Magnus

I locked myself in the room all day yesterday. The words that Father said were touching. Even his decisions when it comes to me, he doesn't even question me. I was like a rebel child to him. I'm really young when it comes to vampires. Compared to mortals, I'm still like a teenager here in the Underworld. The adult age base here is 80 years old. Those who live in the Underworld are immortal, we will not die if we are not killed. No one can kill us but other races.

Vampires also have weaknesses, that is the bite of werewolves. The vampire council has also banned werewolves from approaching our vampires every full moon. Even though we are much stronger than them, their bites are poisonous.

Each race has a council. Vampire council, moon council for werewolves, and magic council for witches. Compared to mortals, the council is like senators. Thinks and makes laws before being approved by the emperors. Emperors are still supreme.

When it comes to witches, their race is brainy. They are good at manipulating spells but they are no match without their spell book. They can also fly.

I was shocked when I heard the shouting of my father and mother. They screamed at the chin. My father did not want me to participate but my mother supported me. My mother is still good, has confidence in my ability.

In front of our castle the tournament will be held later. Women and royals from other kingdoms who will come to watch will surely be waiting for me. They will watch me humiliated like they call the 'king prince worthless. I will prove them wrong. I will give them a shock that they will only feel now. I will prove that I can knock them down. And my secret weapon? My overflowing self-confidence.

I called my servants. They move so slowly that I hesitate to fly them. I'm going to get a new vampire pet. You will be my personal one.

My slaves poured milk into the bathtub. I grinned after it was filled. I let them out before I undressed.

My naked body appeared in front of the magical mirror. The woman who will captivate me is very lucky, but having a romantic partner is not on my mind. That would only hinder my leadership. It's a good thing you don't because nothing will stop me from tasting different princesses with delicious and sweet blood.

I first soaked and bathed in milk. When I was satisfied, I then rinsed and got dressed. I wore slacks and white long-sleeves. Its first two buttons are open. I wore expensive black shoes on my feet. I still have to be a handsome guy while fighting.

I looked into the magic mirror to check my posture. I'm ready for later, I'm sure I won't even break a sweat. I can knock them down easily.

I sat in my swivel chair facing the veranda. My windows are open so I can clearly hear downstairs. The audience was really loud. I don't know why the tournament will be held in front of the castle instead of in the arena. Maybe it's for the participants to think about reducing vandalism. I grinned. My father will try to stop me from joining and I will show him my strength that I used to practice every day. I will destroy his beloved castle.

"The participants who signed up are being called! Enter here on our ground!"

I looked into the magical mirror to examine my posture. I am ready for later, surely I won't even sweat. I'll easily bring them down.

"The rules of the contest are simple. The strongest and the last participant standing will fight against Prince Simone of the Halycon Kingdom. There are witches standing by as the medics of our contest. The winner of this contest will be appointed king of the Verdania Kingdom! Let the last man standing begin!" shouted the announcer.

The audience cheered. Everyone was ecstatic. Just bear with them if they have kids with them. I won't show mercy.

One by one, the participants were called. I didn't know any of them. They seemed to be weak types, probably ordinary citizens or members of authority in our empire. I also heard earlier that Thomas was included. I don't know if that kid will oppose me. He doesn't seem to care about the world yet. All that matters to him is his virtual girlfriend, Meliora.

"Prince Thomas Raine Walker! Spade Compton!" announcement below.

My sibling is also participating. I know they have no intention of becoming king yet. I also have no intention of crushing the bones of that child.
As the announcement was ending, I stood up. Whether I am called or not, I will step down from that competition.

"And lastly, Prince Magnus Lewis Walker!"

When I heard my name, I grinned. From the veranda I jumped down from the height of my room. It was ten stories high that I didn't pay attention to. It's time to prove that I'm strong and worthy to be king.

When I fell to the ground I was covered in sweat. I bent slightly to resist the force of the impact. I also intended to force the fall to break the ground. What a great crack I made. The other participants also retreated out of fear.
When I lifted my gaze, my eyes met those of my father, Emperor Darius. I smiled and adjusted my attire.

"Watch, father."

The audience cheered because of my sudden appearance. They were moved to see me fight. I'll now prove to them the extraordinary natural strength that Prince Magnus, the prince they always look down on, has. I'm sick of being underestimated. A handsome man like me who will be appointed king has no time to be affected by what they say.

I waved to the audience and winked at women. They giggled loudly in response. I grinned, knowing well that my charm never fails with women. After all, I am Prince Maruem.

I looked up at the ascending figure of my father heading towards the noble section. There was Prince Simone, the prince whose arm I cut yesterday. Beside him was Princess Nitara whom I winked at. The weak prince seemed fine again. It seems the sorcerers intervened in what happened to him. He should be thankful that the sorcerers assigned to our kingdom are skilled; otherwise, he would be called the prince of Halycon with a severed arm. He should also be thankful that's all I did to him.
