An Old Friend

" Good morning young master", Sylvia my personal maid greeted as she walked into my room in order to begin her duties for the day.Sylvia was an average height middle aged woman in her thirties, she had brown flowing hair and sky blue eyes,with a pointed nose.She walked to the end of the room towards the windows and parted the gigantic curtains letting a ray of sunlight into the room. I get up from my bed looking like I just escaped a tsunami, I look in Sylvia's direction and she gives me a warm smile, then went towards the massive wardrobe that was at the far end of the room. She flug the doors of the wardrobe open and began picking out clothes. She then called out to me; " Young master, would you prefer the gold or the red suit for the occasion''. "Any colour would be good Sylvia, I'm not really a party type of person, why don't you pick, surprise me". I told Sylvia as I walked into the bathroom to wash my face. "Young master you know His Majesty would want you looking your best for today's occasion, after all it's not everyday you turn seven, dignitaries from all over the kingdom will be in attendance and it would nice for you to look your very best. I even heard the first prince on the Dragula Kingdom will coming, you know he's the same age as you are, it would be nice for you to make some friends outside this dusty old castle". I emerged from the bathroom with a towel over my head, wearing a pair of shorts, water dripped from my hair as I walked towards Sylvia and replied; "the gold one then".

In my past life I didn't really think much about birthdays because I didn't get to celebrate them but now I realize I never even wanted them because this is too much for one person. Since coming to this world I realized that Royals like to do things a little bit differently from others, did I say a little sorry I meant a lot because their lifestyle is a serious hassle I can't even brush my teeth without a guard standing by the door, its really annoying. Anyways in the Margrave household once a child turns seven years old he will be meant to leave the castle for the first time so he can show himself to his subjects, of the kingdom, afterwards he would be put in a school for Royalty only apparently there is a serious class discrimination between Royals and commoners. Just thinking about the word school made me angry I thought I had seen the last of it in my previous life, *sigh hopefully I won't draw any attention to myself and just live a nice, quiet life.

"Oh and Young master, I hear your older brothers will be in attendance I hope you get the chance to see them" Sylvia said to me as she fastened the buttons on the suit and put a cape on my shoulders I look in the mirror and began thinking how my brothers would look like, I really hope they weren't some jerks or the stereotypical Royalty you see in movies. I snapped back to reality when Sylvia placed her hands on my shoulder and said; "well doesn't his Highness look splendid", I take a look at my reflection in the mirror. My short cut hair which matched the gold colored suit I wore, the crimson red cape on my shoulders which was the same color as my eyes and the family crest which was the the face of a golden lion boldly shown on the suit and cape. Satisfied with my look, I proceeded to go downstairs as I had to make sure everything was in order before the ceremony began I went to the kitchen and supervised the activities for a short period of time, then I went back up to my room, locked the doors and sat on the bed. For the first time in seven years I decided to call " HELIOS"
