he door slowly opened and a elderly old man walked inside the room. he had white hair with a big white mustache and beard while he is wearing a formal black butler suit with a black bow tied in his neck.
he slowly bowed toward Thomas "young master's it time for dinner" his tone is filled edge sound but a respectful voice that a young lord of a Crowley family deserved.
Raven Talen the head butler of Crowley Family. he has been loyally serving the Crowley household for more than thirty year. The Talen family has served as the family since the founding father of the family.
Thomas studied him for some time
"lead the way"
Thomas and Raven moved through the massive and polished hall. the hall was a grandeur it has been polished with white with intricate designed of different patterns carved in the celling of the hall.
Soon both of them reached the dining hall Raven Talen pushed the door opened. The hall was very spacious and exalted. A very pro-acted dinning table was stretched over the room with more than twelve seats in the both opposing side with a head seat being at the first and middle chair along the table.
The table was polished brown which gave intrinsic vibe. As soon as Thomas entered the dining hall all eyes turned towards him 18 different pairs of eyes turned towards him. He is the last to arrive at the dinning hall.
All eyes were on him but his eyes were at the family head table. Thomas Blake Crowley head of the Crowley household and one of the 13 Raja's (raja = ruler) HED Alliance.
Crowley family is like one of the royal families of human race. Blake gave him his own name to the head of Crowley family because he is one of the major characters in the later part of story and made his personality same as his with the family being the perfect family like he himself desired.
"you have arrived, take a seat" Thomas said in a soft voice to Blake. Blake was the youngest child of the Crowley family also the most loved and doted child of the household due to that he was very spoiled which he why he never worked hard to become strong even though he has such a unique origin type.
After hearing his father, he sat at farther seat from the head and it was last.
The maids quickly served the meals.
Unlike the other high ranking family Crowley is very different and unique in its tradition and culture to.
While family of other high ranking member of the like Hivedi, Suroon families which appoint the first born child as the heir Crowley family did the opposite it appointed youngest child as the heir.
The Crowley family border's are also closed from the outside world so are the rules and regulation of other.
The family culture are also different from the other. The Crowley rarely venture outside of their territory expect for the time needed to attend the academy or important ceremonies.
It an unspoken rule that while eating no one is allowed to talk during the
dinner hours.
After the dinner quickly finished maids quickly left collect all the plates and left.
Thomas clapped the hands and quickly the maids and butlers left the room.
he faced Blake and said with a straight face and asked "what happened that day" he didn't say the day of the assassination because he was afraid of bringing back memories of that day and causing his youngest child to be traumatized.
He might be a cold emotionless man on the outside world but he is very caring and doting child to his children's.
*what should i say do i fake ignorance or do i tell the truth i do know the reason behind his death but it is as simple as i sounds. well i might not have written this character nicely but i did put a lot of effort in his assassination as it will unravel in the later part of the story. from what i remember Blake dies in the story and the Crowley family goes on a rampage searching for the butler who murder Blake. After his death massive reform take place in the castle. Every butler, maid and servants gets re evaluated and investigated. those of whose where of even a little bit suspicion gets executed i might not have seen it but those reforms have already taken place after my assassination.
*In addition the murder was one of the oldest butler of the Crowley family who have served the family since Blake grandfathers time so it made the part even more dark and dangerous with one of the longest serving betraying the household and killing the heir is like slapping the face of the Crowley family.*
