Chapter 1-3 Living and training with older brothers

Living and training with older brothers
Shou is now 5 year old, he moved out from the inner palace and live in the royal villa with the other prince

….it’s all man..

A chamberlain works for the imperial villa where young princes lives not the court lady.
It was a nostalgic life surrounded by beautiful older sister up until now, remembering that makes Shou want to cry.

“From now on, Shou will live here. Please teach him a lot of thing”

Shou came here with Miya and receive warm welcome from his elder brother.

….it seem there is rivalry between the princes

Since the first prince is 13 years old and that make him the oldest, he will the one taking care of us.

“Shou are you still not able to write?”

It’s ordinary that the prince and the princess who have a mother in the inner palace will study from time to time , and Salim is surprise when he learn about Shou.
The second prince Karin, The third prince Hassan and it’s not that interesting for Shou how his brother Salim is surprised with his condition.

“are you going to take Shou in to your side?”

“it may be vague, but it seem he has compatibility with wind magic”

In the  United Kingdom of southeast islands, Wind magic is useful to manipulate the wind for the sailing. But, the most important thing is not the compatibility of magic wind, but the ability to earn money by trade and exchange, Salim,Karin and Hassan who hoping to became the next king is trying to secure a good skill that may able to help them.

While Nash and Rajikk is unable able to use wind magic but they are pretty much like Shou, just a little brother , while i am the stupid little brother who havent’t able to write, i will acknowledge my brother Salim superiority and will try to learn a lot

“Salim is the first prince, but Hassan and Karin mother are much more higher than his mother. that’s why, it’s a bit tricky with those three. There is no problem with Hassan and Karin, but please be careful with Salim-sama”

….Nash and Rajikk mother’s seem doesn’t have a big position either, i haven’t see their mother in inner palace…

Karin and Hassan seem worked together to fight against Salim, 13 years old against 12 and 10 years old, the age difference maybe one year from the second prince, but it’s still quite big from the third prince

Shou with the 9 years old Nash and 8 years old Rajikk is studying together under military tutor

Aslan is quite surprised when he heard the prince’s progress from Miya

“why he haven’t been taught to write yet?”

Shou’s mother who left the inner palace like Nash and Rajikk mother, there is a doubt even if you teach 5 years old child how to write will be effective.

“Well, i guess if you want the reason, it’s because he will be taught in the Royal villa. From now on Shou will have a lot of hardship in his life. Until 5 years old i want him to have enjoyable life as much possible, that the least i can do”

Aslan have confidence with his most trusted wife, Miya. The problem is he doubt about her calculation regarding Shou.

“Even with the magic of the wind, I will not nominate him for the heir. ”

“Well, then will our Honor Student Salim able to handle the slyness of a big merchant?

He has a lot of pride, it may be impossible for him to handle those man from old empire. Besides Hassan is same as his grandfather and seems to think only profit. Nash and Rajikk is good for a subordinate but they doesn’t have the caliber of the king”

Though princes were criticized, there was not the objection because it’s Aslan opinion.

“if you can find a good first wife for, Salim, Karin and Hassan then there is hope for them,
Woman like Miya is good, the problem is whether they want it or not….wait don’t tell me…Shou is..”

The princess and princes from whom mother left the Inner palace, tend to be spoiled by the court ladies. Nash and Rajikk to often to play with the court lady, but for Shou, he always with five or four woman at once.

“Shou is natural lady killer, even when i hold him, my worries tend to disappear.
Whenever you see his eye, there is this irresistible urge to spoil him”

“Lady killer is fine but it’s useless if he is stupid”

Even Aslan is amazed by Miya behavior around Shou since she is well known to be strict

“Why you always such a rude thing about Shou?”

asked by Miya, Aslan notice that he felt jealous and answer her with smile wryly.

“well it’s because Miya praised Shou that much. He isn’t able to earn one gold coin yet, isn’t that cheating?”

Though he desperately persuaded Miya, but he still get severe scolding by her and told to  love Shou without any feeling of jealousy

“it’s just like when i treat Aslan-sama when he disappear from his duty as a king for a year.How much trouble you make back then, just thinking’s about it makes my head”

Like when Shou’s born and abandoned with only just a letter with that condition, Miya first want to return the latter to Aslan with a bit of sarcasm, but as long as Aslan doesn’t abandon him it’s fine
