The day ended and both the Greville couple were back home. The dinner was set on table which was quite large for a family of four but this was a common thing for all Elite families as they would usually greet their guests at the table when they visited them.
Arthur Greville was ecstatic from the sudden found motivation of Asher but Sylvie thought her husband forced Asher to try awakening a year and a half before the agreed date so she decided to ask Asher who was in front of her cutting his steak.
“Asher, I heard you wanted to try awakening did your dad forced you to agree, don’t worry if that’s the case I will make sure he never talks to you” Sylvie said while glaring at Arthur.
Arthur almost choked on the bite he has just taken and started coughing.
“Don’t worry mom I just wanted to start my training a bit early, you can say I just got some motivation to strengthen myself before joining the World Academy”
“And it would not look good upon The Greville name if the heir was a lazy guy, now would it?” Asher cleared the issue before his father who was choking on his food got more scolding from his mother.
Sylvie despite being a strong woman who was referred as a ‘Demon’ from the people who knew her, was just a soft and caring mother for Asher. Her heart always wanted her son to smile and be like other children but she didn’t know what could melt the heart of her son.
“If you wish to awaken I will not stop you but as you are awakening a bit later then others, you might find yourself a bit behind but don’t let it get you okay?” Sylvie said to Asher worrying he might compare himself to others and get depressed.
“Whatever results you get from awakening, don’t forget you are the heir of Greville and nobody can look down on you” Arthur said while clearing his mouth as he finished his food.
“You guys don’t need to worry I know what I am doing and knowing me do you think I will get depressed?” Asher said as he was getting up to leave room as he finished his dinner while subconsciously a smile emerged on his face.
Asher left the room but there was a weird silence in the room.
“Honey, he smiled”
“I thought I hallucinated for a second, but did we saw the same sight” Arthur told Sylvie as they were both surprised as they did not remember when they saw their son’s last smile. He always carried an indifferent face regardless of the situation he was in.
“Arthur!!, make sure his awakening doesn’t go unhindered and get him the best resources you can arrange”
“I don’t care about the cost, just make sure he gets the best”Sylvie told Arthur with a hint of excitement in her voice.
Sylvie did everything to see her son smile, she never told no to him when he asked for something and due to this many people thought she was spoiling him too much. But for a mother whose only wish was to see her son happy, she didn’t care how the world saw her.
“Did you think I would be petty after that sight, don’t worry I will make sure he gets the best of the best” Arthur said while calling Stephen, the Head Butler of the Greville Family.
Stephen was man who was in his 50’s and had seen Arthur grew up as a child but he was surprised to see him so excited to do something in the past 15 years. The times he remembered his state similar to this was when he married Sylvie and when his kids were born.
