Empire of Lumisis
In the Empire of Lumisis, in the castle, there lays a boy whose looks are unmatched, his wavy but messy white hair making his appearance already looking more holy, his right eye being a breath taking blue that reflects the light on the sun while his left eye is a emotionless black, unseen at the night, his long and his white eyelashes giving him a superior look. The boy is quietly reading a book until he stops for a moment then begins speaking:
"Say, Selene... what are archs?" Asked Mel whilst reading the book not even looking at his surroundings until someone cleared their throat and began speaking:
"Excuse me, young master... who are you talking to?" Said a guard who was assigned to keep watch over the young boy since the boy's life was currently the most important thing in all of Lumisis.
"Oh?" The young boy then sat up looking around, seeing no one.
"Oh! She already left?" Asked the young boy, bewildered.
She already left my ass. The young master keeps talking to some imaginary friends of his, he's creepy
"Say, guard."
"Yes, young master?"
"What's up with this whole Arch invasion?"
"Well... archs are strong being who... like... came to conquer the world or something like that, im not really keeping up with the news to be honest."
"I see... so they are villains?"
"Well, yes. They are villains."
"What's a villain and what's a hero?"
"Well, a villain is like someone who does bad stuff and a hero is someone who saves and does good stuff."
"I see... So then, if a kingdom attacks another kingdom for example, that kingdom in seen like a 'hero' by it's people while the other kingdom is seen like a 'villain', right?"
"Well...."
"So it's just a belief, we'll it isn't shocking... no matter the being, they always cared more about themselves that others, there is neither a villain nor hero."
Is this not really a kid? Kids are lively and play but this guy keeps talking about crap.
"But don't worry, I do see the archs as the villains, I'm a being too, my thinking isn't different from others."
"I see...."
"What was your name, guard?"
"My name... u-uh, it's Noah, young master"
The young boy then got up and jumped from his bed stumbling, falling in front of his desk then grabbing a book, showing it off to the guard.
"Say, Noah... do you believe there is a multiverse?"
"... w-what... well... we don't know anything about the universe, but a multiverse."
"Well, you can read this book, it tells you many things"
"... no thank you...."
The young boy looked at the guard with a calm expresion before smilling and crawling up to him
"Why? Come on, it's an order."
This kid... he's so unpredictable, I can't guess what'll make him happy or mad, what he's thinking, or what his next move is. Thought the guard as he grabbed the book and checked the pages.
The young boy then got up and laid back on the bed, with his feet up against the wall.
"I plan to be the one to kill the Arch leader, want to know why my siblings favor me so much? It's because-"

Eldoria
On the two of a tower there sits two persons, each one hiding their presence to not reveal themselves.
"My lord, are you planning to kill the Arch leader?"
"There is not a need for that... beings like himself are weak and unworthy to die at my hands."
"But what if his influence will spread?"
"There is no need to worry about that, archs are pathetic beings who seen themselves as superior, who had never seen actual superior beings. All there is to them is raw strength but raw strength is nothing compared to magic, and besides... it's not any of my bussines, I only came to see if I should exterminate a demon, but now seeing that the leader really is an Arch it has became unrelevant. Well, lets leave, their rough mana disgusts me" Said the being then casted a portal and dissapeared through it

Meanwhile
Inside the castle
The archs kidnapped a girl with a unique aura and immediately took her to their lord, Archon
"Hey! Let go of me!"
"Don't talk in front of Lord Archon!"
As the girl was struggling to escape the grip of the archs, Archon was paying all his attention to her aura ad if nothing else had an existence, his eyes eyed the aura with frustation and desire, needing the mana of the girl and also not believing a mere human could have such fascinating aura.
"... What's your name, girl?"
"Eh? Why do you care about my name you piece of sh-"
"HEY, talking like that to Lord Archon will get you killed you insolent brat!"
"I dont care! Kill me you fuck! Your mama isn't proud of you!"
"WHAT DID YOU SAID?"
"Enough!" Said Ar Hon, his evil aura spreading around the whole castle as he stared at the archs
"I need that girl well, i can't risk her aura getting weaker because she's mistreated, atleast until I find a way to absorb mana, life force even"
"As you wish Lord Archon, what should we do to her?"
"Leave her here, nobody escapes my watch"
With that the guards left leaving the girl standing jn Archon's presence alone but instead of looking scared her attitude got even brattier
"Hey, monster, let go of me, let go, let go, let go, let go, let, go, let, go, let go!"
As the girl kept repeating the same words, Archon was using all his strenght in order to not kill the girl with his immense aura alone

Empire of Lumisis
the guard was currently standing looking down at the ground, his face expressing nothing but fear as the young boy just finished saying the reasons of why his brothers favor him.
The air was thick, so thick even the civilians outside the castle felt something was off.
The only exception was the young boy- as he standed there with a smirk staring at the guard.
"You look like you've seen a ghost... nobody will blame you for fearing but still that's why I do not understand warriors. Talking about all that 'warriors are fearless' crap. Fear is a natural feeling that not even the mightiest escape as even the mightiest shall meet something that'll spark that feeling jn their chest, that'll engulf their soul in the feeling of fear."
"I..."
"Come on, you can't be sure what I said really is weird. I am cute aren't I? Do I look like that kind of person? When someone is in fear their mind gives warnings that everyone is a monster, that's human nature. Warriors is just a term created to portray the strong, but those strong humans have yet to discover what lies out of this world. Beings that mouths can't explain, that eyes can't comprehend and who's souls explode at the mere presence of the gods"
"... where are you getting at?"
"I'm not trying to get at anything, I'm just saying what I think, I'm merely speaking my mind and expressing my opinions. You see I have my own beliefs which are rather unique from Amy other belief humans have"
"You're weird. I'm usually great at predicting how people will react but I can't predict what you will do... every single time you're either acting like a complet child or like some kind of... being that's out of this world"
"Does that scare you?" Said the young boy with a smirk planted on his face as he stared at Noah
"No... I've seen way worse, I'm a warrior and if I have to I'll even prove myself"
"Sure!"
"Eh? 'Sure' what"
"I'll make you prove yourself"
"W-what?"
"You've managed to intrigue me so much that I can't help myself but wonder how big your warrior strength really is- so in order to find out I'll make you fight 10 orcs"
"W-wait! You can't do that!"
"I can totally do that though!"
"What will your siblings think when they'll hear you sended a guard to his death"
"Well you see, my family was raised to think about eachother as the most important thing. Basically they won't care what will happen to you since it was my desire for you to prove yourself"
"I... you're crazy!"
"You're the one who bringed up proving yourself so now you have to stick to your words. Come on, if you survive ill make you my personal knight, I can assure you taht if you do become my personal knight you will get paid as much as nobility"
"Well..."
Not even letting him finish, the young boy ran out of the room towards the training grounds, his decision being the decisive one in the guard's fate
***
Currently in an arena there are 10 orcs waiting for their prey as many people are standing on the stadium with puzzled looks wondering just who is gonna try to defeat them like that.
The leader of the knight's of Lumisis better known as Charis, the blind grace- Charis is one of the strongest warriors to had touched the world as we know it. Even though he's blind, his power and senses never let him down which lead him to become the leader of the knight's of Lumisis, chosen by the oldest of the siblings.
Whilst the whole crowd is cheering for the brave person to step into the arena to face the orcs- Charis is lost in thoughts
What is the young master thinking sending a pitiful guard to his own death?
And just then two person step into the arena. The guard with the young boy following behind him with the smirk still planted on his face
"Welcome people! Today, I, Mel Angelo, the youngest of the siblings had decided to put this brave warrior to the test, to show off his strenght and when he'll win to make him my personal gu-"
The young boy didn't even had to finish before blood sprayed on him, confused he looked to his right seeing the guard's upper body completely missing, not even bones remaining out of it and a mace planted in the wall behind where the guard stood.
"Oh... he's already dead" Said the young boy whilst staring at tgebidy with a confused but calm expresion
Just then a orc began charging towards the young boy. As it seemed like the orc was fonna kill the young boy, it's head and limbs suddlenly got sliced off as beside the orc stands Charis who then kneeled down in front of the young boy
"Young master, you should go back to your room and clean off this blood off you, youre too precious to have a single bit of dirty blood on you" Said Charis as the orcs behind him let out a sudden sound of pain before falling on the ground with their heads sliced off.

"My lord, your younger brother had sended a guard to his own death just around 10 minutes ago"
"I see... why would that concern me?"
"This might lead to negative view towards your younger brother, and seeing someone die in front of him might give him trauma"
"Mel always forgets things he doesn't find important just the next day... it's just a matter of time.before he'll already forget as as for the negative view, the empire knows better than to try to say anything about my brother"
"I see, I'm glad that your as calm and conposer as ever today too, my lord"
"Yeah... did we got the approval?"
"We have yet to get a response but approval"
"I see... make sure to contact me as soon as we get a response"
"Of course, my lord"
Just as oldest sibling and his advisor talked someone interrupted
"Hey, wait a minute, Aelion! In the emperor, I should take part in what you want to do next since it's my empire. You and this chick cant keep deciding everything"
"With you in lead this empire would already be in ruins"
"Y-you!"
"Just shut up and watch your empire rise to heights nobody had ever seen before... as soon as we get approval... the whole region of Valluma shall be ours"
