God's Apostle: Rebirth of a Lazy Genius

?'Why do you want to kill me, uncle?' After that day, Ethan would think to himself all the time. He simply could not find any reason why his uncle would want to kill him.

Ethan had a few ideas as to why that might be but things weren't quite adding up. He needed more information to fill up the holes in the theory he had formed from the basic observations and all he knew of human nature.

He was not able to sleep in peace whenever he thought that his uncle was out to kill him. He was getting paranoid because as a baby, he wouldn't even be able to resist if someone made an attempt on his life.

But as days went by, he found himself wondering why wasn't he dead yet. His uncle seemed to have given up or at least there was something that was keeping him from doing the deed. But Ethan was always alert and kept watching everything around him for any loose ends.

His paranoia was very much affecting his behavior as a baby and from the outside perspective, Ethan seemed to get duller and duller each day which worried his family to no end.

As a baby, he had less energy to begin with, and on top of that, he had to look for any threats or inconsistencies around him constantly while also slowly adapting to the new world and its customs. This took a lot of toll on his body and as he refused to drink breast milk which was most necessary for his early growth made him even more vulnerable. All of this resulted in him being asleep for most of the day.

One day, Ethan was pondering over this matter while lying in the cradle as he stared at the ceiling.

'I must do something to ease my mind... I cannot live in constant fear.' He thought feeling a huge headache.

'Damnit! I was supposed to chill out as a freeloader and do nothing. Why do I have to deal with this? I'm too young to handle all this shit!' He thought further. Ethan truly seemed to be going crazy as he was starting to think he was a baby forgetting that babies wouldn't think this way, to begin with.

After pondering for a while, his eyes finally shimmered as he got an idea. 'Haah! Why didn't I think of this before?' He thought and vigorously shook his limbs with joy.

The next day when Ethan was with Aisha, he held her tightly not letting go at all costs. If he was forced to let go, he would create a massive ruckus. Basically, he created a huge commotion when he was left alone.

Aisha was thus forced to be with him all the time. And for nights, he forced himself to be awake for a few days and scream loudly whenever Aisha left him in his room and went to 'spend time' with his Father. 𝐟r𝒆ℯ𝘄𝑒𝒃𝚗𝒐𝘃e𝗹.c𝘰𝐦

Albaer would have never imagined that the reason he wasn't getting any action those days was because of his son's scheme.

But he was quite the persistent fella as he suggested that Ethan sleep with the both of them from then on in their master bedroom.

Ethan had absolutely no interest in witnessing his parents do the 'activity' as he wasn't like a certain someone from a certain light novel and anime from the earth.

(PS - guess who? >?.?<)

'Old man, see how this Young Master makes your life miserable.' Ethan thought wickedly.

Both Aisha and Albaer noticed that strangely so, Ethan would start making a fuss whenever the both of them got a bit too lovey-dovey. Albaer was endlessly frustrated as all his plans were getting foiled and so he gave up entirely.

Ethan's paranoia gradually decreased as days passed. Him being not alone had almost become a common practice in the mansion because of his handy work. When Aisha absolutely had to go somewhere, Either Naenna, Shirin, or his Grandparents would be with him.

The servants had given him another moniker of 'Mama's Boy' along with other such nicknames since it seemed like he always needed the company of his mother.

Ethan was absolutely not happy about it but he couldn't do anything even if he wanted to as it was a necessary thing for him if he desired to sleep peacefully without the fear of being killed.

This little trick of his didn't guarantee his safety entirely but Ethan figured that his uncle wouldn't act in the open to assassinate him anyways and it was more of a psychological thing to have peace of mind.

Just like this, more than three months had passed since he was born and life was going rather... Interesting.

The language in the Atrana Kingdom was called Atrenese. Ethan also picked up on some of the words of this language of the world he was in. It wasn't much as he didn't get many opportunities to look at the written texts of the language but he was slowly getting accustomed to his new surrounding.

He also made a general profile of every servant he was in contact, with and his family members in his head. This profile consisted of their basic personalities and behaviors.

His uncle was of course the most mysterious and unknown of all of them as Ethan knew nothing of his motives, aspirations, and his personality. The face he showed everyone that was full of pleasant smiles and kindness was obviously a farce and he doubted that anyone other than him knew the truth. For now, it was a mystery to him as to what Alier would gain by killing the youngest child of his brother.

Ethan was most interested to know more about Shirin as from the little contact he had with him, he seemed to be in a constant dilemma with himself about something. Ethan also wanted to know more about his story as only his profile was rather complicated than everyone else as Ethan had figured out that Shirin was his half-brother.
