Chapter two: The world of Earthania and unexpected events
Arthur looked at the man before him wryly.
Yohann.. I can be old-faced because I get upset!
But how not to be upset, this annoying king actually gave me a fairy tale book that Killian used to read huh!
"Lad..." Arthur whining.
"What's wrong? Papa's sure a kid like you would love a picture book. This book is different from the fairy tale book that Mama gave me." Shandechz pulls Arthur's little round nose in a fit of fat.
Shandechz deliberately gave Arthur a picture story book, because after all in the eyes of adults Arthur is still a baby boy who has not even stepped on 2 years. The reading lessons taught are also basic.
"You read this book first. Papa's going to the reading room."
The reading room is a special room for the king or queen to read. It is located to the west of the library.
Shandechz called the guards. "Please look after Arthur. If there's a problem, report it to me immediately, and if she's sleepy, just drop her off to the room." Shandechz.
The guard bowed respectfully, "Okay Your Majesty the King's Emperor."
Arthur stared at Shandechz's departure. He turned around, facing the guard.
Arthur's current guardian is a young man with dark gray hair. The ears are very small, if blocked by hair, the guard looks like he has no ears. What attracted Arthur the most was the shape of his lips, printed clearly like the shape of a heart.
Hm.. The guard is interesting. I wonder what race he is.
"Master, can I ask you a favor?" Arthur called the guard slowly. Don't want their chatter heard by Shandechz.
"O-oh.. Surely Young Master Arthur." The guard looks clumsy.
Arthur smiled excitedly, "Could the guard lord get me a book on the history of this world? Any book other than this one." Arthur's hand pointed to the picture book that Shandechz gave after he said.
"It's a picture book. Definitely less detail. I want to write." Arthur continued to explain.
"Ma.. Sorry Young Master Arthur. I can't take it." The guard bowed his body quickly, "I can't read, so if Young Master told me, I don't know what book to take."
Ah...
Arthur fell silent.
Now Arthur understands why Shandechz gave him a picture book.
Shandechz must have thought Arthur was a child who could not read.
"Tch."
The guard shuddered in fear and surprise. A 1-year-old can already grieve? That's how he thought.

Teng!!
A bell ringing sign of midday has come ringing. Bells that Arthur did not know where the place sounded 3 times a day, in the morning, noon— midday—, and evening before night.
Arthur stretched his body.
It turned out that just by reading a picture story book without feeling the time quickly passed for Arthur. Arthur also begins to understand the world he is in.
This world is called Earthania.
Earthania was a world filled with all sorts of races and magic elements.
From the map in the picture book, Arthur already knew a little about the territory and the races in Earthania.
There are nine regions in Earthania. Arthur's current territory is the Empire of Earthania, located in the middle surrounded by eight other regions—which means the Empire of Earthania is the center of the territory of the World of Earthania.
Each of the nine regions was inhabited by different races. But there is one thing that is definitely depicted in the storybook, The strongest race in Earthania is Ras Arthan—Ras the descendant of the members of the Earthania Empire. It is said to be strong because the Arthans have mana—a flow in the body that is able to create magic—tak limited. Because their mana was unlimited, Ras Arthan was able to learn a wide variety of magic elements.
Oh right also, in the world of Earthania has magic power is a natural thing. A person is considered weak if he does not have magic power.
The basic magic elements studied are six, namely the magic elements of fire, water, earth, wind, light, and darkness. If one managed to learn the basic magic elements, usually one would be able to learn advanced magic elements. Just like when it fused water and wind it could create an ice magic element.
Back at Ras Arthan, besides being said to be strong because it has unlimited mana is also mentioned only Ras Arthan can defeat 'monsters'. But because the information was obtained from the picture story book, Arthur did not know what kind of monster was meant.
Well, that means Killian in the future will definitely be very strong. Should I start acting like a good brother?
The weakest race is Melvielle. The territory of the Melvielle Race was in the north of the Earthania Empire. The Melvielle race is said to be weak because they have no magic power.
There are a lot of people who talk bad about their mom. They say Mama must have used the magic created by Ras Naiad to get the King's heart.
The Naiad race itself is adjacent to the Melvielle Race, arguably the Northeast direction of Earthania.
Arthur closed his picture book. I don't know why both eyes are heavy.
I'm sleepy.
Maybe because I was a child, I often felt sleepy.
Arthur tried to get off his bench, but his short legs made it difficult.
Uh.. I still feel weird about my 'bottom' part. Especially when rubbing against pants...
Unknowingly Arthur's face flushed.
Why are my legs short!!!
"The guards.."
"Oh, oh, I'm sorry, Young Master Arthur!" The guard hurried to pick up Arthur and carry him.
"Where do you want Young Master?"
"I want to go back to my room. Sleepy."
The guard smiled, "Your Young Master!"
"Don't report me, go straight to the room."
"Ready young master!"
"Your name is Lord Guard?" Arthur asked on their way to Arthur's room.
"I'm Aide, Young Master."
"Aidone.. Can I know your race?"
Aide smiled at Arthur's polite question. "Of course it could be Young Master. I'm from the Dalphin race."
The Dalphin Race or the Dolphin Race is one of those unique races that Arthur wants to know of.
I wanted to ask a lot of questions, but I was tired.
It didn't take long to get to Arthur's room. Aide opens the door to the room, then takes Arthur to the bed.
In bed, Killian had taken a nap first.
Aide laid Arthur down carefully, after which pulled the blanket up to Arthur's chest.
Aide smiled gently, "Happy afternoon nap Young Master."
"Thank you Aide."
Right after fusing with the mattress, Arthur could no longer resist the drowsiness that attacked him. Before falling asleep he could hear Aide saying, "Happyly, may the Young Master's dream."
•••
Arthur rubbed his eyes slowly. After successfully collecting his life Arthur began to realize that it was night because the lights in the room were on.
Arthur looked next to him.
Killian is awake.
He then got off the bed with a small staircase deliberately prepared on the side of the mattress for Arthur and Killian to step off easily.
Arthur wants to get water, thirsty.
While drinking water in a glass, Arthur's head turned to look at the state of the room. His eyes caught Killian playing alone with plastic blocks and a picture book beside him.
Instantly a sense of compassion permeated the inner Arthur.
I don't know why I feel sorry to see him play alone.
After placing the glass, Arthur approached Killian.
"Kill's.." Call Arthur. Killian didn't answer, as usual.
Arthur stared ferociously at Killian.
The boy was quiet at the same time, but in front of Mama and Papa pretentious looking for attention, cih.
A second later Arthur regulated his emotions.
Don't temp.. He's a future hero, who knows I'll also be known by many people.
Arthur peeked at the picture book Killian read. "Oh that's a new fairy tale book, huh? I want to see dong!"
Arthur snatched the picture book. Killian tries to keep Arthur from taking the book but relents. Killian chose to focus on playing plastic blocks.
Arthur raised one of his eyebrows. Feeling strange with Killian's attitude.
He doesn't usually use his energy to hold me.
Unwilling to confuse him, Arthur read the illustrated fairy tale book.
Because my father started to like fairy tales!
...
Eh?
Arthur's eyes narrowed.
I didn't see it wrong, did I?
He then looked at Killian in disbelief. "Well....." Then return the fairy tale book slowly. "Ma.. Sorry, I'm returning the book."
The book that Arthur had just picked up was a fairy tale book about Snow White.
I don't think Killian likes to read romantic fairy tales!
Gosh darn..
Arthur sighed softly.
Never mind, it's better to play these plastic blocks.
Arthur took the plastic blocks, built them like Killian. He played to accompany Killian.
Until a red plastic block, the hands of the two of them accidentally touch it together.
Killian pulled the beam, Arthur who did not want to lose also pulled the beam.
"I took it first." Arthur opened his voice.
Arthur was willing to give in, but Arthur was anxious to see Killian angry.
Killian was still but his power was strengthened, indicating that the beam belonged to Killian.
There was a scene of attraction between the two babies, until Killian finally shouted, yelling at Arthur.
"HEY, THIS IS MINE! ALL THE TOYS HERE ARE MINE!"
Killian snapped with a red face. Inevitably Arthur let go of his grasp.
Uwahs... He was finally angry.
Wait, why is his face red?
Arthur hurriedly cupped both cheeks, brought his face closer to Killian's face, then pressed his eel against Killian's eel.
Killian silently stared, his eyes round. The Arthur incident glued the jidat very quickly, Killian did not have time to avoid.
At first Arthur just wanted to know Killian's face flushed from anger or because of something else—like fever.
Arthur's face turned frantic as he felt Killian's hot forehead, "Killian you have a fever! Wait, I'll call the waiter." Arthur rushed out of the room to call the waiter. Some servants entered in panic, they crowded Killian into the bed and called the Palace doctor.
Killian just kept quiet, but he still could not forget the shocking events before. On the bed Killian silently looked at Arthur who was looking at her in panic.
Little Killian's heart warms.
For the first time Killian was thrilled to have a brother.
Meanwhile, while waiting for the doctor and the waiter to treat Killian, Arthur feels that there is something strange about him.
His view from earlier seemed to be spinning dizzying.
As a flash of foreign memories filled his brain, it felt as if Arthur's brain could explode at any moment.
Ugh, my head seems to want to break.
Until one of the memories clearly displays the adult Killian killing and beheading many people, walk on a pile of corpses without any weight and point the tip of the sword at Arthur and with lightning speed cut off Arthur's head.
Arthur's stomach was churning violently.
"Hoeekkk...!!"
A waiter who heard the vomit voice looked curious. "YOUR YOUNG MASTER ARTHUR!!!"
