The Prodigy

After waking Annie up with a kiss, we get dressed and head to the dining room for breakfast. Mother, Father, and Derrick are all present. Before I've even sat, my mother asks me,

"Dear, has that herb bath you took helped you regain your strength?"

I nod my head,

"Indeed. As you can tell, my muscles are far more defined. I'm able to walk for miles on end without any help."

She smiles and says,

"I'm happy dear. I was worried that this mixture would end up backfiring, but I'm glad those worries were unfounded."

I smile back and speak to my father as the food arrives,

"Father, I reached the first circle last night."

Duke Iraton nearly chokes on his wine as he hears this,

"Ehrm- I-I haven't given you the technique yet, how on earth have you managed that?!"

I chuckle,

"Well, father. After my herbal bath, I felt something change in my body. While I had already sensed mana before, it was always a passing feeling. However, I suddenly became aware of it last night. I felt as though a blanket of warmth had laid itself upon me. And then, I felt waves of cool energy flow over me. It felt as though this energy could choose to be both, or neither. I felt my pores open across my body, and begin bringing in this energy. Almost instinctively, I lead this energy to my head and formed it into a circle. I most likely could have reached the second circle last night, but I felt slight trepidation for reaching such a state without your advice."

My family's faces all go blank. What I just described to them is exactly what Gaera described for her first circle. Duchess Irania looks down at her food, thinking. While father begins speaking,

"Well, I don't believe there will be any issue with you training this way. So long as you feel no pain during your training, you should be fine. However, the second you feel any pain, stop immediately and come see me. I'm always here."

I nod my head, and we finally move on to the meal. The rest of the day is spent rather plainly. Mother and I took a walk in the garden, I played a game of chess with brother Derrick, and I talked about the territory with father. Speaking of, father and mother will need to return to the territory soon. During the time that I was dead and recovering after, they hadn't left the capital. The territory is basically swamped in paperwork. They said they'll be spending about two more weeks here, and practically begged me to stay here and recover a while longer.

Currently, I'm at the training grounds. I'm wearing the workout gear that Annie and I bought after the whole thing with Jenna. I'm sitting down on a picnic blanket that Jenna had brought out with us. I close my eyes and begin circulating mana through my body. I'm trying to make myself seem like an absolute genius, so a few minutes after I begin, I fake myself going through a breakthrough.

I make the mana in the air around me feel a bit heavier, which causes the people around me to stop what they do. It's generally good practice to stop what you're doing when you're around a person who's breaking through, as any distraction could cause them to fail.

I make a circle appear on my forehead, and make a second one begin forming. It forms rather rapidly, only taking a few seconds. Without even taking a break, the air around me gets even heavier as a third circle begins to appear on my forehead. I can hear gasps all around me, as the people surrounding me see this third circle. This almost puts me on par with my brother, who is a fourth circle mage. Of course, I'll make sure that I surpass even my father by the end of the next two weeks. No need to hide myself away. I'll flaunt my strength.

Later that night, I had a conversation with my family that went something like this;

"Gasp! Guffaw! Shock! Awe! Worry! Acceptance!"

And, as soon as everyone went to sleep, I teleport down into the little prince's holding area. He's sitting on his cell floor, trembling. Probably has a bit of frostbite. He is both underground and sitting on a cold cement floor. I teleport him onto the bed and warm him up. Though, I keep him chained up. I look at him and say,

"Good news, bud! You're gonna be getting out of here!"

He looks up at me with shock as tears begin forming in his eyes. He speaks in a broken voice,

"R-r-really?"

I smile at him warmly. I then snap my fingers, sending a blast of energy into his face. He falls to the bed as if he were dead. I then crawl over to his head and sit beside it. I look down into his blank eyes and speak,

"That was a cute reaction. You really had hope that you would ever get away from me? Oh, sweet little Aiwin… Don't worry, I'm sure you'll grow to enjoy it eventually. After all, you'll be doing it for the rest of your elven life!"

I put a finger on his forehead and begin changing his body. His face grows more feminine and clear, becoming soft and supple. His hair changes into a light pastel green. His eyes change into bright blue gems that seem to sparkle. His lips turn into a soft pink that seems to draw you in, begging to be parted. His ears sharpen and grow long, sprouting about four inches from his head.

His body shifts. Cracking can be heard as his ribcage grows thinner and loses muscle. His arms lose definition and look almost like a porcelain doll's. His hips grow wider, and his ass gets thicker. His dick stays the same size, but looks softer than before. All the hair on his body, other than his head, disappears in a cloud of smoke. His thighs grow in size, and his calves shrink. His feet shrink down, becoming dainty.

As soon as his body is done developing, color comes back to his eyes and he jumps backwards in fear. In a high pitched voice, he squeaks,

"Wh-what did you do to me?!"

I smile at him and say,

"Nothing much, just dolled you up a little. After all, you'll need to be pretty for your new line of work!"

He looks at me with anger and says,

"And what exactly would that be?"

I send another blast of energy into his forehead, sealing his consciousness away and putting another one in control of his body.

I hold his chin up and look into his eyes, whose pupils have changed into hearts. I speak in a whispering tone,

"You'll be a toy. For the rest of your life."

Aiwin looks at me while panting and says,

"Yeeees mistreeeeess~"

AN: I wanna give you guys a heads up well in advance, I'll be applying this book for premium at the end of February, possibly March. I want this to eventually be my full time job so I can upload more consistently and put more effort into my books.

I know this book has had a bit of a rough start, but I think this could be a turning point.

...

Hopefully.

Also, while I don't upload this book on there, I have a pat.reon where I upload my other books in advance, as well as a few books that aren't releasing yet!
