It was the day of my birthday. A ball was thrown for me by the Royal family in recognition of my debut to the Nobels.

The curtains were pulled open to reveal my splendid self dressed in a black suit. Surprisingly, there were normal clothing that belong to the 21 century of planet earth. I pulled my blond hair backwards and smirked as waltz down the beautiful golden  stairs, twirling my cane along the way .

"His highness will say a few words." The guard next to me announce.

'No shit.' I sighed. Literally everything I say and do have to be announce before hand.

"Greetings. My name is Astria De Stella. 3rd born child to the Royal family. It's a pleasure to meet your acquaintance." I said swiftly while eying the food layout near the stairs.

"Dear lord..." A Nobel murmured. Followed by a wave of comments.

"He look like a reincarnation of the first King."
"Beautiful!"
"How clever!"
"He is the splitting image of THE Grand Mage!"

The Nobles and aristocrats begun talking among themselves.
"Your highness!" Some of the Nobles even started calling out to me.

'Peasents what gave them the right.'

"We wish to join your faction." One announced.

A/n :Faction : A small organized dissenting group within a larger one, especially in politics.

'Ho...'I smirked. Factions are used to determine the future King. I have no means to become King. However it would prove to be useful in situations where I find myself in peril and desperate need for help.

"Settle down. I accept any heed to join my faction. But I have to lay down some rules." I threw my cane in the air before catching it. I projected  magic contracts in front of each and every Nobel.

Rule 1: No betraying, traitorous act against me nor my kingdom. Rule 2:I shall not be tied down by any obligations. Rule 3: Please do not go through extreme length to please me. You might hurt yourself. "

Those who noticed or didn't notice the underlying meaning of my words were both impressed.

They had come to this party to take a look at the second Prince and whether it will be worth their time or not to join the faction.
" Oh what splendid mind. "

" Such intelligence and kindness. "

I scoffed at that.

All of the people attending the party today join my faction by signing the contract. That's about 300.

I briefly glanced at my family to see their reaction. As expected there were none.
" The Prince will now have his first dance." The guard once again announce.

"Mother, may I have this pleasure?" I reached out my hand to my mother who was sitting by my father's side.

"Of course my beloved child."

I dragged her to the middle of the dance floor. My hand held her hand and we twirled around on the dance floor. "My... I didn't knew what a great dancer you are."

"There's many things to find out about me and such little time." I muttered. I didn't know if she heard me clearly or not in the mist of the music but she gave a hum in acknowledgement.

After a round or two, I return mother to her position next to father. I reach out my hand to my sister. A calculating look was return to me as I smiled.

"It's a pleasure to meet you at last my beautiful sister." She blush. "A pleasure indeed." I smiled further.

She gave a shy smile, "Thank you."

After a round I return her to her position and stood next to father.

"Happy birthday my son." He said.

"Thank you father." 'Though it seems do not care to show your face for 2 years of my damn life.' Was left unsaid.

His face turn to me as he gestured to me and Charles to look at him .

"Look around you." He said. I did as he says and took in what lies before me.

"One day, one of you will take over the Kingdom . You both were born to be Kings. But only one shall be."

"Father, what about me." Lulubella my sister asked.

"It is not as though you are not allowed to be Queen. Boys are preferable rulers afterall. However you may try. There had been a few female Queens in the kingdom before."

A smile lit on her face. "Than I shall."

"Compete fairly for the throne." Father said.

As we all acknowledge with a yes.
