After a brief mont of looking into the child's innocent eyes, she pinched his cheek before walking away and standing against a wall.
The other 7 children in the room ca and gathered around as she moved away.
The Mother, Skyler, smiled wryly.
Skybelle had always been like this. After all, she was one of the most talented swordswon in the entire kingdom.
Even her own siblings feared and respected her.
Skynder looked up at the faces around him. He was truly not Zhou Fan, and he did not have any thoughts otherwise. In fact, he had little thoughts at all right now.
Perhaps Zhou Fan had underestimated his own mind or power, but there were still traces of him in the child. It was indeed completely different from him, but Zhou Fan's personality would have a slight effect on the child.
In addition, the child's eyes were green. This was sothing that everyone noticed. All of his siblings stared into his eyes with awe. They were incredible. Only the eldest sister had been able to look away. From afar, even Baron Sky had started looking at his eyes.
A normal baby would not be able to see for a while after being born, but it seed as if the golden light of the Priestess had hastened this process.
After a while, Baron Sky and the children left the room, and eventually the building. Only Skynder was left behind along with his mother, Skyler.
This is where the true "Reincarnation" of Zhou Fan began.
Three years later, Skynder gained the ability to form mories, and as such, his life changed. He had known how to walk and talk from a surprisingly young age.
Even though he was only at the age of three, he could speak at the level of a five year old. It wasn't unbelievable talent, but his parents were excited that he seed at least a bit out of the ordinary, and in a good way.
Skynder looked different from Zhou Fan. He had taken the traits of his family, with only the green eyes being unique, sothing the won of his family found very charming.
He had short brown hair and a slightly above average face.
Skynder began to run around, playing with his youngest sister, the 8th child and the youngest besides him, Skytear. She was three years older than him, and she got along with Skynder quite well.
Suddenly, Skynder stopped running.
"What am I doing?" He asked himself.
This was the exact mont his consciousness fully developed.
Looking forward, his sister, Skytear, stopped and looked at him in concern.
"Is everything alright, Brother?" She asked.
"Yep. I was just a little confused." Skynder responded.
"Want to keep playing?" She asked.
Skynder shook his head. "I am going to look for Eldest Sister."
Skytear pouted, but did not complain as Skynder left.
He ran around the house looking for his Eldest Sister. As expected, he found her in the yard, practicing with a sword.
She was nearly an adult now. Skynder found himself lost as he watched. He was not focused on his Eldest Sister, who countless people throughout the kingdom would find unbearably enchanting, but the movents of the sword.
It was as if he was staring at the stars.
His mouth unconsciously moved. "Sloppy."
He muttered it so quietly that he couldn't even hear it himself.
At that mont, his Eldest Sister noticed him. She stopped and looked at him with a smile.
"Want to play?" She asked.
Skynder snapped out of his trance as the sword stopped. "Yes. Let's play with swords."
Skybelle hesitated for a mont before nodding with a smile.
She tossed Skynder a wooden sword and took one herself.
Skynder could barely even walk with accuracy.
He "ran" forward and slashed, but Skybelle stepped to the side.
He slashed horizontally, but she took a step back.
Skynder continuously attacked, but he was effortlessly dodged. As he ran out of breath and his attacks slowed to a near halt, Skybelle t sword with sword.
Moving her sword in a circular motion, Skynders sword flew out of his hand. He panted and sat down.
Skybelle kneeled in front of him, offering a piggyback ride.
Skynder graciously accepted.
As they walked, Skybelle spoke. "You know that nothing could ever happen to you, right?"
Skynder nodded. He had heard this countless tis.
Although Baron Sky was indeed only a Baron, the Sky family was one of the most ancient families not only in the kingdom, but even the empire and the surrounding empires.
Though indeed only a Baron, Baron Sky held a high position in the Kingdom. His intelligence was frightening, and his heritage was incredibly long.
This, combined with his sister's status as a future Sword Master of the imperial army, made the odds of Skynder ever being hurt by soone else nearly zero. It was quite good luck to be born in such a family.
Skynder fell asleep on his sister's back, who took him to his room and sat him on his bed. When he woke up, it was dinner ti.
Though drowsy, Skynder obediently got up as a knock sounded on his door.
There was no need for the person behind it to even speak. Skynder struggled to get off of his bed and opened the door.
"Dinner ti." The old servant said.
Skynder nodded and walked down the hall with the servant. He was led to a dinner table, with him being the only one not yet there.
"If it isn't Skynder the independent. Look at you, so mature for your age." His Eldest Brother comnted.
Nobody could tell if it was a genuine complint or a backhanded one.
His Eldest brother was nad Sky the 2nd. He was the heir, and when he inherited the Barony, his na would beco Sky, just as his forefathers.
But for now, they just called him Eldest Brother.
"Thank you." Skynder said as he sat down.
Regardless of what his Eldest Brother intended to an, he took it as a complint.
There was no doubt that his Eldest Brother would inherit the Barony. His scores at the Imperial school were at the very top, the first in many generations of the Sky Barony.
Even the King had taken notice of him. There was indeed a royal school, but the King's own children attended the Imperial School. The Royal school was intended for nobles who failed to get into the Imperial school.
Although the highest ranked school in the Kingdom, it was truly just a school for noble failures.
