Chapter 5
Claude entered the staff kitchen. He needed to quench his thirst. He enjoyed the time at the palace. It was like living in paradise. For a long while know he and his father had been on their own. Claude missed his mother deeply.
When growing up his father was hardly around. He used to travel a lot with his dragon or so he was told. The occasions when his father did return were heaven on earth for him. Even though his parents did not live together like a happily married couple, Claude was grateful and thanked the gods every night but now even more so.
He prayed for the ability to forget sometimes. He saw a cruel scene when he was seven, the death of his family. His dreams take him back to the evening of the attack. His loved ones tried to hold him off while he escaped. He saw his Grandparents get slaughtered, blood oozing from their sides. His mother told him to run and he did. What troubled him the most was that he did not get to say goodbye.
"Claude"
He returned his attention to ….. Nasuada. He bowed in respect. Queen Nasuada had been kind to him while he stayed at her rather large home. She hired a tutor for him. He learned Math and Language and how to read and write.
Claude reads well but in the ancient language not so much in English. The tutoring reminded him of the times he and his mother spent doing letters and numbers. She also thought him something else as well. Magic.
"Hi" Claude said in his high squeaky voice. He picked up a plate and sa on a stole.
"Good morning." Nasuada replied and sat next to him.
"How are the listens coming along."
"Fine, thank you." He said with a grin.
Claude whispered a few words under his breath and a pan flew into the air and rested on the stove. The refrigerator opened and three eggs floated out . They cracked on the pan and the yolk poured out. Then the shell went into the bin.
Nasduada look at the frying eyes then back at Claude. She did not expect that he would have been so skilled in magic. Although making scramble eggs is easy doing it with magic would need concentration.
Claude repeated something like what he had said before and a spatial stirred the pot. With a flip the spatial the scramble eggs flew into his plate.
Claude tasted it as if inspecting it.
"Can you past the salt?" Claude asked.
Nasuada handed it to him.
"Don't tell my dad. He doesn't even know I can Do A simple levitation spell." Claude looked around as if to see if anyone was spying o them.
"I'm sure he knows" Nasuada said with a laugh.
"No, he doesn't. He wasn't around much before when my mom thought me." Claude took a handle of his breakfast and shoved it into his mouth.
Nasuada fell quiet. Why wasn't Murtagh around much in his son's life? It wasn't he place to know but still…..
"We were not one big happy family if that's what you were thinking. My dad said I wasn't planned but they would not go back in time and change things."
Claude continued eating.
"Did you like him?" Claude asked gazing into her eyes.
"Like who?"
"My Dad."
"Well, yes. He did do some awful things but we must not judge people from their past action's but their present.
"No, not like that, you had feelings for him right?"
"Why would you ask such a question?"
" Just curious. You're the reason he was able to be free. Plus he did."
"And how would you know?" Nasuada challenged him. She could not believe she was having this conversation with an eight year old.
Claude raised an eyebrow at Nasuada.
"I know, because he told me."
Claude finished his plate wiped his mouth and left leaving Nasuada to ponder on what just took place.
