"Yes, This is The Family Crest Of the Soleless Family. My family"
"Sorry, what are you talking about Mr. Andy..... Wait I think I have seen this somewhere."
"Really???? Can you tell me where Ragani???"
"Sorry, I cannot. It's something, a secret that has been in my family for generations."
"Come on please Ragani. I'll do anything. This may relate to why I was sent here"
"Sent here???"
"Sorry I can't go in detail in public over this but please it may be related to my family. Please...."
"OK OK, I'll tell you about it now stop giving me that look it's making me feel guilty."
"Ok thank you..."
"I think it was in the book of dark arts and magic."
"DARK ARTS AND MAGIC...."
Everyone hearing this grasped.....
"Sorry is there something I don't know?"
I asked them with an unknown expression and looked at me as if I was some savage unknown of the world.
"The dark arts and magic is a set of spells and order passed down from royal family and few of their trusted families and only the daughters are allowed to read this book. And I didn't know Ragani's family was also one of them."
"What do you mean 'also' Ria???"
Ragani looks at Ria with a dumbfounded look.
"I too have a part of the dark arts and magic book and I don't remember seeing this symbol anywhere in that book"
"Wait!!! What??? could this be the reason for the friendship between our families."
"If we are talking about the dark arts and magic book I too have one..."
Rose intervenes in the conversation between Ria and Ragani. With her statement, we all were shocked.
"And in mine too there was no symbol or anything like that just some history of a 'Less family '."
"Could that less family be Soleless family?"
"Yes, it was how do you know that name?"
"SO YOU WERE NOT PAYING ATTENTION AT ALL AT THE BEGINNING"
Everyone with a sinister look stared at Rose for asking a dumb question..
"Ok, I was not paying attention because your hot abs were out Mr. Andy Not my mistake."
"Wha..??"
With a blushing face, Rose turned trying to hide it.
"Oh my! Miss Rose so bold."
The soldiers in the back screamed making her more embarrassed.
"Oh yeah! you know the abs are not the only thing Andy has hard and strong."
Ria makes a dirty joke from which both Fina and Rina burst out into laughter.
"WHAT DO YOU MEAN?"
Both Ragani and Rose asked Ria with embarrassed expressions.
"Ok enough jokes let's continue the investigation of the Dark arts and magic book.
We know about 3 books right now, and all of them are unique to themselves. So after we reach the capital can I get the permission to investigate further on that book and read it."
"Of course you can anything for my love"
"Me too I have no problem "
"Yes me too"
"Thank you very much you guys are great."
"So let's get a good night's rest and head to the capital "
"Well I just woke up a few hours ago and am not that tired so what should I do"
"You alone are going to stay on watch duty "
With a smile, Rose replies to Ragani's question.
**************
AT THE CAPITAL
"Congratulations Mr. Andy, now you have reached S-rank after the completion of the mission."
"Thank you very much guide master."
"No, it's all thanks to you and all your efforts you put into it."
"So as the talk is over I'll go I need to meet up with Ria and others at the park."
"Ok I won't hold you long, but before you go I need to tell you something."
With a serious experience, the guild master urged me to stay few more minutes.
"Ok, what happened, guild master?"
"Well, the thing is Andy I really think you need a vacation. Like for a week."
"Guild master, what are you suggesting?"
"Ok, I'll get straight to the point...MARIA COME ON IN"
With a loud commanding voice, the guild master calls in his assistant Maria.
"Yes sir... Here sir"
With a swift speed and a confident look, Maria enters the room and stands behind the guild master.
"So here is the deal Mr. Andy and his party is given a week leave starting today. You all will be sent to the island of Emrys where you and your party will spend the 6 days and 7 nights. You are allowed to bring in other companions to this trip with the limit of 10 excluding the party members. Any questions ?"
Maria playing with her brunette hair explains to me the details of the trip by giving me that look.
"Yes, I do. What the hell is going on? A vacation for what? Why the immortal island? And what the fuck are you planning guild master?"
I let down all the questions at once letting me relax and I let out a big sigh.
"So really tell me what's going on?"
"Nothing much it's just it will take a week for us to make it official and your responsibility is going to increase so we are sending you for a vacation. "
"Then start with that I thought it was another one of those trick requests you have given me."
"No no, it's not like last time. This time I genuinely want you to get some great rest before... you are officially promoted. "
"Hang on a minute, why was there a pause. What are you not telling me, guild master?"
With an intense glare at the guild master and Maria till they confess.
"Ok the thing is right after your promotion there is an S-rank game where the strongest S-rank is chosen. This event happens every 30 years. Last time the one that won Leonardo is the current king as he got to marry the princess, Merry."
"So what has that got to do with the vacation..... Unless it isn't a vacation."
"Correct it's a training camp where each new S-rank is sent before the S-rank games. Each island is unique in its own way and many previous rankers have left their imprints all over it"
"So you just sending me to have some training?"
"Yes, is it bad?"
"Actually no. I like it training with the new members, maybe even an eventful day. Ok then I'll leave it to you guild master and when are we going?"
"Tomorrow evening meet us at the royal academy we are going to teleport you there"
"Ok see you then."
While I'm getting out I see a huge crowd in front of the reception desk. As soon as I get out of the room this guy with a huge body walks towards the guild masters room.
As he was going to the room he sees me in the way, I look week and puny so he tries to push me out of his way but to his surprise he couldn't.
With still angry at the guild master trying to hide things from me now a man trying to push me over my temper broke.
"EXCUSE ME!!!!"
With all my killing intent focused on my eyes, I looked at him. The reception noticed my anger look and sent Ria over to pick me up.
"Andy did the talk with the guild master go well."
As soon as Ria approached me and hugged me my temper subsided and I moved along her and left the guild.
Due to my killing intent still, the frozen guy was approached by the guild master.
"Hey, their nephew how are you?"
"What the fuck was that? Such pressure in just a split second. Could he be the new one?"
With a single tap from the guild master, the guy came to his senses and started speculating about that guy he just encountered.
*************
"Oh! my God it's finally over isn't it Maria?"
"I think so guild master but I think I noticed a bit of anger emitting out of Mr.Andy."
"Please don't tell that you know how angry he could get. Due to last time, I still need to stay in the temporary office. "
"That was all you. you should have been honest with him."
"Who's side are you on Maria?"
"His"
Without hesitation, she replied to my question. Well, it's true that I was at fault every time he got angry. Why do I even try to deceive him anymore I could have just asked him to.
While talking to Maria I felt a strong killing intent outside the door. This was the same feeling when I wronged Andy last time.
"Shit! Shit! Shit! who is getting killed by Andy due to me?"
I ran outside my room as the killing intent subsides. I slowly open the door to avoid the sight of Andy.
"Hey, their nephew how are you?"
"What the fuck was that? Such pressure in just a split second. Could he be the new one?"
As I approached my nephew William who was just struck by the killing intent by Mr. Andy I felt a sudden urge of excitement coming out of my nephew.
"Uncle I definitely want to fight him and crush him."
With a grin on his face, he said that to me still looking towards the entrance.
