ARTHUR LEYWIN'S POV:
"Kyaaaaaa!"
I unleashed the {Static Void}, and color flooded back into the world. The queen appeared to be the first to notice Sebastian, letting out a scream of horror. It was as if everyone else also realized Sebastian's condition at the same time, as he lay unconscious on the ground with one leg bent inward. Their faces went pale as panic ensued. Mom, Aunt Tabitha, and Queen Priscilla covered the kids' eyes.
After some time, the king regained his composure and ordered the guards to take Sebastian to the nearby healers. He then excused himself and his family. As for us, along with Twin Horns and Helstea's family, we also returned home. Dad and Uncle Vincent stayed to deal with the matter.
Later that night, after the unexpected incident, a representative arrived on behalf of the king to apologize for the disruption and offer compensation. Despite initial reluctance from my father, I accepted the compensation to prevent further escalation of the situation. We ultimately resolved the matter amicably.
According to my mother, the Twin Horns were waiting at a nearby Inn. My father told me that we'd head out there tomorrow for breakfast, and would discuss me being an adventurer with them. I nodded at this and went back into my room. My birthday was in less than two weeks. I'd finally be able to make my first mark here in this world.
As I sunk back down in my bed, I stared at the palms of my hands, idly thinking about the events from earlier. This was the first time I'd used Sylvia's Draconic Will. These past years that I had spent studying Sylvie's will, before assimilating it into my body and practicing it for four months, had caused me to sigh in wonder at just how powerful Sylvia was.
I was just tapping into the ocean that was Sylvia's powers. Unlike Grandpa Virion, who could only get a speed boost and blend into his surroundings, being a legacy tamer allowed me to access a lot more of Sylvia's powers at stage one.
Returning to my room, I unwrapped the package that Vincent had left beside my bed, only to see a completely white mask that was able to cover my entire face. It was a simple mask, with two sharp eye slits that curved upwards; it reminded me of a fox's eyes. There was no nose or mouth hole; just a singular blue streak that ran straight down the left side of the mask, through the left eye slit.
I tried the mask on, which somehow stuck to my face without the need for a strap. I also tried on the midnight blue coat, which turned out to be a little long. After strapping on the coat, it suddenly shrunk to fit my body perfectly.
I couldn't help but be embarrassed; I felt like some sort of wannabe assassin or vigilante.
"Ahh, ahh. Testing. Testing. " The tone of my voice surprised me. It sounded completely different. My immature, high-pitched voice had become a rich, baritone.
"Kuu?" Sylvie just looked at me curiously, causing me to laugh and take off my getup.
"Aren't you excited? Don't you want to get a little bit of action as well, Sylv?" I patted her head, as my head swam with images of being an adventurer.

My Birthday came, Uncle Vincent wanted to have a big celebration with guests invited, but I refused I didn't want a large party but rather a small one with only my family and friends. So He decided to have a luxurious all-out party with just family members.
Everyone enjoyed the party and Twins Horns took turns sharing stories of their adventure, Adam was trying to humiliate everyone by sharing their embarrassing stories when unexpectedly Jasmine coolly told how Adam was taking a piss in a dungeon when a horned mole snuck up on him and Adam ended up peeing on himself like a fountain. This made everyone laugh even I ended up spitting the food in my mouth.
