The first banquet

...When I woke up that morning I knew everything would depend on my performance today....

...I briefly toyed with the idea of misbehaving and maybe he would kick me out until I realized I would only get myself into trouble so I decided to cooperate....

...I got up went to the bathroom did my morning routine before going down to the dining room....

...He was absent as he had been for the last three days but I'm honest I didn't mind....

...I ate what I was served and then went back to my room....

...I had a little time before I had to get ready so I sat down at my desk and read one of the books I had borrowed from the house library....

...Around 2pm my butler Sebastian came in (who I hadn't gotten used to yet)....

...About an hour later I was finely dressed like a real young gentleman. A black tailored suit with white shirt and blue tie on which the family crest was embroidered....

...Timeskip.......

...When I entered the banquet hall everything was glowing, the golden chandeliers on the ceiling, the women in expensive dresses with shiny jewelry and the beautiful wall ornaments. I was simply overwhelmed, it was breathtaking....

...My father introduced me to various people as his son and I was able to match everyone thanks to my photographic memory....

...I just had to behave correctly, which was easier said than done....

...It smelled of corruption and greed that even I, as a beginner, understood that this is not a party but a business event to make "friends"....

...When I finally had some peace and quiet I went to a corner near the buffet. Finally I could breathe or at least I thought I could until someone came up to me....

...,,From a waiter to a rich heir ??"...

...I slipped out completely without thinking, "It's not as if that was my dream!...

...I put my hands over my mouth. What had I just said. I looked at the man and immediately recognized him as the rude guy from the cafe....

...He just said, "Looks like your father can't tell a diamond from a piece of dirt!"...

...And what am I, the latter?"...

...And suddenly he smiled, "You really don't know who your mother was?"...

..."What?" I looked at him questioningly....

...If you want to know who your mother was and what your father blindly overlooked, come to this address" He slipped me a card and before he left he said. "No matter what you want your father won't give it to you but HE would do anything for you."...

...He just left me standing there completely overwhelmed....

...The banquet didn't last long and soon I was back in bed in this huge mansion....

...I fell asleep still thinking about the words of that rude man from the cafe....

...But fortunately, the coming day would also hold good things in store for me....

That's for now...
