If they noticed something about him… his strength, for example…
Everything would change.
He was strong enough that he didn't think even a four-circle mage would be able to beat him.
And he was still not even five years old.
Then, when he grows up… how much more strength would he have?
And if his siblings ever found this out, what would happen?
They would be scared… and so, they would come at him with all their might.
His strength was a threat to all of them, after all.
As for expecting the king, or anyone, to take his side because of his talent?
Ellis didn't expect that.
People had always been afraid of the unknown.
So they would probably come at him too… even if under a different pretext.
But even if that wasn't the case, he still didn't want to depend on something like that.
His strength was the only thing he trusted.
The only thing he would ever rely on.
So, he hoped… he hoped that they didn't test his limit.
