In the market district of the Amber Rose capital, inside a small antique book shop, a bear beast kin wearing glasses that is over 2 meters tall is dusting the shelves. The big furry man was randomly humming some tunes, enjoying his leisurely work because not many customers went into the shop. ‘RING’ Suddenly, the humming is interrupted by the ring of the entrance bell. A human boy look that looks around 8 years old, enter the store with a man. Both wore winter noble’s clothes. “Must be his father.” The bear man thought. “Welcome to our humble store. My name is Emilio. How can I help you?” Emilio greeted the two of the politely with a big smile showing his fangs underneath. The boy stares at him with stars in his eyes. “What? Never see a bear man before?” Emilio asks in his thoughts. The man points at the boy with his eye to Emilio. The bear man turns his head to the tiny boy. “Ah… Sorry, is there books about spear and hand to hand technique here? If not, can I still browse her
Malcom and Adrian hand over their fur coats to the maids. Suddenly, a familiar man with a muscular physique and greying black hair approach them with a beautiful woman with long straight black hair wearing a beautiful red dress.“You’re here grandson. Give your grandpa a big hug.” Oscar Black walked over with his arms extend for a hug.“Grandpa, you here. Good to see you again.” Adrian hugs Oscar and greets him back.“I heard about your ‘accomplishments’ at your birthday party. That’s my boy. You sure made me proud. Bwahahaha…. Oh yes, this is Rosaria, Eldest and heiress of the Black family. She is your…” Oscar pinched Adrian cheeks laughing with joy then introduce him the woman.“Aunt? No way. She looks too young to be mother’s older sister. Mom looks she’s in her early 20s.” Adrian feels confuse while staring at his newly announced ‘aunt’.“Fufufu… You are as the rumour says. Smart, curious and sharp tongue. Your mother is in her late 20s. Don’t underestimate beautiful ladies, littl
After the gift presentation to the twins, there is a feast. Various type of foods is being served. Everyone enjoyed the food the royal palace severed. Food warmed up their stomachs in this cold winter.The feast ended and the nobles are free to socialize between themselves. Even the royals join in with everybody. Adrian was chatting with the count’s children, Kyle, Julie, Conor and Scott that he met at the inn.“You sure are ballsy presenting the royal twins, commoner items. Your father is another one pushing you to the stage, letting you to go alone. Look at you, just 5 years old doing an adult’s job.” Conor Davison made a remark but form his tone he felt pity for Adrian.“Hahaha… That is quite normal. My dad sometimes did push some responsibility to me. I have to realise I’m the Eldest son of the Cross family. It’s fine, I cannot hate him. Everyone has weaknesses.” Adrian said his piece. It sounded too matured for someone his age.“Tch… Is this why the eldest always so annoying?” Co
Adrian is in his room preparing to set off to the Magic Tower for mana awakening. 5 years had passed in a blink of an eye. A lot of things happen, training the books he purchased, practicing music, visiting the royal twins once in a while and…“Big brother, hurry up! Mary want to see big brother’s magic. Let’s go, let’s go.” Marylyn banging at the door.“Hmm… Marylyn grows up. She is 6 years old now. So hyperactive. Luckily, she is my cute little sister.” Adrian thought“Alright, alright.

You can train as much as you want until lady Marylyn woke up.” Ralph knew Adrian’s intentions.“It is impossible for someone who can who just awaken mana yesterday to detect me. He sure had come too far at such a young age. I’m happy to serve the Cross family seeing 2 heirs doing their best.” Ralph amaze at the height of Adrian’s potential while remembering the past.“Okay.

After the Adrian made his declaration to his parents and left, Malcom and Amanda are still in the dining room mouths agape.“Darling, it seems that our son will be better in the future than you.” Amanda made a statement.“I know, and that is good. Sorry for making this remark but sometimes I still can’t believe he is our son. He is too smart and talented. But we watched him grew up that means he is our son. The heir to the Cross county.

He is the perfect practice partner for now. Although Adrian is still 1 Star s
