1 Awakening

I opened my eyes as the morning rays hit my face through the open window. It was early morning as I get out of my bed naked and walked up to the big mirror standing in the corner of my room.

I had a habit to sleep naked since childhood, I smiled as I remembered how angry my mother was when she heard about this and reprimanded me that it was not a prince-like behavior yet I never got around to fixing this habit. As I looked at my body, I was quite happy with my looks - I stand tall around 5 feet 11 inches with dark hair and a fit body. My body looked chiseled as I loved to work out. My teacher always said that a strong body lets you wield more mana so I always kept my body in shape. I frowned as I noticed a purple tattoo on my lower abdomen right above my crotch as I looked even further down.

I started to rub the tattoo as I thought back on my 18th Birthday. It was a festive day and the whole kingdom celebrated it. Everyone congratulated me for coming of age and I could notice that everyone had high expectations for me. But everything changed on that day when this tattoo appeared. The mana in my body started to wither and I couldn't even do any basic spells. It's been a week since my birthday yet this phenomenon hasn't stopped at all and I feel even more weaker than before.

"I need to find a cure for this...and quickly before everyone knows about it" I promised myself as no one knew about my weakening body except mother and my fiancée. We both were trying our hardest to cure it. I didn't want anyone to know that the supreme genius of the kingdom now couldn't even cast a simple level 1 spell.

I looked further down at my rock-hard cock. It was my pride! All 6" of it as I thought it was pretty big for my age and will grow even bigger as I grow up.

*knock knock* "Prince are you awake? Your mother is summoning you to the dining chamber" Just then I heard a knock on the door followed by a body-melting voice.

The voice put a smile on my face as I started to push the tattoo business in the back of my head, I had to act as if everything was normal.

"Come in Maria" I ordered and saw the door open up as the beautiful girl around the age of 22 walked in.

When I was young, Maria was assigned to me to take care of my daily chores. She was kind, and very caring, and I treated her more like an older friend than a maid.

In her maid uniform, she was the epitome of professionalism, yet her demeanor exuded warmth and familiarity. The well-tailored attire emphasized her gentle curves, but it was her inner beauty that truly made her stand out. Isabella's presence felt like a calming embrace, a reassuring presence that made the palace feel like home.

She stood at 5 feet 7 inches and had 36C breasts that were comparable to my mother's. Even so, she was still very perky because she was a virgin.

Just as she saw me standing there naked, I saw her face turn beet red as she looked down quite embarrassed. "A...Alex.....You...Why are you naked again!"

I smirked finding her blushing face very cute. Although she was older than me, I find it very amusing to tease her like this. I knew for a fact that she had a crush on me but always restrained herself as she knew that I was a prince and above her station. I knew that she was happy just being next to me and serving me.

"Maria, Old habits die hard so I still love to sleep naked. Do you want me to sleep with me and help me fix this bad habit" I teased her again and saw her eyes widen as she saw looked at me again, her gaze glued to my cock for a few seconds before she closed her eyes again blushing even more than before.

"Stop bullying me, prince! Or I will tell on you to your mother" She finally protested in a cute voice.

"Alright alright. I am sorry. So why is my mother summoning me" I asked changing the topic as I searched the room for my clothes.

"We have a guest. A powerful person from the Iron Kingdom", She suddenly turned serious as our Azura nation had a pretty bad relationship with its neighboring nation - The Iron Nation.

I turned serious as well as I sighed not knowing what the future will hold for our weak kingdom. I was called as a hope of our kingdom, to become the strongest mage this kingdom has ever seen but the tattoo had ruined it all.

It made me confirm my will to find the cure in any way possible.

"Let's go" I looked at my maid with a serious gaze as I started walking toward the door.

"bu...But you are still naked my prince!! " She shouted, placing a hand on her eyes, thinking that I hadn't noticed her peering into my cock through the gaps.
