《Memoirs of an old traveler:First Rebirth》Chapter 08-family get together
Advertisement
I’ve got no problems personally but I can’t help but be scared for my mental health what with the fact that my sisters look like they want to follow in the footsteps of my mothers not to mention that I have the right to be scared of them in the future. Well this family get together ’more like the plotting of the female members while the males try to look like air’ keeps going on. These large scale get togethers are a bit rare due to the timing but looks like dad has been planning this for a while.The course is rather simple stuff I suppose, various stews, roasts, fruits, and stuffed bread. No crazy ingredients like foie gras or truffles, just hearty food fit for those who like to train hard. Cade and Brad pass by every once in awhile carrying cloth, bowls, etc. If you are going to take stuff from my food don’t make it obvious. I can see that you have eaten something, you two still have smudges of food on your mouth. I would complain but since there is extra food I don’t mind sparing some, actually how obsessed with food are you two. It is not like the household does not feed people, the peasants never go hungry either.
The central table with father at the head and both mothers on either side now that we are actually eating is quite nice. Everyone is just eating and talking hearty, laughter is spontaneous and joyful. I mostly talk with my next older brother and sisters ”What have you been doing these days lil bro” older brother asks me, “I survived boss sis’s training!” I proudly declare. Why do I call the head maid this, aunty would sound weird and using her name or job title would be bad, the way she acts amongst the servants and family contributed to me making this as her title in my eyes. My brother can only give a sagely nod in understanding, looks like no one got to skip those lessons, sigh. Half of my sisters that are nearby seem to share the same view, the other half well this does not look good for my health ‘gulp’. Please spare me I am only a naughty child!

Thankfully the head maid accepted this epithet earlier though she warned me not to use it after I grow up, that smile scares me.... I should make a list of smiles to avoid in this family.In comparison I call the head butler uncle since he is quite boisterous and has that larger then life rough feel to him. Under him I have started to learn basic fighting though this is just light exercises to gain strength and agility along with learning how to hold a short staff over long periods of time. It was till just before the little get together that I started learning to throw knives since I can handle that with this body, apparently the knife throwing is passed down from old founder and refined over the years. Back in founder’s time it was mostly used to distract and finish off weakened foes from a distance, now apparently we can have the techniques to accurately hit and disable limbs though insta kills in the vitals are still a matter of luck. I have a feeling our family does not believe in the grand art of chivalrous swordfighting. Not exactly surprising after boss sis’s training preview, once I finish my training woe to anyone who fights me without anything special, any normal bandit or even knight is going to get diced or smashed to pieces quickly. Do I even want to try to find out our history in duels, I am quite certain about the ratio of success. However as of now I still have to be careful of urban or forest compat since two handed combat is not kind in these areas though the knife and hand to hand combat compensate for the most part. It might actually be kinder to use a sword...
My brothers and sisters are saying that I am doing good in my studies both scholarly and marital but I don’t know, this entire family is so out of standards I can only guess. I am fumbling in the dark here since I have never met any other nobles and it’s not like I had any real knowledge of nobility are like. My parents and siblings never bought over anybody from other families and the peasants are obviously not nobles. Well not like I can keep dwelling on this. ‘hmmm’ looks like the dessert is here. Chilled fruit juice with soft bread, looks tasty, while this is getting served dear dad drops a bomb on me. “Son now that you are getting older it is about time you should know about your future duty” One dropped spoon later dad just keeps going. “Our family has since olden times if you remember has guarded this kingdom and it’s royalty. And now you will be fulfilling that tradition for the family” WHAT IS THIS!?!

Well, that wasn't true, he had imagined something close to that scenario many times, but when it comes true? Well, it wasn't quite as he imagined, there was a lot more pain involved, and a surprising degree of waiting and walking, not to mention the friends, new and old, lost along the way. But even so, Oliver still hopes it can be fun, and even if it isn't, it will certainly be the adventure of a life time.
