The Childhood Of The Shadow Emperor

In the last chapter

We saw that a child with a cursed magic of shadow was born in the largest kingdom of 'Earthania'. Where he is only 1 year old. But he was getting bullied by his family. And we saw that the head magician Ida Tomio with him

"Are you a great magician?"

"Yes I'm a great magician. In fact, I'm the strongest magician."

"WOW! Can I also become strong like you?"

"Yes of course. In fact you can surpass me."

"WOW!"

Hearing this, Tatsuo was surprised.

The Rise Of The Shadow Emperor

The Childhood Of The Shadow Emperor....

One years later, Nishimoto Tatsuo. Age 2. He was already able to control his magic power bit by bit. But the king was also worried for his insane growth.

"Your Majesty, We should take precaution for Nishimoto Tatsuo-sama because of his growth." says a minister.

"He is right Your Majesty. We cannot ignore Tatsuo-sama's growth anymore. He could posses insane danger to this kingdom and the world." says another minister.

"You both are right. At this rate, Tatsuo could even defeat a veteran magician. But we need to follow what the great priest said."

"Your Order is our life path."

"Tatsuo-sama. Its time for our walk." said Ida Tomio.

"Tomio-nii!! Lets go!!"

Tomio and Tatsuo went out of the castle. They started to walk downtown.

"Tatsuo-sama, are you tired of walking? Do you want me to carry you?"

"Don't worry. I'm fine. Besides, I like walking down the path. I can see people and it makes my stamina improve."

""He really is a strange but intelligent child.""[author] ""Speech"" means that he is thinking in his mind.[/author]

"Ah! 2nd prince. Good Morning." greeted a vendor.

"Ah! Oji-san. Very Good Morning!"

"Energized as always."

"So what are in stock today?"

"We got healing potions and some energy potions."

"Ohh. What does energy potions do?"

"Energy potions will re-energize you. It is really good for dungeon raiders."

"Tomio-nii, what are dungeon raiders?"

"Dungeon raiders are magicians who raids dungeons."

"Are dungeon raiders strong?"

"Yes they are very strong."

"Are you a dungeon raider too Tomio-nii?"

"I was a dungeon raider but then I became the head magician."

"As expected of Tomio-nii!"

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

"And what happens if the dungeon raiders doesn't raid dungeons?" Tatsuo asked with a questioned face.

"Then the monsters in the dungeon will come out and kill everyone." said the vendor with a scary funny.

"Eek."

Tatsuo got scared and hugged Tomio. Tomio patted him on his head.

"Don't worry. If anything happens. I will protect you."

"Thank you Tomio-nii."

The Rise Of The Shadow Emperor

[After Some days]

"Ryo-nii, Mori-nee. Give me my toy back." Tatsuo requested with a crying face.

"No go away. Its mine from now on." said Ryo with an angry expression.

"Hahahaha. Tatsuo. You are such a crybaby. You can't even fight back." said Moriko while laughing.

Nishimoto Ryo. The first child and the first prince of the royal family. He is Tatsuo's big brother. He always likes to bully Tatsuo

Nishimoto Moriko. The 2nd child and the first princess of the royal family. Although Tatsuo first liked her quite a bit, but she hated Tatsuo. So when she saw Tatsuo she will bully him.

"But... But I don't like to fight. Fighting is scary."

"What did you say you stupid bastard?" Ryo said with a scary face.

"Eek.."

"He is such a coward. Such a failure." said Moriko with a angry face.

Ryo then pushed Tatsuo on the ground. Then Moriko and Ryo both started to kick Tatsuo.

"Ow Ryo-nii, Mori-nee. It hurts. Please stop." said Tatsuo while crying.

"Hahahaha. You are so weak." said Ryo while laughing.

"Please stop... Hik...."

After sometimes they left the room.

"Why. Why do they always bully me? I didn't do anything to them."

After 10 minutes. Tomio came to check on Tatsuo. When he came he saw Tatsuo sleeping on the ground.

"Geez Tatsuo-sama. You should sleep on your bed. What will happen if you get a backache at this age?"

When Tomio came close to Tasuo. He saw bruises over his whole bodies. Tomio was shocked. Then he looked at the floor and saw some blood and a ripped toy... He was angry. He couldn't control his anger. But he couldn't do anything, because if he did then it will put Tatsuo at risk too..

""Those guys. Are they really from the queen? How can monsters like those 2 be born from her?""

Tomio carried Tasuo to his bed and laid him there.

"It must've been hard right Tatsuo-sama? But you need to stay strong. If you don't, you will not survive in this world. Stay strong and become a strong magician who can protect this world and make those fools wrong." Tomio said while tears were rolling down his cheeks.

After some times. Tomio left the room. And Tatsuo's eyes were wide open. Then tears started to roll down.

The Rise Of The Shadow Emperor

[After some days later]

Tatsuo and Tomio were walking through the streets as usual. When they were walking. It was the usual same street. Vendors selling potions armors etc... But suddenly they heard a scream.

"AHHHHHHH!"

When they heard the scream, Tatsuo and Tomio rushed to the scene. Then they saw a small girl at the age of Tatsuo getting bullied by a knight.

"Ow. It hurts. Why are you hitting me?" a random girl.

"Because you were gawking at me you bastard, and you didn't apologize too." a guard.

"I'm sorry. Please let me go."

"HEY WHAT ARE YOU DOING?? WHY ARE YOU HITTING HER?" Tatsuo screamed.

"HUH? Who are you bastard? Go away before you get hurt!" Shouted the guard at Tatsuo.

"Who is going to hurt who?" Tomio interfered.

"Gre...Great Magician. Good Day!"

"Its the great magician. Why is he hear?" the crowd was whispering.

"Great magician this two kids were not listening to me so I was going to lecture them."

"Why should Tatsuo-sama listen to you? You should be the one listening to him." replied Tomio.

"Ta...Tatsuo-sama? You mean the 2nd Prince? OH MY GOD! YOUR MAJESTY I'M REALLY SORRY! PLEASE HAVE MERCY!!"

The guard bowed down and apologized hardly.

"Don't apologize to me. Apologize to the girl over there." Tatsuo replied.

"I'm really sorry little girl. I should be careful next time." apologized the knight to the girl.

"Hmph."

"Tatsuo-sama? The 2nd prince is here?" the crowd whispering.

After the guard and the crowd left the scene. The girl came to Tatsuo.

"Uhm.. Thank you for saving me earlier."

"Its okay. Don't worry. Anyway why were he hitting you?"

"It was because I was just looking at him. I want to become a knight too."

"Oh I see. So you were just inspiring him. You should've told him earlier."

"Yes.... Sorry."

"Don't worry about it. Anyway, what is your name?"

"Uhm yes. My name is Nakagawa Asami."

"Nakagawa Asami. What a beautiful name. I'm Tatsuo. Nice to meet you."

"Yes the pleasure is all mine. Your Majesty."

"Don't worry. You can call me Tatsuo too."

"Uhm.... Are you sure?"

"Yes its fine. Right Tomio-nii?" Tatsuo asked Tomio..

"Yes Tatsuo-sama. If that is your wish. It is certainly fine." Tomio replied....

"Uhm. Thank you Tatsuo-kun. You can call me Asami too."

"Yes.. Thank you Asami-chan... Anyway, I need to go. See you later...."

"Yes. See you Tatsuo-kun"

The Rise Of The Shadow Emperor

[Few Days Later]

In the streets of the town. Asami and Tatsuo were walking together. Tomio were far behind checking on him.

""Tatsuo-sama is growing so fast. He already got a friend... Which is also a cute girl. I hope Tatsuo-sama and Asami-sama stays good friends in the future too."" Tomio was thinking.

"Hey Tatsuo-kun. What is your dream?" Asami asked.

"Dream?" Tatsuo said with a confused face..

"Like what do you want to become when you grow up?"

"Oh. I want become a great magician like Tomio-nii." Tatsuo said with a pride face.

""Oh my. Tatsuo-sama. You will become even greater than me. I can guarantee it."" Tomio were thinking with a blushing crying funny face.

"You are right. Tomio-san is really great."

"Yes. I know. You wanted to become a knight right?"

"Yes. So then I can help this country to prosper." replied Asami with a bright happy smile.

Seeing Asami's smile. Tatsuo blushed a bit.

"Why are you red? Do you have a cold?" asked Asami after seeing Tatsuo blush..

""Cold? Tatsuo-sama.. Are you alright?" Tomio peaked and checked Tatsuo.

"No I don't.. I'm fine...." Tatsuo adverted his red face.

""Oh. Tatsuo-sama. I guess you are nearing that age already...""

"Anyway look. Lets go to that shop..." Tatsuo changed the topic.

"Yes... Lets go!"

Tatsuo let out a sigh of relief.

"Sigh"

"Hello Oji-san." Tatsuo greeted a vendor

"Oh! Tatsuo-sama. Welcome welcome. I see you have a new friend today." said the vendor.

"Yes. Her name is Asami. Treat her well."

"Yes your majesty. Beside. Didn't Tomio-san come with you today?" asked the vendor.

"No.. He had work. So I came with my friend."

"I see. So what do you want to buy today?" asked the vendor with his hand on top of his hand rubbing and gave out a smile.

"What do you have today in stock?"

"We got many stuff.. Like this wooden sword and all."

"I see. Too bad I don't have any money today. I will come at a later time..."

"Its okay. You are welcome anytime.."

After Tatsuo and Asami left the vendor. Asami asked a question.

"Hey... Tatsuo-kun, earlier you said that you wanted to be a great magician. Don't you want to take the throne?"

"No.. My siblings are there for that. They don't need me.."

"I see. Anyway. I will go for now. Its getting late. Bye!"

"Bye! Be careful."

Asami waved bye as she was running.

While Tatsuo was going back to the castle. He met with Tomio.. And they went home together.

But they didn't noticed that they were being stalked.

"So thats the kid?" a unknown voice.

"Yeah. If we get him. We can get a huge ransom." another unknown voice.

"But how will we get him if that pain in the a*s Ida Tomio stays with him all day long?"

"Don't worry. I got a plan."

Then those 2 unknown people started to walk away in the horizon. Talking about something...
