Lily was going over the doc.u.ments when she heard this cry. Recognising the voice and contents of the cry she jumped up and ran towards the voice.

'Arius'

Lily wasn't the only one making her way towards the cry as she met Baldrik and Atia on the way. Behind them was a patrol of guards that got bigger and bigger as more joined in. Running to Amadeus' training room a crying child, an old man appeasing the said child and an unconscious one came into view. The scene was quite comical if an unconscious Amadeus did ruin it.

""Amadeus!!""

"Father!!"

Atia and Lily made their way to Amadeus as Arius jumped into her bosom. Baldrik dismissed the guards as only the smile was left. Seeing the bruise on the unconscious Amadeus' head, Atia switched as she turned to her husband,

"Caesar, what the h.e.l.l do you think you're doing, you piece of-?!"

"Mother!"

Lily quickly halted her mother as Arius could hear what they were saying, she didn't want them to learn any bad words. Realising her mistake, Atia stopped before continuing,

"Why were you so heavy handed? What if you had damaged his beautiful face?"

The previous dragon emperor tried to explain himself but Atia didn't let her,

"What would you have done if you killed him? 'Draconic empire's crown prince killed by own grandfather' What the h.e.l.l were you thinking?..."

Atia went on and on as the previous emperor's presence got smaller and smaller. It wasn't until Amadeus showed signs of waking up, did she calm down,

"Mother."

Amadeus opened his eyes and Lily was still there. He slowly got up and looked round. He saw his family surround him as he saw his grandmother scold the old man that attacked him. A mischievous thought flashed through his mind as Baldrik came closer. He looked at his mother and winked before looking at Baldrik,

"Are you okay Amadeus?"

"Who are you?"

Baldrik stopped in his tracks as he was shocked by the question,

"What did you say Amadeus?"

Amadeus didn't reply, but cutely tilted his head sideways showing a confused expression. This didn't go unheard by the old dragons as Atia got more riled up and Caesar had cold sweat pouring down his face. Amadeus had heard that apart from having great strength, his grandfather wasn't very smart, and his grandmother had basically run the empire.

"Look at what you did…"

Atia went on another scolding episode as she started beating him up. It wasn't until a few bones breaking was heard before she was stopped by Amadeus. Looking down at her grandson who was tugging her dress, a look of pity was seen. Picking him up,

"Doesn't matter Amadeus, grandmother will help you recover your memories"

"No, it's okay, I remembered everything hearing grandmother's voice"

Seeing Amadeus' innocent smile, Atia felt a tug in her heart string as she hugged Amadeus

'Soooo cuute'

After settling down, Atia looked at Caesar,

"Well, what are you doing?"

"An old man can't come to look at his grandchildren, plus I wanted to test out the future emperor."

"Why?"

Atia was confused along with the rest. Arius had fallen asleep due to the crying while Amadeus listened carefully.

"Because I wanted to"

Caesar started laughing while Atia and the rest were stumped with the thought process of the old man. Caesar suddenly stopped laughing as if coming to a conclusion,

"I've decided, I'll be training Amadeus from now"

""""Eh?!""""

Atia just sighed at her husband's whims as she had long since got tired and used to it.

From that day, Amadeus' training went up a notch with the old man's intrusion. His father returned to handling the Empire, so Caesar had taken over all his training routines and Amadeus found it h.e.l.l. His mother became in charge of training him in information gathering and how to notice small changes within a report. It was like she was training him to be spy. His grandmother would train him in everything about general knowledge while he would accompany his father in seeing how he ran the kingdom.

And before they knew it Amadeus was seven years old.

He was currently riding a dragon with Baldrik who had a smile plastered on his face. His worries seemed for nought as Amadeus and Arius got along really well. Amadeus always protected his little brother and was like half a teacher to him. Many of the things he learned was from Amadeus and Arius seriously looked up to his big brother.

Amadeus behind him had also grown up well, he was and looked like a healthy seven-year-old, albeit with muscles here and there.

He was currently wearing his normal training attire and had a Chinese halberd propped up on his shoulder. It looked extremely out of place with the kid but the way he was holding it made it seem weightless.

"Ok Amadeus, here is the first part of your trials, survive here for three months"

With this he pushed him off,

"Eh-?!"
