"Good morning sweetie!", Lily said as she roam her right hand delicately over the groggily waking Arman.
"Momma", he shouts and hug her.
"What happened to your face?",, he asked as her beautiful white face had a cut on her cheeks.
She smiled and replied "Just got a bruise while working love".
She stood up holding him in her arms and almost slipped, her legs shaking in weakness as she was clearly trying to hold tears.
"I will become strong just like the Apostle and then you won't have to endure pain anymore mom I promise!", Arman said in a sincere and cute voice cupping her cut to cover it.
"Do you know why everyone loves Apostle baby?", she asked as she gently placed her left hand over his small hand covering her cut.
"Cause he was strong right!?", he said cutely and looked at her curiously.
"No, people don't like him because he was the strongest", she said softly and looked at him with her kind yet tired eyes.
After a deep breath she continuous "People like him cause he was a good man, A good heart is much more stronger than any power in this mystical world, Do you understand my cute little baby?".
"You're an apostle too momma, you have a good heart!", he said as he planted a small kiss on her cheek his face barely reaching hers and he wobbled like a monkey trying to climb on her.
She smiled and placed him on the floor.
The sunlight coming from the big window illuminates the whole room, it was a small room with a double bed, a small bedside table and a single tall wooden closet.
A big painting of a tall bearded chubby man was on the wall, the man had a ornamented sword and a crown made of jewels and gold.
It was of course the king the same man who takes lily away at night as long as little Arman could remember.
"What are your staring at baby?", she asked curiously as she sat on the small bench against the window.
Lily was a beautiful, tall, white woman in her 40s, she had long silky straight open hair.
Her eyes were deep and kind yet filled with sorrow, she had a weak smile enough to make it clear that her health was not too good.
"Why is there a painting of the fat king and not yours, Uncle Jacq said you were the most beautiful girl in your youth and papa fell for you at first sight", he said bluntly making lily chuckle.
She started ruffling his hair and said "Your curiosity will get you killed someday my dumb kid".
"hey I study at the library daily and uncle Jacq beats fighting skills into me, I also started playing chess with the librarian.", he started blabbering as he tried to climb onto her.
"yeah yeah don't use me as a hill now rock climber", she said playfully and pulled his cheek.
After an hour Arman wearing a cute little dress marched towards the library walking in the castle's corridor.
The castle was huge it was more like a fortress, it was made of thick limestone blocks supported by copper beams and circular columns made of purple mana stone.
The clanging of metal was heard as the knights train in the same dirt ground where Jacq and Arman held their training at night.
As he passed a young noblemen dressed in fluffy robe with golden buttons and a woollen hat with a few diamonds, he bows and say "Good morning sir Yosuke!".
The noblemen frowned and slapped him, Arman stumbled and hit a pillar and shouted "ahh!".
"You lowlife slave, how dare you even take my name?", he said in anger and was about to hit him again when a sword's edge appear near his neck.
His charming face was turned into like a scared kitten as he followed the sword to see Jacq.
"General?", he whimpered.
"Get lost before I make your body into food for scavengers!", Jacq said in a cold and slow voice, the threat and authority was clear.
Yosuke ran away as fast as he could, then the little Arman quietly walked away looking down, trying his bests to hold back his tears.
"I hope his personality won't switch or it will be bad", Jacq muttered to himself in a worried tone.
Arman entered the royal library and the librarian, a old lady with a big smile waved at him.
As she notices the swollen cheek of him she mutters a spell and Arman shined with a slight golden glow and his cheek rapidly healed.
"Thank you lady Sora", he muttered and ran into the grand halls dodging flying books and passing a reading hall as big as a garden.
His eyes turn red and he grabbed a book of fire magic.
His now voice more deep and angry said "This pathetic kid can't even control his emotions".
After a short and devilish laugh he continued "Its gives me control so, I can't complain".
Later that evening, Arman walked towards the royal garden tailing Yosuke with a evil grin, He took out a small sharp rock.
As he raised his hand to stab the nobleman, a pair of hands covered his mouth and eyes.
Slowly Arman started loosing consciousness as he was lifted and taken away, his mind slowly shuts off.
…
The sweet melodious voice of lily was singing a song in a soft and low tone.
"Momma!", Arman said as he rubbed his eyes his face full of confusion.
"You're up baby, Jacq said you slept in the library when he brought you here.", she said.
"I don't remember anything after miss Sora healed me with her magic!", he said and sat up to see it was already night.
"It's okay honey come on eat up your have training with uncle Jacq, mommy has to go to work", she said looking down.
"Don't go tonight please, I feel like someone is trying to make me cry or get angry", he said and hugged her.
Before she could say anything the king barged into the small room and pushed Arman away from her as he drag her out.
He clenched his fists and growled, his eyes turning red as he ran towards the king and bite his arm holding his mother.
"You sick kid", the king groaned and tried to punch him.
Arman more like his other self held his hand and headbutted the king on his stomach.
As the king falls on the ground Arman grabbed his left eye ball and pressed it, the king resisted and kick Arman.
The king screamed loudly as his eye socket start bleeding as his eyeball dropped on the floor.
Arman held a fingernail of the king by his teeth and pulled it out making the king scream.
Royal knights came running at the place and saw the sight of a bloody King and lily holding Arman.
"Take that Kid to the jail and burn this vile woman alive in the middle of the city and call the royal mage", the king shouted in anger and pain.
