Family Dinner [3]

Silence descended in the hall and even the armor-clad knights standing there seemed like they wanted to run out of this room.

It was a funny sight. The soldiers of the Morningstar family are feared and revered throughout the world. Yet, those fearsome warriors were scared of what was going to transpire in this room.

Soon, only Lucas' voice reverberated throughout the deafening silence that filled the grandiose dining hall.

"I was forced out of my own home! You are right, Adel. This is indeed your family because I lost mine years ago! I haven't eaten in this dining hall since the day I awakened my mana core! This is the first dinner in years I'm having here!"

Gritting his teeth, Lucas rose from his chair and slowly started walking toward Adel, who looked back at him without a speck of expression on his face.
