Chapter 2: Prologue II: The Exiled Prince
"Uncle Sebastian, why are you doing this!?" A child around eleven years old sobbed while staring at the middle-aged man in front of him.
The middle-aged man put on aplicated expression and sighed. "I''m sorry, your highness. It''s the king''s order. The royal family can''t have a manaless child."
The child cried even more. He could not believe that something like this was happening. His uncle Sebastian, who always pampered him, suddenly took him away and brought him to this ce in the middle of the night.
Sebastian sighed sadly. To be honest, he rather liked the boy. The boy was kind, smart, and curious. Unfortunately, the royal family could not afford to have a cursed child, a manaless.
So, the child must disappear.
Sebastian took a beautiful ring and put it on the child''s hands, then he gave him a short sword. "Your highness, hear my words carefully. This is a storage ring. I left a bit of my mana inside, so you will be able to use it for one year without a problem. There are food and freshwater inside. Also, your mother packed some clothes and clean bedding.
"This ce is the exilednds. I heard that there are humans living inside, so if you want to survive, you must find them From today onwards, you are no longer a member of the Skysword family. Glenn Skysword died tonight."
Glenn cried sadly. He could not believe it. He could not believe that his father sent him to this scary ce. He could not believe that his mother agreed. He could not believe that he had been abandoned.
Sebastian looked at the child onest time and sighed.
"Your highness, take care." With those words, the middle-aged man vanished.
As for the child, he remained crying for a long time.
"Father! What did you do?! Answer me!!!" A young girl shouted furiously. Her ck eyes were covered in tears, and her fists were clenched angrily.
However, the man before her remained silent. He looked at the crying little girl and heaved a sigh. "Eres, the royal family can''t have failures."
"He was not a failure! He was my brother! My brother! Mother, say something!"
"I''m sorry... I''m sorry I''m sorry My son, I''m sorry Mother did not have more options" A beautiful ck-haired woman covered her face with her hands and cried softly.
"You You knew" Eres''s face turned white. Then, she screamed.
"You!!!"
Powerful mana surged out of her body. The walls of the castle trembled, and the people in the surroundings shivered in fear.
However, her father just sighed.
"Sleep." He touched her head and the little girl fainted.
"Such a powerful magic power." The king said with aplicated expression. "I don''t understand why the other child was a failure then. Could it be that a twin inherited all the magic power of the other?"
He then looked in direction of the exilednds. "The royal family can''t have a cursed child. And if there is one, he must disappear."
Looking at his crying wife and his daughter lying on the ground, the king could not help but sigh again.
"Someone, take the princess to her room."
A servant nodded respectfully and lifted the little princes lying in the ground.
Tears flowed out of the little girl''s eyes. Even after fainting, her lips continued moving softly.
"Glenn,e back"
