{Last but not least the summoning tab. This portion of the system is based on loot boxes! You can spend shop points on 3 types of boxes. Humanoids, Animals, Insects. Anything summoned from loot boxes is completely loyal to the host.}
(A/N: humanoids can be anything that's similar to human shape. Like androids/cyborgs, aliens, humans, mutants, etc. Animals are anything from normal animals to Pokémon. Insects are anything from a bee to Beedrill the Pokémon. Give me ideas for other categories. I can't think of anything else.)
{You've completed the tutorial and have been awarded with 'The Starters Pack'. Would you like to open the starters pack?}
'Yes' I think and a screen appears.
{you've been given a Humanoid loot box and 10,000 shop points. Please spend wisely. Would you like to open the Humanoid loot box?}
*knock knock*
As I'm about to open the loot box, I hear a knock at the door. A middle-aged maid walks through the door.
"Your Highness!" She bows, looking slightly surprised. "I see you're feeling better. I'll inform your Royal Mother immediately." She bows again and leaves the room before I can say anything.
Feeling better? Was I sick? Now I remember I got sick after having dinner two nights ago. I ate alone that night because mother was busy, but what's weird is a maid I've never met before brought me my food. Syrin didn't think to much of it at the time, but with a more experienced mind I think I know what happened. Someone poisoned Syrin! I don't know who though. The top suspects are either the sour side of my family(Queen and Crowned Prince) or a rival kingdom. As I'm thinking of this I hear the sound of someone running in the hall.
"My BABY!!!" A beautiful woman with blond hair and red eyes comes flying into the room. She dives onto the bed and holds me while tears stream down her face. This is Astrid Fortis, Syrin's mother or should I say my mother.
"Mom, I'm fine." I say, as she squeezes the life out of me.
"You're not fine! You almost died! None of the doctors could figure out what was wrong with you! Every doctor said you would die, but I knew my baby is strong like his mother." She cried, hysterically.
Oh god, hopefully those doctors are alive. If I know my mother than whoever told her that I may die is in a lot of pain or worse. Don't get me wrong my mother is a kind woman, but when it comes to me she's very protective. If I was poisoned then did my soul entering Syrin's body save his life? This is to complicated. Let's not worry about things that don't matter. What matters now is the future, and if I've been poisoned once I could be poisoned again.
"Mom, I think I know what made me sick." I say after waiting for her to calm down.
"What was it, sweetheart?" She asks.
"Two nights ago we didn't eat dinner together because you were busy. The maid that brought the food was different, so I think the food was bad. Maybe she didn't know how to cook?" I say, looking innocent. I can't say I think I was poisoned I'm only five after all. What I can do is act innocent and push things in the right direction.
"Hmm, do you know the maids' name? We may have to teach her how to cook." She says, as the gears turned in her head and a furious glint appeared in her eye.
"No, but she was young with brown hair and green eyes, and she had a mole on her left cheek." I say, explaining the looks of the maid that brought the food.
"I'll look for her and teach her a good lesson, don't you worry." She says with a smile that doesn't reach her eyes. "From now on mommy will make all of your food so it's not bad anymore."
"Great! Mom's food is the best." I say, as I lie through my teeth. Astrid's cooking is horrible, but at least I know she wouldn't try to poison me. Sometimes sacrifices have to be made.
"Good, now mommy has to go speak to your father. Stay in your room until I get back." Astrid says, as she leaves the room.
I can hear my mother say something outside the door, and then I hear the sound of metal footsteps surround my door. It seems my mother isn't taking any chances and has the Royal Guard keeping watch on my room. I can't summon anyone yet since I don't know if they could hide. It would be awkward if I summon someone with no stealth skills, and they get caught by the knights. I would have no way of explaining where he/she came from. I have to wait for the right opportunity to summon my first servant.
POV Astrid Fortis
'How dare someone poison my son! I bet it was that bitch Liviana (Queen) and her beady-eyed son (Crowned Prince).' Astrid makes her way down the hall towards an ornate door guarded by six Royal Guards. They see the furious look on Astrids face and don't dare to even speak to her let alone stop her. She opens the door and on the other side is a man with red hair and brown eyes. He's sitting behind a desk with stacks of paperwork and a tired look on his face. This is Henry Fortis the King of the Fortis Kingdom. He looks up from his paperwork and sees the furious look in his wife's eyes. He looks worried since Astrid only gets angry when it comes to their son or the Queen and the Crowned Prince.
"What's wrong my love?" He asks.
"Someone poisoned our son!" She says looking furious.
"WHAT!!?? Is that why he's been sick? Is he alright?" He asked with a worried look.
"He's fine now, but I'm going to have the doctor look at him again just to be sure." Astrid says.
"How do you know he's been poisoned?" Henry asks.
"He told me he started getting sick after a maid he didn't know brought him dinner two nights ago. I wasn't eating with him because I had a meeting at the adventurers guild. My sweet boy thinks the maid didn't know how to cook and gave him food poisoning." She explains.
"He was definitely poisoned alright, but of a different variety." Henry surmised. "We should have a doctor look at him just to be sure. Do we know the maid that brought him food?" He asks.
"Yes, I have the guards searching for her already. He didn't know her name though just a description." Astrid says.
"Good" The king rings a bell on his desk, and a man appears by his side. He's dressed in black from head to toe. The only thing descriptive on him is a bird insignia on his clothes.
"Yes, your Majesty." He says in a non-descript voice.
"Are you apprised of what's going on?" The king asks.
"Yes, your Majesty." he says in the same indescribable voice.
"Good, I want the palace and the city shut down. No one leaves until this maid is found. Get all of the Aerie on this as well. If they aren't on a mission of high importance then they are either protecting my son, or looking into his poisoning."
"Yes, your Majesty." He says and disappears to fulfill his orders.
