The Strange Life I Live

Prince Without Light

Zen Heilight, that was the name of a little boy, who was currently looking at a loved one, was lying weakly on the bed. Although the woman he looked at looked skinny, but could be seen her beauty which was still clearly plastered on her face.

“I-Mother...” said the little man.

“Z-Zen..” Reply the mother of the boy in a quiet voice, greeting her son who called her that.

And that was the woman's last words, before she breathed her last in the world. The poison from the Demon Race that gnawed at his life was unable to be eliminated, even though this kingdom was a natural enemy of the Demon Race in this world.

The boy could only cry, watching the person who loved him die. Not only himself, his brother and his younger brother also grieved, seeing the person who gave birth to them had died.

And that's how the boy's suffering began. The day goes on and it doesn't feel like he's 17 at the moment. Zen Heilight was currently kneeling before a throne, where a dashing man was staring at him from there.

“My son Zen, I will betrothed you to one of the princesses of the kingdom Enex.” Such was the command of the man who was on the throne to his son.

For some people, it might be nice if they will be married by someone who is a Princess of the kingdom. But not with Zen, this indicates that he will undergo exile or arguably banished.

“How did you answer my son?” ask the man back.

The Heilight Kingdom was a powerful kingdom. This is because the original descendants of this kingdom have a step element, the light element. But unfortunately, Zen who became the Prince of the Heilight kingdom did not have that element at all.

“I be-”

“I disagree your majesty. Why should a member of our great royal family, be married to a person – people from the kingdom of trash?” said a woman who interrupts the words of Zen, who will answer the man before her.

But his words even get ridicule from some of the people in the hall. Because according to them, the woman should not defend a trash who does not have the criteria as a member of the royal family.

“Shut!” shouted the King who was still sitting on his throne at the moment, after hearing the small commotion in his throne hall.

Hearing the words of their King, inevitably they all calmed down including the woman who defended Zen earlier. Resisting his anger, he sat back in silence and continued to watch the meeting unfold.

“Why do you defend him so much Kak?” said the woman next to him.

“What is your mahsut, of course because he is my younger brother” said the woman who had just sat down.

“The weak brother is not suitable to be considered your sister Ivana” said the woman back.

“What is your mahsut Valana, she is your older sister” said the woman named Ivana to her sister who was sitting next to her.

“I agree with the words of Valana Kak, the man is not suitable to be here, or bear as the prince of this kingdom” said a handsome man sitting next to them.

The man was Isaac Heilight, one of the princes of this kingdom. He was one of the sons of the royal king Heilight from the 21st concubine. King Arthur Heilight has 43 concubines in the kingdom.

Although polygamy in this world is reasonable, the number of concubines owned by the king of this kingdom is very large. This is because to look for pure offspring that have a step element that is light.

The main empress of this kingdom or mother of Zen, managed to give birth to two offspring that have the light element, while of the 43 concubines owned by King Arthur Heilight, only 2 children who have the light element.

Issac only smiled, but the feeling of anger from being insulted did not escape his mind. His strength, which was far different from Ivana, was one of the factors he did not dare to fight against.

“But, shouldn't people who don't have light elements not be considered a member of the royal family?” isaac said back.

“I told you to shut up, or I'll kill you and not care what punishment I'll take” said Ivana, who had grabbed the handle of her sword, which was still in a sheath wrapped around her waist.

“Already Brother, we better pay attention to this meeting” But Valana immediately calmed her Brother, before an unwanted incident occurred.

What they did not realize, however, was that a teenage man was staring at them with his evil smile. He is Federick Heilight, one of the princes of this kingdom who is an ambitious and cunning man.

“Hm... It seems like my journey to become heir to the Heilight Kingdom will run smoothly” said the sly man.

On the other hand, the aura that the King of this kingdom released, was still suppressing and making the person in the hall of this place calm down. With a stern look, he looked back at the son in front of him who was considered trash.

Indeed, all the children of the concubine that King Arthur had, would be exiled from childhood if they did not have the light element in their bodies. But it was different from Zen who was the direct son of the Empress of this kingdom.

Actually the King of this kingdom wanted to directly exile Zen, but the pressure from the nobles from the imperial party, resulted in him not being able to do so. So the moment he managed to master them, Zen's seclusion plan would finally materialize.

“What's your answer my son” asked the king once more.

“I received it” replied Zen by restraining his anger.

------------

Marlet, is the name of a world filled with various races that died and divided into several kingdoms, and the Kingdom of Enex is one of them. This kingdom was a middle kingdom, although most of the population of the kingdom had special powers.

Phoenix, one of the 4 mystical animals gives the blessing of its power to the kingdom of Enex, where its power makes the kingdom of Enex a fairly calculated kingdom. But it was not enough to match the kingdom of Heilight, the protective Kingdom of this Marlet plain.

Therefore, when King Heilight was about to betroth his son to the royal daughter of Enex, they gladly accepted him. Who does not want to have a relationship with the kingdom of Heilight, such was the mind of the officials of the kingdom of Enex.

“Kingdom Enex yes..” Zen murmur.

Zen is currently in a train, which will deliver it directly to the work of Enex. With the technology owned by the kingdom of Heilight, Zen journey which should be seven months, can be reached with a time of four and a half months.

“Welcome to the kingdom of Enex lord.” said one of the gatekeepers of the royal palace of Enex, when Zen entered it.

“Do I just accept my fate?” zen said, because with him in this place, it is certain that all his ambitions will fail and be difficult to achieve.

Zen descended from his carriage slowly, he was led straight to the royal hall, where the King of this kingdom was located. As the door of the room opened, a red-haired man could be seen sitting at his usual seat.

A beautiful woman also sat next to him, who was his empress and the two women were no less beautiful sitting next to the empress. Aghni Enex was one of them, who was a potential fiancee of Zen.

“Very pretty”
