I sat on the sofa opposite to my father and mother. Neena was sitting beside me.
"He..he... I heard you were so depressed that you were inside your room for a whole week?"
Of course, it was my old man who asked. I turned my head to the side, trying to ignore that question.
"So son, I thought you were a shy one, where did you get the courage from?"
He was really enjoying it. Even mother seemed to laugh as he continued to tease me. Fine then, they ware really asking for it.
"Oh! I got it from someone who asked the former king for his daughters hand and nearly got beaten up"
Hearing that my father smiled awkwardly, a cold sweat could be seen sliding down his face. Mother was the most affected one. I could see her face flush like a ripen apple.
"How...how..did you know?"
"Who knows, maybe I heard you talking on your sleep"
It wasn't enough. So I turned towards Neena and asked.
"Neena, do you want me to tell you a love story between a duke and a princess?"
"Duke and a princess? Yes"
Seeing my evil smirk, both my parents shuddered in fear. They knew it was dangerous for them to let me talk. Mother glared at father. Father suddenly jumped forward and closed my mouth with his hands.
"Neena, now we have important matter to discuss, I'll tell you the story later"
It was mother who interrupted Neena and me.Neena wasn't that happy. But she agreed.
"Hmph...fine"
"Brat, what do you want??!!"
Father asked me, keeping his awkward smile. Mother was looking at me with killing intend. It was time to stop. Otherwise, I won't be able to manage this woman's wrath. But I noticed father was the who really got scared by mother's look. Deserves it.
"Nothing, I was only getting equal"
"When did you became this much shameless?"
"Well, let's just say it was in my blood"
"...."
.....
"So why did my brother (king) summoned you?"
"It was nothing. Some internal matters"
"Oh! Then it's fine"
One could say mother was really scared of wars. Her husband is the duke and brother is the king. She had so much to lose. Even if she was the princess and a sixth class magician, they never let her in to the battlefield. Not because she was a women. Just because father and and her brother loved her too much.
"Father, brother learned new magic"
Neena cut their conversation halfway.
"Ha...ha...your lazy brother? That was a good joke"
I can't complain, I know father couldn't believe that right away.
"But its true"
Neena wasn't giving up.
"I know you love your brother, but you don't have to lie Neena"
Really? Even mother?
"But...but..."
Neena looked at me with her teary eyes. How could I resist that?
I just waved my hands, the room was now filled with flowers made of water. My parents were already shocked by my magic control. I really liked their expressions. Then I made the flowers freeze with my ice attribute. Seeing me use ice attribute both their jaws dropped to the ground. As they both were in shock. Neena was the only one fully enjoyed the show.
"Did you see? My son used ice attribute"
My mom said with a proud look.
"Yeah.. congrats"
Ice attribute was the speciality of Lancerot family. Alexandria families speciality was fire. That's it made my mother proud and at the same time father a little disappointed.
Maybe, I should give them a heart attack? I scattered my fire attribute all over the room. Making the crystal flowers glow in red. I controlled my ice and fire attribute so the ice won't melt.
Father was already fallen down to his seat. It wasn't uncommon for children to inherit their parents attributes. But I inherited both their attribute. My mother could use ice, water and light attributes and father could use fire, wind, earth attributes. And now I could use fire, ice, water and wind. It was enough to shock anyone to their core.
"You..you can already use three attributes??!!"
Father still couldn't believe his eyes.
"Oh! I can also use wind"
Since they already know this much, there is no point in hiding from them.
"Four...four attributes?!!!"
"Ha...ha...good. Were gonna go to every bastards who boast about their children's talent infront of me"
I only need to guess how much my father endured this whole years, seeing his evil grin. But still, it wasn't the right time.
"Really? You already want to create enemies for your son?"
Father easily understood what I meant. It was easy for to make enemies more than allies.
"Sigh...your right. We need to wait for the right time. It will be more fun that way. Ha...ha... I wonder what will be their expression when the time comes"
Seeing my father laugh like an evil man, my mother and Neena was utterly terrified.
"Mother, is father alright?"
Noona was getting scared by seeing father's behaviour.
"I thik your father is gone mad"
"Cough...cough.... sorry I was just too happy. Never mind"
Father then turned his gaze towards me.
"So, where you hiding your strength?"
How am I supposed to answer that question?
"Ha...ha... never mind the small details"
Seeing that I don't want to answer that question, he decided to let it go. He is not someone who like to pry into others secrets.
"Whatever, today is a big day. Lets celebrate. What do you need as a gift?"
"Oh, just buy me the things in this list"
I gave father the list of things which I needed to make the potion.
"What is it for?"
"You'll know"
Father narrowed his eyes at me for a moment. Then he gave the list to the butler.
He then walked towards Neena and lift her up.
" Come here angel, father missed you"
"Kyaa... let go. Only brother can pick me up"
"...."
She then jumped down and ran towards my embrace. Father was looking towards us with teary eyes and I could see mother trying to console him. Well, it turns out. Neena is still the number one.
