The Sapphire Prince

Jaro Drake Catharia 1st. I'm born with a crown to inherit, but to a blue family who's infamous because of their strong magical bloodline. I'm still 16 years old. I'm the first prince and son of the Wherena Empire. Since I'm the eldest, I received more attention, far more than my brothers.As royalty. It was essential for me to practice all types of studies. My studies ranged from advanced algebra to high-class political arts. Although mathematics was my least favorite subject, I passed it with an average of 92 according to my valid study reports.When I was young, books always kept me sane, most that I read were involving politics and magical arts. I thought it was interesting at first but it grew mundane trough the years and I eventually lost my interest. I never thought myself as highly or deserving so a bit of anxiety grew I my mind, I thought I didn't deserve to rule inspite of my title.When my three brothers were born, I only paid little time and attention

Jaro's POV I stared outside the premises. The palace showering with huge crowds all with powerful connections and insane amount of wealth. Nobles were present inside the castle and are limited with passes, the commoners celebrated outside. Mother held out a small festival in the names of my coronation.My brothers are getting ready for tonight and so am I. I prepared my gifts for any young noble I can be friends with. Sociabilities has never been easy, but because I'm royal, I force myself to love it. I don't enjoy it but my mother said it's needed. Hopefully I'll have the courage to shove that audacity in my system.After a long, long meeting with the citizens of the royal capital, I was exhausted. Waving and smiling all day with my brothers. Frankly, I think my jaw snapped a muscle. It was the most exhausting day of the year. Our castle stuart held a small banquet present on mother's gardens. I w

Jaro's POV It's been a week after the coronation and since I've been crowned, my work tripled. For the past days, I visited the borderlines of the empire, formed so many pacts with other nobilities and my paperwork has never been high as a mountain.Vello and Nero on the other hand, were hosting tea parties in the palace, totally avoiding their work, but I paid no attention to it. I know my father will find out eventually and by that time, he will call them for their incompetence later in anyway. It was morning and I'm again preparing for another busy day."Lance, What's on the agenda for today?" I asked in a discouraged tone as I massaged my head."Well, not much highness. We just need you to handle some documents, check some proposals then visit a noble house and lastly, We are going to check something in the Catharia's provincial estate," Lance said giving me a copy of the agenda.

Jaro's POV Lance led us to an open duel field, The servants prepared sabers for us to spar with. I only have little experience in enchanted fencing but I'll do my best to preserve an image and avoid embarrassing myself infront of them.I changed to my fencing gear. Prince Valor was excited, his eyes beamed with thrill as he looked at me smiling, He told us earlier that he did not have anyone at his age to fence with. As the host, I couldn't resist any of their request, it would be rude of me and it would leave them uncomforted in the castle.As I picked up the blade, I focused my magic to enhance the stability of my spells. I can also sense Alastair's mana being poured to his saber as well. Lance and the ladies sat on a nearby garden set to watch."I won't go easy on you highness!" He said with a proud smile."Trust me, I hope you won't" I said.We walked on the opposite stages of the battl

Jaro's POV Finally the three of them returned. The three of them were filthy and their hair became a mess. I asked them what happened but they reasoned they fell while looking for something, that's hard to believe considering about how a noble should behave.I took them to my clothing auditorium and offered them any dress they want to use. This auditorium is already packed with clothes I don't want to use...mainly because most of these are old fashioned and not fit for my taste."Choose one from any of these. It will be my thank you present for your company today." I said warmly."...Apart from you Lance." I added."Ehhh? But I'm dirty too!" He childishly complained."Then take a bath." I replied coldly crossing my arms.He pouted and left the room as I let out a soft laugh.Everyone was hardly choosing what to take, Honestly their taste is good...if I were dragged in here I w
