He sat and swept the surroundings. A familiar view he saw in the subconscious manifested–he was inside Adrian's chamber.
A spacious and fancy chamber that fitted the status he bear as a Prince.
His head turned to the door the mont it swung open and an old lady whom he saw in the 'sight' could be seen.
She gasped and covered her mouth with both hands, she was surprised beyond words.
"Your Highness..."
Tears stread down her cheeks.
"His–His Highness Prince Adrian has regained consciousness! Inford Her Majesty!"
She shouted to announce his awakening and hastily ran towards the boy.
Maids and butlers entered the chamber and so of them were crying in relief upon seeing him.
The Nanny cupped Adrian's face and looked at him worriedly.
In contrast to her reaction, Adrian didn't show any interest and looked apathetic.
"Excuse , who are you?"
The old lady in front of him stiffened, she was stunned by the words that ca out of Adrian's mouth.
Although he knew who the woman was, it would be better if he faked his mory loss as he had no recollection of this boy's past.
Moreover, there was no way he would act like the original Adrian until the ti he died.
It was crazy in his opinion, he just wanted to be himself and no one else.
So, mory loss could be a perfect alibi for him to start a new life in this world.
"Your Highness doesn't rember?"
He shook his head in response.
Her surprise beca more potent to the point that it looked as she watched how the sky crumbled down before her eyes.
Not only her, but the maids and butlers also shared the sa expression–they were shocked by the revelation.
"My goodness! Soone, please call the Imperial Physician imdiately!"
The news of Adrian's awakening spread like a wildfire and the first one who visited him was, doubtlessly, his mother.
"Ian!"
A woman with wavy blonde hair with blue eyes rushed in and embraced him tightly.
She cried on his shoulder and expressed how relieved she was–that he finally regained consciousness, how much she missed him, and many more.
A mixed feeling swirled inside him, he didn't know how to react upon receiving the worries and love she gave.
Even by how she treated him, he knew how much she loved her son, and it made him uncomfortable.
What he ant was, what would happen if she found out that he was not her real son?
In the end, he gave up thinking about anything and chose to shut his mouth.
Feeling satisfied, she let go of him and they exchanged stares for a few seconds.
Even though her eyes were bloodshot and swollen, the beauty she had remained.
The woman in front of him looked like soone who ca out of a painting–it was surreal.
A sob escaped her lips and she hugged him once again. This ti, she kissed Adrian's cheeks and forehead.
"Pardon , Your Majesty, the Imperial Physicians have arrived."
The Nanny prompted Aerilyn and she released Adrian, then wiped her tears.
"Ah, yes. Please, Doctor."
The Empress stepped aside and the old man with long gray hair and a mustache–which reminded him of Gandalf, stood by his side.
"Please excuse my rudeness."
He took his left hand and checked on his vein.
Adrian was startled a bit at the sudden surge of power entering his body and he assud it was the infamous Blood Controlling.
When soone fully masters the Water Elental, they could control anything in liquid form, and blood was not an exception.
Differing from other fantasies or gas, as this world was based on Elental and no God here, there was no such thing as a cleric, priest, or priestess that could be used as healing instant magic.
The only healing magic in this world was water elental.
But as controlling the blood of a living being was considered dangerous, doctors must make a Mana Oath, the oath content was; they would not use their power for evil purposes.
A Mana Oath ant waging your Mana Pool on the line. If the oath was broken, the Mana Pool of the person who bet it would break by itself, which later led to Mana Poisoning.
Also, there was no limitation upon making Mana Oath, everyone could form as many Oaths as they wanted with whover they liked.
"It's weird, I can't find any abnormality in His Highness' head."
Aerilyn was flabbergasted after hearing the physician's monologue.
"Head? W–what's the aning of this?"
He let go of the boy's hand and turned to the Empress.
"Your Majesty hasn't been inford that His Highness the Prince has a mory loss?"
"mory loss?!"
Her eyes stretched wide and she scanned all of the maids and butlers; looking for an explanation, but no one dared to say a word.
Aerilyn returned her sight to his son and only after she carefully studied him, she t his indifferent–expressionless face.
Now that she thought about it, it was understandable why Adrian just kept quiet when she cuddled him.
Usually, he would hug her back and often cry; saying that he was scared but right now...
"Oh, dear..."
Her heart fell. Aerilyn hastily embraced him and attacked him with kisses.
"You must be confused right now."
Honestly, he was way too old to be pampered like this, but the thought of him taking over her son's body made him taken aback.
"His Highness' mory loss may be due to the ntal shocks."
The physician concluded.
She caressed Adrian's face and spoke in a warm tone.
"It's all right, your mories will return soon."
Adrian nodded in response.
"His Majesty the Emperor is entering!"
A middle-aged man with white hair and red eyes entered the chamber, standing proud and tall among his attendants.
The people inside bowed and curtseyed as he walked towards the boy who sat on the bed.
Well, eting him directly was different from seeing him from a screen.
The man before him had no shortage of charisma or dignity to lead the entire continent.
His ruby eyes stared at him and he fearlessly glared back at him.
"You didn't say hello to your father?"
"You're... my father?"
Arthur was dazed by the words that penetrate his ears and the Empress imdiately stepped forward.
"Pardon , Your Majesty, but Prince Adrian has lost his mory due to the accident."
He peered at the Physicians.
"Can you do sothing about it?"
The old man shook his head.
"I'm afraid I can't."
Arthur sighed and returned his vision to Adrian, then placed his hand on his son's shoulder.
"Don't worry, your mories will be back."
"Thank you."
Soon, the Emperor left, simplicity, he was too busy and the Empress continued to pamper him.
She fed him food, explained who he was, and many more.
Only after the sun was set that she finally returned to her Palace and hand over the nursing to the Nanny.
As the Nanny vehently refused for him to step down from the bed, in the end, he decided to go to sleep.
However, a mont after he closed his eyes, his Nanny announced sothing unexpected.
"His Highness Prince Nathaniel ca to visit, would you like to et him?"
His eyelids slowly opened, uncovering a set of azure eyes that shone brightly in the dark.
'How surprising...'
He didn't expect to et the protagonist of this world so soon.
Adrian sat and answered.
"I'll et him."
