Chapter 7

There must be a misunderstanding, that pig mark couldn't have lied to me right?. I decided to just go with it and told the lady "miss you might be mistaken I am their child I'm sure of it" I said with full conviction with hopes she believes me because I'm so tried of this whole thing.

She says to me "dear I really want to believe you but there has been countless times people bring their children posing as the Duke's lost child, even if I believe you we need to prove it when we face the Duke" I understand what she says but how do I prove that.

I was thinking of ways to prove my identity when my stomach decided to embarrass me my growling loudly announcing it's situation, the lady laughed at my embarrassed face and then called one of her men to prepare for dinner and some clothes for me.

I was told to take a bath before dinner so I was lead into a bedroom and a new set of clothes were on the bed so after the man left I striped and rushed to the bathroom ahhhhhh finally I can bath with soap, went inside the tube filled with water and took a bath twice.

Finally filling clean I wiped down my body with a clean towel then rapped the towel round my waist, I might be a demon but I know the importance of being clean.

When I stepped out of the bathroom I saw the lady sitting on the bed waiting for me which surprised me so I said " oh miss your here I wasn't expecting you to wait for me" she looked at me and smiled before saying "come dear don't be formal with me just call me Lizzy and you look cuter after washing up I could just eat you up" she said that while pinching my cheeks.

If not for the fact that she helped me I would have cut off her hands for pinching my cheeks but I'm going to let this slide this once. As I was about to put on my shirt Lizzy noticed something on my chest and said "we've found proof that you are from the Drakos family, why didn't you tell me about this kid" she was talking about the dragon mark on my left chest.

I had forgotten about that with all that was going on in my head but Lizzy explained how important it was because it showed I was the successor of the family guardian beast which was a dragon and the my father who was the previous successor had a similar mark.

After explaining everything I got dressed and followed Lizzy to the dinning area. On getting there I found that there we're people waiting for us on the dinning table, some face were new and some I had seen upstairs but the one who caught my attention was the bartender from before who was also looking at me.

He said "well if it isn't the little brat from before who outsmarted me to think I'd be tricked by a kid and I'm Luca by the way" he said with a grin on his face but I was too busy stuffing my face with food to reply to him which made everyone laugh.

Everyone had introduced their self and their roles in the guild, their we're five men and four women Lizzy included they were all like a family it felt warm, this was a feeling I've felt before with people who were also like family thinking about it makes my heart clench.

Lizzy seemed to have noticed my sad expression so she said "don't worry kid you'll be with your family by tomorrow I promise" I only gave a small smile in reply.

Dinner went by with me stuffing my face with food, everyone one talking about their stories and I found out that Lizzy and Luca we're married we also laughed at Luca's terrible jokes, it was noisy but also comfortable and happy. They were a fearsome guild to others but they treated each other like family.

After dinner Lizzy still gave me more information about my family like our status in society, that I have two older siblings a brother and sister and also that my mother had been of poor health after she found out that her child died and that had made the whole family unhappy for years now after saying all that she decided to leave me to rest up for tomorrow.

I didn't care about before about them as long as I had food and shelter, I could care less about them I just wanted to get my powers back so I can get my revenge but I don't think it would be so bad if I considered them to be family.

The word family what does it mean to me maybe something I never had from the start or something that was taken from me before I could appreciate it either way I just hope this family will help me experience what it means, with these thoughts on my mind I drifted off to sleep.
