When they arrived at the dining hall, Terron, as well as Silva’s mum and siblings, were already seated.
As soon as they stepped into the hall, the air became tense. Silva’s parents looked at the Duke and his wife, and their rage could be felt.
“It’s an honor to meet the Duke and his family.” Silva’s father swallowed the rage and greeted with a bow.
“Please, raise your heads. You are the parents of the son of the Duke, even if not biological.” The Duke said, emphasizing the ‘not biological’ part.
Silva noticed that and shot a look at his father, the Duke. The Duke felt the sudden killing intent, and his palms became sweaty.
He was unable to forget that fight with Silva. He, one of the greatest mages, was utterly defeated by his son, whom he had tried to kill.
Everyone took a seat, and then the food was served. Regardless of etiquette or any noble rules, they all began eating.
Then, finally, Silva started the conversation.
“I understand that currently, my parents are very angry with the Duke and my mother. So I will reveal a few things that I have hidden.
Mum, Dad, Quin, Lia, and Mike, I’ll beg that you forgive me for hiding the information that I am about to reveal.
You all know that I possess a greater memory, mostly due to my Legacy. So I can remember everything that happened from the moment I was born.
Yes, I know all the details, and so today, I’ll tell you in detail how I came to meet you, my family,” Silva said, and the air grew chilly and tense.
His family never knew he had such an ability. They didn’t expect that his ability to retain memories was so deep that he could remember that far back.
“When I first opened my eyes in this world, I was surrounded in what was my mother’s room. Maids were helping her after she had just given birth.
Someone then left to call the Duke, my biological father, and he came rushing to see the child.
When he arrived, he was informed that his son lacked the natural talent he should have, and my father could not take it, so he ordered my death.
Yes, he ordered that I be killed to not sully his name, but my mum spoke. She knew there was no way I could stay there with her, so she took the risk of letting me go.
She asked her husband to let me live, but I would be taken away and given to another family. My father, nonchalant about the issue, allowed her to do as she wished.
And so, I was given the name Silva and handed to a maid to be taken far, far away and given to a family.
And that was when I was taken to meet you, and you became my family a day after I was born. Those are the details that led to my current family.” Silva finished.
When he was done, all eyes at the table were pinned on Terron.
“You decided the worth of a child on the day he was born?” Leon asked, his anger slowly seeping through.
“And now you see that he has made something of himself, and you decide that it’s the best time to walk back into his life and give him your name?” Leon asked in rage, slamming his hand into the table with force, not caring if he was in the presence of a Duke. ƒree𝑤ebnσvel.com
“Do you know how my wife and I dreaded the day that we would have to explain to him that he wasn’t just abandoned at our door, but rather he was given to us?
They chose to give him away; they decided he wasn’t what they wanted. Are you crazy?” Leon yelled.
A guard barged into the room when he heard the noise. He intended to quiet Leon, but the thick killing intent emanating from Silva, Lia, Mike, and Quin suffocated him. He fell to the ground, struggling to breathe.
Another guard came in and quickly pulled the first one out to save him before he passed out.
“I understand your anger, Mr. Leon, I really do,” Terron tried to say.
“Don’t act like you know anything,” Sarah, Silva’s mother, spoke. “Do you know the horror you put your wife through all those years, the pain of having the child she birthed snatched away?
All you were searching for was potential, and when the child with the greatest potential was right in front of you, you couldn’t see.”
Nobody said anything for a while after that. They had expected things to be a bit bad, but now it was worse, and the instigator, Silva, also behaved in a solemn way.
After a while, he got up. “Enough of the sad mood. All your hate toward this douchebag of a father that I have is naturally normal.
But the only reason I agreed to take his name is because there’s a lot I want to do, and his status will make things easier for me and also give me a certain level of protection.
I simply want to use his name, so I chose to carry this name of his. Now I do hope that everyone gets along, especially you, Mum, and you, Mum.” Silva pointed to both his mothers, causing their hearts to skip.
“As for Dad and Mr. Terron, I beg that you don’t get into a fight and try to kill each other. As for the rest, do whatever.” Silva said and left the table, waltzing out of the room.
Terron stood up before anyone else could leave, and then he spoke.

“I know I don’t deserve Silva. In fact, if word got out of what I did, I would be punished heavily by the king. That was why this story of him being lost was made up.
I’m not asking for forgiveness, but I’m also pleading that all of you go along with the story as well.”
