A few hours ago, Grey had been at home trying to put a smile on Jesse's face and also apologizing to her. After affirming that she could call him brother, they happily walked out of the room together with a smile on their faces. When they came out and Clara saw the way Grey was holding onto Jesse's hand, a smile naturally formed on her lips. 'I guess he took my advice. I'm so glad as Grey would finally get the little sister he wasn't able to get before.' she thought and then they walked towards the small dining. "What's for dinner mum? Brother Grey and I are hungry." Jesse said. "Brother Grey?" Clara asked surprised as she looked at Grey who nervously scratched his head in embarrassment. "Yes! He said I can call him brother from now on! I'm so happy that brother Grey has finally forgiven and accepted me!" Jesse said with a cheeky smile on her face. "Thank you!" Clara mouthed towards Grey with a smile on her face which Grey retuned back. 'I'm glad mum is happy. And I promise to keep on making her and Jesse happy. I will do whatever is in my power to make them happy and protect them from harm.' Grey thought with his fist clenched and then Clara swiftly set the table. Seeing the delicious and exotic meal in front of them, Grey's eyes widened as he could see different types of meat in front of him. They rarely ate meat as they couldn't afford it so they ate it on rare occasions but here in front of them, were all sort of meat and not the skinny small meat they were used to, these ones were big and huge. Seeing the stars in Grey's eyes, Clara smiled. "This is all thanks to you. Without the money you brought home, we wouldn't have been able to afford this." "Yay! Meat! I'm going to gobble them up!" Jesse said as she quickly grabbed a lap of huge turkey and began devouring it like a little beast. "Woah there! You are a little monster when it comes to eating. Who knew that a cute small girl like you could become a monster in the face of food." Grey chuckled. "Mum! Brother Grey is making fun of me and calling me a monster!" Jesse called out towards Clara. "C'mon Grey! Give her a break, she must just be hungry." Clara said with a chuckle. "And so am I!" Grey said and he grabbed a lap of turkey and began devouring it rapidly. "See! He was calling me a monster but who knew he had a wormhole in his belly. Look at the way he is eating!" Jesse said with a small giggle that made Grey smile. "Don't you know that mages need to eat a lot so they can use their powers? That is why I'm eating quickly." Grey said with a chuckle. "Really?! Does that mean that I'm also a mage? Since I'm devouring my food!" Jesse asked with stars in her eyes. "When you show an iota of magic, I will call you a mage. For now, you are just a little cute eating monster." Grey chuckled. "Mother Clara!" Jesse said with mouth pouted and her eyes looking like she was about to cry. 'This feels good! It has been long I saw Grey this happy. This… this is the Grey I know and remember, not the other one.' Clara thought as she recalled the scary look on her son's face when the town's people came and then the image switched to when the town's lord men came to get him. 'Thinking of.' she thought. "Grey! I heard that the town's lord is hosting a party at his residence later today." Clara said and the bickering duo suddenly went quiet and began chewing their food. "Yeah! I know of that since he has already invited me but I told him I will think about it." Grey replied. "So what is your decision?" Clara asked. "I'm not attending. I just told him I will think about it so he would get off my back." Grey replied. "But don't you think it is somehow disrespectful to him? I mean a whole town lord invited you to his party and you didn't show up?" Clara said. "Who cares?" Grey shrugged. "I rather stay here and practice my new magic than to attend a silly party that won't benefit me in anyway. Oh! Did I forget to tell you that I unlocked my fourth affinity?" "Grey!" Clara called with her brows furrowed and he just sighed. "Fine! I will attend but I don't have any good clothes to wear. Wouldn't it look weird for me to put on my tattered clothing to a noble party?" Grey asked. "Don't worry about that, I gotcha." Clara said and she quickly stood up and ran into her room while Grey just shook his head and continued eating while Jesse kept eating silently. A few minutes later, after some muffled cursing and shouting from her room, Clara finally emerged something wrapped in a clean package and she handed it over to Grey. "What is this?" He asked with his eyebrows raised. seaʀᴄh thё novel(F~)ire.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. "It's a special clothing your father had when he was young and wasn't kicked out from his family. This was specially made for him and he only wore it twice and then he outgrew it. But instead of throwing it away, he decided to keep it for you." "This… this is dad's?" Grey asked as his eyes welled up and he took the packaging. "So will you attend the party?" Clara asked. "Yeah yeah, and it's because of you." Grey said and then he wiped his welled up eyes. "Thank you." Clara said and they went back to eating happily while Grey continued teasing Jesse before it was finally time for the party. When it was time, Grey dressed up nicely in a black blazer that had stripes of red on the side and the pocket and even the collar had stripes of red. And the pants was also black with stripes of red and then Grey's hair were neatly swept and combed back making him look for handsome. 'This blazer! Although it is faint, I can feel traces of mana moving around it. I wonder what it is for.' Grey thought and then bidding his mum bye, he ran out of the house using his wind magic to fly above the ground and shooting towards the town's lord house. As he approached the hall, he landed gracefully in front of the door. A small gust of wind followed him, pushing the doors open and extinguishing the fire torches inside. The sudden entrance drew the attention of everyone in the hall.
