Project Superior: A Hero's Awakening

The Surprise Party

A few weeks had passed since Sir Thomas Armstrong arrived to meet his childhood best friend and his children.

With Thomas's assistance, Jonathan had finally saved up enough money to enroll Xavier in the Pennsylvania Royal Academy.

Jonathan instructed Aleksander and Violet to keep his enrollment in the Pennsylvania Royal Academy a secret from Xavier. He intended to surprise Xavier by telling him he could now attend school and make friends with new people.

Jonathan brought his father-in-law, Gavriil, his children's grandfather, to the surprise celebration he threw for Xavier's enrollment.

Jonathan instructed Aleksander and Violet to take Xavier to the current carnival in the town to divert his attention for the day.

When Xavier returned home after attending the carnival with his older siblings, he was startled by a burst of confetti in his face.

"What?" Xavier asked, perplexed by his situation.

Abruptly, Xavier's grandfather Gavriil gave him a warm embrace and exclaimed, "My son, congratulations on being accepted to the Pennsylvania Royal Academy."

Xavier, who was both shocked and delighted to see his grandfather, asked, "What do you mean, grandpa?" with a confused expression.

Jonathan responded to Xavier with a smile, telling him that he had enrolled him in the same school as his sister and older brother. And that he would no longer feel imprisoned and could finally interact more socially with the outside world.

Xavier went up to embrace Jonathan, thrilled that he would finally be able to go to school and meet new people.

Jonathan remarked, "I love you, my son," as he softly stroked Xavier's hair with a surprised smile.

As everyone at the party feasted, Jason excitedly approached Xavier. And he mentioned how happy he was to have Xavier attend the same school as him.

Jason exclaimed excitedly, "I can't wait to show off my cute cousin to my friends."

"And I can't wait to meet them," Xavier replied, nodding his head.

Miss Charlotte, the mother of Jason, surprised Xavier with multiple gifts while they were chatting. She said, "I bought every sweet and dessert that was in the sweet store I bought it from because I didn't know what sweet you would prefer more."

When Xavier saw how many sweets and chocolates his aunt bought for him, he expressed his admiration to Miss Charlotte for her generosity.

Then, Jonathan, who was observing from a distance, smirked and remarked, "I'm glad Xavier is looking forward to starting school."

And Gavriil said, "I mean, that's normal for a kid his age to be excited about the opportunity of making friends.".

After that, Thomas said, "I hope he makes good friends."

Thomas then sighed, and Gavriil questioned, "What's wrong, Thomas?" observing how perspiration-filled Thomas was.

Thomas replied, "Oh, it's nothing," in response. "I simply can't get over the idea that I am conversing casually and as if we were friends with a king," he continued.

Upon hearing Thomas's reply, Gavriil chuckled and questioned, "Is that the reason you were concerned? Thomas, don't get too worked up; you're my son-in-law's best friend and my grandchildren's uncle.".

"So don't worry about those noble behaviors y'all like to do, because I won't get mad if you talk to me casually," he said.

Thomas raised his head and smiled, contemplating that he was standing next to Saint Gavriil Ivanovich, the Grand Prince of Moscow, the Tsar of all Russia, and the Grand King of the Kingdom of Russia.
