Dark Prince

Chapter 7: 7th Birthday!

Few month later before the children's 7th birthday, Maria requested to throw a ball for her children, and the children to have atleast three days of rest from their training, The five Kings allowed the children to celebrate their birthday, the ball was gonna be held at King Vlad's castle, So the day before the birthday, Maria, Gray with Arria and Zero, organized the ball.

Arria: Master! you look even more handsome since the last time i saw you.

Gray: Uhmm... i was still a baby at that time right?

Arria: You are right indeed Master! why did you only summon Zero for this past whole year? why didn't you call me? i was so lonely and bored.

Gray: aha ha ha... im so sorry, i was so focused training, i forgot that i have other familiars.

Arria: Dont apologize Master, just P-U-N-I-S-H meee... (seductive tone)

Zero: Stop teasing the young prince Arria the succubus!

Gray: It's fine Zero, well Arria, maybe one day, when the time comes, i promise, I will punish you till your satisfaction.

Arria was surprised what Gray had just said, She was wondering how does a Seven year old boy can talk and take a conversation like an adult, She knew that his master didn't master using swords, he also trained his mind to be more effective at the battlefield. Maria overheard what Gray said, She cannot believe that his son at young age became no longer a boy, she knew that his son was already a man, she didn't know what to feel, will she be sad because her son forced himself to be like that, or will she be happy that she knew her son is now matured and can help his siblings one day. That night after the preparations for the ball, The five Kings and other six children arrived, They rushed to their mother's room, when they saw her they hugged and kissed her, Maria was surprised that they arrived early, She thought that they will arrive in the morning, and the children asked her where is Gray.

Maria: Gray? he might be in the dark forest at this time, but im not sure if he's back.

Vlad: Dark forest? at this time of the night?

Eli: What's Gray doing there mother?

Max: I'll go look for him.

Maria: Don't worry about him, he'll be back soon, that's where Gray and Zero do their training.

Dante: That cry baby? training in the Dark forest?

Virgil: How is that possible?

Reid: Zero the familiar... i have read about him in the books, before he was a familiar, he was a very famous weapon master, but i didn't know that he can train others.

Luke: Well, definitely he's always being helped or protected by his familiars.

Reid: He's back...

The other six children and the five Kings were surprised when they saw Gray, they can sense that Gray have changed a lot, the look in his eyes changed like a murderer's eye, his body, although he's still a child his body was very fit, while Gray was approaching them he has a very serious expression, Eli rushed towards Gray and hugged him, when Eli was about to cry Gray looked up to her and say...

Gray: Eli? are you gonna cry? (smiled)

Gray's expression suddenly changed, from a murderous expression to an innocent expression.

Eli: W-what happened to you my sweet cute little brother? and why are you doing training at night specialy at the Dark forest, what if-

Gray: Im fine Eli! dont worry about me, Zero and the others are with me.
