On the water of the river Ott, all kinds of ships were sailing up and down. Most of the ships docked in a bustling harbor of a big city. Where the crew of the ships could start unloading the cargo from the vessel.

The big city by the river was surrounded by a city wall. However, the city wasn't only accessible from the water. No, on the 10 meters high and more than 3-kilometer-long wall full of bastions, there were 3 gates. In front of which, the rows of people stood in the scorching sun, waiting to be let into the city. The walls and gates were protected by soldiers in plate armor.

On the city's tangled streets full of life, the inhabitants of the city were walking up and down while dodging the horse-drawn carriages. Kids were playing or running around on the streets. The biggest market in the city was noisy from the vendors trying to outshout each other. Judging by the smiles of the people, most of them were content with their simple but happy lives.

However, not everything was as perfect as it seemed at the first glance. The streets on which people walked and children played were muddy and dirty, but it was even worse that everything was covered with human or animal feces. In some places, the corpses of horses or other animals are left on the street rotting. Which, in addition to the terrible smell, also provides a perfect habitat for rodents. Not to mention, what happens in the narrow dark alleys between the tangled houses.

However, separated from the city by another wall, on a small hill in the middle of the city, stood the royal palace. Usually, the palace is characterized by tranquility, however now it was everything but calm. You could feel the excitement vibrating in the air.

After all, today is a very special day. Because after 9 months of pregnancy, finally, the Queen is giving birth to her first child today!

-x-X-x-

"Ach, ****!"

A woman shouted in pain. She was sweating buckets of sweat and her face was churned in pain. But it still couldn't hide the woman's other wordly features. She had milky skin and blond hair. And her eyes were blue like a deep ocean. Wasn't for the exhaustion she would look like she is in her twenties

"I am never getting pregnant again!"

She was currently having one of the worst pain that a human can feel, childbirth.

"One more push my Lady!"

The older lady, who was helping her lady in giving birth, tried to encourage her tiered lady.

"Ahhhhh"

With one final push, the blond hair lady gave birth to her child.

The older lady while holding the newborn, cut the belly cord and washed the baby in warm water.

"My Lady, it's a boy!"

The old nursemaid said to the Queen with excitement. The Queen's fatigue instantly went away like it never existed after hearing the good news! But she was still a little bit worried because the baby was too quiet.

"Shouldn't he cry or something?"

"Don't worry my Lady! Look!"

*Smack*

And the old nursemaid to calm her Queen, smacked the newborn's bare round butt. But the little baby didn't appreciate the kind gesture. So like clockwork, he started to cry.

"Uwaaah!"

"Give him to me!"

The young Queen couldn't bear to see his children crying. And the old nursemaid happily obliged the command. And placed the little crying bag into his mother's embrace

"Okay, okay, your mother is here you don't have to cry now."

The little prince looked into his mother's eyes. And after feeling his mother's warmth and hearing her sweet words he gradually stopped crying. Making the room quiet again. The old nursemaid seeing the tranquil moment of the mother and son duo, smiled and started to reminisce about the past. But sadly the moment didn't last forever.

*Bang!*

Whit a big bang the door leading to the room opened. And with hurried steps, a man in his late twenties run into the room. He was visibly tired and anxious. His blood red hair which usually was well groomed and straight now was looking more like a nest, showing how messy it is. He had dark circles under his eyes.

Hearing the loud sound the old nursemaid woke up from her memories. And after looking at the sudden intruder, for a moment she was frightened. But then composed herself, and bowed towards the man.

"My king!"

But the man ignored her and hurriedly walked to the bed. Where the Queen was playing with her baby's chubby cheeks. The King after seeing his wife is okay he looked down at his newborn child.

"Here you can take him! He is our firstborn son!"

The Queen lifted up the newborn and offered him to his father after seeing her husband looking at the baby. The king cast a loving gaze at his wife and took the baby out of her hand.

The King then raised up his son. Who started to look around curiously. Seeing how intelligent his child already is the King smiled and declared:

"Because you are already so smart, I name you Albert. Albert Ulrich Burg!"

"And because you are my firstborn child, you are the crown prince of the Andola kingdom!"

-x-X-x-

(Albert pov)

'Wait...'

'What?!'

'Huh, where am I?!'

Oliver looked around confused.

'What the **** is this?'

He found himself in a strange place which was hard to describe by words. If he had to compare it to something, he would say that it looks like the stomach of a monster from inside in crappy horror movies.

And the reddish light comming from the strange walls, looked like when someone light through there hand withe a strong lamp. But it was still enough to light up the place.

However the strangest thing was that, he was currently floating in some kind of warm liquid but he still didn't have to take a breath.

*Badump*

*Badump*

*Badump*

'So annoying!'

The continues sound, which soundsd like a heart beat, was driving him insane.

'Is this some kind of Lucid dream?'

Last thing that Oliver could remember before he got here, was him going to bed. So the best explanation for his current position, is an extremely realistic dream.

'What hell is happening?!'

His musing was interrupted by the sudden flow of the liquid which he was currently floating in. It started to flow in on direction, sweping him in the same direction.

'No, no, no!'

He tried to resist the flow but he couldn't move normally not to mention against the flow. So the resistance was futile. And he was slowly swept toward the hole where liquid went.

'I hope at least its going to be fast!'

Sadly, his wish's opposite happened and next few hours going to be his life's most painful moments.

-x-X-x-

(After a few hours of painful suffering.)

'Finally the torture ended!

Oliver cheered felling the fresh air on his skin.

'My eyesight is really bad!'

He said after opening his eyes and it was hazy. He couldn't see further then a meter.

However he still could see the old woman who was holding him.

'It can't be some really realistic lucid dream because I felt pain!'

Looked down at his hands wich instead of adult's, now looked like a newborn's hands.

'Everything is big and my body is of that of a baby...'

And then the realization hit him like a good sledgehammer.

'It probably means I have somehow died and now reincarnated!'

While Oliver was deep in his thoughts, the old lady washed and wiped him down.

"#&_##_#@&"

[A/n: Mc doesn't understand the language yet]

A sweet but worried voice sounded. To which the old lady replied.

"@$_&##$$@"

'What are they talking about?

Tought Oliver, because he didn't know the lenguage and he never heard a language like this.

'Maybe I am in a smaller country...'

However though process was cut in half by the old granny by slapping his still fresh and sensitive round butt. He wanted to shout: you stupid old granny what is your problem! But it came out something along the lines of:

"Uwaaah!"

He tried to calm down but the pent up emotions of the rebirth started to flood out uncontrollably.

"$@&_#$@$#_"

But luckily his savior appeared in the warm voice of the other lady in the room. The stupid (in Oliver's book) granny took him to the another lady with pretty face and blonde hair. And gave him to her.

"#_@&#$@&"

Oliver feeling the warmth of the woman he instinctly new she is her mother. And hearing her voice his emotions started to calm down. And gradually started loose himself in the oozing love of his mother.

'Maybe this reincarnation is not that bad.'

Oliver was so zoomed out that, he totaly ignored her mother, who started to play with his chubby cheeks. And even ignored the loud opening of the door and the man who came in the room trough the open door.

He only woke up from his daydreaming when his mother suddenly lifted him up. Feeling the sudden movement, he looked around curiously.

'Who is he?!'

He noticed the man standing beside the bed. He was bit older than his mother and he had red hair.

"$#_#_#@&"

Oliver's mother said. And gave him to the man.

'He is probably my father!'

His (probably) father lifted him high up. He used his chance to look around in the room from high up.

'Looking at the luxurious room we are probably rich!'

Before he could lose himself in his thoughts again he started to talk.

"$@_#&&#$@ Albert. Albert Ulrich Burg..."

'That is probably my name. Albert not bad, I think means nobel and bright'

"...the crown price of the Andola kingdom!"

'Wait..'

'What? The crown prince of a kingdom?!'

While Oliver [A/n:from now on Albert] was still in shock. His father smiled, caressed his little head and give him back to his mother.

And went out of the door back to his obligations as a king. Since he already postponed them because of his wife's child birth. Since his wife and son is healthy he can do the piled up work with peace of mind. And the celebration could wait.

-x-X-x-

Back to Albert who already processed the shocking news. And now he is doing one shameful thing in his life: eating.

'No matter how shameful it is I still need to eat.'

*Blurp*

After finished eating he looked up at his mother. Who is still brightly smiled at him but she already started to dose of.

'It seems she is exhausted after giving me birth.'

But Albert wasn't the only one who noticed this. The granny (nursemaid) lifted Albert up and covered her lady with the blanket.

Then she walked to the crib in the corner of the room. And then put the little Prince into it and wrapped him tightly into the blanket. And smiled warmly at the baby and then walked away.

'Maybe she is not that bad...' (Still angry about the slap)

Smiled Albert and decided that, he had enough for today and it is time to sleep. He closed his eyes and started to dive into the world of dreams. Before he finally fell a sleep he had only one tought.

'I hope it wasn't a dream.'

[A/n: If you have a good idea for technology and want to read it in the novel please write it down in the comments. Technologys like paper making, glass making, steam powered machines etc. if the novels last enough then sci-fi is good too.]

In luxurious room, in front of the fireplace stood a boy who was just around 9 month old. However, while his peers were just taking their first steps, he was already standing stable on his little feet.

His walking wasn't the only thing particual about him. No, a lot of things were weird about him. Like the continues mumbling under his nose or the intelligent glint in his eyes.

However the weirdest thing wasn't about him, but about the strange drawing and writing that is incomprehensible by the people from this world. Which the boy wrote by a burnt stick that he got from the fire place.

As all of you already guessed the boy was Albert.

He was writing dawn his plans for the future to solidify his memorys. Since in both of his life he always dreamed about becoming a King, his head was full with theories, technologies, potential laws and so much more. So sometimes he had to write them down before he could forget them.

'Hmmm, it's getting really boring.'

Albert started to get bored out of his mind. Because he had two goals which he could do as a baby. And he already completed them, since his goals were talking and walking. Not much but at least it is something! Education is only starts when he is 5 years old. And he couldn't use his knowledge because who would listen to a 9 months old.

'Maybe I should ask mother to start the education earlier.'

*Huss*

The cold wind blew through the the gaps of the wooden shutters, flickering the candle light.

"Achooo!"

'It's getting cold lately.'

'I think it's already november, the winter is coming soon.'

"Young master you are going to catch cold!"

Told, a busty woman with short brown hair and green eyes. And put a big pelt on him.

'Winter clothing is crappy!'

Albert complained in his head but still thanked the good gesture.

"Thank you Bella!"

Said the boy while rubbing his nose into his handkerchief.

"Anything for the young master!"

Said Bella with a big proud smile.

'Sigh, she is like a little dog, getting proud because I complimented her...'

"But how many times do I have to tell you, that you should call me Al like my mother, when it just the two of us!"

Said Albert with a serious face.

"But young master, how could I do that?!"

"There is no but! From now on you have to call me Al and I will call you Bell!"

"Yes young mas- I mean Al!"

Said Bella after a brief moment of hesitation.

"Hmph, so much better... Bell!"

'How fast the time passes, I already know her for a 9 months.'

Bella originally was a random maid in the palace. But her second son was born when Albert was born and so she became the wet nurse of the baby price. And later, when the Queen was satisfied with her work, she got promoted and became Albert's nursemaid.

Since she is from a well off family the house hold tasks are handled by a servant.

'She is a little bit clumsy but she is loyal and had a good heart.'

"Btw how is August and Balthazar?"

August and Balthazar was Bella's two sons name. And since she is almost always with Arthur and she always talks about his two precious child. And sometimes she brings them to meet with him. So they grown on Albert too and he cared about them too.

"Oh, you can't believe what happened!"

Chirped Bella.

"Hmm, what happened?"

"Balthazar stood up on his own without assistance!"

Bella said so excitedly that one would think she had just won the Olympics.

"That's wonderful!"

Said Arthur with a little flat tone. But Bella still caught on.

"I know Al, that for you it isn't count as a great achievement. Since the highness is a genius!"

Hearing the praise of the woman, who he thought of as a second mother, Albert was a little proud. And felt a little embarrassed because he got proud after a little praise.

"Cough, cough."

He caught a little to hide his embarrassment.

"Young master is okay?!"

But Bella thought he got cold.

"I am okay. Thank you."

"That's good."

"...And how about August, he still wants to become a knight?"

He tryed to change the topic before Bella could get more worried about him

"Sigh... That child..."

Bella's cheerful face morphed into a worried look.

"He caught a bad cold!"

"What? How?"

Seeing the worried face of his nurse maid, Albert couldn't help but ask. Even though an illness is not uncommon in the middle ages.

"Sigh.. He wants to become a knight so badly that he is trained in the cold and his clothes weren't enough warm."

Hearing the determination of August he couldn't help but admire him even more. Even though he is just 7 years old he is already training harder then some adult.

"But why didn't he have a warm cloth? I thought you had enough."

Asked Albert since they should have enough warm clothes for the winter.

"Oh because, Balthazar was a little cold so August gave his to him."

'Hmm, that's true. The family got bigger.'

"Than do you want one pelt?"

"Thank you for your concern young master! But it's to expensive to me to accept!"

Said Bella while tears of appreciation were streaming out of her eyes.

"Yeah good pelts are so expensive!"

"Don't worry young master we are going to buy a cheaper woolen cloth!"

'Cheaper...woolen...warm...'

In Albert's head these three word started to repeat again and again. And flash backs of his last life started to appear slowly.

'Is the young master okay?'

While Albert was in his toughts his nursemaid started to get concerned about him.

Suddenly jumped up and shouted!

"I have good idea!"

From fright Bella fell out of the chair which she was sitting in.

"Young master, don't shout so suddenly, I got scared."

"Sorry Bella I got excited!"

Apologized the boy and helped her stand up.

"No problem young master but please don't do it again!"

"Okay I promise but I need your help with someting!"

Bella couldn't help but wonder, why is the crown prince who most of the time is calm suddenly became so excited.

"I can help you anything, young master!"

Albert looked at Bella with stars in his eyes.

"Please bring me a few straight wooden sticks and a lot of yarn!"

"Huh, why do you need that young master?"

"It's a secret if you got it I. will show it to you!"
