Not Your Perfect Prince
The Runegarde

Since Reinhart was considered exhausted from the long journey, after a light welcome, the young man actually went straight to his room and went to sleep.

No warm welcome, no party, really just mere acceptance of formality.

The next morning, though reluctant, Reinhart actually still went to breakfast together because it was an obligation.

Besides King Aaron and his two wives, there were still seven Reinhart brothers and sisters. Yep. Unlike the warm little family, his family remained as cold as the temperature outside the palace despite having many members.

Not to mention, Reinhart really felt most shunned and hated by her brothers and sisters. Of King Aaron's eight children, including Reinhart, there were four women and four men.

The first, second, and third children are women. Reinhart, fourth child. And the fifth child, man. Sixth daughter. Lastly, two twin boys.

Children number 1, 3, and 5 are Charlotte's children. Children number 2, 4, 6, 7, and 8 are Evelyn's children.

Although Charlotte, King Aaron's first wife had a faint smile on her face. That woman is actually sneaky. In addition, he also hated Reinhart because he was a first born boy. A figure who had a great chance of becoming the crown prince.

Not to mention, compared to her three children, Evelyn's five children turned out to have better talent in magic. Except for the 2nd child who had ice attribute magic and the 6th child who had wind attribute magic like Evelyn. The three princes, Reinhart and the twins inherited the lightning magic belonging to the Runegarde Family.

Yep. Evelyn was a rare two attribute mage. A very talented and rare type of beautiful woman. Merely, the cold expression on his face made many people not dare to look at him. Even Charlotte, King Aaron's first wife was also somewhat afraid of the woman.

On Charlotte's own side, it was even the first child to inherit lightning magic. His son did not inherit the magic. So, Reinhart's existence as well as his two younger brothers had truly become a rock that stuck in his heart.

After breakfast, they sat in their seats.

After taking a sip of wine from the crystal glass, King Aaron said.

"I heard you got number two in the academy match, Reinhart."

"Yes, Your Majesty."

Reinhart replied with a flat expression. I really don't feel like I'm talking to my father.

"I heard, you were disqualified for narrowly killing your opponent in the arena. Failed to win the champion because of that."

"Yes, Your Majesty."

"Then, I heard ... You used forbidden magic in the match?"

At the time the question was mentioned, the atmosphere at the dining table instantly became cold. Many pairs of eyes were directed at Reinhart.

Already accustomed to feeling that kind of gaze, the young man replied in a monotonous tone.

"That's just magic I made, Your Majesty. It is not at all worthy of being considered a forbidden magic."

Hearing his son's words, King Aaron's eyes narrowed. He felt that his son was becoming more mature and different than before.

Despite knowing that Reinhart was a genius type child, she had previously been more reserved. Not only was he quiet, but he was also more isolating himself as if hiding something.

Now, the young man is still alone. But compared to the attitude of hiding something like before, right now, he was more like a figure who did not care about what was around him.

"Although it's a pity not to get the number 1, but you did a good thing in your studies. Ranked first in every lesson, number one in the same class.

You're not shaming Runegarde's name."

"Thank you very much for the compliment, Your Honor. However, if allowed, I would like to ask something of you."

"Hm?"

Hearing Reinhart's remark, the atmosphere at the dining table instantly became colder. Straight down to freezing!

King Aaron's other sons stared at Reinhart as if they were looking at the dead! Really feel too brave.

"Runegarde is a fair family. Always give what is worth giving. So, tell me what you want."

Ignoring the complicated gazes of his brothers and sisters, Reinhart still replied in a monotonous tone.

Hearing Reinhart's words, not only the other children, even King Aaron's two wives were shocked.

Not directly answering, King Aaron was silent for quite a while before finally opening his mouth.

"What do you want to find out from that place? There was filled with books on circle 5 magic techniques, even some forbidden magic. You haven't reached that level yet, it's meaningless that you enter the forbidden area."

"What if I go through circle 5?"

Reinhart said in a monotonous tone.

"Then in addition to the core of the library and the royal treasury, as a qualified prince, you are free to access other places throughout the palace."

"I understand, Your Majesty."

After that, the atmosphere again became quiet and awkward. King Aaron got up from his chair and said.

"Then, do what you want as long as it doesn't break the rules."

After saying that, King Aaron left followed by his two wives.

When his parents left, without waiting for seniority, Reinhart immediately got up from her seat and left.

It really stupefied the other kids.

In the afternoon, in the training room.

"You've done well, sir."

The figure of Isana wearing knight armor said in awe. Staring towards Reinhart with an appreciative expression.

"It's still nothing. Too far from what I expected."

Wearing armor as well as a heavy sword that reduced his mobility, Reinhart said in a dissatisfied tone.

Clearly, due to their level difference, Isana held back when fighting Reinhart. Of course, on the other hand, the silver-haired prince did not use magic spells like he usually did. Fighting with his high knight ability.

At that moment, the door of the private training room was knocked.

Geck! Geck! Geck!

"Come in" Reinhart said in a flat tone.

The door opened, the figure of the palace maid entering the room.

Looking at the two servants who should not have been under him and were foreign enough made Reinhart raise her eyebrows.

"You?" ask Reinhart.

"This one is named Lulu, while she's my sister Lala, Prince Reinhart. We are both servants and caretakers of Prince Edsel and Prince Edward."

Hearing that, Reinhart felt even stranger. The seventh and eighth children are the youngest. Not to mention, their distance was far from the other brothers and sisters. After all, they were still six years old!

As for the sixth child, he was already nearly eleven years old.

Looking towards Edsel and Edward, the black and silver-haired boy with blue eyes hiding behind the two maids with a somewhat frightened expression, Reinhart could not help but ask.

"Do you need anything from me, Edsel, Edward?"
