Sweet Tooth

It took a while for them to arrive at their place.

A tall building was soaring in the sky among the others but there was a huge difference which can be felt by looking at it. Only theirs have this many plants planted in it. A luxurious modern building was covered up in many kinds of green plants. It made the passersby unable to walk past it without staring and wondering what kind of building it was.

Even after a year, there was no information except for the building owner in the government record. It was labeled as the most unique building from one of the rich man's properties by some public magazines. 

First dropped the boy in his father's office and left with his shadow.

The first thing the boy did as he arrived was taking off his mask. This action made the heat he felt on the half of his face to cool down in an instance.

His fair skin was revealed along with his features similar to the one looking at him. His light blonde hair has darkened naturally during this year. It matched with the color of his father. With one glance, anyone could tell that they were related.

The only differences between them would be the color of the eyes and the shape of the ears. He did not possess the green color his father has nor the pointy ears which no one in this world has except for his father.

His light blue eyes were probably inherited from his mother who he has never seen before.

Father's mood would turn sour in the past when he asked him about her. Eventually he learnt to make a deal with his father that he had to tell him one thing about his mother every time he accomplished his mission.

The short family conversation rewards he had received so far has set up a certain basic knowledge of his mother and why his father is different from the human.

"You will be enrolled in an elementalist school next week," the blonde man spoke.

"But Father!" he immediately urged.

'Going to elementalist school? What is the use of it if they can't even teach him right?' he sneered at the thought of him going to school and learning from basic again. His expression turned ugly.

"It's not about becoming powerful," the man cut in, "go and learn how to not expose your true emotions, create a circle of friends and figure out how to make use of them."

The boy froze and his lips curved in a smile.

After he had done a report on his mission and gotten what he wanted, he strode away to find First. But to his surprise, First was waiting for him right in front of the door.

He smiled upon seeing the boy. He was waiting for him to ask what name his young master wanted to use it for his school.

"Let's eat something first," the boy told him casually. He hadn't eaten anything for dinner yet so he was starving.

"Is it hungry or hungry hungry?" he teased the boy. First decided that he will ask him about the name after the little master has successfully filled his stomach.

"Obviously it's hungry hun-"

A familiar packaging appeared in his sight before he could finish his words. The boy's eyes lit up, he instantly snatched it from the shadow element which was supporting the packaging to stand in front of him.

Inside the packaging was his favorite sweets, or not why would he recognize the design of the packaging this fast? He and his sweet tooth. The only weakness of his aloof and ruthless personality had always been this.

He opened the packaging cleanly, took out a macaroon and put the whole thing in his mouth. The sweetness of the macaroon from this shop was as if it was baked to his taste. He needed to ask First where the shop was located before something happened to him.

It wasn't that he did not care about him more than the macaroons, he meant for First carrying out oversea missions and left him a month without his favorite macaroons. It affected his mood once during the mission with other apostles, he accidentally killed someone who they needed to bring back alive.

It took the boy a few minutes to finish off his dessert. First waited patiently while he followed him along to the direction of the boy's room. As he saw nothing was left in it, he took the packaging back into his shadow.

"So…what is that you have been waiting to tell? Even bringing the desserts to bribe me," the boy asked First.

The way he communicates with first was carefree as if they were best friends. First was his nanny, his teacher, his audience. He has looked after him more than his own father.

First laughed softly at the words of the boy and replied, "It's another oversea mission, before leaving, master ordered to make young master a new identity. There won't be any impact even if a young master wants to use your own name, the main reason for it is about registering your element."

The boy frowned. Not because of the identity stuff but because of the oversea mission. It didn't take long for his thoughts to happen.

He quickly reacted, "Just leave it Austin Sylas, compatible with plant elements and where did you get the macaroons?"

"Pardon?"
