Chapter 4

Today was when I would meet Angelica, a few days had passed since I was able to use Mana. Lucas had spread the word around the entire Holy Empire, that his son had managed to form a Mana core in 5 weeks, although my talent didn't seem to be on the same level as Angelica. I was still regarded as a prodigy, normally nobles would've tried to spread rumours rather than just telling everyone and making announcements.

But I wasn't a normal noble, I was the heir to the Archduchy, I was someone who was held in high regard. As such, mere rumours wouldn't be enough, the entire continent needed to be aware of me. It may place some pressure on a normal child, but this world's children developed much faster both mentally and physically due to the presence of Mana.

As such, 15 was the age of adulthood, but even then. Even then, kids were stupid so even if they did develop somewhat faster. They did do things like bullying and whatever else kids did.

I didn't really know what kids did since my childhood was destroyed before it even began.

But that didn't matter, I was in a new world, I had a chance to start over.

Right now I had a new challenge ahead of me, to make a good impression on Angelica. She had already awakened her Angelic Bloodline, and one of her abilities was to see the true nature of people. She could also understand their emotions with a glance, of course she stayed quiet and only the emperor knkws of her power.

After all, she'd probably be somewhat isolated if people knew that no one could hide anything from her. There was another thing that she hid, even the emperor did not know of this secret.

She was a sadist.

No seriously, she was a huge sadist. There were some not so family friendly scenes in the game, and to say the least. She enjoyed seeing the protagonist in pain, and when she fought she'd make sure her opponents would feel as much pain as possible.

And to top it all off, she had healing magic.

She would sometimes use her healing magic on her opponents, I'm sure you can see where this is going. And I didnt want to experience that, as such, I made sure to ask the maids to get me the highest quality stuff.

I was wearing a white suit and white shirt, the suit was threaded with real gold. The gold was threated on the edges of my suit and around the cuffs. The material of the suit was made from a high quality silk that came from a foreign country. My trousers were black, they looked simple but they were of the same quality as the suit. I didn't wear a tie with the suit, simply because it wasn't a formal event.

I looked at the mirror, I looked adorable, my crimson eyes looked innocent and my face was rather pure looking. I had a somewhat feminine looking face, it seemed like my mother's genes had passed onto me rather nicely. My white hair swayed as a breeze came in through the window.

I was called outside by a butler who lead me down the stairs of the mansion, yes I lived in a mansion. I mean I was rich so why wouldn't I?

I was going to be taken In a white limousine, nobles used to flaunt their insignias a few centuries back when technology wasn't so developed. But we started going by car purely for our own convenience, I mean the capital was on the other side of the country for some nobles.

I entered the limousine and a chauffeur greeted me with the utmost respect, he was a personal servant of the family. We'd lost face if our chauffer served others, my mother and father were driven from place to place by their personal servants. I would probably have Anastasia driving me from place to place in a few years.

But that was in the future, now I had to cross the bridge infront of me. That bridge was called Angelica Godhart.

***

After an hour we arrived at the Royal capital, it looked fairly normal. The streets were bustling with people and the roads were fairly busy, there were lots of shops on the streets and even food vendors.

We promptly arrived at the Imperial castle, this castle was the pride of the Holy Empire. It was huge, like really huge. You could fit several hundred families in it if you wanted, I was greeted by several maids who bowed and led me to a room. I noticed that the castle's interior was made with a nice white marble, I was then taken into a room.

It was Angelica's bedroom, it was probably to make it easier for us to talk. And make a more friendly environment for us to play and get acquainted.

The maids bowed respectfully and left, after a few minutes an adorable golden haired girl walked into the room. She had golden eyes that seemed to understand everything, she was wearing a beautiful red gown that contrasted nicely with her hair and eyes.

Her face and skin were snow white and devoid of any imperfections, she also had this aura of grace. It was a passive ability of the Angel's bloodline, it made the user give off this noble yet graceful aura.

She had already awakened her bloodline, there rumours that she awakened it when she made her Mana core. There was no real normal for as to how long it'd take to awakene one's bloodline, but awakening it this fast was unheard of.

I still didn't know what attribute of Mana I possessed, there was a clear difference in our talents.

I looked at the girl infront of me, children would be flustered and adults would want to pick her up and hug her. She was adorable, she looked as good as I did.

But that was what normal people would have felt, I felt nothing. I felt no rage, jealous or even attraction.

Authors note

I repent for the semi cliff hanger, I just don't think it's a good idea to start the next little bit in this chapter.
