Earning impression points

" Prepare breakfast first and bathe later. Tell my lord father that I want to visit him today and ask him at which time I should come." Layla was surprised after hearing his reply. She knew that tClaude knew about his real situation that's why he was avoiding meeting other members of the family. But today he himself wanted to meet his step father which was the reason behind her surprise. At the same time she was happy, she knew nothing good comes from hating and avoiding people.

" Yes, young master Claude." She said leaving the room to get breakfast.

' ….At least try to improve your relationship with your mother…...'

These words kept echoing in Claude's head. While stare outside the window of his room. It was not raining but there were still rainy clouds and atmosphere.

After having his breakfast and bath Claude was currently wearing shorts and shirt with a small beret cap. The shorts were in black colour and his shirt was pure white like his hair. The cap was black in colour. All in all he looked like a cute angel descended from heaven's in the world of impure mortals.

" You look sooo cute, young master Claude." Layla squealed from behind with sparkly eyes and a silly but wide smile.

" Did you ask lord father ?" Claude who has been in this body for quite some time now was used to this behaviour.

" Yes, Sir Ares said you can visit him anytime you want. Today he is just going to do paperwork so he will only be leaving the house if an emergency arises." She replied with a small smile and a perfect posture. Just like a maid waiting for her master's order.

" Fine, I'll visit him myself. You can go and continue your work." He said, turning and looking at her with a smile. He was currently grooming himself while looking in the window.

" Yes, young master Claude." She said and left the room.

Before Layla can leave the room Claude sended a small portion of mana in towards his eyes and activated what he called as mana eyes. He stared at Layla and saw a light pink coloured mana core. According to this Layla was not a mage and she also had not trained for being a ranker. Though most of this Claude was within the expectations of Claude, what Claude wanted to check the most was the shade of pink. According to Claude's guess, the deeper and darker the shade of pink means that a person is not healthy, weak or suffering from malnutrition or some kind of sickness. The deeper the colour is, the closer that person is to death as gray is the core of the dead person.

Seeing that Layla is healthy and not suffering from anything Claude sighed in relief. The first time Claude activated mana eyes he got a sharp headache. His so-called father didn't tell him that he should send a small amount of mana and focus on a certain thing. Maybe because Claude's father has already mastered it he forgot to tell Claude but through this Claude experienced something that information is necessary but you need what is called as experience to master something.

After he felt that he was ready he went to the first floor and stood in front of his office. As expected there were two different mana signatures in the office. This was the reason why he sended Layla to inform his lord father. He was expecting a certain someone to be present there with his father.

He first knocked on the door and waited for permission to enter.

" Come in! " He heard Ares's stern voice from the other side of the door.

When he entered the room he saw Ares sitting on his office table wearing glasses. Ares didn't even pay attention to Claude and kept doing his work as he had already sensed Claude before entering the room.

Along with Claude there was another woman who was sitting in a nearby chair. She was a woman in her late twenties, around 5'8(178 cm) a bit taller than the average woman. She had light brown hair tied in a bun. She had black eyes. But the most noticeable thing about her was that ginormous bust. If Claude's guess was right then it was G cup. She was wearing a noble cream-colored dress and she had a tea cup in her hands. She reminded Claude of the ancient noble English women from his past life. She looked at Claude with sharp eyes but they were not filled with any hatred. They were just checking him out.

This woman was Ellen, Ares's first wife and Claude's step mother. Claude was expecting her to be present in the office after hearing that I was going to meet Ares. After all, nobody knew that Claude had already visited Ares once in his office so for everyone it was the first time that Claude had come to meet his step father. She came just to know the reason behind Claude's visit.

" Good morning lord father, Good morning lord mother."

Claude said bowing in both Ares and Ellen's direction. He stared at Ellen for a few seconds, noticing his gaze Ellen looked but she saw a beautiful, cute and charming smile on Claude which made him look like a little angel with his perfect attire. This caused even Ellen's heart to flutter and a slight rosy colour appear on her cheeks. Claude calling her 'lord mother' also worked akin to a charm.

" Good morning, it's already evening boy." Ares said while throwing a glance with a small smile and continuing his work.

" Haha, sorry for that. I woke up a little late today and decided to come here after getting ready." Claude said with a sorry smile and his cheeks red with embarrassment, which earned him some more points from Ellen.

" So, what is the reason behind your visit today ?" Ares asked, finally putting down his quill.

" Well, I was here to ask for the species encyclopaedia and….." He paused a bit.

" And ?" Ares asked while sipping his tea from his teacup.

"... I want to meet my mother." He finally said.

Ares sprayed the tea in his mouth while Ellen's eyes widened for both Claude's sentence and her husband's behaviour.

Well, for other people their behaviour might seem weird but for the people who know the situation of this family even that person might have been shocked. After all, everyone in the house knew Claude's behaviour towards his family. He simply avoided meeting his own family and rarely used to come out from his room. He most specifically avoided his mother, you can also say that he himself has seen his mother only a few times which were countable by fingers. Now this boy comes into the office of his step father while looking like a perfect child of anoble and suddenly asks to meet his mother. For the people of the manor it was as simple as saying ' Did the sun rise from the West today ? '
