Six months.
Lucas felt like his ears were ringing as he processed his father's words. He knew that he would eventually have to go. All his brothers went, even Jason who was not doing anything related to business had to do it.
In both their cases they did an intensive course that they completed in a year, of course, they had to give up the holidays they got in between terms and Jason was on a hiatus when it was his turn.
He had tried to resist their father with the argument that he already did his degree and it wasn't necessary for him to get a master's degree as he wouldn't use that degree when he is singing or acting. Their father did not budge, and their mother acted like she did not know what was going on.
Jason thought he just had to convince their father until his manager didn't show up to take him to his schedules the following day. He then found out that James had halted all his activities and he could only resume once he finished his studies.
