It's already been Five years and last week I just turn Five years old.
"Arius!! Time to eat!!!!" yell by Ellie
"Coming!!!!" Arius answered
He came out of his room and immediately come down stairs, after coming down he ran inside the dining area to get ready to eat.
"Good morning Untie Ellie!!! and Good morning Everyone!!!!" he said while giving Ellie and the other kids a hug.
"Morning!!!!" said by the three pigs ah... I mean said by the three other guys that is also incharge of the orphanage that works with Ellie.
(Tch! can't believe it they still have energy to come here and eat after they use the money of the orphanage that is supposed to be for us but they use it to buy alcohol and enjoy themselves in the pub with a bunch of girls!! while leaving Ellie alone with a little money and taking care of us as well) Arius said in his mind with a grumpy face staring at the three guys that also work at the orphanage.
After finishing eating.....
*Knock!!! Knock!!!* they hear a knocking sound from the door but they don't remember expecting anyone for that day.
"Coming!!" said by Ellie and immediately ran towards the door to look who it is.
"Who could it be?" Arius said in his mind while playing with the other kids.
"Oh My God Duke why are you suddenly here?" flustered by Ellie while looking at the man in front of the door.
"Why? am I not allowed to be here?" said by the man outside the door with a cold voice.
"Of course you're allowed to be here Duke Nyx, Please come in" said by the one of the three guys with a brown hair while pushing aside forcefully Ellie.
(Duke Nyx? the head of the second strongest family in the whole empire and infamous for being an assassin? why in the world is he here!!?) Arius said in his mind and immediately ran out of the play room and ran towards the door in the living room to listen to Duke, Ellie and the other guys conversation.
The Play room is in the first floor next to another room and next to that room is the living room where the Duke and the others are having a conversation.
"But Duke what brings you here"
"That's right Duke what can we do for you?" said by the other two guys.
"I'm here for adoption" said by the Duke coldly.
Ellie and the three guys was shock after hearing what the Duke said.
"ADOPTION!!?? is he crazy no child will want to be his child even if his wealthy!!!!" Arius said in his mind while listening in their conversation.
"D-Duke what do you mean?" said by Ellie.
"Duke y-you already have five sons"
"T-That's right"
"W-What do you need for another one Duke?" said by the three guys nervously.
"Why? can't I have another one besides I'm wealthy enough to give whatever the child needs" said by the Duke with a cold voice and a cold stare.
"Alright Duke we'll do what you want" said by Ellie.
"But Duke you know you have to pay us a high price"
"That's right Duke" said by the three guys with a very happy face.
"Alright name your price" said by the Duke.
"How about 900 gold Duke?" said by one of the guys.
"Alright. Claude give them the money" said by the Duke.
"As you wish Duke" said by the man sitting beside the Duke which is his personal Assistant.
The man immediately gave the money to the three guys that works with Elli and sitting besides her.
"Now give me the list of the children and I want to meet each of them" said by the Duke.
"Ellie! go get the list!!" said by one of the three guys.
"Yes!! Yes!! I'll get it immediately" said by Ellie hurriedly.
"Yikes I need to go back to the playroom" Arius whispered after knowing that Ellie is about to came out of the room, Arius immediately ran back to the play room.
Ellie immediately ran to the second floor to go to one of the guys room to look for the list.
After a while she was able to find the list and immediately ran down the stairs again to hand over the list to the Duke.
"Duke this the list of the children here" said by Ellie while panting.
"Alright. did you guys list all the children here?" ask by the Duke while looking at them coldly.
"Yes Duke, of course we did" said by one of the three guys nervously.
"Now bring me the children in the list one by one" said by the Duke.
"A-Alright but Duke where should we start?" said by one of the guy.
"Let's start with the girls" said by the Duke with a serious face.
"Alright then"
"Ellie go get the first children in the list of the girls one by one" said by the three guys.
"alright" said by Ellie.
Ellie immediately ran to the play room where every children is playing.
"Girls I want you to get in line we have a very important guest that want's to see you and maybe one of you became his child!!! Boys you guys as well get in line if the Duke wasn't able to like to adopt any of the girls maybe one of you" Ellie said happily.
"Yay!!!" said by the children happily.
'Hah! yay you say? let see if you guys can still have a happy face after meeting the Duke!!' Arius said in his mind while standing at the back of the line.
After telling to the children to get in line, Ellie immediately carry the child n the front of the girls line.
After a while, seven children already came out of the living room crying as if it's the end of the world and immediately ran to the second floor to go to their room that's when everyone in the girls line and boys line started to get scared to the point Ellie has to force them to go inside of the living room with her, everyone in the girls line came out of the living room crying and now it's the boys turn and everyone in the boys line also came out of the living room crying.
Inside the living room.
"Looks like that's all the children" said by the Duke to break the silence because everyone was shock after seeing the Duke made every children of the orphanage cry.
"Um... excuse me but I'm still here I'm the last child though" Arius said while standing at the door.
"What?" said by the Duke and look coldly at three guys.
"You guys said you put every children in the list then why is their another child?" said by the Duke with a bit of irritation.
"Duke the child that we saw earlier is the last one, that child is not in the list at all" said by the Duke's assistant calmly.
"How dare a mere orphanage worker like you guys try to fool me!?" said by the Duke with anger.
"D-Duke we didn't fool you" said by one of the three guys nervously.
"THEN WHAT DO YOU CALL THIS!!?? WHY IS THAT CHILD'S NAME NOT IN THE LIST!!!???" said by the Duke while about to take out his sword with much anger.
"D-Duke p.... please believe us we didn't really f-fool you"
"T-That's right"
"P-Please b-believe us Duke" said by the three guys nervously.
"D-Duke I'm sorry to tell you this late but t-their lying, they really didn't put Arius name in the list b-because they believe that Arius is a curse because of how he look a-and there is nothing I-I can do" said by Ellie nervously while hugging Arius tightly.
"HOW DARE YOU PEOPLE THINK OF A CHILD AS A CURSE, WHY DON'T YOU GUYS TRY TO LOOK IN THE MIRROR FIRST BEFORE CRITIZISING SOMEONE ELSE!!!" said by the Duke angrily and looking at them with disgust.
"Duke please forgive u-us" said by the thee guys with a bit of shame.
"Hah!! I guess people now days always say a sorry with empty words well whatever I'll just adopt him" said by the duke with a smirk in the face.
"But Duke you-"
"What? are you planning on stopping me?" said by the Duke and immediately gave the three guys with a cold stare.
"N-No" said by one of the three guys with a bit of irritation.
"Alright were settled I'm going to adopt him" said by the Duke while walking towards Arius.
When Ellie notice that the Duke is coming towards Arius, Ellie immediately let go of Arius and take a step back.
"Kid what's your name?" ask by the Duke
"Arius. They call me Arius" answered by Arius.
"Alright. your name is good it means Immortal I guess I don't need to change it"
"From now on your Arius Nyx" said by the Duke with a bit of smirk on his face.
"Uh..... I didn't mean to be adopted by him"
"what are they planning to do with a five year old like me? and why did they adopt me in the first place if the Nyx Family has 5 sons and all of them are well trained assassins and famous for their own talent." Arius said in his mind with a bit of worry.
"Alright were settled now we'll get going now" said by the Duke with coldness.
"Wait I still have to pack my things!!" Arius said when the Duke came out of the orphanage with the others to ride the carriage and to send him off with Arius.
The Duke Immediately came of the carriage when he heard what Arius said.
"There's no need, I'll just buy you things that you want and you need you don't have to bring them with you but if your going to bring them, then I will burn them once we get to the estate" said by the Duke with a serious face.
"Um... if you say so" Arius said while looking down because he was a bit shy.
'Uh.... I can't believe I'm going to ride a carriage' Arius said in his mind
"Then let's go, don't just stand their like a statue and get in here" said by the Duke while looking at Arius who's still standing in front of the door of the carriage.
Arius hurriedly get inside of the carriage and relax himself.
"sorry I was lost in thought" Arius said boldly.
"Hah!! and what kind of thought does a kid like you has!?" said by the Duke with smirk in his face.
"Duke are you perhaps-"
"That's right kid I told my assistant and my underlings to investigate the orphanage thoroughly that's why I'm leaving them here to take care of everything because I have my suspicions that their doing illegal things except for that girl I guess..... since looks like the the children of the orphanage is relax around her unlike around those three pigs looks like the kids is scared of them" said b the Duke seriously.
"Alright I will tell you all I know but don't hurt untie Ellie and the other kids" said by Arius while looking serous as well.
"Hoho.... alright tell me all you know once we get to the estate and I won't touch a single strand of hair of your untie Ellie and the kids" said by the Duke staring at Arius with Interest.
'Heh~ this kid sure is interesting, I knew my eyes will never fool me' said by the Duke in his mind while smiling a bit.
when the Duke's assistant and the underlings that the Duke bring with him saw him smiling they felt goosebumps all over their body because it their first time seeing the Duke smile like that.
'THE DUKE'S SMILE IS CREEPY, IS TOMORROW THE END OF THE WORLD!!??' said by the Duke's assistant and the Duke's underlings in their mind.
when the carriage started moving Arius look at the window to say goodbye to the others.
