I was allowed to use the Magnus family name by the duchess when she took me in, which was pretty much the same as declaring that I was adopted into the family.
Normally, if a person with no status was ever adopted into a noble family there were bound to be malicious rumor's especially in the case of a child of a mistress, being taken into the family.
A single week was all it took for the rumor's to die down the reason, every single person who was involved in the rumor's had their business on the verge of bankruptcy.
Although the Magnus house was known to produce great wizards, they also dabbled in but business.
As no matter how talented one was resources were necessary to advance after a certain level.
The duchess who I now consider my mother although kind is a person on who's bad side I never want to get on.
When angered she's so scary that I'd rather brawl with the emperor than be the target of her wrath.
Thankfully she's not an easy person to anger, the only time I've seen her truly get angry is when someone tries to harm me or Alex.
Speaking of Alex, he's the reason for my current crisis.
"That Jerk! What did he mean by date!". I mumble under my breath.
Our relationship has always been strange, although it wasn't like this when we were little.
I suppose in a way it was inevitable for this today to arrive one day.
Although we were brother and sister, our relationship has always been more than that.
Siblings, best friends or something more.
I'm not stupid enough to think that he invited me for just a normal meet up or that he was just teasing me cause if as such he wouldn't have used the word 'date'.
It was like an unspoken agreement between the two of us, we've always been careful not to cross that line.Yet he did so clearly today.
Honestly, if someone was to ask me what I think of him I'd say I like him.
It's not that I don't know about his twisted side, nor did he ever make any effort to hide it.
That's something which is necessary to survive in this world, and besides even he has his limits which he doesn't cross.
And I myself can't be considered normal either maybe it was the result of our mother's teaching's but the two of us ended up being extremely protective of those we care about and utterly indifferent to those that doesn't interest us or have any relation to us.
Depending on how tomorrow goes, our relationship will completely change, I won't lie and say I'm not anxious about it.
All I can do now is wait for tomorrow to come.
Haa... Letting out a sigh, I decide not to think too much about it or I won't be getting any sleep tonight.
Tucking myself in the bed, I hoped things would go well tomorrow.
