The Frivolous Prince

[2] Meeting my Lover

Another year has passed, I’m currently two years old and I can stand and walk on my own. I need to pace myself learning new things since everyone is already calling me a genius.

I don’t know what they are excited about but everyone is preparing for something, it may be for me? Though my birthday is already about two months from ago, everyone is taking care of me and my younger sister more than any other people, so I assume the event involves the two of us.

I can already understand their language so it’s easy for me to know what’s going on. Although I could do that, no one is talking about it near me. I should have learned Enhanced Hearing, though I didn’t learn anything from two years of my life here so I don’t blame myself for this. Let’s just say that it would be a surprise for me.

I was carried outside the castle and saw a bunch of people. There are a lot of people that are dressed very well in the front. I assume that they came from other royal families since there are other children here with the same age as me and as my younger sister.

“Everyone! Thank you for attending this event. Thank you for your presence since this for sure would be a remarkable event for everyone. The genius prince is also here to have his magic aptitude to be measured,” the King’s Secretary said.

He’s talking about me, right? For sure, I have high magic aptitude since my previous life will affect how my magic is graded. I’ll wait for their cheer after my turn.

Okay, first things first. I overheard that this event happens only every three years. That's why my magic level is not graded up until my second year here while my sister is also having hers.

Second thing, the magic level being measured right now is the base level of everyone of us. The level can go up if you could train yourself. So in my previous world, it sounds like you need to gather experience for you to level up. They measure it every three years since they are not seeing any level change for children aged 6 years old and below.

For older people that want to have their magic level updated, they need to personally go to the temple where the magic level is being measured. It’s a hassle for me, why can’t we measure those things on our own. I’m seeing a flaw already in this world.

“Okay, the first child to be measured is Heindelle from the Dencliffe family,” the King’s Secretary said.

Why is my father the one doing this? Is this really a part of being a secretary? No time for questions, let’s see how they would measure his magic level.

They just put the baby near a basin with a magic crystal in the center. Now they’re pouring water on his head, this ceremony feels so familiar. A number pops up from the crystal, I can’t see it from my view.

“Heindelle Dencliffe, magic level 4,” the King’s Secretary announced.

Ohh! Everyone cheered, that means that number 4 is really high for our age.

One by one the other kid’s magic level is being measured, I can’t wait for my magic level. With that number I can infer how powerful I can be and what kind of magic I’ll be able to use.

“Okay, we got third to the last child, Amaya from the Sinclair family,” the King’s Secretary said.

Amaya, her name sounds familiar. It’s close to my previous lover named Maya. Wait! 

As I looked at the girl’s face, I’m sure that her face looked exactly how Maya looked in the same year as her. She also looks like her reincarnation, could it be that we’re both reborn in this world? 

No, that’s not possible. Maya died 150 years before I did so I don’t think that’s possible unless it’s her second reincarnation already. Anyway, since we’re both kids right now, I couldn't do anything about it.

“Amaya Sinclair, magic level 6!” the King’s Secretary announced.

Everyone cheered. That’s to be expected since the past measurements are commonly 3 or 4 and rarely 5 so having a magic level 6 is really something to be cheered on.

“Thank you, Sinclair family for having another very promising child in the Kingdom of Prisma,” the King’s Secretary said.

The mother and the father of Amaya bowed their heads.

Eekk! Why does her parents seem disappointed with this kind of magic level?

“Now, from the Kleinhaus family, the first princess of the current King, Zeana Kleinhaus! The eight prince of Kleinhaus, Zeus, got the highest magic level ever recorded with magic level 7 in the same age group, let’s see if these others would beat that record.” the King’s Secretary said.

Oh! I thought they would measure my magic level first since I think she’s more special than me. Maybe because everyone is calling me a genius kid and expecting me to have a high magic level. To be fair, I also have exactly the same thought.

So the reason that Amaya’s parents look disappointed is that they wanted to beat the record, huh? Also, being the second to the last family to be measured means that they are also second in ranking compared to my family. I hope they wouldn’t be more infuriated as my magic level is measured.

Zeana was held near the basin. I could see that everyone was very excited about how the reading would go.

“This is truly amazing! The one that beats the old record, Zeana Kleinhaus, magic level 8,” the King’s Secretary excitedly announced.

Uhh! Their cheer is so loud, it hurts my ear. Everyone is overjoyed that these two parents are very conspicuous. Their faces are so furious, they should at least hide their emotions from other people.

Enough of them, this is where I will shine. Let the legend from the human race be known through all mankind.
