It has been almost 2 months since he was borned, and he has already started crawling, although he is still slow.
On a morning while his parents were busy, he was doing his morning crawl.
After crawling for a while, exhaustion hits him, and he stops near a sofa, taking support, then lays on his belly to get a rest. After panting a few times he rolled up, ready to crawl again. 'They Don't know me son'
Then he sees Cedric, who had a pink card in his hand, a grin on his face, he looked to be in a rush, didn't even looked at Ray. Ray stops In Front of the room door where Baron had entered. 'No way… did he receive a love letter? Even I didn't get any love letter after my marriage, he doesn't even looks as good as me,'
'well that's a different story that I barely looked at the mirror'
"Lessi" Ray then got behind the door, ready to peek inside. But the next second Baron rushed out, with a wider grin. 'No way, how can he get convinced from such a short letter,' Ray keeps looking as his father runs to another room.
"Is he going to give her the divorce paper?, but the most concerning part here is… Who will take me? I want to go with that dude but who's gonna listen to me?' In another second he comes back with the baroness. His face was bright just like before while she seemed to be upset or irritated.
'No way. She agreed for the divorce? Is she –' Before Ray could use his brain any further Cedric lifts him up.
Thank god he couldn't use his brain any further.
"we are going to the capital city my son, or should I say the prophecy hero?"
".....wat"
"A prophecy had made that a hero had been born in this year, and in this year only 5 children had been born in all nobel families, but only 2 of them could be hero, you know why? Cuz the rest are girls"
Ray looks at him with a straight face. Not knowing what to think.
"They three would have gotten the chance if they had said a heroine had born,"
Cedric turns to his wife, who was not so happy with the news. "Honey, why are you in a bad mood? It will just make our son's life better wouldn't it"
"No it wouldn't" she says, snatching away her child. "My son won't risk his life to save strangers" She says, squeezing him.
Ray, stuck between his mother's hand and her chest was also stuck in a thought. 'Why didn't that writer bastard tell me this earlier? wait…. I know he isn't a good author, it must be some kind of plot hole…. that bastard,' Ray thought grinding his gingiva.
His eyes then widened with a thought. 'Wait, it is better for me this way, I can get a lot of help from the king,' then his eyes narrowed. 'but I have to watch out against them,'
Next morning Ray was excited to see the capital city. He was barely able to sleep, and was waiting for the morning all the time.
"Common let's go, I will be holding you the whole day, have to protect you from all the witches." She says, kissing him on his forehead.
Seina puts her foot outside, Ray, for the first time in his life going outside of his home, the air of nature brushes past him, just like how it did to Thomas back on soccer field.
He takes a deep breath. 'the pollution is less than that of earth, does they don't have cars? Are we going to go on a carriage from here?'
He was scanning around, then his gaze fell on something strange. It was cubic, white colour, curved corners, and a rectangle shape of black in centre.
Ray then focuses and sees a metal, on the right side of the rectangle. 'is that… is that a door? Is that a vehicle?
Then he lowered his gaze, expecting to see tires. But there wasn't any, he then lifted his head, hoping to see a fan. It didn't have anything attached to it, just a cube. 'perhaps it isn't a vehicle' Ray thinks as he glances around, hoping to see anything else.
But then he realised that they were going exactly in that direction. 'may be a teleportation machine of some sort, yeah, that makes sense… fantasy'
Ray turns his head towards the new vehicle. "Kooo"
Ray's eyes widened as he heard the voice again. 'oh no, he's back again, the world was good without him' he thought with narrowed eyes.
'nothing, I was just wondering, how many types of vehicles are there in this world'
'can it turn potato into tomato ' Ray was immersed in the conversation, looking at the direction from where he was getting writer's presence from.
'like what?'
Ray gritted his gingiva, with narrowed eyes, "Vagin, poo, singe, fewue, mistei ov Yoo fadeer"
Ray realises that he can't feel outer's presence, it has either vanished or transfered to another place. But he does feel something strange. He focuses ahead and his gaze meets a man in his 30's.
'oh shit, did he understand what I said?' Both of them stared at each other with terror in their faces.
'He surely is not the hero, and even a demon,' The man thought, sweat coming down his cheeks, and gulped.
'*VAJIN, PO, SENGA, FEWA, MISTA OV O FADRA*, those are… those are the names of demon kings. There had a been a legend that if the demon king says all his previous names and then says his current name, he would get to his original form,'
The man stares at the child, as another thought comes into his head. 'Should I try it?... You definitely should, yeah,' he narrowed his eyes, took a deep breath, and finally parted his lips.
"Hey young boy, what is your name?"
Ray answered with a straight face, "Lay,"
The man gulped, parted his mouth, and said in a sharp and slow tone, "Laiyah,"
"Wat?"
"No, nothing, enjoy the view of the outside," said the man with a smile.
Ray took a deep breath seeing the man smile, thinking he might be just staring, because he was so cute, maybe afraid that Ray might steal his daughters?
Ray then realised that they are already inside, he looked out and saw trees far below them, 'It really was a flying vehicle huh?'
'I was wrong, the legend was wrong, I must inform the master, and the king that the demon king had reincarnated as a nobel.'
That definitely sounds like a web novel.
….
Ray had been watching the beautiful view of the capital city from the sky, but they were way above for him to clearly see the ground.
As the vailyn stops, Seina holds Ray's face with both of her hands, as she looks at him with a gentle gaze. "Ray, listen, there will be a lot of pretty girls, but you must stay away from them, pretty girls who look pretty are bad people, okay?"
Thomas responds with a quick nod. "Hmm hmm,"
"They might try to touch you, but if they even think about kissing you or show their daughter to you, you must cry as loud as possible and cling back to me, alright?"
"Hmm hmm" he nods again.
Cedric looks at mom and son with a straight face, 'I fear my son might die single'
