Reincarnated: The First of my Kind

Chapter 9: A Fatal Mistake

Chapter 9 | A Fatal Mistake |

It's been a year and a half since I've mastered the Fenrir style and have since moved on to the Orthros style, I was a little bit disappointed when I heard that I was going to be learning Orthros instead of Charybdis, but I guess it is a good warm up before exploring completely uncharted territory, when it comes to fighting that is.

I'm now 4 years old and am about to turn 5 in a couple of months, Mama and Papa have been sneaking around the house for the past month, their whispers have extended to the maids and it is really suspicious. Sometimes when I walk past the maids in the halls they'll stop their talking and whisper to each other, it kinda makes me feel lonely and excluded. I wanna know what they're talking about as well! So I'll follow the maids today!

Today was the day that the maids go shopping, apparently this only happens every decade according to Sylvia. She told me that two trusted maids get selected to go out of the house and tour around for the period of 24 hours, buying exotic foods for us to eat here. But I don't believe that, I think it's all just a cover up for something bigger, but if it is just food then I'm not complaining, I just really want to find out!

"We will meet you here at this time tomorrow, Master, Milday."

"Yes, take care you two."

I peeked from behind the rails that led down the staircase and watched as Jessica and another maid, Carol, bowed to Mama and Papa, but before they left Mama whispered something into Jessica's ear and she nodded as a reply and both of the maids headed out of through the door. Their behavior is quite suspicious, but seeing as this is the first time I've ever witnessed that door open, the first time in my close to 5 years of  living here, they must have been words of caution.

I may seem like I don't know what I'm doing, but trust me, I do. I just snuck out of my room to watch the maids leave and time my own departure to match theirs. I've already told Mama and Papa to leave me alone in my room for a couple of hours to 'Study' so hopefully they keep out of my room while I'm gone.

As soon as Mama and Papa turned around to walk back into the living room I bolted back to my room and closed the door behind me, locking it. My plan was flawless, I would go out through the window and tail Jessica and Carol to see where they are going. The only thing is... I'm not tall enough to reach the latch on the window, let alone climb through it.

"Ahh crap! I totally forgot about my height being an issue! Argh... Wait, don't I have a toy box that I never use?"

I looked around the room, searching for this toy box that I distinctly remember receiving from Papa after I turned 1. Ahh, that brings back some memories, my first birthday also happens to be the time i first experienced eating this worlds cake.

"Ah, there it is."

I walked over to my bed and got on my hands and knees, reaching under the bed and pulling out a large wooden box. It was about the size of a milk crate, which is probably just the right size for me to be able to climb out of the window.

I dragged the box over to the window and propped it up against the wall, I took my first step onto the box and almost lost my balance. H-Hey, this box won't collapse if I stand on it, right? I planted both feet firmly onto the box and made sure that I could balance properly. After making sure that I wouldn't fall, I lifted the latch on my window with ease.

"Success! Whaa- Ahh!'

T-That was close... I almost fell backwards because of my stupid celebration. Now, this may be a struggle... I've never used my arms much in this life besides the times when I'm exercising and training. So I don't know if my arms will be able to lift my entire body up and over the window sill...
