To welcome the return of the head of the family, except for the secret elite servants unit, all members of the Parada family gathered around the two sides of the passageway leading to the inner gate of the mansion, on one of these two rows gathered the servants and knights of the palace, and in the forefront of the row stood the head servant of the palace, Monstaser, while in the other row gathered the direct family members, which contained the mother of the head of the family, Mrs. Elizabeth Parada in the front and behind her were Elissa and her mother who was a beautiful middle-aged woman with a calm and affectionate expression on her face, and behind these two was another middle-aged woman with blond hair and an angry expression on her face and with was a young man with black hair who looked in his twenties and had the same expression as the woman on his face.
At the end of the row, two women were slightly younger than the previous women, who appeared to be in their late twenties or early thirties, one of them was with a child on her side apparently at the age of ten
While with the last woman was a little girl with a calm expression who seemed to be in her early teenage years.
For some reason and unexpectedly, the head of the family was a little late, but knowing that he can arrive at any time, the family members could not help but wait a little longer patiently.
And so now, after Fray's arrival, he found them still waiting for him. But what caught Fray's attention most in this audience was the woman with blond hair and an angry expression who was on the side of the direct family members' row.
This woman's name is Emore, and she was the fifth wife of the former head of the family. She was the mother of the strongest competitor for the position of head of the family. She was away these past two years, and during her absence, a lot has changed in the family. which explains the angry expression on her face.
(Why didn't anyone tell me she was here) Fray thought annoyed, before looking at Montaser who was standing at the front of the servants' row with a cold expression.
Montaser, who noticed Fray's cold look, quickly understood what Fray was thinking, he answered Fray with a simple sign with his eyes, and although the sign was vague, Fray understood what it meant. She arrived recently and Montaser didn't find enough time to tell Fray, after all, it takes a long time to deliver a letter from Iskar City to Morial City where Fray was.
"Sigh, that would be annoying..." Fray muttered inaudibly, after all, he knew very well what this woman is capable of, and he really don't want to deal with her right now.
Meanwhile, while Fray was slowly moving forward and exchanging hidden signs with Montaser, Elizabeth who was at the front stepped Forward and stopped Fray's steps before saying with a small smile on her face, "Welcome back, Head of the Family!"
"Welcome back, Head of the Family!" After Elizabeth gave her first greeting, all the other family members automatically said in a unified voice, as they bowed lightly in Fray's
direction.
Even Elmore and the young man who was standing next to her, despite their anger and dissatisfaction, followed the others' lead with stern expressions on their faces.
"Oh, well, thank you for this reception." Fray, whose focus was absent because of all the thoughts in his head, answered the greeting of Elizabeth and the others lightly and without exaggeration, then ignoring everyone's presence looked at Montaser and said, "Montaser prepare the meeting room, we have a topic to discuss."
pαпdα Йᴏνê1,сòМ Elisabeth, after hearing Fray's words, without allowing Montaser to respond, said, "Ah! Fray, Actually we have prepared dinner for you, if it is possible, could you postpone the meeting until after dinner?"
"Dinner!?..." Fray mumbled in a calm voice and a cold expression that concealed his surprise and bewilderment at Elizabeth's words
"Yes, dinner is already ready, so it won't take a lot of your time," said Elizabeth
(Looks like they waited a long time for my arrival... Well, the meeting can wait a little longer) Fray thought internally before answering lightly, "Okay, let's go. Meanwhile, Montaser send somebody to bring Anas here"
"Alright, sir" Answered, Montaser respectfully, before giving one of the servants behind him a small signal with his eyes.
After agreeing to the idea of dinner without prolonging conversations with anyone else, Fray entered the mansion, followed by the rest family members.
The Parada family is divided into two classes: the first-class family members, who are the children of the family, and those who carry the blood of the Parada family, in addition to the wives of the family. And the second class family section they are all the people who joined the family as main servants or knights of the family, such as the servants of the Parada family palace, the elite knights, and recently the deadly numbers team.
And although second-class family members have many privileges as holders of the title "Parada", they still aren't equal to the direct family members (first class), for example, they cannot sit with the first-class family members at the same table except in special occasions, which means that the only ones who can participate At this dinner are the immediate family members. And their personal butlers who will serve them at the table. That's why all the other servants including even Casper and rin, Ryan, Sina, and Aisha who arrived with Fray did not follow the family to the dining room.
Thus, in the main dining room, for the first time in a long time, all the Parada family direct members gathered around the huge dining table, which was filled with all kinds of expensive dishes
At the top of the table sat Fray, on his right side was Adam Parada, although he does not live in the mansion and although he has a small family not related to the Parada family, he is in fact a Parada blood relative and he is one of the direct members of the family, and he is one of the most powerful and important members that why he is the only one who deserves to sit in this place
And on Fray's left side was his mother, Elizabeth, who, as the mother of the head of the family, had the right to sit in this seat
