The Golden Throne

Chapter 2 - Reborn?

Liu Feng was confused. He struggled to breathe, and tried to shout for help, but it was as if he couldn't speak. He opened his eyes, and all he saw were blurred lights. After a few minutes clarity came back to his world. He saw people gathering near him, but the way they dressed confused him. It was as if they were out of a Shakespeare play. Then when he tried to move, he couldn't. He raised his arm and seeing a baby's arm shocked him.

"What is happening here? A baby's arm? I am a baby now? Maybe I was reincarnated!", Liu Feng realized. Being the quick witted man he is, he quickly came to a conclusion that made sense, no matter how improbable it was.

"This must be God's way of giving me another chance. I can't miss this. I will do many things right.", he thought to himself, just laughing at his good fortunes.

Liu Feng resolved to himself as he understood what had happened. He looked at the people in the room. He saw a woman on the bed from his view, who was looking at him with caring eyes. It was clearly his mother. He was held by his father, Liu Man.

"Haha, Thank you everyone. I am truly fortunate to be blessed with an heir. Give out a reward to the midwife outside. The whole kingdom should rejoice. Tell the world that a prince was born, and that only good times will come from now on."

Liu Man spoke with a robust and authoritative voice. He left Liu Feng with his mother, Mo Daiyu. Liu Feng calmed down by then. He felt his mother's warmth soothed the pain that he was feeling. As a new born, he was still struggling to even breathe, and for him, it felt like he was having an asthma attack. In his mother's arms, all of that faded away. He slowly analyzed the situation.

For some reason, he could perfectly understand the language used here. It was clearly English. A few minutes of listening in on conversations, and he understood that he was born to the King of Aegon, a kingdom in the continent of Dicain.

"Well I am still a child. Let me enjoy my childhood when I can. I can't possibly do everything that I wanted to do being a child. It's time to relive a part of my life I always regretted.", Liu Feng thought to himself.

Liu Man entered the room with an old man and woman. He took Liu Feng and handed him carefully to the old man and said, "Father, you have a grandson now."

The old man looked at Liu Feng, and then handed him to his wife next to him.

"It seems that the Gods have blessed us with good fortune. Take him to the church one month later and baptize him. We can't afford to have a prince without magical affinity."

When Liu Feng heard the word Magic his ears perked up. He immediately tried to move closer to his grandfather. He was certainly interested in something that he read about only in books, fiction or other wise.

"It seems that this world is not simple, and it has magic. Magic, kingdoms, reincarnation, what the hell happened to me? Who knows what the future contains.", Liu Feng pondered upon the implications.

" I thought this would be a breeze, but it appears that I will have to work very hard in the future."
