Grand Duke being in the coliseum itself was a ridiculous situation. Not even Theo's parents were there to see his last fight as he had not made a fuss about it with them.
Theo was about to give a bow to the man and move away, but he saw that the Grand Duke wasn't done.
He lifted a hand slightly, and all the other nobles beside him went quiet, some because of respect and some because they were curious what the man would say to the boy that had just shaken the whole coliseum.
Theo stood straight and waited.
"I would like to meet you once you are done with the academy. Expect a formal invite soon, Theo Merrick. I would prefer if your father attends too. I haven't seen him since the last gate." The man spoke, making Theo nod with a smile.
"I will await your invitation with patience and tell my father about it, my lord. Thank you."
The Grand Duke just chuckled at Theo's behavior as if comparing him to Aldric.
