of training. Then he will be able to become at the level of the forces of the Higher demons of the nobles, somewhere in 30 years. And if you double your efforts, maybe in 27 years. I replied, surprising Amy. Yeah, because she herself became the Highest Demon noblewoman, only in her 50 years. And I'm only 36 years old. And we are geniuses among demons, and our son is something with something.

— In the future, he will become a very strong demon among all the others, there is no dispute about that. Maybe even stronger than you. Amy replied, surprised.

— Let's discuss the rest of the details of everything later. I need to prepare everything necessary for the future birth, as well as strengthen the security of the castle. I also need to inform Meliodas that he may have a brother or sister. I replied, getting ready to leave my wife.

— Eh... you don't change. You always relegate unpleasant or difficult topics to the background for you. And then you decide all this on your own without anyone's help. Amy replied resentfully.

— Perhaps, but this is my way and I have accepted it. Rest, dear, most likely Meliodas will come to you soon and you will be able to tell him this news. I said, already walking to the exit.

— Good luck and I ask you not to take everything on yourself alone.

— Thank you…
