3 All my relatives? (2/2)

Head maid followed us with tears in her eyes, while complaining that this wasn't the proper way to show up at the throne room.

I was with her on that one and started to cry. Letting other people see you carrying your baby UPSIDE DOWN doesn't make you look like a good,

loving parent.

Have some sense mother, please don't go down the path of the mad king!

Fathers name is Nicol of Tirna the 5th,, 26 years old. He is mostly human. I think at least? I have seen him pat one of the guards on the back once.

The guard flew 5 meters, before a wall stopped him. He is still on a sick leave by the way. So I am not all that sure about dad.

Gulp, I am happy he didn't crush me on accident, by now.

I am now called Angrod of Tirna the first, by the way.

Head maid seems to be an elf. Her name is Rose. Nothing out of the ordinary for an elf as far as I can see.

And as for other persons: there are some, but no really important ones as far as I can tell.

I wasn't really introduced to society yet and most of the people I have seen so far were one time faces.

But this world isn't perfect.

Tirna and Stricc were fighting a bitter war over resources and ideology.

There are some rare minerals and crystals directly at the border in the center of the continent.

There is much volcanic activity there. So the whole continent is divided by a mountainrange of volcanoes.

I guess the tectonic plates are colliding there and that leads to much volcanic activity. Like a natural border.

No wonder the nations developed like that.

Tirna needs those minerals for our magic devices, while Stricc uses them for their magic ceremonies to control the weather.

It seems, that without them Stricc would be mostly a desert.

So at some point they started fighting over mining rights and borders.

That was over a hundred years ago and no one remembers or knows who fired the first shot that started the war.

However, it got really messy and they went at each others throats like mad.

Hmmm, I feel for them, seems similar to the circumstances which brought me here.

But in their case, they managed to make peace again, just a month before my birth. By now they are dividing the resources half for each.

But its still dangerous, the cold blood of such a long war doesn't go away over night.

There are also many parties who are very unhappy with the treaty.

By now I am pretty sure, that Seria must have fucked up. Come on, there are places out there which would really be punishment. This here is a joke.

Maybe the last time she checked this realm, they were fighting their war and she didn't bother to check again before tossing my soul to this realm?

A nice life as a prince. Yeah, wouldn't that be nice?

Mother is almost at the end of the hall by now and we are before a big picture with her and father.

Each of them holds a little child in their arms. By the look of it, they are four or five years old. Hey I have siblings?

Why didn't I meet them by now?

”And those are your big sister and brother. They would have been 6 and 7 by now. If they weren't assassinated by some bastard.

But I will never let that happen again little one. If I get my hands on them, they will wish they were never born!” - Mother

”Here. Your Majesty wipe your tears.” - Head Maid

Ow...

I guess I will be quiet for now and not protest for being almost crushed at her chest. I guess that's a good reason for being an overly caring parent.

It would be a good time to stop my inner monologue. I will never complain to mother about her not letting go of me.

Good thing I couldn't talk yet, I would have surely said something that would hurt her.
