Chapter 8

I was enjoying my sleep when I felt a sudden discomfort like someone was starting holes on my face, so opened my eyes and saw Luca inches away from my face.

I screamed in surprise but all he did was laugh at my shocked face and say “oh you woke just in time before I was about to give you the Luca special good morning” before I could say anything he made his retreat so all I could do was glare at his back.

After recovering from Luca's special good morning I went to take a bath which after I went to have breakfast with everyone, going out I met Lizzy and Miles who was one of the members of the guild I met yesterday he was the definition of buff, he was tall and big but surprisingly nice.

After exchanging good mornings we made our way to have breakfast but I was being carried by Miles since it was hard for me to keep up not that I’m complaining.

When we arrived at breakfast, I greeted the rest of the crew and we began eating the food was prepared by Luca and it’s delicious good enough for me to forgive him for earlier.

After breakfast I was getting ready to depart after saying my goodbyes to everyone I join Lizzy and Miles who were waiting outside the carriage after getting in I waved my final good bye to the but shook my head at Luca who was wiping away his fake tears, as the carriage moved they are made their way inside after telling me to not to forget them a visit them.

The carriage ride was long and I had a lot on my mind, I don’t know what to expect or how they would react to seeing me and the fact that those bastards up there have been quite for a long time just adds up to my anxiety.

Lizzy told me that my father was waiting to see me but since a lot of people have been claiming to be me I’ll have to pass an identity test, since we still had a long way to go I wanted to sleep a little.

I felt myself being carried so I woke up to see I was being carried by an old man with gray hair and brown eyes he wore a single chip glass on his right eye, when he noticed I was awake he said “oh dear I didn’t mean to wake you up but since your awake I’ll bring you to your room so you can rest up while Dame Elizabeth talks to the Duke” after saying that it wasn’t long before we entered a room but there were two little kids waiting inside.

“First young Lord and young lady why are you here when you should be in class now your tutor might be looking for you” he said to my siblings who we’re looking at me like a new toy, once the old man drop me on the floor they rushed at dragging me to the bed then squeezing me in a hug.

After a while the older boy spoke up “ we have been waiting for you little brother” he had tears in his eyes and the girl was already crying even when the old man was trying to calm them down they were still crying. I was surprised by the situation but it was a great chance to get closer to them so used my hands to wipe their eyes and told them to not cry and that I was here now.

Because of all the noise some maids came to take them away even after they protested they were still taken out of the room. One of the maids whispered something to the old man before leaving the room, then he turned to me and said “ the Duke wants to see you for the ceremony come with me I’ll take you there” I walked over to him then he carried me in his arms as we departed the room.

We arrived in front of a large gold double door, the old man put me down and then knocked on the door and said “my Lord it’s Oliver” after saying that we heard a come in from the other side of the room. When we entered inside I could feel the pressure coming from tall man with black hair and golden eyes like mine so I guess he must be the Duke, he stood in front of a table with two bowls on it and on the other side of the table Lizzy and Miles stood with a nervous look on their faces but we’re trying to hide it as to not make me nervous.

Their was a priest who stood in the middle of the table he explained how the test would work he said he would pour holy water in the bowl and both me and the Duke are to pour some of our blood in the water since the Drakos family blood doesn’t mix with holy water it will float but does without the family blood would mix with the water.

The Duke looked at me with a small smile and said “ I really hope this result is positive but if not non of you will not be living there alive” based on the looks on everyone’s faces the Duke wasn’t tell a joke.

After that the priest poured the water in the bowl and said we should pour a drop of blood in, the Duke took a dagger and cut his palms letting his blood drip into the blow and like the priest said it didn’t mix with the water after the priest heal him.

Next it was my turn so the old man took the dagger and slit my palm a little and when my blood dropped on the blow the results shocked everyone.
