Reborn As A Crown Prince

3 Chapter 3

Alexis sighed, it seems like he has to do one last job before he can live a carefree life...

[User, Prepare to Reincarnate!]

"Huh?!" Alexis was confused, a white portal opened up infront of him as he a certain force pushing him into the white portal.

"Whoa! WHOA! SYSTEM! ATLEAST GIVE ME SOME TIME PREPARE!!" He shouted as he floated through a bright white tunnel which twinkled in rainbow lights every once in a while...

-●-●-●-

Alexis felt drained of energy but struggled to look around, everything was shiny and bright so he involuntarily closed his eyes until ofcourse...

*PAK!*

"AHHHHHH!! WHAT THE FUCK?!" Alexis had never cried this much since...

"wait a minute! what the..." Alexis muttered however, for the rest of the people inside the luxurious room all they heard were cute baby noises but Alexis couldn't give a damn about it, everything was too sudden. He didn't even wait inside the womb to be born, Alexis was just pushed out...

-●-●-●-

"AHH!!!" A beautiful woman screamed in pain, she was on the process of giving birth as the midwives helped her...

With one final push, she had successfully given birth to a baby boy whom she knew would succeed to the throne, she has given birth to the future Emperor of her nation!

The midwives congratulated her and cleaned the baby or rather, the prince, carefully.

However, as soon as she received the cleaned baby, the four meter tall majestic wooden doors to her room opened gently... From outside of the door, a man garbed in luxurious robes walked inside with a smile looking at her...

"Your... Imperial... majesty!" The beautiful woman tiredly stated with a gentle smile, she seemed to be in late twenties and had midnight black curly hair, the beads of sweat trailing down her forehead only enhanced her beauty, she held her baby son close to her, not wanting anything to happen to him...

"Annalise, how are you my dear?" A man garbed in luxurious robes hurriedly arrives to his spouse, the mid wives and the guards immediately kneeled respectfully and fearfully, he saw the small baby with a tuft of dark brown hair, he sat down next to his wife who was holding onto his own child!

"He is beautiful... just like you!" the man complimented his wife and child whom he looked at and inwardly felt abit jealous...

Annalise blushed at the comment but still smiled at him, she then gave the baby to him.

The man wore luxurious clothes dyed in purple and made of silk, the clothes were seamed with intricate golden patterns, he had what many would call "an above average" face and had copper brown hair which was a distinctive feature that all Emperors of the Empire had.

Alexander Aurelius Lunar the VI, the Emperor of the world's hegemony, The Grand Lunar Empire, sat down on the king sized bed next to his wife and held the baby given to him...

He smiled at his son and observed his face, Aurelius smiled wryly, he could only hope that his son wouldn't become a lavicious man when he grows up or else the Empire would be in trouble!

Aurelius knew that his son would definitely become a handsome man, more handsome than he could ever be... the only reason he married Annalise was because they were childhood friends, otherwise he would have to marry some random noble woman...

Alexis was sleeping the whole time, he was tired, mentally... he couldn't sleep in the Abyss because there was no sense of time in there and now that he had got the chance, he would definitely take advantage of it!

Aurelius after staring at his son for a while immediately said, "His name will be Alexis, Alexis Gladios Lunar, the Crown prince of the Empire!", he said these words loudly so that everyone could here him, including the spies of his enemies...

Annalise smiled brightly at her child's name.

The guards immediately kneeled once again and shouted in unison, "WE HEAR!", It was a loud cry of acceptance but the Emperor would have none of that!

"YOU FOOLS DARE SHOUT WHILE MY SON IS ASLEEP?!" He roared as the Guards sweatdropped 'Look who's shouting now?' they thought and bowed, it wasn't their fault anyways! Their captain always told them to be loud so... it wasn't their fault right?

"Dear~" Annalise simply said in a calm voice, she was smiling when Aurelius turned to her, his face of Anger immediately became that of terror...

"...yes?" He asked her meekly as the Guards quickly left not wanting to stay in the room any longer but if you look closely, they had smirks on their faces.

'YOU GET WHAT YOU FUCKING DESERVE, YOU STUPID EMPEROR!' They thought and gently closed door...

"You woke Alexis up..." She said as the dark energy surrounded her.

"O-Oh really? I didn't see that Ha-Haha..." the emperor stuttered as Alexis who was woken up from the loud noise rolled his eyes...

Aurelius quickly gave the baby back to her, kissed her and left saying he had work to do...

Annalise blushed but still held her baby and giggled happily, she hugged her child and held him close to her and slept, she was tired after giving birth.

Alexis too felt comfortable in her care and warmth, '...family isn't all that bad...' he thought and went to sleep once again...

//The next day...//

"Aahh" Alexis turned his head away from what was infront him.

He never thought of this situation, "Alexis, no need to be shy, just drink the milk~" she said with a gentle smile and brought Alexis close to her breast again...

'mmm... fuck it, I'm only a baby and I need SUSTENANCE! After all I need to do "that" job...' Baby Alexis huffed and sucked on the teet and drank milk and went back to sleep again.

Annalise who saw him huff, squealed and hugged him tightly... until the maids had to stop her from suffocating the Crown prince...

'I'll show my intelligence once my vocal cords are properly developed to produce complex sounds... until then I'll just walk once i become two months old!' Alexis thought while closing his eyes.

//Two months later...//

One of the maids of the Empress was taking food to the room belonging to the Crown prince, which was also the Empress's room.

She would always stop a few seconds when she enters the palace of the Empress because of how beautiful it always looked...

Today, she was on duty to take some tiffin for the Empress's brunch.

She entered the heavily guarded Palace where the Empress and the Crown prince resided and was followed by two serious looking male guards towards the Room.

Six female guards were infront of the Room and stopped the visitors, they checked her for any suspicious objects and once she was clear, they let her in...

The moment the maid entered the room, she heard cheers from a very soothing and gentle female voice and giggling baby noises.

She then got the shock of her life... a two month old baby was walking towards the Empress who was on the floor...

"YOUR HIGHNESS, PLEASE DO NOT LET THE FLOOR DIRTY YOU!" The maid begged her Empress who smiled at her gently.

"It's not a big deal, I'm only an Empress not a God... I don't mind it!" Annalise said gently to the young maid.

"!! Empress..." the maid mumbled in shock, she who was a commoner thought that nobles were all pompous and arrogant, but the Empress, the second most powerful person in the Empire was such a 'down to Earth' character...

She quickly placed her brunch carefully as a couple of the Empress's Personal maids walked upto her saying she could leave.

The maid then told her friends of the walking prince which somehow went to the ears of the Emperor who immediately left the Imperial Room and brought with him the "Supreme Elder of the Imperial Mage Council"...

They set off to the palace of the Empress who was cluelessly playing with baby Alexis.

-●-●-●-

When they entered the room, they saw the two month old baby walking towards Annalise. She looked at the two intruders with a questioning look...

"Annalise, let him check on our child!" the Emperor said in a voice of authority, Annalise although annoyed nodded her head and gently pulled Alexis up and handed him over to the old man wearing an Amber yellow coloured cloak, half of his face was shadowed by the hood and he had a long snow white beard.

He took hold of Alexis gently with his left hand as his right hand glowed, wisps of this light blue mist came out of his hand as he touched Alexis' forehead with his index finger...

He immediately opened his eyes in shock, his entire back drenched in sweat.

"Uncle Philip, what happened?!" Aurelius asked him in panic.

"This child... he's yours is he not?" the old man asked as Aurelius nodded in confirmation but still clueless.

"...Check his mana" the old man said, Aurelius complied but he was scared... 'Could it be... !?' he thought to himself but decided to send a bit of him Mana and check what was inside his son...

The moment Aurelius sent a bit of Mana inside Alexis, he felt like he was in a small dinghy floating in a raging sea that was disturbed by the most violent storm.

He staggered a bit and turned to the old Mage in surprise...

"Uncle... this... haHAHAHAHA!!" He laughed happily for a while until Annalise grabbed him by the ear and demanded answers.

"Annalise my dear, Alexis here has the biggest reserves of Mana I have ever seen!" Aurelius said seriously while Annalise smiled at her son who slept once again in her warmth...

"The sheer amount is insane! If this child were to be trained properly, he would be the most powerful mage in the world! Your Imperial Highness, the Crown prince must become the Emperor! His potential is absurd but make sure you do not disclose any of the matters what happened here! Otherwise the continent may once again be burnt with the flames of war..." the Old Mage warned his nephew...

Aurelius quickly took the necessary steps to prevent the spread of this new information... He was sure that his, Grand Lunar Empire, could defend against the three strongest countries ranked after it, but now that they have some troublesome allied nations, he was sure that the Empire might collapse...

He would never let that happen! The empire was built a thousand five hundred years ago on the lives of many people who fought for it and scores of Emperors who sacrificed themselves for it, he wouldn't want to be the Emperor who ruined his own country, the pressure and stress was getting into him.

Having a child was definitely not easy, especially when you have one with Mana levels a thousand times more than his own and could start a Great war just by existing...
