Early in the morning where the sun had just risen the castle was now wide awake as everyone who worked in the palace are up early to do their delegated tasks.

The maids and butlers were cleaning and doing the other household chores while the kitchen hustled around to prepare the royal family's morning meal.

The newly recruit knights were early in training while the others did their rounds and were guarding their stations.

Life is going smoothly for those inside the castle as it is just a normal day and a normal routine but today one head of blond hair in particular jumped out of his bed filled with energy.

He quickly fixed himself and dressed in comfortable clothing while trying to tame his hair, the young man then looked at himself in the mirror seeing if there was anything he missed. Vermilion red eyes twinkled as he eyes his frame.

At ten years old he was a little taller than the rest of the kids his age but that's probably because of his father's genetics, his blond hair was slightly long as it reached just above his shoulders with a cut similar to his mother's.

As he finished preparing himself a maid entered the young man's room but as she did he ran past through her in a hurry.

"Prince Christopher!" The maid shouted after the young prince but it reached no ears as he was already running far away from his room.

Christopher ran through the staff of the castle with a big smile on his face, the staff in return just smiled at their young prince who was no doubt excited for today.

As Christopher ran he neared the castle's garden where two figures seemed to be sitting on a small table waiting for him, one had pink hair and the other had the same hair of blond as his.

"Mom! Dad!" He called as he ran towards them.

The two figures turned to his direction, both with a smile on their faces.

The queen, Nina, stood up and opened her arms, seeing this Christopher jumped towards his mother's arms and smiled up at her.

'Are you ready for today, Christoph?' His mother asked by showing him a note.

"Yeah! I'm excited to finally learn sword fighting from dad!" He smiled as he saw his father stand up.

The king, Charioce Chris, stood up with a smile on his face. He petted Christopher's head and gave him a wooden sword in which the young prince took and readied his stance.

"I've been practicing with Kaisar but he told me dad was super good with swords and it would be better to learn from him."

"Then you should already know the basics." Chris replied as he also readied his stance.

"Yeah, even Favaro gave me a few tips while he was here and I'm excited to show you dad!"

Christopher then saw his mother raise a brow at him with a small chuckle and this in turn made the young man blush in slight embarrassment.

"Uh, what I meant to say was... well..."

"It's alright, Christoph." Chris smiled while Christopher grinned.

He already knew the story of how his father lost his sight while his mother lost her voice, he had heard from Favaro and Kaisar how brave his parents were during the fight with Bahamut and even though they were disabled they were still hands on with raising him.
