Prithvi

"Prithvi contains the main 4 continents along with many islands which spread throughout the four great seas", said a man wearing a blue-colored robe with golden borders.

He was wearing glass with thick lenses probably for his nearsightedness and was holding a heavy book in his hand.

And just in front of him sat two young children, listening to him intently.

No! It was only one child that was listening to him intently, the other.....

-Snore

He was sleeping comfortably making himself cozy.

-Snore.

Kanad, the Royal Magician who was in charge of teaching the twins, belatedly noticed the act.

-that!

He hit the table in front of him with the book and fumed in rage at the sleeping kid.

"For god's sake, Ashoka! This is the thirty-fifth time, I am lecturing you not to sleep in class!"

"Ah...?! Did I do something, teach?"

Ashoka asked waking up while scratching his ass like he couldn't care less about it, which made Kanad dive deeper into a rage.

'Did you do something? You are sleeping in the middle of my class, you fu*ker!'

That's probably what Kanad wanted to say, but Kanad held back his urge as his life was dearer to him than lecturing the kid.

"You are supposed to listen to the class, Ashoka. You can't sleep here"

Even though Kanad was a royal magician and himself a 5th-class magician, even he would not be able to speak to a Prince in a harsh manner, which would be considered as a disrespect to Ashoka's father, the Emperor.

"But your class is very boring, teach"

Ashoka said nonchalantly.

'Ah! how can he say that straight to my face!'

Kanad thought inwardly while he showcased a wry smile.

"Even though it's boring, you need to know about the world around you", Kanad tried to convince the rude child in front of him.

"I already know about that though, my gramps had thought me all that"

'This kid! Why can't he be a little more like his brother? Are they really twins? there is so much difference between their personalities.'

Kanad thought while looking back and forth between the innocent-looking blond-haired angel kid and the black-haired devil-like problem kid.

Even though their appearances were somewhat similar, their personalities were miles apart.

But what can a puny royal magician like Kanad do? He could only endure his rage in front of the royal princes.

Besides, Ashoka was born and raised in the 7th magic Tower that too under the direct guidance of the Sage of Diligence.

For magicians, Magic towers were considered a Holy place, where there is immense knowledge and wisdom.

And since Ashoka had grown up reading the books in such a place for the past six years, there was only a little Kanad could teach him.

Even more so when Ashoka had mainly searched for information regarding the world he had been reincarnated into as it was his main priority and curiosity.

And of course, he had managed to learn more than enough about it.

The world in which he was reincarnated is known as 'Prithvi'.

Prithvi contains four main Continents along with many small and big Islands spread all over the four great Seas.

The Four major continents were known by different names all throughout the world but the most popular was.

1. The Central continent, occupied by the great Mauryan Empire

2. The land of God where the Holy Empire stood tall.

3. Alliance of Seven Kingdoms which housed different species.

and lastly the most dangerous, 4. The Fallen Lands.

Books didn't contain much information on the Fallen lands except its name, so Ashoka was hoping he could learn in it Kanada's class but he was only disappointed knowing that Kanad didn't even teach everything Ashoka was aware of.

But that feeling was only restricted to Ashoka.

Sudhatta, who sat beside him was listening to the class intently.

Although both Ashoka and Sudhatta were thought by Sage Vyasa, they were just children at that time.

It could have been easy for Ashoka to remember all that since he had the memories of his past life and an increasingly curious mind about this world.

But for Sudhatta, who was just a three-year-old child at that time, it couldn't be considered anything more than having fun.

"Ah..."

Ashoka sighed seeing the sight of his twin watching Kanad with sparkling eyes and stood up.

"Okay teach, You can continue the lessons, I am Out!"

"What..?wait..!.Ashoka....!><? you can't just leave the class like that, Ashoka!"

Although Kannada was saying that, he inwardly thought, 'Phew! He finally left.'

***

The Capital of the Great Mauryan Empire, Patliputra.

In the royal palace.

Bindusara Maurya was sitting on the Golden throne with an upright posture and an arrogant expression.

He was merely sitting on the throne, but the nearby ministers and soldiers wouldn't dare utter a word as they silently waited for his permission to talk.

-Nod.

Bindusara gave them a nod of approval and a man who looked like a knight came forward.

"Glory to the great Mauryan, Long live the Emperor. This is Cain from Tempest Manor"

It was the guardian knight who had obeyed Ashoka's orders and taken the bully brothers to the doctor's ten days ago.

"What is the matter?"

Bindusara asked as his voice solemnly resounded throughout the royal court.

"I have come to report about a dispute between the young masters at the Tempest Manor."

Cain said carefully watching his tone.

The Emperor gave a glare to Cain.

"There's no way you'd waste my time just because of a dispute between children, right?"

The Emperor's question was more like a threat to Cain.

"I wouldn't dare, your majesty"

But Cain was a Knight with more than 30 years of experience.

Even though he didn't have a high position, he was someone who had the courage to fight alongside the previous Emperor on the battlefields and there was no way he would be intimidated by such words.

He carefully explained the details of the incident to the Emperor while maintaining his composure.

As the Emperor listened to him, a small smile grew on his face.

"So, did the brothers die?"

That was his first question.

It could be seen in his voice that he couldn't even care less for them even though they were his own children.

"They did get acute pneumonia, but their lives aren't in danger, your majesty"

"Then they must've learned an important lesson. I see. You may return to your duty."

"Understood."

Cain placed his hand on his right chest before bowing to the Emperor and leaving the royal court.

Cain had desperately struggled to come all this way from the far east of the Mauryan Empire, traveling for ten whole days just to make this short report and he didn't even show a bit of discontent when the Emperor ordered him to leave without any rewards.

Maybe that was how much loyalty he had for the throne.

He silently returned on his horse towards the direction of the Tempest Manor.

While Cain was on his way back, there was something else running on the Emperor's mind.

'I should go see them for myself,.....the genius twins!'
