3 The Psycopath

A chilling voice came out from the prince's body.

"Where am I? I thought I died. What are these memories in my head?"

Suddenly the body let out a shriek as his arms moved to clutch his head in anguish. He felt as if his mind was being torn to pieces.

*AHHHH*

"I am Alexander, royal prince of Eastland, no I am not Alexander, but I am!"

Shaking his head in agony, with his tone changing from arrogant to confused and many more emotions as if he was crazy before finally collapsing once again.

...

In the snowy forest, there was a little girl at the age of 6 and a young adult. The little girl had clear blue eyes and bright blonde hair with the whitest skin, although she was currently little, she would most definitely become a beauty in the future when she matured. As for the other person with her, he had sharp blue eyes and fiery red hair. He was also heavily armored in a knights attire with a longsword across his sturdy back, he gave off an intimidating feeling.

"Gareth! There's a person there!"

The little girl ran towards the body to see he was covered in blood and that it was unconscious.

"Milady! Step back, it could be dangerous."

"I'm fine Gareth, I think he's dead"

Hearing the little girl's response, Gareth started examining the body to see there were no visible wounds on the little boy's body.

"Where did all this blood from if it wasn't from his body?" Gareth thought to himself quietly.

Gareth then slowly bent down before placing 2 fingers on the boy's wrist. Waiting patiently, he felt a very faint, pulse.

"Gareth is he alive?"

"Yes, it would seem so"

"Then let's take him back to the carriage and get him treated!"

"Milady, I am afraid of his unknown origin though, he could potentially bring harm to you"

"Gareth, stop being so wary. He's just another boy at the same age as me, I doubt there's anything he could do with you protecting me all the time as well"

Sighing at the little girl's response, Gareth stopped speaking and picked up the body before moving in a direction.

...

In a small inn just outside the royal city of Southland, Alexander was calmly laying in a bed before he started laughing at the realization of something.

*HAHAHA*

"The heavens gave me, the most wanted criminal, another chance at life!"

Back in his world, when he was born he was fundamentally different from everyone else. He couldn't feel emotions like others. He had no regard for life as he found enjoyment in killing and torture. He especially longed for the feeling of satisfaction when he was able to kill his target after a long and rigorous plan. He was the living embodiment of the devil. As for what people called him... he didn't have a name, he didn't have a mother or father figure, the closest thing he had to a parent was the lady who took care of him and all the other kids in the orphanage but eventually, even she began to despise him.

*creak*

The door suddenly opened as a young maid came in, she looked to be in her mid-twenties and had dark grey hair and eyes with pale skin.

She came in to clean the room, but seeing that Alexander had woken up she immediately rushed out.

Faint sounds could be heard from the maid, "Sir Gareth! The patient has woken up!"

While Gareth was walking towards his room, Alexander could hear the armor chattering along with his heavy footsteps.

"Hello, I am Gareth of the Royal Knights of Southland, may I ask for your name?"

"Alexander Rowland"

Since the psychopath hadn't had a name from his previous life, he decided to use his body's previous owner's name.

"Rowland?! You are the prince of Eastland?"

Hearing his family name, Gareth re-examined Alexander, noticing his appearance matched the features of the royal prince of Eastland he started speaking in a much more respectful tone.

"May I ask why you were unconscious in the snow?"

Because Alexander was currently in a place where he had no power, he explained everything that happened to his country without hiding a single thing as it seemed news of the attack hadn't spread yet.

"We're currently outside of the royal city, when we depart, we will take you to meet the king, for now, we should get you some food and then get you some new clothes"

Alexander definitely needed food and new clothes as he had been unconscious for days and his current clothes were ripped and in tatters.

Standing up, Alexander stretched before proceeding to follow Gareth outside the room, when he was greeted by a bright face at the same age as him"

"Hello! My name is Alice! What's yours?"

"My name is Alexander Rowland"

Before Alice could respond, Alexander's stomach growled

"Let's get you some food," Alice said while giggling.

...

After getting some food and clothes, Alexander was now neatly dressed in a basic white shirt, and some shorts. But, even while wearing simplistic clothes, he was able to give off the aura of a noble as he followed Gareth and Alice.

"Alexander, we're getting ready to depart, is there anything else you would like?"

"No, I'm fine."

"Okay, please sit in the carriage"

Sitting in front of Alice, Alexander was put under the barrage of questions of this curious little princess"

"I heard you were the prince of Eastland, is that true? Are you also going to the Greywood Magic Academy still? What are you going to do now?"

Answering her questions one by one and conversing with Alice, time slowly passed as they slowly arrived in the royal palace in Southland"
