Novel Bin Chapter 683 Older?
As a busy woman, the Empress shouldn\'t have enough time to stay by Nial\'s side for the last two weeks. However, she couldn\'t care less about that. Her son was the most important thing in her life. She would even forsake her position as Empress if that meant she could protect her lovely son from harm.
The citizens of the Lacardian Empyrean Void were a little worried about this since they had heard rumors about the obsessiveness and overprotectiveness of the Empress, but it was not as if they couldn\'t understand her. Everyone near Nial was naturally drawn to him as if they had been bewitched. They would be willing to sacrifice their lives for Nial\'s well-being, though that was not something Nial wished to happen.
Nial was too busy adjusting to the terrific potential hue of the Goldscale Serpent to care about anything else. He was communicating with Goldy and tried to find out a few traits unique to the Goldscale Serpent.
The Goldscale Serpent didn\'t know all of its traits but it was able to see in darkness and it could harden its scales as long as mana was channeled inside them.
Nial was interested in Goldy and he wanted to know everything. Their bond was already very strong from the beginning and he felt a substantial change in his body. The cells in his body were slowly altered through his connection with Goldy. This was something that may as well change the resilience of his skin. In fact, it was very likely that his body and appearance would change slightly according to the unique traits of the Goldscale Serpent.
In the worst case, golden scales would grow out of his skin, covering his entire body. It was rare for something like that to happen, but it was not impossible.
"How much longer do I have to stay in here? The mana in the Infirmary is weird…" Nial asked his mother, while looking at her by lifting his head. He stared at her upside down, which caused the Empress to smile lightly before she flicked his forehead lightly.
"Agihgh!" He blurted out loudly before covering his forehead. He turned around and looked at his mother with a pout.
"Mom, that hurt…"
The Empress channeled Mana inside him while continuing to smile.
"It didn\'t hurt, silly."
"Hmmm, yeah…"
Time passed slowly as Nial enjoyed his precious time with the Empress, his mother. Unfortunately, the period of his rest ended soon enough.
The Empress had to return to work because she left aside too many things to take care of her son. She was not even able to find the time to eat dinner with him. That was how busy she had gotten. It left him dispirited, but there was nothing she could do about it.
As the Empress, she had certain responsibilities, and she couldn\'t cast them aside for too long. Fortunately, Nial was in good hands with their servants. A Swordsmaster had been hired as well as a retired scholar. There were even explorers of the Monster Dimension and a few other highly renowned people that had been hired for the sake of Nial\'s education.
Of course, the Empress overdid it a little bit. Nial was supposed to attend the royal academy and visit a normal kindergarten in order to grow up close to his subordinates.
As the Crown Prince of the Lacardian Empyrean Void, he was supposed to know the life of commoners and nobles from experiences. He would switch from a kindergarten where only commoners were supposed to be into an Academy for Summoners.
Most Summoners were nobles, wealthy merchants, and children of renowned families. After all, the resources at display allowed them to nurture their younger generation much faster than ordinary people could. At the same time, the innate talent of nobles was usually a lot higher than that of commoners.
Of course, there were exceptions but they were quite rare.
It was important for the Crown Prince to be a role model for his subjects, but it was a little bit too much if he were to spend his time in kindergarten studying the material that would usually be learned in the Academy for Summoners.
Maybe it was just Nial thinking like this, but he could tell that his future would have little fun left. The servants treated him with more respect now and they hardly played with him. He had much less freetime than before and he was soon thrown into a kindergarten where he would stay until he would be seven.
By then, he would enter the Academy for Summoners where children of all ages could be found. As long as they were Summoners and passed the application test, everyone could enter the Academies for Summoners.
Many expected Nial to enter one of these Academies soon because he had already summoned his first Familiar, but he first entered a kindergarten in the outskirts of the capital.
He would stay a few hours a day in the kindergarten, trying to befriend his peers, and learning more about society, his responsibilities, and other things through simple observation before his studying would continue once he reached home.
\'Is every four-year-old as busy as I am? No, that cannot be. The others can hardly speak properly, they cannot read, and forget about writing. Their Mana Core area is also sealed and they don\'t have a Familiar yet either, obviously…Is that how my life will continue as Crown Prince?\'
Nial was not sure what others around his age did, but he knew that neither nobles nor commoners at his age could read or write. Most of them were not even able to speak eloquently and effortlessly.
What were they doing all day, Nial wondered.
At the end of the day, Nial didn\'t know. He felt a little lonely surrounded by a bunch of kids. Somehow, it felt like he didn\'t truly belong to them.
It was almost as if he was much older than them.
