Mikayla led an eventful life in the mansion for another month. He is being educated with the etiquette of the nobles and be ready for the banquet in the main house next month. Rinne attitude towards him change drastically, he even smiles sweetly towards Mikayla and this give goosebumps to the other servants. They know that Rinne dislike Mikayla badly but no one dares to make fun of him.
Mikayla is too busy to notice the changes that Rinne display. As long as Rinne did not kill him it is more than enough.
Mikayla has special guest today that is Kent and...
"Please take them. Every time they open their eyes they are crying, if they are not playing or drinking milk they cry. Only when they sleep we can take rest," said Jeffry.
"Yeah! Take them, pleaseeeee" said Kent's subordinates. Seeing their haggard face, they truly have a bad time with the twins.
After the kidnapping incident, the twins are under Dr Dan care but he is a doctor and has other patients to take care off. Then, the oldies in the castle took care of them but the twins are too active for them and always crying whenever they remember Mikayla. So, it is decided for the twins to leave the castle to stay with their guardian. The oldies are sad and keep asking for Kent to get marry and has plenty of children for them. Kent only sighs with the oldies request.
Mikayla truly misses them and gladly receive the twins in the basket. They are so cute and with the soft Wings on their back, they are truly an angle. When holding the twins Mikayla unintentionally release a gentle pressure. Low levels people and vampire unable to detect it but Rinne able to detect it and shocked. This kind of pressure only an expert can emit. The pressure is very gentle and not harmful to others but a protective one.
If Rinne can see magic aura he will see Mikayla is emitting a yellowish light that envelope him and the twins. It is easy to emit pressure to harm others and subdue people. As long the person has strong magical power they able to do it but gentle pressure like that is difficult to be done because it requires precise control of magical power and only an expert like Gregory able to do it. Even their Master Alaric, unable to do it.
Kent did not stay long and leaves immediately after dropping the twins. The Maroon family fight for Kent when The Knight declares Kent as Grade S criminal. The threat to leak the secret and the withdrawal of the Maroon family from magical protection and will not provide any assistance during the war makes The Knight think twice in capturing Kent.
Jack even attack the Maroon family and demand to know about Mikayla. The Maroon family stand together this time and did not reveals any information regarding Mikayla. Especially the oldies in the castle. They even hit Jack with their cane. Frustrated, Jack went home without any information regarding Mikayla. Maria has a stroke of lady luck on her side and survives the from the bullets.
Rinne realises he underestimate Mikayla just because he is not a vampire. He should have known that Duke Alaric will not decide to adopt Mikayla on impulse. Guilt creeps in his mind. Luckily he never mistreats Mikayla and can mend his mistakes.
"Oh! Who is this two little one? Where is Kent? I heard he comes here," said Alaric.
"Kent already went home because he did not want The Knight to detect his absence. He only comes to send me the twins," said Mikayla.
"These two? But why?" asked Alaric.
"How am I going to say, mmmm. These two can be considered as my children," said Mikayla.
"What! Your child...children?" said Alaric. He turns his head to see Mikayla and the twins again and again.
He then turns to see Mikayla and place his hand on Mikayla's shoulder "Which woman that did this to you! Tell your father! I make sure that woman pays for it. Who did she think she is, not even spare a child?" said Alaric with a stern voice. He stares into Mikayla's eyes.
Mikayla is dumbfounded. (What the heck!)
"Father you are misunderstood, these children are Teacher Rachel child. Before she died, she and her husband entrust them to me," said Mikayla.
When hearing that that child is not Mikayla's child, Alaric relaxed instantly. "Why did they entrust their child to another child? It is ridiculous."
"At that time we were under the Knights attacks. Their target is the twin's parent. Teacher Rachel sacrifice her life to buy us some time to escape and Mr Nelson decided to perish together with Teacher Rachel. Before that, she uses her magic power to make a crystal egg to save the twins." said Mikayla. His tears unable to hold inside their small pond and leak out.
"I'm sorry Mikayla," said Alaric. He hugs Mikayla from behind. The twins sense the sadness and start to cry together with Mikayla.
"I'm fine... I'm fine, don't cry," said Mikayla and he once again releases gentle pressure and this time Alaric able to sense it and like Rinne, Alaric is surprised. He smiles knowing that his assumption is true.
Rinne cast aside his bad thought and starts to serve Mikayla wholeheartedly. His job scope now not only towards Mikayla but also the twins. For someone that never taking care of a child and only know the theory, it is hell for Rinne. Luckily Mikayla is a responsible parent and always doing the hardcore thing like bathing them and cleaning the poop and leave the small stuff for Rinne to handle.
Alaric simply watches the young father Mikayla taking care of the babies. Did this consider to buy one free two? The twins have strong magical power and this can be noticed from their outstanding crying. The monster in the nearby forest comes to offers some offering for the twins to stops crying. If the twins keep crying Alaric may be able to conquer the continent with them.
A week before the banquet at the main house Mikayla and the twins begin their journey. They did not use the transportation or teleportation formation because Alaric wants Mikayla to see the land that he is staying right now. They passed through many places and it broadens Mikayla's mind.
The vampire continent is not that different from the human continent. It just that human here are livestock for the vampire. The human is classified into categories of servants, civilian and magician. The servant only lives to produce blood every day and stay in a place called blood farm. The servant did not have any freedom to live like a normal human. The civilian also lives to produce blood, but their blood only being harvest every three days and they can live a normal life in the villages or city depending on their expertise.
The magician is the highest rank for the human, that is for a human that was born with magic power. Magician blood is like a magic potion for human and the vampire took care of them by giving them freedom and land with the condition that the magician did not betray the vampire. The magician blood only being harvest once every week to ensure the quality of the blood.
For the vampire, there are also classes for them. They have a lower class and upper class. The lower class is a mixed races vampire whether by birth or through a bite from vampire unless they were bitten by a noble vampire then they can enter the upper class.
Easy to say that the lower class has low purity of vampire blood and the upper class has the higher purity of vampire blood. Both the lower class and upper class lives with the civilian and magician human because it is easier for them to monitor the human.
After five days of travel, they arrive at the main house of The Blade Family. Upon his arrival and get out from the carriage Mikayla feels sharp energy aiming at him. Alaric notices this and forms a chop gesture and the energy vanishes. Mikayla makes signals towards Rinne to protect the twins. Rinne nodded and put a barrier around the twin's basket. The twins are quite inside the basket and seem to understand the situation.
"Aleric! Mikayla! You're late," said Gregory.
"Father we are not late. The banquet is in two days," said Alaric with a smile on his face and making his handsome and slightly chubby face glows beautifully under the sunset.
"Hahahaha. Come in you two and anyone that disrespect Mikayla will be punished according to family law," said Gregory in a joking tone but everyone knows he is serious about this.
Those that hiding in the dark retreat because Gregory himself has taken action. If they want to live a little bit longer, they better not to provoke Gregory. Although Gregory manages to convince the other family members to accept Mikayla there are few of those that wanted the Duke title from Alaric tries to use these opportunities to create troubles.
"Alaric you sure to act wantonly taking a human into our noble family," said Dylan.
"Dylan you and you're stupid brain. I already ask for permission and guess what? PERMISSION GRANTED!" said Alaric with a mocking smile on his face.
"Enough! Both of you," said Gregory and takes Mikayla hand and enter the castle together.
