Taking a seat next to his mother, he was served with delicious food that was brought in by a maid.
"We will be having a gathering here tomorrow, Leo. There will be many important guests coming home," Mrs Carmichael stated cutting her knife through the meat on her plate to a thin slice.
"Important?" asked Leonard.
"Yes, darling. Few of the councilmen, the Lord himself and few of our...relatives," at that, Leonard turned to his mother, "When I say, relatives, I mean our cousins, your cousins."
"Will grandpa and grandma be joining us?" he asked her.
"No, they won't be. Both grandpa and grandma have to visit Uncle Patrick who lives in Valeria but they did tell to drop by on their way back home. Leo when I said about cousins, I believe you understand what I mean..."
"It is not I who starts the fight," the boy turned back to his food, keeping his eyes down while continuing to eat.
