The family of Grand Duke Arden of the Rhodes Empire have three sons.
Ten-year-old Dmitri Arden, five-year-old Kylus Arden, and newborn Rayleigh Arden.
Today marks the birthday of Kylus, the second son.
In the empire, there are often individuals born with mana.
He was the nephew of the Emperor and the son of Cassius Arden, who was endowed with formidable mana; therefore, it was natural to expect mana in him.
Both Father and Brother have great abilities! What about my ability!
Kylus felt his heart racing rapidly.
Children can validate their abilities at five years of age.
So for Kylus, today was the day.
Usually, the maid would have to wake him up for a long time, but he somehow already opened his eyes today.
Kylus, who jumped out of bed with bright eyes, opened his palms.
"What ability? What is it!"
He put strength on his palms with anticipation.
Close my eyes as Father told me.
Focus on my palms.
He took a deep breath...
Whoosh.
It was instantaneous, but the fire was massive.
The maid, who opened the door with water for him to wash, was startled to see Kylus checking his ability.
"Oh my, Young Master!"
"Wahahaha! It's fire! Fire!"
Five-year-old Kylus stepped on the bed excitedly and started hopping.
"Congratulations! You have the same ability as His Grace!"
"I'm going to show it off!"
Kylus got off the bed and came out of the room in his pyjamas.
The door to the bedroom where his parents are slammed open.
'No one's here? Oh, he must be in the study!'
He hastened to his father's study with his little legs.
"Father!"
Kylus swung the door open and proudly called his father.
"What is it?"
Cassius Arden gave a short answer with his eyes fixed on the papers stacked on his desk.
"Look at this! I have my ability, too!"
So, as before, he placed force in his palms and closed his eyes. Soon, another large flame burned in the palms of his hands and later withered.
The Grand Duke, who had looked through the documents, lifted his head and looked at his son.
"How was it?! Come on!"
"Yeah. I saw it. That's great."
"I have the same ability as Father!"
Kylus rushed to the Grand Duke with sparkling eyes as though he wanted to be praised.
Then the Grand Duke's aide, Rupel, rushed towards him with an urgent look.
"Your Grace...! Your wife... That, the child from the other day..."
Whether it was something young Kylus should hear or not, Rupel looked at him and scrambled the end of his speech.
Then Grand Duke Cassius rose from his seat.
