Where am I?

My... mother?

No, it can't be.

My mom is much more...

I can barely move.

What's going on?

Are those... my stats?

My level's gone back to 1.

And... no name?

Your Majesty.

No need. As you were.

"Your Majesty"?!

What a fine face he has.

His brow resembles yours.

Thank you, Your Majesty.

I believe his mouth looks just like yours.

Is this old man an emperor or something?

What in the world... is happening... to me?

What shall his name be?

Noah. Noah Ararat.

He shall hold the title of Thirteenth Imperial Prince.

Thank you.

Imperial prince?

That's a title given only to the son of an emperor, a noble among nobles!

What is Noah's affinity?

Water, Your Majesty.

Then his fief shall be Almeria, a land where many of the Water Clan reside.

Yes, sire.

Plus?!

What is this? I've never seen values like these!

That's one matter settled.

Cruz, show me his skills.

Yes, sire.

Pardon me, Your Highness.

By the power invested in me by the spirits,

show me this individual's true purpose and disposition.

The value changed.

This can't be... It's so much higher than when he was born...

Does this mean he has already awakened?

Splendid!

I've never heard of anyone reaching SS at that age!

As expected of our emperor's child!

We are witnessing the birth of a man of immense talent!

Whatever the case, I have been granted a new life

and reincarnated as a noble.

Episode 1

Thirteenth Imperial Prince Noah Ararat

Meeres Empire is a nation of warriors nestled in a craggy mountain range.

The capital is situated on an open plain.

As it enjoys its golden age in which wealth begets wealth,

a rich, resplendent culture now blooms in this nation.

Its emperor is the father to over ten sons known as the Imperial Princes,

who are revered and adored by the people as the most renowned of nobles.

Good morning, Prince Noah.

Six years after my reincarnation, I've realized something.

This is how my stats look to everyone else,

Water

Wind

but to me, they look like this.

These are additions made by my subordinates.

Noah Ararat Age 6 Thirteenth Prince

The S added to Water, for example,

came from Almeria, the fief I was granted at birth.

The others came from my maids.

In other words, I can grow stronger by gaining more subordinates.

And my level...

can be raised infinitely, I suppose?

Thank you for your patience.

You look very handsome again today.

Good.

He is remarkable, isn't he?

Most boys his age would be full of mischief, but he is so calm and composed.

Perhaps that is what they call a "regal bearing."

That said, my capabilities are quite limited at age six.

Pardon me.

Evelyn is a beautiful maid who specializes in hospitality.

Evelyn Beautiful Specializes in Hospitality

The Crown Prince and the Fourth Prince have come to visit.

They say you can take your time eating before going to see them.

I most certainly cannot. He's the Crown Prince.

Take me at once.

Good morning, dear brother.

Ah, there you are.

Albert Ararat Age 29 Crown Prince, Second Prince

I had just finished my meal.

Sure, we'll leave it at that.

I see Noah is as courteous as ever.

Henry Ararat Age 21 Fourth Prince

Yes. He'll be a fine chancellor one day.

I will do my best to achieve that.

We have a present for you today.

What is it?

Open it.

N-No! It's going to eat me!

Please! Please spare me!

Please save us, Prince Albert!

What was that?

What do you think?

Nice sword, isn't it?

Y-Yes...

Pick it up.

It's a gift from the Crown Prince.

I can't refuse.

Very well.

Oh? I should have known.

That sword is called Leviathan.

It is a water magic sword known as the strongest in the empire.

Around 120 people have died trying to master it.

That was close! I almost dropped the Crown Prince's gift!

Worry not.

Those not meant to wield it are killed by its curse the moment they lift it.

For most people, just carrying the box is agonizing.

I see. So one with water affinity at level SS can wield it.

This has been a valuable demonstration.

Sorry to interrupt your morning.

That despicable Crown Prince was testing me?

No. If I say that out loud, I'm dead.

Was that wise?

That sword must be priceless.

No matter.

It's better off in the hands of someone as brilliant as him.

Besides...

it's precisely because he's so brilliant

that he needs to experience being bitten by his own precious pet.

Zoey, is something wrong?

You seem unhappy.

F-Forgive me. You needn't worry.

It's all right. Speak.

Then, when you have time later—

Zoey.

The truth is... I'd like to request some time off.

Zoey Age 18 Noah's Personal Maid

Has something happened?

There was a flood in my hometown recently.

The farm where I grew up was washed out,

and my mother, who lives alone, is now out of work.

And... my relatives have told me to work in the red-light district.

They say even I could sell myself as someone who served a prince—

I've heard enough.

Very well. I will employ your mother here at the mansion.

Let's see...

I will put her in charge of locking the rear gate.

I'll pay her ten rean per month.

What? B-But, Master, I've never heard of such a job!

And that is far higher than the standard wage...

There's an unused house in the western outskirts of the capital.

You and your mother can use it.

Thank you!

Continue your work.

Of course!

A former servant of mine working in the red-light district?

If I allow that, I'll sully the title of Thirteenth Prince.

She's my servant, so she will serve me for life.

Dylan.

I am here.

There's been a flood in Zoey's hometown, Dosso.

Are you aware of it?

Yes.

Buy as much of the land there as possible.

What?

There will be villains trying to con people who've lost their livelihoods,

like Zoey's family, out of their fortunes.

Secure them before that happens.

What is it?

Oh, I am merely surprised to see you

handling a situation you've never experienced before with such foresight.

I saw more than my share of it before I reincarnated.

But I can't tell him that.

But how shall I procure the funds?

By my estimate, that would require approximately 700,000 rean.

Seven hun—

Forgive me.

I can't blame her for being surprised.

The average annual income of an adult man in the capital is 120 rean.

Even my own retainers earn eight thousand rean per year.
