After that visit to the palace, Livius refused to go again. In his past life, he was always a serious boy without good friends. He dedicated his life to working, getting to where he was cost him since he had no one to support him. He learned that life wasn't easy when you didn't have money, so he valued every achievement he had because it was through his effort, although that led him to develop a closed personality. He only smiled in front of the cameras, but in his daily life, he was a loner who preferred to stay at home enjoying a movie or reading romantic novels, dreaming that maybe someday, just like the protagonists, he would also find his great love.
Little Livius lets out a long sigh after closing the book in his hands. Now, his favorite place was the library. He used to stay there after class to read information about this world. He discovered that there are people who possess magic, although not all. Most are temple mages or come from very prestigious families that serve the emperor, and among those families were the Stefans, that is, his. That meant that he should have powers. He doesn't remember much about the novel yet, so he doesn't have that detail in mind yet, but he imagines that it must be strong magic since it gave the empire a fight.
He left the library looking for his parents. The first one he found was the Duchess, a beautiful young woman, perhaps not even over 30 years old, something normal at that time, as they usually marry quite young.
“Mother, forgive me for interrupting, I would like to ask you a question."
"You’re not interrupting anything, little one. Tell me.”
The woman smiled at him with the warmest and sweetest smile he had ever seen. His heart skipped a beat. His mother was beautiful and kind; it's incredible that all of that changed just from manifesting as an omega. The Duchess lifted him up by the arms and sat him on her lap.
"What kind of magic do I have?"
"Hmm... I don't know; it hasn't manifested yet. Maybe it’s not the same as your father’s.”
"So, I won't inherit the same magic as my father?"
"Maybe not, maybe so. You’ll have to wait."
"How long will I have to wait?”
"It won’t be long now. It should happen when you turn eleven.”
"I understand... thank you, Mother."
Just the age at which they usually manifest their secondary gender. He let out a slight sigh.
"You know you can tell me anything, little one."
The woman kissed him on the forehead, causing Livius to feel embarrassed. He had never felt that love from a mother before. He couldn't help but smile. Maybe it wouldn't be so bad to be Livius Stefan. No, what was he thinking? He would only have those gestures of affection for a year. The following days, Livius continued with his classes and his research on the world he now inhabited. The incredible thing is that despite being in ancient times, electricity existed, but there were no objects that needed it. According to his research, electricity was produced thanks to the magic crystals from the temple that supplied the entire city. It was incredible what they had achieved, but thanks to that, he doesn't have to live in a world where he has to use candles; it's very annoying. He also discovered about the different types of magic that exist, each person is born with a special one.
"Do you really want to learn?"
The Duke was surprised. Livius had never shown any interest in learning to use the sword, especially since he looked like a fragile child. No matter how much he ate, his body was still thin.
"Yes, Father. I think I should know a little bit of everything if I’m going to serve the imperial family.”
Although, if possible, it would be better if he didn't continue with that absurd tradition of being a faithful servant to the emperor in turn.
"You’re right. Alright, but it will be light training.”
"I didn't expect you to like swordsmanship, Liv.”
Ophelia was there present as she was having tea with her father.
"I just thought I could learn for self-defense.”
"Oh! Good idea."
The Duke pats the little boy's head. He mentions that he will look for a suitable teacher for him to start learning the basics. Right after that, his nanny comes for him, mentioning that he has a visitor. Upon reaching the room, he only feels the brown-haired boy lunging at him, hugging him, and rubbing his cheek against his.
"Livi!!! I missed you so much. Your mother went to the palace and brought me to see you.”
"O-of course, what a surprise..."
Livius lets out a forced giggle. His mother shouldn't have brought him; the last thing he wants is to keep dealing with that boy. Livius looks towards Ophelia, who has seen the scene but greets the prince with a curtsy from afar and continues with her tea-drinking routine. Something strange, since she is supposed to be Maximiliam's fiancee.
"Come on, Livi. Let's go to your bedroom.”
Unable to resist, the little brown-haired boy takes him by the hand to go to the bedroom. And there he was, sitting on the edge of the bed while the little brown-haired boy jumps on the furniture. It's incredible that he has to put up with all this, but he can't yell at him to leave; surely his parents would scold him for snubbing the Crown Prince.
“Liviiiii!!!! Jump with me."
The brown-haired boy hugs him by the neck and pulls him so that he can stay in the middle of the bed.
"Come on, it's fun, Livi.”
"It’s not, and you’ll ruin my bed. How old are you? Stop acting like a child.”
"Livi, we’re children. I can’t act like an adult if I’m not an adult.”
Livius clicks his tongue. He thought that with that, he would be offended and leave.
