1 Introduction
(A/N Notes: I just ended up coming up with this idea and decided to write it down, and since I didn't write anything else, I just decided to publish it)
Inside a hospital room, the cry of a baby could be heard
"It is a boy!" Said the doctor
"Yes... And he has the face of the father..." Said the woman as she saw and held her son
As she held her son who quickly got tired of crying and began sleeping soundly, the door of the room was abruptly open by a handsome man wearing lavish clothes
"Catherine, my dear. Are you okay?" The handsome man said in a very worried tone
"I'm fine, darling... Now look at our son, he has your face..." The woman reassured her husband, the king
"Catherine..." He said in a happy tone
"Ahem... Your Majesty Alexander, could you please remember your position?" A black-haired man in a suit cautioned his king
"Ah! Y-Yes, you're right... Catherine, can I hold our son?"
"Sure... Here..." She passed the baby to his father
"Hmm... He has your eyes, dear"
"Haha... Thank you, darling..."
"Now, John. Can you tell one of the medics to call the magic doctor" He addressed to the man
"I already did it, my king" He answered the king back
"Thoroughly as always, John. As expected from my right-hand man"
"I am the prime minister... Though right now, I'm here as your friend"
And as they had a friendly conversation, an old guy wearing a white coat entered the room
"I'm here, your majesty, prime-minister"
"Great! Can you already measure my son's mana?" Asked the king
"Yes, I can, but do your majesty want me to measure the prince's mana now?"
"Yes, please. Do so, Doctor" He said so, as she approached his newly born son to the magic doctor
The doctor then began to chant, when the king approached the baby to the measuring device, the device didn't detect any mana
"""Huh?""" The three men group made a weird voice when that happened
"T-This... Could it possibly be that... the prince doesn't have any mana at all?" said the magic doctor after his brain processed what just happened
"Haa... We didn't think this would happen due to your majesty Alexander and her majesty Catherine inherited mana but... It happened, he is your son so what will you do to him?" The prime minister asked his king
"Of course, I will raise him up as a worthy successor to the throne, I am not a tyrant who kill children just because they lack some talent, with enough hard work anyone can achieve many things... Yes, just like that ancestor of mine who was praised to be a genius and a hard worker, I will name my son Douglas!"
He raised his son up with his arms and looked at his sleeping face
"He will be a great man in the future, I can see it on his face" he looked at the baby face of his sleeping son
"I see... So that's your decision, my friend... Well, we shall take our leave, now you can spend some lovely with your wife, heh" John said so as he urged everyone else to leave the hospital room
"Haha... You sure are joker, my friend. Now leave the room already" Alexander said for John to leave the room already
"Phew... So Catherine, my dear. What do you think of his name?" He said as he gave Douglas back to his mother arms
"Yes, it's a very beautiful and fitting name for our son" She answered her husband as she held her son dearly
The two looked at their son who was soundly sleeping in his mother's arms
Some years later
"Fuaaaahhh... Mmmmnnnnggghhhh... It's still morning... ... ... I'll just go back to sleep until it's afternoon" A 5-year-old boy said so when he looked at the window beside his bed as he once again covered himself with his warm blankets
And the door to his room was open by a 10-year-old girl with a pink short straight hair wearing maid clothes
"Douglas-sama, it is already 8 a.m! You should have already got up from your bed!" She shouted in worry
"Just... 10... Hours... More... Zzzzz..."
"Do not go back to sleep in the middle of a sentence, Douglas-sama! Rather you should not be sleep talking in the first place!" She shouted again, this time with a little bit of anger mixed in
"Wake up already!" She approached his bed and pulled his blankets away from him
"Zzzzz..." He continued to sleep thanks to the warm sunlight of the morning
"Douglas-sama! You need to get up now!" She said so as she tried to wake him up and pull him out of his bed
"Hnnnnggggzzzzzzzgggghhhh..."
She was able to make him struggle to stay in bed but failed at waking him up and pulling him out of his bed, and instead, the opposite happened
"Hhhhnnnnngggghhhh!..."
"Uwaaaahhh!!!" She shouted in surprised as she was pulled onto the bed
He hugged her with his arms and legs and the warmth of her back was very comfortable for him to sleep
"Douglas-sama! L-Let go of me! Y-You're not s-supposed to do t-this with people l-like me!" She lost her remaining composure due to her embarrassment of being hugged by him as she pleaded for him to let go of her
"Zzzzzzz..." But her was already sleeping with no intention of waking up anytime soon
"DOUGLAS-SAMAAAAAAAAAA!!!" She kept shouting until she eventually got tired, and was also invited by the warm sunlight and the fluffy bed to sleep
"Douglas-sama... Zzzzzz..." And she also captured by the sleepiness, just like Douglas
A few hours later
"Douglas didn't show up for breakfast... Again..." A beautiful with a long wavy brown hair woman said so as she walked through the long hallways of the castle
Then she stopped right in front of a specific door, where she stood for a few seconds thinking on whether or not she should open it, and when she finished her thought she decided to open it
When she opened the door she saw Douglas and his personal maid Sophia sleeping together on his bed
<Oh my... He really does like Sophia-chan, doesn't he?> She made a happy smile when she saw her son soundly asleep with his maid, and she left the room without waking them up
Some more hours later
"Say Sophia-san did something happened to you this morning? Oh! And don't worry about getting punished, I'm just asking because I didn't saw you this morning, so I just got worried about it" It was the king who was asking Sophia about her condition as he had lunch with his family
"No... Nothing happened to me, your Majesty..." She answered him as she averted her eyes as she blushed a little
"But something appears to have happened, for you to be blushing" It was the queen who said it with a happy smile on her face
"!?" She blushed further
"Anyway... Douglas, my son, are you ready to meet your new teachers?" The king decided to not meddle in between the two girls and focused his attention on his oldest son
"No... *munch munch*" Douglas answered his father in a monotone and tired voice as he slowly ate his food
"I thought so, but you still need to learn about many things!"
"Okay... *munch munch*"
"... Couldn't you try to talk back something at least?"
"Too... Troublesome... *munch munch*"
"... Yeah, I still don't know how you turned out like this. But it's good to see that you accepted having lessons"
His father Alexander, was worried about how lazy his oldest son was, but was reassured that he wasn't entirely useless as a person
(A/N Notes: All that I can is... Eh... Nothing too praiseworthy but it was still pretty enjoyable to write
That's all for today everyone!)
