It had only been a few days since he was born into this world.
Zayn was already making progress, starting to become familiar with his surroundings.
In a sense, he was born into an extraordinarily affluent and opulent family.
The surrounding yard itself was incredibly beautiful, featuring a variety of new animals and plants, some of which he couldn't even identify.
"So, I truly have reincarnated into a fantasy world, haven't I?" Zayn sighed inwardly, feeling that he was either fortunate or unfortunate to have been reborn in this manner.
Zayn had initially speculated that he might have been reborn into a fantasy world based on his observations of the furnishings in his mother's room.
However, it had initially been mere speculation, and now he was completely convinced of it.
As for what made him feel unfortunate, it was the fact that he had been born into a wealthy family and had the appearance of royalty.
He was well aware that such families often experienced bloody battles among siblings and endured ruthless power struggles.
He understood this because he was born into the Welston family, a noble lineage and the most influential family in the capital.
However, as the only son and the one deeply loved by his parents, he became the sole heir to the Welston family.
In contrast to his current self, although he was born into a noble and wealthy family, he was born to a second wife, not the main wife.
He couldn't help but ponder the inevitable danger and hardship that would have awaited him if the first wife had also given birth to a son.
The specter of death would have perpetually hung over him in the future.
Zayn sighed, and his gaze drifted toward the garden, adorned with a variety of beautiful plants.
At present, he is nestled in his mother's embrace, savoring the warmth and basking in the morning sun of this world.
In a way, the sun in this world appeared distinct from his previous world, as it seemed larger.
Nevertheless, he perceived the temperature to be lower than that of the sun in his prior world.
This alone contradicted the laws of physics from his previous life, where larger masses of stars were typically hotter.
"The fantasy world truly defies common sense," Zayn muttered to himself with a sigh.
"What's the matter, my little angel? Are you enjoying this?" A gentle woman's voice disrupted his contemplation, and he looked at the woman with tender affection in his eyes.
In this world, his mother, whose name was Elizabeth, held significant importance to him.
"Uaaa~ Uaa~" Zayn raised his tiny arms, endeavoring to embrace his mother.
"Alright, alright, does my baby want a morning cuddle?" Elizabeth chuckled and embraced him, showering his little cheeks with kisses.
Zayn closed his eyes and relished the moment while silently uttering in his heart, "Yeah, I hope that anyone who seeks to disrupt the happiness of my loved one, of course, I won't doubt to kill them!"
...
"Excuse me, Second Mistress Elizabeth." Suddenly, the servant's voice roused him from his drowsiness, and he regarded the servant with curiosity.
Elizabeth, too, relinquished the gentle smile that had once adorned her lips, her countenance turning markedly frosty.
Zayn was taken aback and noted the stark contrast with his mother.
"Why does this seem so familiar to me?" Zayn pondered, sensing that he had witnessed this rapid shift in demeanor in someone before as he tried to recollect.
Suddenly, goosebumps and fear washed over him as he recalled who it might be!
(Note: Can you guess who it is? XD)
Elizabeth's brow furrowed slightly as she cast an unfriendly glance at the elderly servant.
"You frightened my baby! Speak quickly! Is there something important to convey?"
"If not, leave at once!" She uttered it with coldness, her visage betraying her irritation.
The elderly servant sighed in resignation, promptly withdrawing a letter and handing it to Elizabeth.
"Second Mistress, this is a letter from the Master," the elderly servant stated with reverence.
Upon hearing this, Elizabeth lapsed into silence and immediately accepted the letter.
"You may depart," she declared firmly before returning to playing with Zayn.
"Yes, Second Mistress... In that case, I shall take my leave." The elderly servant exited the garden and vanished.
Shortly thereafter, Elizabeth's gentle smile returned.
"Don't worry, my dear, this is a letter from your father~," she uttered lightly, yet Zayn discerned a deep undercurrent of resentment in her tone.
Zayn was surprised, as he was curious about his father in this new world.
Was he as despicable as his previous world's father, or...
Zayn quickly discerned that things were far from simple, as he sensed his mother's heavy animosity toward his father in this new world.
"Is there something hidden between them?" He contemplated, surveying his mother's grave countenance as she perused the letter.
After reading the letter, Elizabeth appeared melancholic and despondent, stoking his concern about a potential issue.
She gazed at him with sorrow and spoke as though his infant self comprehended every word she said.
"Your father sent a letter and bestowed a name upon you, my dear," she said with a touch of sorrow in her voice.
"So, you're saddened because he gave me a name, Mom?" Zayn grumbled internally, but then he caught what his mother had said.
He was taken aback, now eager to learn his name!
After all, he hadn't been given a name since arriving in this world, as his mother hadn't named him.
Observing his inquisitive little eyes, Elizabeth chuckled and kissed his cheek.
"Your name is Arthur Asvold, my dear." Elizabeth wore a joyful smile, as if she approved of the name.
Zayn felt elated, a smile gracing his tiny lips.
"Uaaa~ Uaa~ Awesome! It appears that his father in this world has decent taste; at least the name he's given is quite good."He said it with a hint of excitement and relief in his heart.
Yet, for some reason, he sensed something amiss.
"Wait! Why does this name feel so familiar?" He immediately recalled memories from his previous world.
His heart suddenly trembled, and he ventured a wild guess in his heart.
"Arthur Asvold, could it be him?!"
--------------
The name of Mc will be changed to Arthur.
