Chp 76 : Gathering

[Tex : It takes me some time to update your stats, so just calm down. I'll get it done by your bedtime]

[Bedtime?! Are you patronizing me? If you combined my ages I'm already 24! I don't have a bedtime!]

[Tex : Oh yeah? Well your 4 in this body, and I'm your system, your advisor. So you should do as I say unless you want your body to fail you!]

"Sit down" Gale said to Siun with a weird look on his face

"Yes..." Siun replied back

The four of them ate their food without saying a single word

[Are they not going to say anything?]

[Tex : It's polite to not talk while your eating, it's etiquette... your very out of place right now!]

Siun was eating normally, but compared to everyone else he ate like a pig

[...Whatever alright?! They should understand, I'm just a 4 year old!]

[Tex : And Doryu who is 3 is eating with elegance?]

The 4 of them continued eating in silent, the air was filled with tension as the 3 would take turns staring at Siun which made him extremely uncomfortable

"Where's Glen?" Doryu asked after cleaning her mouth with a napkin

The tension in the room grew even thicker as both Alizeh and Gale grew a disgusted face with the mention of Glen

"Who knows? That brat hasn't shown his face since the incident"

[Incident?]

[Tex : Not much is said in the original novel but it is said that he hangs himself before his debut at 6]

[...Are you serious? I-isn't that very soon? It could happen in a few months, he's already 5!]

[Tex : Yes, It's unfortunate]

[We should go save him! Before it's too late!]

[Tex : Worry about that later, right now focus on gaining favor with your future dad!]

"Who knows? That brat hasn't shown his face since the incident"

"You don't have to be so hard on him?" Doryu said "I said we could heal him, but only his physical wounds. Your lucky that he is alive, even if he now has mental problems"

Alizeh sighed with displeasure "What's he so scared of?! He can just get healed again, I don't know what his problem is! He's probably just rebelling!" 

"If it turns out he really can't fly anymore, then how are you going to take responsibility?" Gale butted in with an ominous stare at Doryu

"Don't stare at me like that! Just be grateful he is alive! He could still be somewhat useful to the country, even though he is no longer as valuable he is still extremely fast on the floor!"

"But don't you know how disgraceful is that?!" Gale burst out, banging his hands on the table

The dining room was filled with silence once again and everyone got back to eating their meal

"Whatever, he's not the heir anyways... anyways would you care to explain why this thing is here?" Gale said looking at Siun

"Be polite, from this day onwards he is your son and his mother is Yael, he is part of the main family" Alizeh said

"What?! This is Lyle's kid? Didn't you say she recently passed? I haven't even met her yet! I refuse to except this creature as my son!" Gale said with rage as he stormed out of the dining room and slamming the door

"Never mind that, Seems like both of my kids are rebelling, what an inconvenience" Alizeh said calmly

"B-but won't this cause problems? I'm supposed to be his son after all"

"It's not like he can refuse, The Alliance is at stake and I'm the king"

"Yes..." 

[Tex, I'm not so sure about this anymore...]

[Tex : What's not to be sure of? Your finally part of the royal family, the mission is finally in progress no all you have to do is find Mikhail Curran]
