Three whole month went away like a swift breeze of wind Erez stood still while his servants fix his suit
"Young master you look dashing!"
"Yes young master"
Pitch black hair like a typical Pendragon and ruby round eyes that glister even in the dark it is all the typical elements of a Pendragon.
Erez wore a black suit accompany by golden dragon embroidery on his collar, lapels and cuffs. The pitch black suit came like a dark abyss within it are dancing golden dragons that could mesmerize those who see it. Underneath the suit is black shirt with black necktie on. His hand are also adorned with black gloves having only it's simplicity and elegance.
"Black and golden combination on your suit really suited you young master"
"Thank you Thea"
"You're welcome young master"
The servants all felt proud looking at the back of the young boy they all took care of.
'He grow up so fast'
'Im worried he might break many woman's heart'
All sorts of whispered made Erez flinch since some of them are to farfetched.
'Curse the overly good hearing of the Pendragon family ' the boy thought to himself.
"It seems like you are prepared my young master"
A man wearing a black tail coat and filled with noble aura the white haired butler Ian came with some of the family's attendants.
"Let us go now young master"
Erez only nodded feeling that tonight won't be the same as usual.
After many years of isolation the Pendragon household will once again open its doors thus many nobles and known people from business and power came.
"Count Oz has arrived!"
One by one guest arrived and Elek and his wife Liliana would welcome them.
"Viscount Gualter has arrived "
"Viscount Ainsley has arrived "
"Duke Alaric has arrived "
Murmurs begun to erupt as the three strongest powerhouses of the south arrives.
"It's been a long time baron how are you"
"I've been good Duke I hope the blessing of the spirit of light still with you"
"hoho of course it will always remains with me"
Elek and Duke Alaric talk for a bit before separating. Duke Alaric talk with Viscount Gualter and Viscount Ainsley.
Trumpets was suddenly rung everyone stopped what their doing and focused their attention in front of the majestic door of the Pendragons.
"Presenting the ruler of the Kingdom of Acacius his majesty Silvanus von Acacius!"
Everyone inside the hall bow their heads at the leader of their nation but there is one thought that's been plugging them.
'Why his majesty here!'
The shocked of everyone is great that they didn't notice that someone was announced with the king.
'I think I misheard it but who was he with?'
'I didn't hear it I'm sorry I went blank'
Viscount Gualter and Ainsley both stood stiff looking at the king of their nation.
Glad with the royal attire the king with his companion walked calmly to the hall.
"Your majesty I didn't expect you would visit a humble baron's event it is truly a blessing to have you here"
"Do not act like that Elek even though your a baron your power is known to rival even a Duke"
The king said while glancing at some of the guest noticing some familiar faces.
"By the way Elek I would like to introduce my son Skylar"
'Son!'
Those who heard it all glanced at the boy beside his majesty.
Golden platinum hair like his father relax and calm like every royal Skylar von Acacius stood like torch in fron of everyone.
"Good evening baron I believe it is our first time meeting" the prince said while extending his hand.
"Good evening Prince Skylar indeed I believe this is our first meeting"
The three exchange a couple of formalities before escorting the king and the prince in their respective place.
With the king arriving it was the sign that the party had now finally begun. Baron Pendragon slowly ascend and stood on the elevated platform there the king and the prince was standing looking at the baron with calmness.
"I thank you all of you for coming your majesty and your highness thank you for sparing some of your time for this humble occasion. Now without further ado I would like to introduce my son Erezion Von Pendragon!"
With a loud applause the main character of the night emerge from the curtains of the elevated platform.
"Good evening everyone "
His smile took the breaths of women considering that he was still a kid it was evident what future he will have.
Pitch black hair and ruby round eyes he stood like every Pendragon would do just like that every guest want to know more about the youngest son of baron Pendragon.
"Good evening your majesty, your highness "
Saluting according with the royal etiquette Erez greet the king and his son.
"So this is Erez"
Silvanus stare at the kid with curiousity measuring what type of skill the boy have.
'His body is leaking a speck of energy but it feels different than ki could it be spirit energy? ' the king thought.
"Erez this is my son Skylar, son the the third son of the Pendragon family"
"Pleasure to meet you"
"The pleasure is mine your highness"
"By the way Skylar was the same age as you the two of you will surely meet in the academy"
"That's already certain your majesty "
After exchanging formalities Erez together with his father begin to socialize with the other guest.
"Father ever since the party begun I haven't seen mother and brother yet"
"Don't worry those two prepared something for you"
Smiling casually his father led him to meet the nobles of the North.
"I greet the young master a happy birthday"
Spoke a man with dark green hair chisel face and golden brown eyes.
"Thank you for coming Viscount Gualter"
Erez greet both the Gualter and Ainsley but they both response with simple response.
'They sure keeping the replies short'
"A little Pendragon happy birthday"
Count Oz said while looking refreshed he seem to ignore the rough gazes he received from the two viscount.
"I hope you will master the way of the sword of the Pendragon family...young master many people wanted the honor of defeating a Pendragon" the count whispered while giving him a wink.
Erez felt his communication skills draining with all the talking fortunately none of the rival family made trouble.
"Now then shall we go to one of the events of the night?"
Elek said while gathering the attention of many the presentation of gift is now commencing.
Each family from different nobility and power came.
"I present to the young master a suit of armour made by Ivar my grandfather" a man wearing a simple black coat said.
"Thank you please send my regards to the great blacksmith of Heran"
The man just smiled before nodding his head.
"As you wish young master"
Heran is a land near a ferocious volcano but the people there instead of fearing it turn the volcano into the smithing shop of Barbados family making the land the capital of blacksmiths.
"The alchemists of Nortar greets the young master a happy birthday" three men wearing brown robes present a box of elixirs and potions which Ian took carefully.
"Thank you sir Elxus please send my regards to Nortar"
"They will young master"
Seeing the precious gifts of notable organisation of North the other guest really wonder what kind of baron are the Pendragons.
'It seems like the story of them being a Viscount level in terms of military power is true'
'But why allow a baron to have such a power?'
All sorts of argument erupt inside the minds of some of the guest.
"Happy birthday little Pendragon here is a gift from Hollow chambers of commerce"
A clear transparent crystal appear in everyone's view.
"!?"
"That's a!"
"Spirit gem the size is enormous!"
"How can a baron be gifted of something like this!"
"I heard from my father that the owner of the Commerce owed his life to the eldest son of the Pendragons"
"Who?"
"Idiot the hero that's why the Pendragons are influential and have good connection with different people "
"The glory of the hero don't you know it"
Whispers and murmurs continue to erupt but the presences of the king and prince made them shut their mouths immediately.
"Father I'm impressed on how people can generate theories out of thin air"
"It's the ability of gossiper you'll be surprised on how farfetched some of the stories they made"
Father and son duo just talk while sitting on the chairs provided by the servants of the household.
"Sitting from here I can see everything"
"Yes watch Skylar you must learn from the reaction of every people inside this hall"
Sitting on the elevated platform the king and prince just wait until Erez finished accepting gifts.
Rich business and renown organisation send each of their own representative to send their gift. After that the vassal family under Pendragon present their own gifts which pleased Erez.
"Thank uncle Dominic"
"You're very welcome my dear young master"
The white haired man said while embracing the boy.
"Enough Dominic it's my family's turn"
To Erez and everyone's surprised a man glad in leather armour kicked Dominic which resulted with the man rolling on the ground.
"That!...." Dominic was about to pounce on him when he remembered it was a birthday party of Erez so he kept his angered in check.
"Uncle Tybalt why do that?"
"The man is stealing the glory of embracing the birthday boy so I kicked him, here happy birthday young master "
He was a vassal family handling the extermination of many beast from the Dark forest.
"A beast core from a saint level beast our family present this to you my young master "
"Pfft!" someone choked on their champagne after hearing a saint level beast was slayed.
"My god a saint level!"
"A vassal fa... family!?....slaying a saint level beast!"
Elek just massaged his forehead while hearing every single gossips of the guest.
'Should've made the party private '
Elek Pendragon helplessly thought while glaring at Dominic and Tybalt.
'Why me as well I was kicked'
Dominic thought while looking down on the ground feeling he was about to be scolded.
"A saint level uncle don't tell me your family suffered damages because of this"
Erez whispered which Tybalt reply by shaking his head, relived he smiled while thanking Tybalt.
"It seems like Tybalt and Dominic made trouble"
"Uncle Leo"
Wearing a simple black overcoat Leo Void stood and smile gently.
"This is a simple gift from my family please accept it"
Looking at the shaking hands of the man Erez personally accept the gift making Leo leap with happiness.
"What a lucky bastard" Tybalt whispered.
Erez open the box and was surprised to see a ore, pure energy started leaking out of the box which surprised everyone.
"!?"
"What kind of energy is this"
"Which vassal family is this?"
"It's Void!"
"You mean the owner of an enormous spiritual ore mine!"
"He...he was just a vassal family?"
"Young master?"
Fearing he disappoint the boy Leo look even more nervous.
"Thank you please send my regards to everyone"
"It will surely be recieved young master "
Three of the vassal families have presented themselves the last two made the men's jaw dropped.
"What on heaven's these two are vassal family as well?"
"Goddesses " someone muttered while salivating with lust.
"Gulp"
White clear hair with sapphire eyes her skin was white as a snow what makes her even more alluring was her red glossy lips.
Her image made Erez flinch for a moment her characteristics matches the girl he once met in red light district.
"You must be from Red light district " he said in a low voiced which made the woman in front of him blush.
"Yes we are the family handling it...I am honoured that at least the young master is aware of our existence "
"Of course yours is very important thank you for working hard and the loyalty you have"
Feeling appreciated the woman tremble a bit before composing herself she nervously present her gift hoping Erez would personally accept it.
"Thank you"
To her happiness Erez did received the gift personally and look at it himself.
A small laughter escaped from boy's lips before covering it he couldn't help but feel funny about the gift.
"Your name?"
"Amanda my young master"
"Thank you it was very thoughtful"
"Yes" she bowed and left immediately she was very excited to report how the young Pendragon smiled at her.
"Cute to cute!"
She muttered while hurriedly leaving with some of her companions.
"Lady Amanda how about the last event?"
One of the women with her asked which stopped Amanda from walking.
"Right I forgot!" she hurriedly return to her table like nothing happened.
The last from the vassal family look a bit domineering but Erez knew she too came from the Red light district.
"Thank you for working hard" he spoke first.
With those words the cold woman in front her melted away her black hair and tan skin quiver with his words.
"Tha..that was our duty" she timidly said which made Erez chuckled.
"Happy birthday young master"
"Thank you"
She presented a twin dagger it suddenly dawn to Erez that he must be prepared of killing someone one day.
He couldn't help but pat the head of the woman in front of him which made the woman trembled slightly.
'Is she okay?' he thought.
