Angelic Predator:Trust Me, I'm Sane

In Crimsonveil family,

there is a ritual performed when a child is of 3 months for every child in Crimsonveil whether, adopted, legitimate or illegitimate

(All those who were raised in duchy since birth).

Von the middle name and Crimsonveil for surname, is awarded to only worthy ones, who prove themselves.

Anyone can have Von middle name ,if they pass the test.

Those who pass the first phase are officially crowned as Crimsonveil's knights while, if passed the 2nd phase.

They can enter direct line, even if not become the heir in the end but still get the privilege of noble.

Elarion unfortunately couldn't, but this time, he won't repeat it again.

In this ritual a child barely months old is left in a special chamber filled with high quantity of mana in the air, legacy of Crimsonveil.

As the child take breath in this chamber their body get immune to the mana in air and make their body stronger and have better foundation.

A child remains inside the room as long as the lights don't go off indicating that the process of intaking mana has stopped or the person inside has reached his/her limit.

Since this method works for only months old babies but, it still was tiring and straining.

Only after this ceremony did the child officially get a place in duchy and trained under supervision of head.

Elarion was layed in the room by none other than the butler of duchy Seymore;

Seymore was truthful and helpful in many ways.

He was one of the people who trusted and helped him always but Elarion was unable to prevent his early demise.

"How dark, it also feels strangely eerie. No wonder every child cry after minutes and few only sustain for hour" he thought.

His previous life time was 3 hour which made him once in a time genius which was equal to his brothers yet his condition destroyed his hope and he got stuck at 5th stage.

But now that he had destroyed the reason behind his demise, he is unstoppable.

Of course he is not going to forget the reason behind the scheme, he has a suspect in mind but it's not his priority right now.

Those idiots don't deserve his attention.

He focused his attention towards the room and took a long breath; he could feel the mana entering his body and his body responding to it.

He sat upright though it took him a lot of effort because of his small body.

He looked constipated.

Nevertheless, he succeeded and sat upright, it was more favorable this way since he could take the mana inside his body faster with more precision.

He started concentrating, concentrating deeply-as deep as the pacific ocean...….

Inhale...Exhale....Inhale...….Exhale....

His body moving with rhythm and responding to every bit of mana in the air making it flow through his body with more and more precision.

Tick tock.... Tick tock...….

An hour passed,then a Second hour also passed.

Patriarch was also standing at the door after 3 hours passed, they were certain it was the birth of another genius in duchy,

they all were waiting outside.

Tick tock...…Tick tock...…..

As another 2 hours also passed the excitement grew into eerie silence which swept the whole corridor in an instant.

5 hours had been gone in an instant but there was still no signal.

Inside the room***

Elarion was in the middle of room still and concentrating, he didn't notice the passage of time, he was trying to make the process faster but still it took more time in eyes of others.

His body was stressed from this,

he was drenched in sweat there was a sharp pain in every joint of his body.

It was no longer training but straight up abuse. Every passing minute after 5 hours felt like an hour.

His body was at his limit. Though he never expected to come this far.

Yet he still wasn't ready to give up, it still was not enough, he thought.

Finally after Total 6 hours,

the head became nervous and right after getting the signal immediately open the door of the chamber.

He walked inside, his step hurried , his face worried ,then reaching the middle of the room,he found Elarion sleeping in the middle.(exhausted and passed out after the training).

Herus let out a sigh of relief and gently picked him like he was a made of glass which might break with single wrong move and Game Over.

Herus's face got back to his expressionless self after noticing the presence of other servants and people of duchy in the room,

showing he was not shaken yet his eyes betrayed him by showing slight genuine concern for his child.

Elarion slightly opened his eyes after feeling someone's firm grip on his body.

And the thing he saw after opening his eyes shocked him.

'It was not possible, it can't be,have I gone insane finally?? I knew there was no way I was still sane.

God take me, no don't take me back there' he repeated like a prayer in his mind.

But he couldn't process and went back to sleep.

{A/N: Guys remember if you face a problem you can't solve, don't overthink it.

All you gotta do is lay on anything you got and sleep.
