God's Apostle: Rebirth of a Lazy Genius

—Imperial Akarkic Year 48th, August 4th—

Today my baby brother Ethan was born. He is so cute, like an angel. His cheeks are so fluffy too. I wanted to stretch them but mommy yelled at me. Funny thing, mommy says that when I was born, I cried like there was no tomorrow. But Eth didn't cry at all.

—Imperial Akarxic Year 48th, November 10—

I hate studying! I wanna be like Eth. He only sleeps and eats all day. Why do I have to study at all? It's so useless! But I do like mathematics a lot!

—Imperial Akarxic Year 49th, January 31st—

I heard the maids say that Ethan isn't capable because he doesn't speak much. So what? He's just a silent bloomer! How infuriating! Servants shouldn't talk behind their master's back. Hmph! The next time I hear them gossip about my brother, I'm not going to just take it!

Anyways, today I saw Elder Brother Shirin doing his Martial Arts training. And it looked so painful and exhausting! I could never do it. But Brother Shirin is very strong. He didn't even break a sweat! Even Uncle Alier was impressed by him.

—Imperial Akarxic Year 49th, February 4th—

Today I heard that a princess was born just recently! She is the third Princess of the Atrana Kingdom… I think.. Mother did teach me but.. Ah… I don't remember. But it's a great thing that now we have a new princess! I wonder when I will be able to meet her!

—Imperial Akarxic Year 49th, March 11th—

I heard terrible news today, the newborn Princess's mother, 'The Lady from Distant Land' died. Everyone Is gossiping that she was assassinated. I can't believe this has happened! How could the King's Lady Wife be assassinated like this?

Mother said that I shouldn't think much about this.

—Imperial Akarxic Year 49th, August 4th!—

Yay! It's Ethan's first birthday! The mansion is decorated, a banquet will be held and I will be able to have a lot of sweets! What should I give Ethan? He's so little and doesn't even talk… I don't know what he likes. I must give him the best gift of all gifts!

*Incoherent Scrambling*

Today is the worst day. Big Brother Shirin is leaving us and going to the Capital. The King wants him to serve in the King's Sword! The King is the worst. *maybe I should erase this* Hmph! The King is still the worst!

Father says that it's an honor and our family will get more influential in the Royal Court. Hell with that! Isn't the current position enough? Why must Big Brother go?

—Imperial Akarxic Year 51—

Mother keeps telling me to act 'Ladylike' but that's so boring. Anyways, I did embroidery for the first time! I made a sunflower on the handkerchief! I'm so good hahaha!

—Imperial Akarxic Year 51—

Father is leaving today, he's going to the borders of the Duchy to examine the conditions of our forts and territory.

—Imperial Akarxic Year 52, March 22—

Ethan has started talking! See? I knew he'd be a silent bloomer! No matter what others say, I have complete faith in little Ethan! I know by heart that he will become someone great that I can be proud of someday! I'm sure of it!

—Imperial Akarxic Year 53rd—

A letter arrived from Big Brother Shirin! I miss him so much, I hope he's doing well out there. Hope to meet him again soon. He wrote concerning news, the Tribal People attacked they say. I hope it's nothing serious.

—Imperial Akarxic Year 53, February—

I know what Ethan likes now! He likes free sky and books! He also likes the mansion's backyard. Although I also like it a lot! Since Ethan likes books, I'm going to bring him many books from the library! Sometimes I get a strange feeling from him… I can't explain it… It's very bizarre and unexplainable.

—Imperial Akarxic Year 53, March—

Ok! What's with Luce? He's so weird! I hate him! He's infuriating and only uncle can keep him in control! He's so cruel, he crushed such a beautiful butterfly in the garden. I happened to see it and reprimanded him on the spot. But he just didn't listen at all! What's wrong with him?

—Imperial Akarxic Year 53rd, April—

Hehe, mother and father are searching for tutors for Ethan. My tutor backed out from teaching him saying that it was too strenuous to teach two children at once. Hmph! Excuses!

—June—

After many scholars came and went, no one agreed on accepting Ethan as their student. Well, I guess he will at least be saved from devilish studying. Good for him.

—August—

Huh, So, father found a tutor for Ethan afterall. She is Earlene Farley and she's so young. Nothing like my tutor! Although I haven't heard of her but they say she's very good at academics. I hope big sis Earlene will teach Ethan well. Good for him.

—Imperial Akarxic Year 54, January—

It's so cold, I caught a cold and now I'm miserable. I can't even breathe properly. This is the worst! But mother is taking care of me, hehe. I think she is only kind to me when I am sick, but she's always kind to Ethan. She doesn't even scold him. That's unfair…. But… Good for him!

—February—

My cold is gone and now I can eat sweets again. News came that something happened in the East. I'm not sure what and I don't care either. Today a band of performers had come to the mansion to perform. It was fun. Even Ethan also liked it. Hope to see more such performances. They sang and danced, and performed dramas and puppetry. They even had wild animals. The whole family was there and it felt good to be with everyone.

—March—

The audacity! Some marquees actually sent a letter today proposing a marriage alliance. Of course, my father is stalling for now. I would rather die than marry… Although if it's a prince… Hmmm….

—April—

This year's harvest is said to be decent… It's sufficient but less than last year's. I have also heard that some issues are going on in the Kingdom of Kahnver from which we, the Atrana Kingdom, export food.

This is also the month of prayers and festivals. The City is invigorated by happiness and the festival mood. We all pray that next year's harvest will be sufficient. May the Goddess of Harvest bless us!

—Imperial Akarxic Year 55, February—

Ethan's education seems to be going well, but he looked rather pale today.

Surprisingly, Luceryc is also quite good at swordsmanship as he demonstrated today during his training with uncle Alier. He's still a weirdo nonetheless.

—April—

Today I learned of the Kuber Merchant Company and its meteoric rise since the last decade. It's very intriguing. I wonder who is running the company.

—June 14th—

Ethan suddenly fell unconscious and the cocoon of Ancestral Awakening formed around him. Surprisingly, he is going through the rare Awakening so early than the norm. While I am happy for him, I'm also very worried. May God Keep Him Safe.

—June 18th—

I haven't slept well for a few days out of worry. I don't feel like writing today as four days have passed but the cocoon hasn't deformed yet. I hope that my little brother is safe.

—June 22—

I wasn't in the mood to write these past few days, Father had left to bring help as too many days have passed since Ethan fell unconscious. This is not normal and so outside assistance will be needed. Fortunately, father returned today and he has brought a girl with him called Anicia. I don't know how she can help but anything is fine as long as Ethan is ok.

—June 24—

I don't know what that girl did, but Ethan is awake now. And he seems a lot brighter than before. It's really a miracle. He is a lot more talkative and active. Although I liked him before when he was less active too it's great now! Mother and father both are very happy. I'm very grateful to Anicia.

—June 27—

Today was the best! Me, Anicia, and Big sister Earlene went out in the city together and had a lot of fun! We bought a lot of sweets, jewelry, and ornaments. We talked about this and that and gossiped through the whole journey. As we roamed the city, for the first time I felt very interested in something. The marketplace excited me and I think I have fallen in love with money! I wanna earn money! Maybe I can create a Merchant Company? How fun would that be! But I don't know if Father and Mother will agree…

Oh! The best thing that I forgot to write… Hehe… It seems Ethan and Anicia are going to be engaged. I mean, they are verbally engaged but the official announcement will be made at the upcoming banquet. It's great because then Anicia and I will be real sisters!

—July 1—

After the wonderful breakfast, Ethan left for the city. But at night while returning he went through an assassination attempt. Thankfully he's safe. I think he should just stay in the mansion in safety for a few days but he is stubborn. I don't understand why someone would want to harm him. Whoever it deserves to die.

—July 10—

I hear Ethan has quite the reputation among the common folk. His seventh birthday is around the corner but the

the banquet will be most interesting.

—July 11—

I'm going away for a while with my mother. See you later.

—August 4—

Today we modestly celebrated Ethan's seventh birthday.

—September 6th—

The guests are here, today an amazing tournament took place. Many knights had participated and they were all strong. It was fun to watch them battle.

—September 8th—

Today is the banquet. I will write tomorrow about my experiences at the banquet.

—September 9th, The Black Day—

Something terrible happened which has me in shock, I don't wish to write about it. I'm really sad and worried about Ethan as well as Luce. May God Bless Us.
