Seeing Lucifer his father somewhat controlled his anger. The boy sat at the table and began eating his food without waiting for others.
Ignoring his blatant disrespect the duke gave signal to his family and the dinner began.
Amelia was still looking at her son. Her heart ached seeing her son in such a sorry state.
Long gone was the innocent look on his face. What remained was a cold face, devoid of any emotion.
But there was one thing that the entire family noticed about Lucifer including the staff, he appeared more cold than usual. His eyes were like, they didn't recognised the people of his family sitting across the table.
He was treating them like strangers.
Victoria could see her brother quietly eating the food without sparring her a single glance. Seeing his golden eyes she reminisced the old days when they use to play together, laugh together.
She also remembered the day when he had gotten himself into a fight with one of the noble's kid after his 10th birthday party. When asked about the fight by the adults she blamed Lucifer for starting the fight.
On that day it was the first time when father had slapped Lucifer in front of all the guest for his actions. she still couldn't understand what had changed in him after the party before he got into the fight with the noble's son.
His attitude was strange at that point of time. But due to her not supporting him at that time he became exceptionally cold towards her.
After that incident days passed, months passed and then years but still Lucifer didnt't talk to her.
She wanted to apologise to him for her mistake but her ego prevented her from doing so. She was the respectable daughter of the great house of faldia. At the Phoenix Academy which Victoria attends, She is known as the Bloodborne Queen of War.
She ranks 2nd in the entire academy only after the first prince of Azeblood Empire.
She thought it would seem beneath a girl like her to be sorry for such a silly incident. And that brings us to the present.
"In few days you are going to Join the Phoenix Academy. Alicia and John would too join with you. Don't you think it's time for you to start proper training and prove yourself as a worthy Heir of House Faldia," Alan said to his son.
Lucifer looked up in the eyes of his father and said in a cold voice, " If you think I am unworthy then just remove me and make any of your other children as the Heir, for all I care.''
This angered the Duke and he was going to retort but was stopped by his wife who looked at him with pleading eyes. She wanted the dinner time to be peaceful and her family to enjoy it to the fullest, but that seemed as a Luxury.
Lucifer finished his food and left his seat without saying anything as his family watched his lonely back with mixed emotions of anger, guilt, sorrow and regret.

'Phew! That was tiring. Man this family is a real headache.'
That old man was like he was going to roast me alive with added flavoring !
All things aside if I have to grow stronger in this world I have to do everything in my power to achieve it.
I don't care if people call me evil. Power is everything.
I ain't gonna be a hero of justice nor would I want to become a villain, because hero's die in a worthless self-sacrifice and villains are the first one to be hunted and be killed.
I think I should take the middle path not too heroic not too demonic.
After all I too have to survive in this world. Let's see what my abilities are. I should have a system right? That god who sent me here...What was his name again.. Something zefinir or well I don't care.
He looked ruthless but he wouldn't be that heartless to send me here without any extra privilege to make this body and me more powerful that others at a faster rate. After all he did say that after some time when I would become strong enough he would require my help.
Well it still bugs me what a divine deity like him, with powers to bend the laws of the nature itself would want my power for?
Well I might be a little handsome but surely he wouldn't have fallen for it...or Would he...Thinking about that idiotic god sent shivers down my spine.
Well these gods are already hard to understand. No need to waste my Ample time on these things.. They are just meant for mere mortals like...cough...cough...
So where was I...Yes, so how should I summon this system now. Is there any code for that. There should be a manual right...uh...This is just..
'Hello system, you there...hey answer me!
wait calm down. Let's say something cool.
