chapter 1

"Master, A letter has arrived from the royal places " the old butler said.

The Duke was working in his office at that time. Duke of Astaseul duchy ,His hair was sparkle Red like lily flower and dark Blue eyes, his clam face looked so handsome while working on paper wearing glasses.

"Give it to me" he said. The butler gave the letter to the duke. Duke calmly opened it and started reading letter.(there is no reaction while reading the letter his face is always cold as ice)

After reading the letter he put it in the table and said "where is Ahren? Call him here".(the Duke asked to the butler who was standing in front of him, even though he was talking to the butler his eyes were on papers)

The butler said "young master is in the library,  I will call him right now" (he bowed down as a sign of respect and went out)

A few moments later  the butler entered the room and said "young master has arrived". "come in" the duke said.

A little boy entered the room. It seems like he was only 5 or 6 years old. He had brown hair and dark blue eyes just like the Duke.

"The butler said you were looking for me father?" he asked.

He was the dukes only son Ahren Astaseul and he was 6 years old.

"His Majesty the emperor requested me to teach His Highness Edward Sternshine swordmanship" the duke said while looking at Ahrens eyes.

"I will accept his request so his highness will be coming here to learn swordmanship , Keep a good relationship with him, help him with anything he needs help with" the duke said. "Tell the servants to prepare the room next to your room for his stay, There should not be any problem" he said while starting to write a letter.

"I will do as you say father" Ahren said.(he had no reaction just like his father as cold as ice)

"You can leave now, and call the butler for me" the duke said while writing a letter for his majesty. Ahren said "Yes father" and left. While going back he told the butler that the Duke called him.

On his way to his room Ahren thought "Edward Sternshin.... the 2nd Prince I heard his name first time from nanny when I was 4, Everyone one was talking about that how the prince wasn't able to awoken his power because he was a concubine's child"

The members of the royal family awokens their power when they are 5 years old. As the first emperor was a dragon. Dragon blood is flowing in the royal family members. And Edward was unable to awoken his power, unlike his half brother who awakened his power of dragon at his 5 year old his power was greater than the current emperor. So no one paid any attention to the powerless Prince.The 2nd Prince became 7 years old this year.

Ahren was in his deep thought. He went to the head maid and told her to prepare the room and went to the library and continued to do his study...
