Chapter 1 - The Morning of the Gentleman

Young Sven Laocard wakes up in his bed. His hair is dark blue, very long reaching down to his shoulders, scattered across the pillow. Slightly orange light poured from the panoramic window directly onto his face. And his face is quite delicate in the morning, with its clean porcelain skin.

Sven, rubbing his face slightly, got out of bed, quickly throwing on a white robe. He approached the table where books, notes, and other things were scattered. He picked up an artifact stone with which he contacted the servants, and pressed it several times. Afterward, he went to the bathroom, the door of which was right in his room.

First, he undressed. He stepped into the shower stall, lathered his slightly muscular body, and then washed his head with shampoo and conditioner with a cherry flavor. Then he rinsed it off.

When he stepped out of the stall, the family page Herman was waiting for him, holding two towels in his hands. Sven took the long towel and dried his whole body, giving the now-dirty towel back to Herman. Herman threw it into the laundry basket. Meanwhile, Sven threw the white robe on himself again. After he had washed, he approached the sink. He wetted his face with water, washed it with foam, dried his face with the second towel, applied cream down to the décolleté area, and after everything, he applied sunscreen to his skin.

After the bathroom procedures, Sven sat on a chair in front of the panoramic window. He took a mug with a decoction of langlong mushroom, which Herman had set out before entering the bathroom.

Sven looked out the panoramic window at the gardeners who were growing flowers in the backyard. Sven's father, Arthur, had hired them because he wanted to give Sven's mother, Marie, all the flowers in the world.

Herman looked at Sven from behind, seeing him and feeling proud of the person he had raised. Looking at those cold blue eyes, he thought: "Such a serious young guy—I nursed him for all 16 years. What is he thinking about? Probably about the recent incident when his brother Darius was kicked out of the house by Father; I would be thinking only about that too, since he and Darius were thick as thieves."

These thoughts were logical, as Darius really was a pillar for Sven. At the same time, Sven was thinking: "Just how big are Sarra's tits. And this langlong decoction is not tasty; I only drink it so that my magic power increases. But in the original novel, they said it was sweet."

After Sven finished the decoction, he stood up and put on the rose chain artifact that was lying on the table. Then he opened social networks on his smartphone. No messages had arrived; Sven was even happy about that. Living for 16 years in this world, Sven had already gotten used to the setting of a magical world in a modern world.

Sven got up from the chair and left the room. After several flights through the corridors, Sven went down to the first floor via the stairs. Then he entered the dining room.

The dining room was huge, with three large windows with long red curtains. The floor was made of black lacquered wood, and the wallpaper in the room was dark. In the middle of it all was an absurdly long table and five chairs with high backs.

At the table sat his father Arthur, his mother Marie, and his younger brother Aurion. Sven sat at the table next to Aurion.

Arthur Laocard, head of the "Blue Rose" clan. A lean, muscular man who looks like a pirate. With dark blue hair, an eyepatch, and yellow eyes. Married.

Marie Laocard, a good mage from the Scribe Academy. A woman with beautiful skin, blue eyes, and voluminous long red hair. Third size.

Aurion Laocard, son of the head of the "Blue Rose." Red-haired, blue-eyed. Unmarried.

You are late – said his mother Marie.

Sorry, I was delayed in the shower – Sven said.

Sven calmly took a spoon and began to eat the fish soup. Sometimes he wondered why he ended up in this book world. He always thought about it and built theories regarding it, yet he never found the answer.
