Chapter 1- How old am I

Klaus P.O.V

What a daring night, the smoke offered up to the sky is salty, smokes around the kingdom as enemy envades, what a future, poor children crying in the streets as I watch them all in horror, how I wish I could touch my harp one more time and mourn for their ruined life, if I knew this would happen I could've lived a better life or even if I am bad brother I could've at least burry my two baby siblings.... What about the king, is he the only person they can rely on, how about the prince's, they ran away from duty like me, escaped to another country and leave this kingdom burning

My name is Klaus Ryz Krusnos, 33 and a loser kicked out of his house and lost his title as a duke's son... I should be one of those big knights dying on that wall getting roasted by the dragon's breathe but luckily I am on top of the tower bleeding out to death

I know who had me killed, yesterday I was stabbed while drunk on my way back to my small home, and when I woke up I heard the dragon roar, I was able to hold on with my royal blood and my blood has it's own ability to heal and create a barrier to keep me from dying... What a dope, I was kicked out if my family yet my power is still trying to leek out, I don't even know how to use them

"Haha I'm dying! Oh miserable life, How I wish to repent and correct my wrong my foolish act and my miserable steps!! I'm sorry father, I don't deserve to be your son!! I hated responsibility!!" I hated it so much since I was never given the same love as you give to someone whom you take care, turns out you are the one who needs to give yourself that love that you seeks... What a pity, what a pity!!!!!

I heard a snap on my ears but I can no longer open my eyes, I see only a blur of a burning city and a dragon gnarling this city, it's starting to rain but I feel nothing at all just my open wound and my power dying, the barrier is gone so the blood on my stomach raced down like a river

"How do you like a new life?" I laughed chuckling on a question

"Tah! Haha!"

"Can I take your laugh as a yes!!" I laughed even more but I'm wincing in pain

Who's asking a silly question anyway? How long hav I been wincing?...I finally opened my eyes looking at a boy staring back ar me with a beautiful golden eyes... I was stunned for a second trying to recognize who he is

"Wh-who are you? Is this hell yet!!" I covered my eyes seeing a lot of light blaring from a colour to another, I heard a chuckle from the boy, his eyes remind me of the eyes I see in the mirror everytime I look at myself

"My name is Klaus!!" I just looked at him staring at me, he looked up and down with a disappointed face, is this me

"You look so ugly, what have you done to us, what happened to our home, I thought you will protect our sibling, how pathetic!!!"

I laughed out loud, I'm seeing a younger version of myself insulting me

"One more! Just one more!!" I said laughing knowing that tears are streaming down my face

"Ok! Just one, no more!" He got up and pushed his tiny hands on my forehead, it knocked me out lightly as I feel myself levitating

I fell so slow and saw the big wide sky getting smaller, and smaller, and smaller until I felt myself going down a tree and in a fast speed I hit my head on the grassy ground, it all happened too fast that I only saw my hands trying to grab the air and hitting the ground

"Klaus, Klaus-"

"Young master!!"

"Get the medic hurry!!"

"What's going on!!" My vision is a blur again, where is the burning city, where is the dragon, I can't hear the crying children or the little me who just insulted me, I feel so tired, so- so- t-tired

"Young master!- can you hear us!" Opening my eyes and seeing the light felt like a knife stabbing my eyes, I covered myself with a blanket feeling the softness of the bed ai always long for a long time, how I miss this bed..... BED

I got up surrounded by a bunch of people looking at me with a worried face

"Is he alright doctor!!"

"Ah!" I winched on the light that has been yeeted on my right eyes

"Yes, I suppose his highness is ok- the fall gave him a concussion thus a severe trauma!" I heard a relief on the house maid's and butler's voices, where am I

Am I back, oh wait

*Once! Just one more chance, No more!!*

"Young master you are crying what's wrong!!" One of the butler I recognized came forward next to tye doctor who I also recognize

"Nightmare, I had a nightmare!!"

"Oh, have you been on a night mare during your coma!!"

"Y-yeah, gahhhhh!!!" I can't help but to grasp, I feel so alive, I miss these faces, the faces of people I kicked out!!

I suddenly hugged the doctor, he once treated me when I was homeless cos I was kicked out, I know he is a good person

"You're highness!!" The doctor patted my shoulder and suddenly I heard the door open and I saw my grandpa and grandma

"Grandpa- grandma...." My feet ran up to them in disbelief and their faces looked terrible

"Young master!!" Both my hands grabbed them and I surrendered crying to see their faces, grandma and grandpa only cares about me back then, I was a spoiled child and hated everyone, I was selfish too and now

"Were glad you're alright grandson how is he?" Asked my grandpa, I looked like a leech on their arms while they ask the doctor

"He's ok Duke, he just came back from a coma saying he had a nightmare, also, a week of coma made him weak and really skinny so he might need to eat a lot of vegeta- I mean!"

"Yes, I'll have a vegetable, a tomato soup would do?" I said getting up and sitting down on the bed, their faces made me laugh, it's their first time to hear me ask for a vegetable when all I eat is meat and I demanded no vegetables in anything.... That was before cos I was given a medicine which makes my toungue bitter on the taste of all healthy foods, it's one of the poisoned medicine my step morher gave me to keep my body from being unhealthy and not producing mana for my magic to eat....

"Wow- did that fall teach him a lesson-" I heard one of the maid spoke, I looked at her a she become pale

"Yeah! I guess you're right! I'm hungry Miss Evan I would like some of the vegetables you grow in the garden!!" I said

They all looked stunned as if a flower bloomed on my head

"Really grandson, you want some of my vegetables!!" Grandma's eyes were dancing

"Y-yes grandma!!" I said

For a moment I was taking a shower and coming down a little weak cos my body felt like it doesn't have a bones so one of the young starting boy servant was tasked to serve me

"Why are they all busy?" I ask as we both go down the stairs, damn it I really feel so weak, my 30 year old body that went through a tough construction work is the part I realized that hard works makes your body stronger too, I need to make my life better if I want to stay in this household by the way what year is it again, where is the calendar, I see none around

"Young master, they are probably busy going to the garden too to get you a fresh vegetables!!" Says the boy

"What's your name?" I asked

"Morgan your highness?"

"You don't need to adress me like that, I'm only a son of a duke!!"

"Oh!!" Why is their faces shocked everytime I say something, maybe because they think of me as someone who hates eveybody and kick them out immediately, yes, that's who I was hahahhaa

"There you are Klaus, how is your body?" We sat on a small coffee table where we are all too close to each other, I can see grandoa is still a little weiry of me he always witness how spoiled I was as a kid and how I can be a vulnerable child to the parent

"It's fine I just need to make myself stronger in gaining strength through food, also? Grandpa can you get my medicine tested!!" I asked knowing a pill is right beside me

"Which pill?"

"This pill?" I said pointing my fingers on a red pill

"It's what your mother gave you to drink before you eat to boost your appetite!!" He said picking it up and examining it

"I don't feel like drinking it anymore I'm suspicios?" I said in a straightforward manner

"Well, if that is so we'll have our pediatrist test it tomorrow- Take this away!!"

We started eating as I was craving for food, it feels like everything happened yesterday when the war broke and I was still searching for food while drunk, now I'm back in the past it feels so odd

"Calm down Klaus, why do you look like you are homeless-" I stopped as tears came down my eyes

"What's wrong?" Grandma asked

"N-Nothing?"

"Oh do tell us, your doctor said you had a nightmare, if you want we'll call a magician-"

"Is it a nightmare or a future?" My grandparents looked at each other with a concerned look

"What do you mean little one, you only went inside a coma for a week?" Grandpa asked

"How old am I grandpa?" I asked suddenly

"17 dear"

"17" so I am back as 17- that means my siblings are all very little

"Why do you ask dear?"

"In the next few days a storm will come, precisely at sea and all the sailsman on our cruise ship will die? Grandpa don't let your sailmen go at sea, a typhoon is coming mad!!" I said

"It's summer?"

"Exactly!!"

"Oh dear- alright, let's discuss this after you eat your fifth platter" grandpa said smiling
