This was the first time Lucas saw it with his own eyes. Peter managed to put the ball in the basket, on his tenth attempt after failing to do so.
A smile spread across Lucas' lips, a smile of joy to be exact. But the joy was a little messy, because tears were falling. Peter was like a child who managed to win the battle and get a special prize.
Time passed so quickly that it didn't feel like it was afternoon. At the crossroads, Lucas waved goodbye to Peter. They returned to their respective homes.
Lucas could have asked the driver to pick him up, but he didn't. Walk home. A large house like a palace, a spacious yard and a view of the fountain that was pleasing to the eye. The big fence opened automatically without anyone having to open the gate. But there were seven servants who had welcomed his arrival, standing neatly and welcoming their young master's return.
The servants greeted him in unison, calling him Young Master. The welcome was very lively because Lucas had just returned from playing outside. After that, his mother would greet him with great fanfare.
They asked questions in droves.
"Would Young Master like to take a shower? I'll fix hot water."
"Does the Young Master want to eat? We will prepare it."
"Does Young Master want anything?"
Things like that will be questions when Lucas comes home from playing. It feels good to ask them to get you something you want.
"I want strawberry ice cream with chocolate on top." He said his wishes in the spoiled tone of a ten-year-old, even though he was fiveteen. It didn't take long for Lucas to get what he wanted.
On the other hand, the atmosphere in the house was a bit busy as the servants were busy going back and forth. They seemed very busy and Lucas seemed to have no guilt, eating ice cream on the stairs and watching the busyness before his eyes.
Edward and Karina looked very busy as well. Karina had gone up and down the stairs twice and they really didn't notice that Lucas was sitting on the stairs with a bowl of ice cream under his thigh. Lucas made himself invisible, covering his eyes with his palms.
"Sirius, haven't you seen Lucas?" Karina asked one of the servants.
A tall man, with a beautiful face and jet black hair that flowed sleekly down his shoulders. He looks so charming even as a butler. Lucas sat on the stairs, catching a glimpse of Sirius' brown eyes as they watched him for a moment.
"Young Master came home a few minutes ago, Madam, and asked for ice cream. I thought the young master was hiding," he said quietly, returning to the activities at hand.
Karina was a woman in her early forties, but a natural beauty with beautiful dimples and no wrinkles at all on her face, a sharp nose and bright brown eyes that showed warmth. Karina always wore her long hair simply, revealing sweet bangs that covered her forehead.
Karin went back up to the second floor, looking for him in the room, of course, but she never found Lucas. He was on the stairs and completely invisible.
His father was Edward Mathias, a tall man with a handsome face. But he became even more handsome with a high degree of seriousness when the man looked at the Android tablet in his hand.
"Lucas wasn't in the room. Where did the boy go?" Karina grumbled like most mothers, while she brought a black coat for Edward.
"You know, Karina. Lucas always hides. Later the boy will show up on his own."
Lucas grinned a little. His father knows best that Lucas is playing a prank on them right now. But seeing how busy they looked, Lucas couldn't help but surprise Edward and Karina.
His unexpected appearance, sitting on the stairs, made Karina start and let out a little scream, but not Edward. The man laughed and stroked her head as usual. Karina is still not used to Lucas' uniqueness.
"You always surprise Mom and Dad. But in our eyes you are still a child."
Lucas rolls his eyes and his cheeks blow up like balloons. It feels uncomfortable to still be considered a child by both parents.
"Where are you going?" Lucas asked.
"Winter clothing premiere, famous design by Karina Ou."
"Of course you have to come," Karina said.
As requested. Karina is a famous designer and a world-class clothing designer. Thinking again, what kind of winter clothes has Karina designed?
Meet important people, wear formal clothes. Being polite in front of invited guests, acting like a young master. Once again, Lucas had to suffer through such a formal event.
He wore a black suit with blue sapphire gems on the jacket. Sirius had tried to fix his hair, but it didn't work at all. It was as if something caused his jet black hair to become messy again within a minute. Nothing can be done and let his hair be messy, but with a little unique touch that makes Lucas look more handsome.
They were getting ready to leave in a private car, a black car with wheels that looked like black disks, not perpendicular, but slanted and flat. The car didn't touch the ground but floated in the air, not high, so Lucas, Karina and Edward could easily get in.
Edward and Karina sat in the back seat, while Lucas decided to lean back in the front seat and Sirius would drive the flying car. Slowly, the car they were in rose to a height of one meter and entered the street. Towards evening, the streets looked busy with passing vehicles. The event is being held at the Lunar Luxury Building.
The hustle and bustle of the crowd, the greetings, and the flying cameras that never stopped flashing. Lucas shifted into a calm and cool mode. A young master who is handsome and cold, able to make people's eyes astonished.
Banquets, receptions, entertainment and fashion shows. Lucas was like a child who could escape from Edward and Karin's supervision, but as long as Sirius was with him. Lucas wouldn't just run away. They looked busy and Lucas found formal events like this boring. I really don't like crowds like this.
Lucas himself doesn't mind and remains a good, obedient child who always makes his parents proud. They will continue to talk about business, and Lucas won't want to hear anything about adult business. But Karina was chatting with a beautiful woman who was probably the same age as Karina.
However, the woman had long curly black hair, wore glasses, and had a friendly demeanor but a determined look in her eyes.
Lucas overheard Karina talking to the curly-haired woman, talking about school and her future in further education.
So far, Lucas has not told Karina and Edward that he is different from other children. Lucas has a difference, the difference is in him. Very sure that Lucas is a wizard, even though Karina and Edward are not wizards.
There is one wish, namely to enter the Illois Magic Academy. But it's very uncertain. Lucas hasn't talked about it with his parents while they are busy with the invited guests.
When everyone is so relaxed about the event. Lucas felt his eyes glow, something that made his vision wider, with infinite distance. Lucas could see the people in the building, from the first floor to the twentieth floor. The vision he saw was like a dimensional image.
The event that was inside the building has now moved to the main courtyard, where the 240-meter tower is visible, with sparkling lights that look festive. The event is very grand, with an automatic fireworks display shot into the sky from the tower.
But it wasn't the excitement that made Lucas happy, it was something strange in his eyes. He took out the cell phone that was in his jacket pocket. He saw it very clearly from the reflection of the camera, his blue eyes were different from before. His blue eyes were like jewels that glowed under the bright night moon.
Attending the party as the son of an influential person in this country.
