Time To Start Acting
I walked down to the dinning area and I sat close to my cousin (Dibrin krain Amstar) whom the previous body owner got along with, "this grandson greets grandfather, first uncle, second uncle, father, first aunty, second aunty, and mother"
I greeted bowing my head a little, to all the elders to show respect, and then I looked at the dinner on the table to know what kind of food was served for dinner, what kind of food was there in this era or world. dumplings, shrimps, soup made with veggies, carrots, green peas, a bowl of rice and other side dishes, unfortunately I was to eat with a set of chopsticks, which I cannot use by the way, but thankfully their is a spoon made of wood on the table which is specifically made for eating the soup and bowl of rice,
when I looked up I noticed that everyone was looking at me with strange gazes, I was shocked did I reveal too much? Guess I will have to act like this bodies owner's shrew character, I put my hands on my mouth and cough "ahm... ahm.." they all came back to their senses, its time to start acting, I said to myself mentally. " What is with the shrimps, I don't like the soup, change it" I complained and turned to the family chef, my father signs.... "Son, don't make a fuse about it, this food was cooked specially by your second aunt show some respect" he said with a stain voice, I sigh "OK, I'll just have to eat it then" "what exactly don't you like Elim"
Said my mom "its OK mother, guess I can't eat what I want in this house anymore" I said with a face of sadness. " that's enough, chef Raygan get the child what he wants" my grandfather said with slight annoyance in his voice,
"This servant understands" the chef Raygan replied with a full bow, " what will young master Elim like to eat then" he said with a bow and a voice laced with respect while smiling, "forget it, just give me a bowl of congee" I said nonchalantly while waving my hand at him to hurry up "yes" he answered and left right away,
I noticed my mother was putting some shrimp on my sister's bowl of rice, she (my sister) was smiling "thanks mother, you should give some to brother Soram too.." Biana said
Soram is my second brother who is older than Biana by five years, Biana is 5 years old, Soram is 11 years old, "oh..no need mother this son is OK" 'wow how matured, this boy acts older than his age all the time, well its how we all were trained , etiquette and filial piety.
Thankfully this body's owner took that serious and is smart, intelligent and is one of the brightest young master of his generation, which is why he is so arrogant and proud and that is his only flaw' sigh... "Stupid" I mounted silently, "the daughter of marquise (Druno Madasta) is having a marriage ceremony in two days time, I believe everyone is ready, the whole house hold was invited, you all young once must behave yourselves and don't cause any trouble" my grandfather said directing his last sentence at me, I just smiled " yes..." We all answered with voices lased with respect at the same time.
The chef came back with a bowl of steaming congee, which I ate quietly, I noticed side glances once in a while, I shrugged mentally, well what's my business, just enjoying my dinner anyway.
After dinner I greeted the elders and wished them a good night before leaving,
