Frowned Upon as the Child of a Prostitute, the Seventh Prince Becomes the Strongest Wizard after Working Hard since Infancy - Chapter 4

“Look, run away! Run away, run away! Run around like the prey you are!”
…
7 years old.
I was in the middle of a group bullying.
In the courtyard of the rear palace, where I was laughed at by the many servants and concubines of the Emperor, I was used as a practice ground for the magic of Dust, the second prince with a bullying temperament.
“Oh sh*t… oopsie, you’re quite quick, Lux. See, I wonder if you can avoid this one! Ha-ha-ha-ha-ha.”
Dust laughs and launches his magic against me.
I run around the courtyard, never fighting back, and manage to dodge Dust’s magic until I run out of magic.
“Look at that.”
“Uh-huh, it’s funny.”
‘That suits a wh*re’s child.’
“Master Dust’s magic is unparalleled.”
“That wh*re’s child has no magic, so she can’t fight back.”
“You look like a rabbit running away from a predator. It’s miserable.”
The Emperor’s concubines look at me like that and smile at me like I’m a little fool.
We, the mother and son, were no longer treated even coldly by the Emperor, we were no longer treated as a partner who could do anything in the rear court, and both mother and son were treated in a haphazard manner.
Not only the second prince Dust, but also other princes and their mothers can be mean to us and our children in many ways.
“Please don’t… please don’t… please don’t…!”
It was my mother, Sonya, who rushed to me in a panic when she saw me being abused by the Second Prince Dust.
She kneels down to Dust’s mother and begs Dust to stop bullying me.
“Please… forgive Lux.”
“Oh-ho-ho. You are miserable. Your child is such a sad failure, running away without fighting back.”
‘Please! I’ll do anything, please help Lux…”
‘But, your son has the right to succeed to the throne, does he not? As a member of the royal family, you are supposed to protect yourself. If you cannot do that, shouldn’t you leave the rear palace?”
“Yes.”
“You’re absolutely right.”
“Oh-ho-ho… a whore is always a whore, no matter how far she goes. And that child is only a fraction of what she is.”
The Emperor’s concubines do not take kindly to Sonya crying for forgiveness.
When Sonya realised that she couldn’t convince her concubines, she ran up to me, as if she couldn’t stand it.
“Lux, run…!”
“Look, we’ve got you, Lux!”
“Mother! Watch out! You can’t come here!!!!”
Sonya jumps out in front of me, sheltering me.
She is almost hit by a dust flare magic bullet.
“The Demon Wall.”
I quickly deployed a wall of magic to protect Sonya.
Bang!
The magic bullet of dust is played and astonishment spreads all around.
“Did you just…?”
“How on earth did you…?”
“Are you kidding me, …… my magic was repelled by the garbage …… Lux…?”
Dust looks at me with eyes widened in surprise.
Bad.
I wanted to keep my competence hidden until the right time.
I used magic on the spur of the moment to protect my mother.
“Lux…? Did you just…?”
“I don’t understand, Mother. Let’s get out of here quicker than that.”
“Yeah, yeah…”
I left the place immediately with my mother.
“Was that really that wh*re’s child?”
“Maybe he just happened to be lucky enough to activate the magic…?”
“I don’t think that child, with his lack of magical powers, could use magic. …… I’m sure someone else could…”
“Could someone else have invoked the magic to protect the wh*re and son…?”
I took Sonya’s hand and we left the courtyard amidst the murmur of people.
