Chapter 7

When the time finally came for the count to announce who he will be having to take over his estate. He told up and got everyone's attention. "Thank you all for coming for this joyous decision!" He announced.

Nyoria was looking at the door when the count was giving his speech, she was waiting for Alton to walk in but because he didn't yet she was very worried about him.

Meanwhile with Alton,

After all the guests made their way into the estate he walked to the front of the door, a hoot over his head to hide what he looks like. But the guards stopped him, Clayton looked at the boy with a raised eyebrow. He checked the list that he had and looked back at the boy. "Who are you? Your not on the list to be here." Clayton asked.

That's when the boy heard the count starting his speech. Oh no I'm late! I was suppose to go in when the count starts his speech!

"Hey! Did you hear me? Please state your name and what family you belong to." Clayton asked the boy again.

But there was no answer from him yet again. So Clayton looked at the guard that was next to him and had the guard pull down the boys hood. When they saw him their eyes widened in shock. "N-No way. . . Count Cornelius? But your suppose-" before Clayton could even finish that sentence the boy interrupted.

"No I'm Alton Von-Lowther." He spoke up.

Clayton froze when he heard that name come from the boys mouth. Alton. .? That's the same name I gave Nyoria just the other day. . . There is no mistake that this boy is the counts son, however is this boy . . . Nyoria's son too?

Clayton looked at Alton and then at the guards. "We can't do anything, we have to let him! He's the counts son. He has to see this, Right away!" Clayton spoke to the guard.

The guards moved out the way as Alton followed Clayton throught the halls and to the door of the grand hall where the celebration is being held. Clayton heard the count doing his speech and looked at Alton. "maybe we should come back. ." Clayton said.

That's when Alton stepped forward and the doors flung open when the count spoke the words. "My heir will be-"

Everyone looked at the door even the count all of them was stunned as Alton walked in, he walked in with such confidence and a calm cold look in his eyes. Everyone moved out of his way as he stopped right in front of the count and his family.

The countess stood up, shocked and annoyed at what she's seeing. "What is the meaning of this?!?! Who is this boy?!" She shouted out.

"I'm Alton Von-Lowther." He spoke up.

The countess looked angry at the boy and then turned her attention to the count. Who was too shocked to speak. Isabella stood up and glaring at the boy. "There is no way your a Von-Lowther!! Stop lying right now!" She shouted out.

"If my black hair and pink eyes ain't enough to convince you. . . Then my lady needs to do more studying into the past of her family." Alton spoke up.

This made Isabella even more angry with him. "how dare you speak to me like that! Why you-" before she was going to smack him the count stopped her and got up.

Essa, Isabella and Adina all looked at the boy smirking, at him. "It's true, there is no doubt that your my son. . I can't believe you look so much like me." The count spoke. "you said your name is Alton? Your my only son that means you'll become my heir, is that okay with you?" The count asked.

This made the three female smile's turn to frowns as they heard this from the count. "But my lord!" The countess spoke up upset.

"Father! I'm your true child that's not fair, to let this, this. . . This thing become your heir!" Isabella shouted out.

"I agree with my elder sister! We don't even know who he actually is!" Adina spoke up.

"Be quiet. It's clear this child is mine. So he'll live here, and he'll be my heir. It's the only thing I can do." The count spoke up.

"But father-!" Isabella shouted out.

"If you was a boy maybe things would have been different."
