It's getting brighter…
I can feel the sensation of being alive again! The full range of motion of my finger became anew. Have I actually been reborn? Maybe it's a fluke, but the stiff and rugged surface of the wood makes me believe otherwise.
This took longer than I expected. I was getting tired of the tedious void anyways, and that damned bastard.
*Sigh*
This feels refreshing. The air that fills my lungs is so clean and much different than what I was used to. I mean that literally, because i can feel something strange every time I take a breath. Maybe I wasn't reborn in my world again. Well, there goes my chance to feed the need for speed. AHHHHH! I'm gonna miss you my sweet RX-7.
I am hesitant to open my eyes and see what this new world will offer me. Hopefully, I can take a different course from before and fully understand what it means to live. Here goes nothing…
" Ah s**t, at least the scenery is nice."
....
"Estefan, what are the Young Master's whereabouts?"
"Young Master Aless is spending the evening at the garden, sir."
Frankly, it was the entire day but I am afraid that a comment over his activities would only worry Duke Ezekiel further. It has been tough these last couple of years and the stiff tension in the air hasn't left the household since the incident. Although Sir Ezekiel blames himself for the death of the Young Master's parents, it was unavoidable.
Truth be told, the Duke was more worried about the consequences their deaths would create on the Young Master. He always treated him as his own child ever since he was born 4 years ago.
"Take him inside before the night sets, and be mindful of his mood."
The ruffling of the papers and his pen shuffling from signature to signature makes the seriousness more prominent through his voice.
"Yes, sir."
"Alright, you may take your leave."
"Please excuse me."
Exiting through the door, the pressure that was present from before has finally lifted. It's terrifying how intense the Duke's focus is. He emanates an air of superiority that separates him from any common noble.
The Duke's room is the only place that is restricted to the servants, excluding myself. Obviously the Young Master could enter whenever he wishes as well. This is partly due to his extreme need of privacy. This alienated himself from the other servants, so they aren't fully aware of his character.
However, we all pay high respect to him and understand his value in the Kingdom of Cielo. Duke Ezekiel is part of the pure nobility that remains in the kingdom. Ezekiel's banner, the Viram Family, has existed since the creation of Cielo and has always had close ties with the Royal Family. Their territory is vast, holds multiple critical resources, and is relatively near the capital.
Of course, he is also and admirable person with many strong characteristics. His strength and fearlessness into battle are unmatched. Although never confronted inside the kingdom, whenever there is a dispute, he is proficient in using diplomacy to offer a solution.
Even with his level of skill, we still remain loyal to our Young Master. The Luna family has returned every worth of loyalty that I've given. Serving Sir Aless and assisting him in any way has always brought me joy. Madam Ariel had always treated me with kindness and understanding to which I was never deserving of. She was truly a magnanimous person. Sir Angelo was always a great figure to follow, and in many moments he taught me valuable lessons.
Both of them were great individuals and it is truly a tragedy that Young Master Aless is going to live without them.
Anyways, I should probably head back and meet the Young Master. Let's hope for a better future.
.....
Taking a good look around I notice some lady standing near the table I'm sitting in. I wonder how could she be related to me? Her outfit indicates that she is a maid and look wise, she seems to be on the attractive side. Her blonde hair is neatly stylized to be straight and match the flow of her outfit and it matches her black eyes.
The maid dress has vibrant black and white colors. It seems to be exceptionally made. I don't think clothes in my previous life looked this good. Her facial features also don't indicate any similarities to the ones at my world. She seems to be a mesh up of many regions combined. Pretty nonetheless. Her cream colored skin also don't indicate much pigment expression so it's hard to tell in what kind of region I am in.
She seemed to be a little stunned when I turned to look at her. Maybe, she is my aide in some way?
Actually…
Im a f***ing kid…
I can't possibly be older than 5 years at the most. I need to fully look up to the maid in order to make eye contact. Oh, this going to be a journey.
Anyways,
I also seem to be in a garden within some sort of villa. The architecture looks unique, I can definitely see Italian renaissance design imbued with Victorian features.
The garden itself contains beautiful maintained flowers and trees. They seem magical as some seem to glow along the stem and other have beautiful rainbow pigments in their petals. The garden seems to be arranged in the shape of a moon with this white wooden table in the middle of it.
This combination of design makes for a very beautiful scenery, which definitely is a good sign. For me, at the very least.
There is one tiny bitty mighty problem here.
THERE
IS
A
GODDAMN
KNIGHT
HERE
…
It's over. I'm dead. This is all over.
This means, I'm most likely in a medieval world. Sure, maybe there will be magic, super strength, elves, or dwarfs. This also means there will be magicians that could send massive fireballs that are able to last forever. death. Maybe bald guys that are able to send me to the moon with a single punch. death. In every fantasy scenario elves despise humans, and looking at my features, I'm not even half of one. death.
Dwarfs are cool though. Hopefully I get to meet them.
Medicinal technology is not as advanced either, so if there is no healing magic or magical potions then it's game over.
My best hope is that I can become stronger than all these obstacles and chill with the dwarfs.
Looking back at the knight, his image resembles more of a guard than anything else. Meaning somebody could try to assassinate me at any moment.
Hopefully, this cool knight is stronger than he seems because he gives off regular foot soldier vibes.
"Hey, you. Come owwer here."
This undeveloped mouth is going to be the end of me.
The knight seems taken aback by my order. Was I not supposed to do that? Was that too much for my age?
"What do you need Young Master?"
Young Master? We'll at the very least that means I have some sort of power here.
He seems puzzled though.
I'll try using less words.
I point to the table.
"Lift."
He looks even more puzzled than before, but I need to do this to confirm something.
"Young master?"
The knight then seemed to look at the maid, maybe in hopes of understanding my demand. However, she looked as puzzled as him.
"Lift. Up!"
I once again pointed to the table and increased my tone with the last word. This time he seemed to give in and began to approach the table.
OH. MY. GOD
He completely lifted me and the table, single handedly, at a perfect 90 degree angle. Is this what a regular foot soldier can do? THATS AMAZING!
I returned to the ground once again while still being dumbfounded at what just occurred.
"Anything else, Young master?"
I shook my head and In return he traced back to his original position. The maid seemed astounded as to what just happened. Yeah, that was probably a weird thing to ask for, but it just proved the dangers and possibilities in this world.
Ehhhh?
They both seem to be looking at me with a worried look in their eyes. What could that be for?
Not important! I should probably keep a quiet demeanor from now on. Talking about myself… what could I possibly look like?
Oh right! I also need to figure out what is the alteration on my soul that weirdo mentioned.
"Ahhhh". (That sunset is beautiful)
I laid my head down and closed my eyes. I feel tired? Well, this body is one of a kid so it was probably nap time. Alright, hopefully I wake up alive tomorrow, because this world… looks promising.
"Zzzzzz"
.....
Master Aless seemed to have gone back to sleep…
"Fuuuuu"
"Something wrong, Miss Alina?"
I can't believe the Captain just lifted our cute little Master in such a manner!
"Why did you fulfill such a request?"
"I apologize ma'am, please don't look at me that way. I simply satisfied his order, he seemed persistent on me lifting him…"
Although that's true, it was such an unmannerly way to treat him that way. He is the last heir to the family and once he becomes of age… He will be our handsome Duke Aless of Luna!
"Just be mindful before doing anything like that again… He did seem a little strange today."
"Right, he seemed to be analyzing me from the way he looked at me."
"Right! He was definitely planning something!"
"Haha, you could be right. Anyways, Miss Alina, you should probably carry Master Aless into his room. It's getting late, and I'm sure Mister Estefan would appreciate it if you took care of him."
"All right! I'll take my leave then, have a good night Captain Darg!"
"You as well."
Uwaaaaa I get to carry our little master today…
