Chapter 3: Wisdom
My name is Kaoru, but naturally, that was the name I used before becoming the emperor. My true name is Carlos (omitted the rest). Do not misunderstand, it is not because I am stingy and do not want to let the world know of my ⓑⓔⓔⓟ—— name, it’s because I’ve been stabbed in the back by two retarded goddesses. Not only did I lose my little brother, I have also been deprived of all my ⓑⓔⓔⓟ——.
Ever since that day, I have lost almost all my life’s joy, unable to ⓑⓔⓔⓟ— my ⓑⓔⓔⓟ— and ⓑⓔⓔⓟ—1. It really makes my heart ache.
I originally thought that nothing else could’ve cheered me up.
However, I found that I was wrong.
Right now, it feels like I have returned to the day when I was thirteen years old. The me at the time was in an extremely arduous situation. During that period, the one who always accompanied me was an old gentleman.
He had once imparted me with meaningful life experiences, “Child, you should know that, the strongest thing in the world are not the swords nor the supernatural beings, is it our desire! It can cause a man to degenerate, make them go crazy, countless heroes to smack the ground in frustration, and many gentlemen to wear unusual hat.”
I have vividly remembered those words, but I didn’t understand what they meant at the time.
But now, at this very moment, I have finally understood.
This wonderful sensation that make men want to stop but can’t. This stifling feeling that can make a man die happy. This… This has already transcended the boundaries of life and death and has reached the highest order of existence.
“Ah… sorry, I was too excited,” mother loosened slightly and liberated me from her breasts.
“Hm? Why is your face so red? Are you sick somewhere? You must tell mommy if you are feeling unwell.”
“Iya~”
No, I’ve never had such a great time before. Never have I ever come across such a beautiful object in all my life. However, I am unable to express this delightful feeling into words.
Mother’s face flushed again when she heard my childish sound.
“So cute, she’s really too cute! Why is my daughter such a cutie~ Makes me want to hug her again. No… nonononono… I need to help her suppress the Dragon Might first.”
Mother used both hands to lift up my face, “Here, good girl, look into mommy’s eyes.”
Mother eyes was like the azure sky, creating a distinct contrast with her fiery hair.
She was looking straight into my eyes. Gold hue began to spread from the center of her pupils and turned her originally azure eyes into golden. It was as though a golden flame was ignited in her eyes.
The golden flame seemed to possess magic power and sucked all my attention towards it.
“Relax your mind and feel your pulse,” mother’s voice resounded in my ears like a distant clock bell.
Thump-thump! Thump-thump! I heard my pulse very clearly. Meanwhile, I could also hear countless pulses from the surrounding.
And the pulse that’s closest to me was oh so familiar yet distinct. It topped over all the other pulses by far. The pulse was reminiscent to the pulse of the world itself.
“Suppress it.”
That powerful voice echoed in my mind, guiding my pulse and returned it to the normal state.
The gold-color in mother’s eyes began to subside, and my awareness slowly returned.
By the time mother’s eyes changed back to sky blue color, I still remained in a daze for a good few seconds. Mother gently caressed my face with a smile and said, “Remember that feeling just now and learn how to control it.”
I nodded my head in a daze.
“Congratulations my queen, the princess has finally been born!”
“Rooooar! This calls for a celebration.”
“My thoughts exactly!”
I was startled by the sudden clamor. It was as though some kind of switch had been flipped, all those dragons who were crouching on the ground earlier began to roar, to shout, and flap their wings. To put it briefly, they feel more excited than me who had just narrowed escaped death.
“Quiet!” Mother commanded.
As expected of mother! Just one word from her and all the huge dragons quietened down. Not even a single noise remained.
“Today marks the birth of my daughter! As such, I shall hold a birth festival for tonight! The altar will be opened and it is there shall we acquire a true name for my daughter!”
“Rooooooar—— Shrieeeeeeek——”
“I shall leave the arrangement to Akarin.”
“Yes!” answered the gray dragon nearby.
True name? Is my true name not Austrian (omitted the rest)?
Does that mean the dragons also have a so-called true name? This is seriously— so cool! No wonder they are the man’s romance! I already can’t wait to find out my draconic true name.
Mother rubbed my head and pampered me, “Just you wait, I will definitely hold the grandest birth festival for you. Before that… hehehe, let me dress you up~”
For some reason, I have a bad premonition. Do not doubt, we… I have sharpened my intuition to the utmost in countless ⓑⓔⓔⓟ— battles. That’s why, I am sure something bad will definitely happen in a short while.
As sudden as it happened, the surrounding scenery abruptly changed. By the time I realized what was going on, I found myself inside a huge cave.
“Don’t be scared, it’s just teleportation magic.”
So that was magic, it was awesome indeed! However, it still felt somewhat lacking compared to the ⓑⓔⓔⓟ— I had mounted before.
When I turned to look towards one side of the cave, my eyes suffered a great blow.
When I broke out from the eggshell just recently, my eyes experienced the change of lighting from dark to light. I didn’t feel any discomfort at that time, but now… my eyes had been blinded by all the dazzle.
Gold! Diamonds! Gems! Crystals! All that are shinies, they have it here. Moreover, you don’t count them one by one, but mountain by mountains! This is literally mountains of treasures! I… cough, cough… this still doesn’t compare to the ⓑⓔⓔⓟ— I once possessed…
However… why do I have the urge to roll and sleep on top of them? Don’t tell me… these things have been enchanted by magic? …That’s right, that must be it! Otherwise, why would I be attracted by these things…
When mother saw my spellbound expression, her lips formed a smile and said, “All of these belong to you from now on. Dragons are creatures who likes shiny things to begin with, so there’s no need for you to suppress your desires.”
So that’s it. Told you I wouldn’t be attracted to these material things with my strong will. It’s all because of my instinct!
“But what I wanted you to see aren’t those things,” mother gently turned my head to the other side.
Once I saw the stuff on the other side of the cave, my originally overheated brain cooled down in an instant. Moreover, I could feel a chill running up from the soles of my feet up to my head.
Those are clothes, lots and lots of clothes, ranging from baby wear to child wear, western dresses to formal attires. I can even see maid clothing among them… Almost half of the entire cave was stuffed full of clothes.
“I bought all these clothes for you ever since twenty years ago. These are all your clothes ranging from birth until ten thousand years old~ How is it? Are you surprised? It’s just a pity that you are already so big immediately after birth, so many clothes cannot be worn anymore… Mhm, you know what? Just forget about it! I can’t wait to personally change you into these clothes one by one… hehehe…”
- Again, that’s how all these sentences appear in the raw, I didn’t censor anything. I have a hard time trying to figure out what all these mean myself…
