Chapter 23: Four Years Old
More than three years passed, and Ellis was now four years old.
During all that time, Ellis had done a lot of things, and learned just as much.
Aside from the general information that he previously would always try hard to piece together from what he saw or heard from Silas, after learning how to read and write... and moreover, after discovering the existence of the library in his palace and entering it on his own, these kinds of things, and more, were all written in just one book explaining the history of the royal family. So, they were easily obtained.
But aside from that, which he now considered trivial, he had done many other things.
Ellis had actually started learning magic!
... Or more like, learning about magic.
As after understanding how magic works in this world, he found himself filled with doubts toward it.
He at first sought to take Silas's help in that, of course, not just in regard to his doubts, but also to help him in learning magic. But it turned out that she didn't know much.
So, he was forced to teach himself.
Even then, the process was fun.
Learning theories about mana, magic circles that indicated the level of a mage, or the spells... and the magic circles that represented them, that were like a conduct, a channel for performing magic, gave him a sense of fulfillment.
