Chapter 51: Birthday Party

In the great palace of the Fall family, the great banquet was celebrated as usual, but everyone, including the relatives of Theos, had the same question in their minds... Where is the birthday boy?

As a result, the last banquet ded with an invasion that massacred several nobles. The guests were not in high spirits, but they still had to attd and comply with etiquette as they were summoned by Duke Fall himself.

"Darling, where do you think our son will be? I've be calling him, but his phone doesn't seem to have a signal," Teressa approached Matheo with a worried expression, causing him to frown slightly.

"I honestly don't know, he has changed a lot in the last few days, in every way," he commted with a smile. "He's becoming stronger and stronger; maybe he got too moved, that's why he's tak to training, or is it that he's running a with girls here and there, like playboys of his age?" he replied with a nostalgic smile, remembering the old days.

"Ouch," Matheo's smile was erased as he felt a great pain in his side, Teressa was pinching him with a chilling smile.

"Darling, don't compare the other filthy young m to my son, and much worse to you in your youth," with the most forced smile she could muster, she turned and walked away, leaving Matheo there sighing.

'Oh, wow, she practically just called me trash,' he thought with a grin. Fortunately, they were in a private room of the palace, so no one saw the very "Amorous" sce betwe the two.

*Ring*

Just as Matheo was about to leave the room, his phone rang, notifying a call. "Whom could it be?" he muttered, grabbing the phone and seeing the number he had booked as "son."

"Hello, Theos?", accepting the call, the first thing he did was to confirm his son's idtity, as there are many forgers these days, ev if only his number is known by his peers who are counted on their hands.

"Yes, Father, this is Theos... To confirm it, everywhere you go you carry a row of documts with you," answered the other side of the phone, making Matheo frown and observe his surings where...

All that could be se were papers, documts, and pcils everywhere, causing Matheo to return to his neutral expression. "You're Theos, now... Why hav't you arrived? Your mother is like crazy looking for you."

"Huh, that... Don't worry, I'll go; I just blocked Mother's number because I knew she could call at any momt, and she was on to something extremely important," Theos replied from the other side, causing Matheo to nod.

"Fine, fine, but wh you get there you'll have to explain what you were doing," he continued after a brief pause. "I honestly don't mind if you don't come to your birthday party, after all, it's already a great honor that guests can set foot in this palace, but your mother wants to give you a well-deserved birthday, so I expect you to cooperate."

Such a sce started a commotion in the banquet, making all the nobles turn their atttion to the boy who arrived with total elegance as he had changed his clothes for a new one; he looked elegant, clean, and imposing.

With the improvemt of his appearance, Theos' charm left all the wom in total shock, some of them ev drooling.

He paid no atttion to those ladies but walked past them not ev greeting him; his superior aura made everyone feel like mere ants.

"He... He is the heir of the tire Fall family."

"Yes, he is the one called The Fall, rumor has it that he has more status than the Duke himself, his father."

"Yes, there are also theories that wh he was born, a phomon occurred where the Mana was altered..."

"No kidding... It's him! The crimson shadow! The young man who contributed the most in eliminating those hooded m!"

"Really? He looks differt now... But they're the same person! That unique left eye no one could ever forget..."

After Theos passed from his side, all the guests started their gossip and rumors, they also recognized him as the hero of the Rasforh banquet.

But Theos didn't hear them, those whispers did nothing to stop him from walking toward the stairs that led to the second floor.

"Sister!" as the very work of fate itself, a loud shout came from the other corner of the room.

Just hearing them once, Theos already knew who it was, and who else it could be after hearing them thousands of times in the animated adaptation of the novel.

"What do you want, Alan?"
