As every other royal households, the seigfried's has breakfast together as a family, the grand dinning hall was very well decorated, from the
Chandeliers illuminating the room,crafted from enchanted crystals, to the intricate carvings on the walls, the polish Marbel floors, and a mahogany table, and a golden table cloth with the family's crest,
it stretched down to the center of the hall, each chair is a throne in itself, crafted with the crest of the seigfried's.
A majestic space fit for the king.
On the table lay assorted food, ranging from bread, to pancakes, sausages and a boar meat,
On the table sat four people, at one end, Duke seigfried, sat at the head of the table and on his right, lady vannesa,his wife, the elder brothers, leo and Malone were already engaged in a heated debate about the latest political maneuvers in the kingdom.
"Goodmorning father, good morning mother"
Igris bows as he greets his parents.
"Goodmorning son, hope you had a peaceful night's rest" a gentle female voice responded
"Yes mother, and hope you did as well"
igris said with a smile and proceeded to take his seat, without interrupting his elder brothers arguments.
"Congratulations on your coming of age" Duke seigfried said looking at Igris
At this all the chattering stopped and a brief silence fell on the dinning,
"you will be going to the temple today to awaken your skill, I have great expectation for you, youngest"
the Duke added
"Thank you father, I wouldn't disappoint you"
Igris said with a smile,
Then his facial expression changed as he stared endlessly at the food before him, he has lost his appetite as it suddenly dawned in him what great influence the skill he awakenes has on both him and his family.
In their world having a powerful skill meant everything, though he doesn't have as much responsibilies as his brothers or is elder sister, yet he did not want to be the black sheep of the family, being born last was bad enough,
he didn't have exceptional understanding of the sword like leo his eldest brother, or wasn't as smart as Malone the second, this was his last straw to make things right.
"Hey microbe!"
Igris brother, Malone said as he gave igris a slight jab on his shoulder.
"What are you thinking about?"
Malone added.
"Nothing really" Igris smiled
"better not have any weirs disturbing thoughts and focus on what you have today everything will be fine" Malone said
"our family has had many centuries of receiving the best blessings from God, nothing could possibly go wrong now"
Leo said as he smiled.
"yeah, thanks alot, what could actual possibly go wrong" Igris echoed
"that's the spirit now eat up, you have a big day ahead", Malone said
After breakfast everyone went through their normal daily activities, the elder sons either went to train, or followed their dad around learning from him as he managed the affairs of the kingdom,igris in the other hand had somewhere to be.
He was well dressed in a crimson a silk doublet with puffed sleeves and breeches, adorned with lace ruffs and jewels and his family's crest.
"The carriage is ready master"the butler Rolland said
At this igris entered the carriage and went to the temple.
Upon arriving at the temple, many Nobles and those from humble backgrounds could be seen entering the temple, both girls and boys, all around the age of sixteen,
All butlers and anyone who is above the age of sixteen no matter how powerful, is unable to enter through the barrier created by the priests just for this day.
"The unawakened Shall proceed on their own from this point forward, this was Inscribed on the tablet held by one of the angels statue at gate .
"I shall clear the path for you, master"
Roland said ,
"it's OK, I shall go myself"
Igris said, as he got down from the carriage.
