Master?

The past couple of years that went by were busy. I ended up with a sibling a couple months after my second birthday. His name is Oswald and is the cutest little brother I could ask for. He follows me everywhere, always fascinated in what I am doing, practically worshipping the ground I step on.

His mother, Dena, who is an elf, scolds him every once in a while because sometimes he comes in and disrupts my lessons that my father has set up for me. Dena and Daisy, Hayden's 3rd and second wife, have been getting treated worse and worse as time goes on after Oswald's birth.

Apparently Mildred has gotten jealous and has gotten completely ballistic. She has been harassing the 2 other wives and been threatening to get them killed. I ended up deciding that after I complete my revenge I will take Oswald with me and take care of him making sure my family doesn't do anything to him.

I have also started taking classes after my father saw how smart I was. At first it just started with reading and writing, then it went to basic math. But recently I have been learning different prices of monster hide and crystals to know when someone is trying to trick you into a deal or taking advantage of you in a deal.

Apparently my father has his eyes set on me taking over the company but I feel like it is too soon to teach some of these things to a kid. Well it doesn't matter to me, if anything this is going to help me when I become an adventurer to make sure I am getting the right price when defeating monsters and buying equipment.

Waking up, I get out of bed and head to the bathroom. Washing my face and brushing my teeth I look into the mirror. What I see in front of me is a young boy around the age of 5 with black long hair that goes to the middle of my back, with soft features, greyish blue eyes. I was wearing a navy blue vest over a white shirt and black pants with black shoes.

Tying my hair up to a high ponytail I head down stairs. As I descended the stairs I was getting annoyed with my hair flowing every time I took a step but I didn't let it show on my face. I never like having long hair but my 'mother' loves me to have long hair, so I just have to act like I love it for a couple more years before I can cut it.

Arriving downstairs I head to the dining room. I passed some maids and butlers on my way, I greeted each and every one of them showing respect to them. When I reached the dining room I saw that everyone was already there waiting for me.

A Dwarf with orange hair that was fading and a beard coming down to his mid chest. He had blue eyes, he was a little overweight and dressed in expensive noble clothing that fit him snuggly sat at the head of the table. To his right a human woman with black hair coming down her mid back, and she has emerald eyes. The woman had a nice figure for someone her age, she was also wearing an elegant white dress that accentuated her curves.

To the dwarfs left sat a female dwarf, with brown hair braided coming to her shoulder blades, she had orange eyes. She had a bit of a stocky figure, and wore a white blouse and brown trousers with some suit on it. To the female dwarfs left a female elf with platinum hair coming to her shoulders, she had piercing blue eyes, a modest figure, and was wearing a green shirt with blue jeans.

And lastly to the female elfs left was a little half elf boy looking to be the age of three. He had orange hair, and piercing blue eyes. He was wearing a white dress up shirt with navy blue path. Saying the names in order I was the people I say.

"Good morning Father, Mother, Daisy, Dena, Little Brother." I said bowing to each of them. Then pull a chair out next to my 'mother' and sit down.

"Good morning, Grey. It's good to see you this morning. Do you by any chance know what today is?" My father said quizzically. He always does this every morning, seeing if I know if today is an important day or not. If I get it wrong I will get 'told' what is so important about the day. And what I mean by being told I mean getting beat.

"Of course Father, today is my birthday. It is also the day where you have an important meeting with a retired adventurer about some business and the beginning of the 573rd annual auction." I said almost immediately making sure I didn't miss anything.

"Correct as always Grey. Now let's eat and then we can give you your presents before you head to your classes Grey. And Oz, you will start your classes soon too so get used to having less time to play and hanging out with your brother." My father said with a proud tone at first then turned into a warning tone when speaking to my brother.

Finishing eating my breakfast, I waited patiently for the rest of my family to finish. After a couple more minutes my family finished and my father cleared his throat to get our attention before starting to speak.

"So, this year you will only get 2 presents. It actually has to deal with what the plans for today are. The first present is the retired A+ rank adventurer, he is known to be the best swordsman alive and he will teach you swordsmanship. This is to help you protect yourself so when you go out you can protect yourself and to not rely on guards being to protect you every time. For the second present, before the auction starts you will be able to pick any 1 item from the collection we are selling." My father said with a haughty tone.

"I understand Father, these are great gifts and more than enough. I hope I can make you proud with my training with the retired adventurer." I said respectively, while thinking. 'Yes! Getting to meet the best swordsman alive is a huge benefit to me. I don't have the best mastery of the sword so hopefully by training with this adventurer I can increase my sword technique.'
