three weeks had passed since st time. in all that time nothing interesting occurred to me, it seems this world cks any excitement for the time being. though it seems today is different. father has arranged a.. pydate?! and apparently its with some rivaling nation so this complicates things even more.. right now im being changed into elegant clothing like st time. in the meantime ill just have to try and gather more information.

  half an hour passed as im now seated in a baby chair.. though calling it a baby chair is an understatement. this is made of marble and ruby's. i now hear the sounds of chattering outside the rooms door, as the voices pause i now see the rge doors of my chambers swing wide open. my father a man and 4 maids walk in, as time passes i come to know the man's name which is "Adrian" and he had brought his baby daughter who is apparently 9 days younger than me with him. as i now try to overhear their conversation

  D: ' what a surprise and pleasure to see the emperor of the Derann Empire here, im gd to know your healthy and doing well ' my father said in a passive aggressive and sarcastic tone, its obvious he doesn't like Adrian.

  A: ' the pleasures all mine! to be greeted and welcomed by the enlightened emperor of the great Desarin Empire, truly i am gd to receive your welcome ' his tone is ced in mockery and sarcasm, i can already tell how their dynamic is.

  A: ' now about the reason i came here. i brought my beautiful daughter Amelia to py with.. your son ' he snarled as he looked at me, i can tell he was forced to arrange this pydate. just you wait you old sack.

  D: ' im gd to see your wife and the pope convinced you to arrange this pydate ' fathers tone is mocking, i can already feel the sadistic joy inside him.

  Adrian could only growl under his breath. he had nothing to say.

  D: ' well, lets leave the children and have a nice conversation while we walk together. im sure they will enjoy their time together ' father was grinning the whole time he spoke, what an absolute sadist.

  Adrian reluctantly gave his daughter to one of the four maids he walked in with, she immediately pced her on a simiir baby chair to mine and put it directly infront of mine.

  Father and Adrian left together as they kept going with their passive aggressive conversation, i can still feel the heat of their conversation in the air. now i am surrounded by maids and a baby infront of me, how fun..

  as time passed by the only interactions were among the maids though they already isoted each other in groups, mainly which side favoured which baby.. are these women really adults let alone caretakers?!?

  the situation is heated, i cant believe it had gotten to this point. the maids are now apparently pying some sort of military like game with Me and Amelia being the leaders or generals, i cant even describe how this feels.

  as i got bored of watching the maids bicker and fight i just watched the baby infront of me, Amelia. she is as clueless as a baby, she's just babbling and sucking her thumb.. god, why did you do this to me. atleast find a way to make me enjoy this.

  as i sulked i noticed Amelia crying, it seems she's hungry. but thats not whats important, what is is that now the maids found another topic to bicker about.. "who's the better baby"

  ill bel the maids on Amelia's side as AM, and the maids on my side as AW

  AW: ' Amelia cries all the time, unlike William! he knew how to signal for food since he was only a day old. he never cried. and he was never a bother to anyone! '

  AM: ' atleast Amelia can express emotions, i can already tell how heartless that William is! look at him ' what the hell did i do?!

  AM: ' our Amelia can atleast express many emotions and her expressions arent bnd and she even looks cuter than William! shes an angel compared to him ' she snarled at me.. WHAT IN GODS NAME DID I DO TO YOU!!!

  AW: ' William is handsome! he can express emotions too but his way doesnt annoy everyone around him. Amelia finds anyway she can to bother everyone just listen to her crying, its as ugly as her ' why in the deepest parts of HELL are you insulting baby's, both of you are NUISANCES!!!

  they kept bickering and fighting as i had to deal with it, my mental health can not withstand all this someone please help me.

  hours passed as me and Amelia's fathers both arrived, Adrian took his daughter Amelia and left with the 4 maids. my father decided to ask if anything important happened but of course the maids didn't mention the important "CONVERSATION" they had with the maids of Amelia.

  months passed as Amelia would start visiting often as she was always escorted by a high ranking noble from the Derann empire. dont these guys have better things to do then be babysitters?? anyways in all that time i had learned more about the aristocratic traditions of this world and more about the Derann Empire and my nation the Desarin Empire. in short the information i know is about the hierarchy systems, royalty at the top then nobility then knights after them is citizenry and at the bottom are peasants and serfs.

  another important information i realised about this world is that it doesn't have any ideology simiir to democracy nor liberalism. yet somehow it has the concept of communism or atleast a more royal or monarchist based version of it

  the way i see it i might just try and introduce democracy and the industrial age to this world seeing as its still in its pre-industrial period, unlike anyone else in my shoes i actually have ambitions. though i still wanna see a map of this world just to know what im working with.

  in the meantime i was also able to catch up on what type of storys are told to baby's in this world, and it is NOT for baby's.. why are these people telling storys about murder genocide and death, where is red riding hood or the ugly duckling.

  other than those things i had no real productivity except watching the maids bicker and fight, somehow they invent new things for them to fight over and i cant even deal with this anymore, may god heal their souls. seeing as there isnt anything else to talk about i guess i can start mentioning the culinary of this world, its impressive and what makes it like that is the quality of the meat and spices, absolutely delicious.

  i just now remembered an important aspect to this world that i can definitely not miss out on, magic! or as its called, Mana. and what i now know of it is as follows. each person has a Mana Capacity since birth, it can be increased though through very risky and otherwise hard means. this mana can be maniputed to create elements though to use it you need whats called "Affinity" towards that certain Mana/Magic, Affinity isn't something you can earn or gain it can only be given at birth or in very VERY minor chances through spirits and mainly high ranking ones.

  the main type of Mana is the Elemental one which is seen as the basic sort, its the common Wind, Water, Ground, Fire, and even Nature. of course there are other categories of Mana i'd like to pick up on but it seems that something important is happening which is.. baptism?!

  it seems the pope has called in all the children of the nobility and royalty to the cathedral of St.Hollen. my father being a fully dedicated believer of the church immediately took me to the cathedral before any other child. as i was seated in the front row bench on my Mothers p father had decided to go talk with the pope, Adrian of course wanted to one-up father and did the same.

  Adrians Wife, Christina and her baby daughter Amelia came over and sat next to me and my Mother, Helen.

  C: ' im so gd to see you Helen, how have you been since the st banquet? ' she asked happily

  H: ' im doing great thank you for asking christina, i see you and adrian are fit for eachother like i thought in the past ' my mother gave a warm smile

  C: ' oh your too much ' she gently nudged her shoulder with Helens

  as they talked i just locked eyes with Amelia who is still cluelessly sucking her thumb.. god.. why?

  as the cathedral kept getting filled and crowded with people a third woman joined in with my Mother and Christina

  H: ' ah! Kamelia how are you! ' my mother wrapped her arms on Kamelias neck and hugged her

  K: ' alright thats enough you airhead ' she pyfully pushed Helen away

  C: ' is that baby Anastasia with you? ' Christina chimed in

  K: ' yea shes daddys little girl apparently ' she pyfully said

  C: ' tell me about it, Amelias father spoils her too much '

  i could feel my mother silently trying to have this topic get brushed off

  C: ' someone here has a mommys boy and wont share him with us ' i could feel the intense gre she gave to my Mother

  C: ' come on~ share him with us Helen, i was hoping for a boy myself! '

  K: ' you can count me in as well, especially when im hearing all the rumors about your son '

  H: ' a-alright guys, theres only enough of him for me ' as she said that both women lunged at her trying to grab me, SOMEONE HELP!!!

  as their wives bickered and talked with eachother the Husband's were busy having their own "happy" reunion

  D: ' looks like you finally came Mikhail ' Father said with a sarcastic tone

  A: ' yea, it took you a very short time ' why is the sarcasm increasing even more??

  M: ' alright alright i know i havent been seeing you guys often, but i have been busy with a lot of stuff ' someone who can finally feel the sarcasm

  A: ' busy with managing mostly uninhabited nd?? '

  M: ' no managing a family, you guys definitely have not been doing the same i could tell '

  A: ' hey! i give a lot of attention to my daughter and wife, but i cant say the same for someone! ' definitely not pointing at my Father

  D: ' unlike you guys i need to deal with actually important political stuff i cant make room for family, they can manage fine without me '

  M: ' how cruel.. i expected more from the churchs so called "hero", cant even give any attention to his wife let alone son. and says his son is bound for greatness.. ' he snarled at my father, finally someone that shows sensibility

  D: ' alright thats enough, i wont deal with you guys like this ' Father turned his attention back to the pope

  P: ' alright we shall commence the baptism ceremony now! ' the Pope announced loudly to the crowd of nobility and royalty seated

  P: ' i am accompanied here with the three Emperors of the continent! they will be here to show this continents commitment to faith, god, and the church! ' the crowd cheered and cpped as the pope now called up the children in order, starting with..

  P: ' i will be baptizing the child of the hero emperor, William! ' i heard the loud cheering as my mother carried me to the pope and walked up the dais, i was now handed to the pope who had sunk me in the water, i was held there and drowned for a couple seconds before being pulled out, i wasnt effected much to cry or show any spite or anger but the pope somehow made a way to sweeten things

  P: ' truly this child is sent from god! no tear shed and no noise made, you can tell greatness will come to the Desarin Empire through this child! ' he proudly procimed as i was now handed by to my mother after being wrapped in what is called "holy cloth", i wont even ask how much it costed

  P: ' next we have the daughter of the Darinn Emperor, Amelia! ' Amelia was brought up to the pope who soon baptized her, after her baptism she had cried for a long period of time, yet she turned silent after hearing the hums of her mother

  P: ' she is truly an angel! her looks and her soul are the brightest ive seen! ' cheers were now heared across the cathedral again before the pope silenced them

  P: ' next up we have the daughter of the Kurissian Empire, Anastasia! ' Anastasia was brought up to the pope and he'd done the same thing as with Amelia, unlike Amelia her cries were quiet, she still looked reserved for a baby who was just drowned

  P: ' this child! she will become a spite from god in the future! her fate is sealed by gods will! ' the crowd was silent.. everyone feared those words, mainly the spite from god part, it was an awkward silence and it was cold..

  P: ' this is not to say that gods pn is bad! there will come disbelievers and those who go against god, only true believers and those who are exalted by god will thrive and witness it and not become a victim of it! ' this clear up finally ended the silence and pause as the crowds cheered, yelling out "God is Merciful!" countless times

  i decided to go to sleep during all this, i couldn't bare waiting hours for nothing. as i drifted asleep in the blink of an eye i woke up in my crib and my chambers, it was still night time and my crib was being rocked. i simply fell back asleep not caring to continue through the night.
