Dinner (1)

As I excited the library and started navigating the corridors, I ended up in front of a tall door leading to the dining room. I pushed the door.

It was a large room with a grandiose, hard-wood table surrounded by many chairs of various size.

What attracted my attention was the tall chair at the end of the rectangular table. On it was my father, Theodore, who was talking with the rest of the family.

On his right, there was my mother, Melinda. She was a women of medium height with the same red hair as the rest of the family. She was also wearing a nightgown of the same color as her hair.

At the left of my father was my brother, Ryan. The two were wearing formal clothes and were leisurely talking to each other while my sister and my mother were listening to the most recent adventures of my brother.

'Ugh, he is probably going to go into to many details again; why are his description always so vivid...'

"Oh, look who is here;" said Ryan, looking with soft eyes at me.

The rest of the family quickly greeted me before I went to the seat at the right of my brother. Once i sat down on my chair, my father said:

"Now that everyone is here, we can start eating the dishes that our chefs have made for us"

As he pronounced this sentence, a couple of servants wearing classic maid and butler uniforms started placing a lot of dishes on the table.

After eating a bit, I finished listening to my brother speaking about his daily life and how it went. I then started speaking to my family about my plans for the future.

"Mom, Dad, is it possible for me to become a mage?" I asked with a gaze filled with hesitation.

My father looked at me hesitantly for a bit before saying:

"Sure, but you must be sure that this is the path that you want to walk down. After all, even for us, it is quite costly to raise a mage to a decent level. However we will support you to the best of our abilities."

At the end of his sentence, I looked at him with a gaze filled with gratitude.

"Thanks dad, I promise that i will become an excellent mage and support the family territory like big brother and big sister."

He then looked at me.

"However, you will have to wait for a bit. Your anniversary is in a few mounths, and as it is your twelfth, you will awaken your mana core. Until then, make sure to prepare to meet your tutor by learning about the basis of magic theory."

After this brief interaction, I thus decided to go back to the library tomorrow in order to learn a bit about magic.

AN: I will try to knock up the publishing speed by a notch, therefore putting my publication speed back at 2 chapters per day; new chapter in a little while (18:00(GMT+2))
