-START-

The mansion was burning. The fire was glowing as it engulfed the whole mansion. People running here and there it was quite a noisy scene.

There was a boy who stood with tears running down his cheeks and yet he had a stoic face. The face his mother taught him to keep at all times even if he was dying. If she saw him now she would be proud and give the small boy a pat on the head.

The boy who was staring at the burning mansion now looked down. What else could he ever do? He was just a 4 year small boy who didn't have any power.

Soon the fire calmed down and it was sunrise. He looked around only to see weeping faces as they were crying for the loss of their family , lover , friends. It was quite a sight for the apathetic boy who had never seen anyone crying. Ah! so this is sadness. Is all the 4- year old could think of.

***********

The scene had changed into a graveyard. Some nobles were genuinely greiving for the death of Duchess while some nobles were happy but putting up a sad face.

The boy could tell that these people weren't sad in the slightest. But the boy couldn't feel anything. As he was Apathetic.

He just stood there unmoving staring at the grave. His mother's corpse was burnt and nothing was left of it so they just digged up a grave.....

"Hey!!" He heard a shout but he didn't move he just stared at his mother's grave not caring about his surroundings in the slightest. He was protected by powerful knights so he won't be killed.

He glanced at the man who just passed him was know on his knees the man's back facing the boy. The boy could see the man's golden hair as it shown in the sun. It wasn't raining in the slightest it was bright and warm just like his mother.

He walked upto the man and stood beside him. The red haired guard flinched a little as he didn't hear the boy's footsteps. "Who are you?" Is all the boy asked to the man. No one was crying for his mother not even the servants as they were greiving for their own family members. And as he was made Apathetic he couldn't cry. So who was this man that had tears rolling down his face.

"Who are you?" The man asked. "I don't have a name my mother said my father will give me a name when we meet." The boy replied. "Who was she to you?" "My beloved mother."

The red haired knight stood in shock with his mouth agape. The blond man stared at the child as if analysing him. "You are atria's child." The boy just nodded in affirmation. The blonde stood up and finally introduced himself. "My name is Claude De Alger Obelia my SON" The boy looked at the man the atmosphere had gotten heavy and the red haired knight sweat dropped at this. "Give me a name" Claude continued to stare at the boy without breaking eye contact.

After a few minutes of thinking Claude decided on a name- "you're name will be Vasileios De Alger Obelia." 'vasileios means king and royal in other words i am the crown prince' The boy who was now known as Vasileios bowed down, "Thank you your majesty for giving me such a wonderful name. I will make sure to treasure it."

******************

Vasileios woke up in the  morning his white hair shining as the sunlight fell on his face. The butler had opened the curtains and a fresh scent of flowers and morning dew filled the room. It was an amazing room a room that was meant for royalty and the boy was royalty.

Vasileios was getting ready with the help of his butler who was helping Vasileios wear his clothes. They heard a knock on the door, "come in" he saw a red haired knight coming in with a cheerful face. The butler bowed down to the knight and left so that they won't be interrupted. "Your highness his majesty has called you to have tea with him." The boy just nodded at this and followed the the red haired knight.

Vasileios was wearing a royal clothes (shown in the above picture). Soon they reached their destination which was calude's office. Vasileios looked around his father's office it would be boring for any 4-year-old but to him who was a adult on inside it was nice he like it to say the least.

Claude was staring at his son who was looking through the office. He didn't mind that his son didn't greet him and there's no need for that either. After all they are father and son there's no need for honourifics between them.

"If you want that book just have it no need to stare at it so much." Vasileios looked at Claude even tho his face was stoic his eyes were bright with happiness. 'they look alike he's just like you Tia my love' Claude thought closing his eyes reminiscing in the old memories with his love.

Vasileios walked up to Claude and tugged at his royal pants making the older look down at the younger. Valude stroked his son's soft white hair and spoke "what's the matter Leo?" "Can you pick me up?" Leo asked. Claude didn't think twice or he didn't think at all and picked up his one and only son in arms and placed him on his lap.

Leo who was now seated on the Emperor's lap. This was the duo's second time having a eye contest.

Then what Leo did was rather unexpected that the red haired knight also known as Felix died of cuteness while Calude stared at his son whose face was redder than a tomato clearly embarrassed of the action he just did.

Let's see in the next chap as to what Leo/Vasileios did
