Ember Pov
I looked myself in the mirror and rubbed my eyes to fight back the sleep, in my previous life I had the habit of sleeping no more than five hours a day, but this new body of mine isn't adapted to that habit and being a child didn't help, still I refused to waste more than nine hours for sleeping. After all, taking advantage of the ti I have, I can gather enough knowledge for to plan my future.
" ~Your Highness~ I am here!", I heard a familiar voice, I turned and looked at my maid Remia, she had blonde hair and brown eyes, nothing special. She was a maid especially assigned to ; one might wonder why my mother isn't taking care of ? Well although father as king has most of the work, my mother isn't free either, that's why they assigned a maid for .
" Good morning, Remia", I greeted her, she smiled and said," Now let's get you up ready for the day!", she grabbed and quickly escorted to the bathroom, I brushed my teeth, not using toothpaste of course, instead I used a Neem stick, they call it Alpeen here. After brushing my teeth, Remia took to a bathtub and undressed herself.
' This still feels like weird ', I thought, it had been three years since Remia has been taking care of , which included handling all my basic needs. One might think as a grown man, I should have so dignity and shouldn't engage in such shaful act considering my age. Well, they will be fool then, I am child and doing everything myself is tough, especially when you are an Elf.
Elf children are way weaker than human children though once they grow up their strength surpasses of an average human. That's why I don't act stupid in the na of being a grown ass man and just simply accept that I am child who needs such special treatnt. Remia getting naked though? Well, I am not Rudy to have pervert thoughts at least considering my hormones aren't raging.
It did feel shaful for for a week or two, after that I simply adapted to it. Well, just like that Remia started washing , and in the end we both were finished with taking a bath. Then she escorted to the Dining room again, and well it was only for and so maids serving the food, my parents had breakfast early as they had to work, and so did my sister as go out training. After having breakfast, I was escorted to the library.
" Remia you can leave now", I said looking at the blonde maid," Your Highness, as your maid it is my duty to accompany you all the ti and take care of your need", she said, I sighed, there was one of thing that if I felt extrely uncomfortable was soone staring at like a rare animal when I am studying.
Thus, I often take a book when Remia has to leave for so work, huddle up in so other room, or another part of the library, to read my book." Remia, please", I looked at her with begging eyes, her eyes wavered but she steeled herself," No! Your Highness! Last day you said you were going to just walk in the palace, instead you huddled yourself in a corner of the library till it was quite late!", she complained.
Of course, things never go easy, I sighed and decided to simply let her be," Fine, Remia I want a book on the geography of the world", I said, she squinted her eyes knowing that I would always escape by diverting her giving such orders. " I will follow you", I said putting her into ease, finally she found the book I desired, my eyes shining.
I had been learning Elvish and Koine for most of the part, and only a few weeks ago I started delving into the books, now it was ti to learn Geography and Topography. I flipped the cover of the book, and started searching the map, soon I found it and looked at with a sigh. The map showed just a huge continent surrounded by several islands, biggest of which was Far East.
My eyes glistened as I rummaged through the map,' It is so exciting ', I thought. Unlike what main ani had shown there was an exciting world outside of the Orario! Though the dungeon was dangerous, so places were more dangerous than Orario's dungeon leaving out the deep floors. There were unexplored places, militaristic nations, and so much more!
There were huge countries more exciting than Orario's la city. Seriously, I am going to explore all this places! I quickly returned to first page, and started reading through the first chapter, which well introduced the races in the world. The book Remia gave was one of the most informative one, I was sure, because she wouldn't give any less.
First co the races, naturally first was listed as Elves here. I even doubt that the Elves will let a book which doesn't list the Elves first in the races in their library at the first place. Anyway, Elves are highly intelligent beings who excel in Magic and live in forest, then pointy ears, longevity, beautiful face, the common stuff about the Elves.
I started looking through the lines, to see if there is anything new. Hmm, there is sort of, there are two types of Elves, White Elves and Dark Elves, each have a High-Elf variant. High Elves are basically Royalty or the High Nobility of the Elves, all of them are highly respected, extrely so. Now, while White Elves are in abundant, the Dark Elves' population is extrely small, because majority of them were slaughtered due to monsters in ancient ti.
They also have different Magical powers than White Elves, rather they can use different type of spells. Then cos Amazoness, they are race of warrior woman, they have superior strength to most races except a few Demi-Humans like Boaz and Weretiger. Their magical ability is lacking though, and they lack any males, forcing them to mate with other races for procreation, and they can mate any race fine.
I could see Remia glaring at the book as I read about Amazoness, not that I care. I started looking through other races and found quite a variety of them. Then ca a variety of Demi-Human races in the world of Danmachi, many were listed in the book, they include Boaz, Bulls! My eyes stopped at its na.
Bulls are a race with cow ears and horns, and well their females are naturally endowed in a certain departnt. They are often referred as cows, then I continued rummaging through the other races, and found many like Cat People, Renard, Chienthrope, Hu bunny, Pallum, Racoon, Sheep, Werewolf, and a few more.
Damn it's more diverse than what was shown in ani, thankfully I had the knowledge other than main series otherwise I would have overwheld. Then ca the variety of Half-breeds a new race ford due to union between two races, mostly between humans and other races, they are mostly Half-Elves, Half-Pallum and Half-Dwarves.
Finally ca the Humans, generally considered the weakest race, though they have a huge population due to their breeding rate. Then cos Pallum, they have worse than humans and their night vision doesn't helps them that much. Last was Dwarfs, which are said to be physically one of the strongest races, but they are alcoholic and have a bad beef with Elves.
After races ca the geography of the world, at first glance I found Orario wasn't in the center of the continent, however it is said to be the center of the world, as said by Gods. Then there were many Kingdoms or states scattered all around the continent, there were Island countries, the most famous being the Far East due to its huge size.
There was a country famous for its magic, Altena, they supposedly have a large number of high levels in their ranks. Though by their standards it is Level 3s and 4s. Then there was a sword smithing city Solingen, famous for their high-quality crafts and majority of their population being Dwarves. I continued reading through the book.
During afternoon, I had a small break though, and Remia brought my Lunch at the Library for to eat. She is considerate as ever, I gave her a genuine thanks, and after having my lunch I continued reading the book. I did take sa breaks, either to relieve myself or just let my mind rest. After all I am not a God, and I have to eat, drink and shit.
In the end, when Dinner ti ca Remia escorted to Dining room. I quickly realized that my father was missing. " Ember!", my sister ca and took from Remia's hands and said," I heard you were reading books the entire day! Although you might be a smart kid, but you are a kid! You need to go out once a while!"
" I see, then I will take a rest from reading, sister", I said, not retorting, joy appeared on her face, and she started rubbing her cheeks against ." Ember! You are such an obedient little brother! You are all that I can ask from a sibling!!", she said with glee, and ruffled my hair, my mother smiled and said," Indeed, Ember has been holed up too much in his study, he might be smart, but he is just three years old, Riveria, it's your duty to take your brother outside tomorrow."
"Gladly!", she replied, and sat down on her chair," Mother, where is father?", I asked, though I knew he should be busy with his Kingly duties. My mother sighed and said," Sothing just ca up, so your father had to leave", I nodded in understanding," C'mon, Ember open your mouth!", anwhile my sister pushed a piece of food near my mouth.
" Sister! I can eat myself!", I retorted, she giggled and said," Nope! As a qualified big sister! I need to personally feed my cute little brother! ", in the end I was forced to be fed by her. She was too clingy, and for who was an adult inside it was uncomfortable, still it made think, will she beco like her ani self?
It won't be too much of a shock if she would, her current age is 16 while she is supposed to leave the Alf's forest like at her 70's or sothing. Add a father who forces her to remain within the boundaries of the forest despite her constant protests, it wouldn't be impossible for her to turn into a reserved type.
I know she is going to change with ti, and maybe I will think how good it would be if I she would be like right now, Clingy, energetic, and so naive. She is cute, my sister is cute, and thus with a smile I let her feed , though after so ti," Riveria, how about you give Amber to ? I need to give love to my son as well", mother said.
Riveria pouted, but seeing mother's smile which slightly widened she gave in. " Fine, though before that Muah! Muah! Muah!", she planted kisses on my delicate cheek," Ugh", I grunted, a bit taken back by the surprise attack, this ti I need my revenge, so mustering up all strength I could, I kissed her on cheek.
" Eh?!", she was stunned, so my mother and Remia, I grinned and said," That's what you get!", though that only made her give out a cry, " Ember!! That's so cute!!", and she started rubbing her cheek against mine, again. In the end, she handed to mother, and I gave her a kiss as well, after all it would be unfair if only Riveria is to get a kiss.
Satisfied she fed till I was full and kissed on my cheeks a few tis before handing to Remia. After I washed my hands, she escorted to my bed, and then leaving. Thinking of my mother and sister, I smiled, ti passes and so does the monts, therefore one should always cherish their loved ones.
They are annoying indeed, but in the end, they are my family who loves a lot. I sighed, and closed my eyes, falling to sleep, just like that another day passed.
To be continued...
