Despite only having been in this body for a short time, Rafayel was suddenly exposed to the eyes of a massive crowd, leaving his mind completely blank.
Please… let this be over soon…
Somehow, Rafayel managed to remain standing until the end of the ceremony.
Afterward, Thalia picked him up and carried him out of the hall.
Their parents and Thomas had to stay behind to see the guests off, so Rafayel was taken back to his room by Thalia and Greyson.
Once there, they changed him into his nightclothes and placed him into bed.
Finally! Sleep at last!
Relieved, Rafayel closed his eyes.
However, despite his exhaustion, the lingering tension from the ceremony had his mind wide awake, making it impossible for him to fall asleep.
Even though my body is exhausted… I can't sleep…
On Rafayel's right side, Greyson was already fast asleep, and on his left, Thalia's soft breathing indicated she had drifted off as well.
Today was really exhausting… I can't believe all this happened right after I was reborn.
And I still haven't seen my own face yet.
I wonder what I look like… At the very least, since I was born to those parents, I can't be ugly!
My siblings are all good-looking, too!
Plus, the God did say He would grant my wish… Once I grow a little and can walk on my own, I'll check in a mirror.
Oh, speaking of which, the God also said He'd give me a special skill when I was reincarnated… What was it again?
Maybe it's something that suits my interests… Like the ability to see people's affection levels!?
Whoa, that would be an amazing skill!
As he pondered over it, sleep gradually took over.
The next morning, Rafayel woke up to the sound of knocking on the door.
He glanced to his sides, only to find that both Thalia and Greyson were gone.
Now, he was the only one lying in bed.
Where did they go…?
A voice called out from beyond the door.
"Young Master Rafayel, I will be entering now."
A woman stepped inside.
"Good morning, Young Master Rafayel. I apologize for opening the door without your response, but you have scheduled plans today, so I had no choice. My name is Tama, and I will be in charge of attending to your daily needs. Please feel free to call me Tama. It seems you slept well last night. You must have been quite tired… Now then, since you went to bed without a bath yesterday, let's take care of that before breakfast."
Rafayel simply nodded in response, and Tama gently guided him toward the bath.
As she washed his body and hair, she began answering the question that had crossed his mind earlier.
"Young Miss Thalia and Young Master Greyson have gone to the academy to focus on their studies. Children begin attending the academy at the age of seven, so you still have a little while before it's your turn. At the academy, they will measure your magical aptitude, and by the time you turn ten, you'll have the option to join either the knight order or the magic academy."
