Evil-like Duke Household

Chapter 78: Our child who went to the academy.

I--- no, my, name is Jake=Ractos. The current head of Ractos household.

The flow of time really felt fast, but at the same time, it felt slow. Before I realized it, I already reached the age passing thirties mark.

It was ten plus years ago that my father, Grid=Ractos, recede from his position from the head of the house and passed it to me.

Thought, father still one of the important people of the kingdom, as he still worked as the economy governor, thought not as hard as in the past.

But, I really did become old, heh

RIght now, in the morning. I was in the middle of preparing myself before went to my workplace.

My appearance that was reflected on the mirror, while still retain some trait of my younger days, could be clearly seen that changed from how I was when I was young.

The suspicious eye... rather, the appearance that easily evoked other people misunderstand still didnt changed from the younger days, but if seen clearly, I could see wrinkle on my face. And my hair surely were the things that changed the most.

Perhaps because of my long absent on the sorcery related things, or perhaps because my age, my hair that was dyed black because of my sorcery trait could be seen losing their colour, as the tip of the hair now were dyed in red.

Only recently I knew that I had the same red head just like my father and sister.

Also, for a bit... really, for a little bit, I felt that my hairline started to recede.

No, probably it was just my imagination after all. In the end, when I raised up my bangs, I felt that the hair line was still on the same position as before.

Even my wife, Anessa, said that I didn't need to be worried about it.

... Alright, Let's just accept it. I realized it around the time when my grandfather, Diebold=Ractos, passed away from this world.

The fact that father's hairline started to retreated.

I then wondered, why in the family where my father and grandfather had a bald hair, only I spared from that fate.

I never thought that losing my hair was something as heartbreaking as this. To see the thing that was supposed to be there disappeared really did made you depressed.

.... Ops, not good. Let's move such negative thought into the corner of my head.

That's right, let's just thinking about my children that werent here right now.

Our, Anessa and myself, childrens. The eldest daughter, Daria, eldest son, Grisis, and then the youngest, Sera.

All of them right now were staying at a dorm of certain academy.

'Continental school-Diebold composite academy"

That was the name of the school where my children's went to.

Just like I had said before, my grandfather, Diebold=Ractos, already passed away since ten years ago.

He passed away at the old age of seventy eight. it seems that the cause of the death was of an old age, it's also said that his aging was faster than normal person due to the usage of sorcery at his old age.

But since he spent the last time he had in our home, looked out by everyone in the family including my children, he passed away peacefully and so it wasn't really that hard for us, furthermore since he got his nationality as Azolias back to him and able to buried at his hometown, I could said that he had a pretty good end of this life

The topic stranded for a bit there, but just like everyone knew, my grandfather,Diebold=Reactos, who was well known as the "sorcery kings of the dusk" and earned the respect that near a worship, he also a person who was praised as the " war hero" in the Azolias kingdom.

Because of that, to respect him for all of his achievement, Diebold composite academy was built to create another astounding person like him.

Just like it's name that had the label of the continent, this academy were built by the four great country, said to be four of the biggest country in the Vulaniska continent, it was built right in the border between Azolias and Rizzetta kingdom.

The curriculum divided into three kinds. Nobility, Sorcery and Knight.

To he honest, their quality couldnt be said to be the greatest.

It would be simpler to just hire a private teach for a noble, Rizetta academy would be the best in case one wanted to learn sorcery, and Azolias would be the perfect choice for one who aspiring to become a knight.

However, the reason that it never cease of a new student, was because the label of the name of Diebold.

Of course, due to that label, it also meant that our children's didn't had any other choice than to go to that place.

"Jake-sama, it's about time... let's go"

As I worrying about my children, I could heard the voice of my beloved wife, Annesa, calling for me.

When I looked at the wall clock, it about the time where I had to go now or else it would become bad for me.

As I answered to my wife, I quickly walked away from the mirror.

"Around this time, the kid should already in their class, huh"

It's kinda sad for me to said it... no, it's because me, I could said it, but our lineage got misunderstood easily.

It wouldn't really pose any problem when we were inside the country, It was the case with me and my father,but it seems that our childs weren't exception either.

Well, at least they had someone who understand their problem by their side, so I suppose it wouldn't be any problem.

"As expected, even so I still worried, huh, I wonder is this what parents always felt"

As I thought that while quicken my steps, I unconsciously tried to comb up my front hairs.

"... I suppose I shouldn't touch it too much "

Lowering my arms that already raised halfway, I walked quickly toward the front door.
