Silva's mother finally broke her gaze away from Silva; it would be weird if she kept that up. "Alright, Mrs. Terron will be watching your training today, so we will skip homeroom and head to basic combat classes. So, everyone change and be at the training grounds in ten minutes. You are dismissed," Miss Elizabeth said. The students got up and left. Leah walked up to Silva as they left the class. "I noticed you and the Duke's wife staring at each other. Do you know her?" Leah asked. "Nope, this is the first time meeting her," Silva said. "I'd think otherwise, seeing as you have her hair and eyes. Quite the coincidence," Leah said with a smile and walked away. "She is way more observant than I thought. I'll have to clear things up to avoid any unforeseen happenings," Silva said to himself. --- When they arrived at the training grounds, Silva sat to the side watching the students train. He couldn't really learn anything from sparring with them, and they couldn't learn from him since his skills were too high. Elizabeth would have been a good partner, but she couldn't leave the other students for now. Mrs. Terron noticed that Silva was free, and she saw that as her opportunity. She walked toward him, her breathing got haggard with every step. It was as though she was summoning all the courage she could to come to Silva. Silva could already sense her coming; he could feel the hesitation and anxiety in her, but he kept acting as though he didn't know until she got to his side. "I hear you are Silva, the number one first-year." She used that as a way to start a discussion. "Yes, I am. It's nice to meet you, Mrs. Terron," Silva said. When Oliver and Sage saw Silva, a frown was plastered on their faces. They were told that they had a guest and that their mother wanted them to be there. They didn't expect that it would be Silva, of all people. Silva bowed to the Duke when he arrived. "Welcome, Silva. This is the second time we have met. Please take a seat," the Duke said. Silva did as he was told and sat opposite the Duke. Soon after, the food was served by the maids, and they started to eat. The Duke looked up to begin a discussion. "So, Silva, how is being a student at the academy?" the Duke asked. "Let's cut the crap here," Silva said, taking everyone by surprise. What the hell did Silva just say? "How dare you talk to my father like that?" Oliver got up and roared. "Keep your trash shut, you no-good piece of untalented crap. I've seen commoners better than you, you stupid little boy," Silva clapped back in a way that Oliver was not expecting. What Silva did was so shocking that no one else at the table knew how to react. This was a commoner talking to a Duke and his family rudely. Silva could see the surprise, and he decided to drive all this home. "Thirteen years. Thirteen bloody years I've lived as a commoner because you, a piece of old shit under the name of a father, decided I was no good for living," Silva dropped a bombshell on all of them. It started getting hard for them to understand what was going on. "You are confused, right? Father? You are wondering what I'm talking about. Well, let me refresh your memory. Thirteen years ago, one night, a woman gave birth to a son. But that son seemed to not have good magical affinity. You ordered for that son to be killed, but his mother saved him and asked that he be taken away. Does this story ring any bells?"
