"As you turn 18, you will be granted a piece of land that will be ruled autonomously by you. Once the Emperor reaches the age of 80 or passes away, the Empire will be inherited by the king who does the best job at ruling their land,"

A man wearing Golden Armour announced to the gathering. This was no ordinary gathering. It was a procession for one of the Emperor's children who was turning 18.

"You will now be granted the title of The King by the Emperor. Do you agree?"

"Yes, I agree," the man with black hair and black eyes said.

Well, yeah, this is me now.

How did I end up here?

Let's go back to this morning.

A boy opened his eyes and was shocked at his surroundings.

Huh?

Where?

Where am I?

He looked around and noticed that this seemed to be some sort of mansion. Standing up he moved to a nearby mirror and was shocked when he looked at the mirror.

Holy shit.

It's nothing different.

He made a sad expression.

Fuck.

I almost thought I transmigrated or something.

I guess I was wrong.

I still look the same.

It's not that I'm dissatisfied with how I look but an upgrade helps.

He ignored it and went towards what seemed like to be a window and to his surprise it was a huge garden.

Damn, this is hu-

His trail of thought was cut off by a woman calling for him.

"Young Lord, Are you awake yet?"

Is she calling out for me?

Yes, yes she is.

I don't know why but I instinctively know that this woman is calling out for me. It is my maid.

Wait, my maid? A servant?

My servant?

Oh yeah, I am a prince.

The boy couldn't fathom what was happening, he asked himself questions and he answered them himself. It was like he consciously didn't know the answers to these questions but his subconscious did.

"Young Lord?" The feminine voice outside asked.

"Yes, I am awake. Prepare a bath for me and let me know when it's done."

"Alright, Young Lord."

Footsteps could be heard walking away from the room.

He took a few seconds to recollect his thoughts and understand what was going on. So it seemed he did end up transmigration into another world.

Interesting...

Taking a walk around the castle, I asked myself questions of what was happening and where I was.
