Sebastian feels like he has been struck by thunder! His mind's thought scattered all over the place and reassembled again unable to be brought under control!
'w-what, what did he just hear!? The soul of his love!' how can that be possible? Who has never heard the story of his lord's previous love?
A beautiful hippie human woman who just came of age whom his lord became enamoured with and wanted to marry but was killed by the shadow hunter's association. This is the secret rumour surrounding his lord and most talked about secretly in the clan with many version of it coming out everyday.
The other version is that the woman was not killed only by shadow hunters but by someone in the clan who betrayed the lord and sold her out to be killed by them but until now, nothing came out of the investigation which kind of made the rumour false.
What concerns him the most is that the lord was able to find her soul! He knew the lord is all powerful but from all the things he knew, finding souls should not be possible! He even found her reincarnation which is even more impossible and how did he know that the little one's soul is hers?
Sebastian is stunned okay? Because even witches who are powerful magic manipulators cannot find souls or find other's reincarnation
Looking at Sebastian who has frozen stiff unable to come in term with the information, Gadiel Nox came out of the darkness he was hiding in standing at the tall height of seven feet with his handsomely strong masculine features coupled with his cold Phoenix red eyes that is now looking at kneeling Sebastian.
"You can ask anything you want" he said with his magnetic voice that is a feast for the ears.
Sebastian came out of his thoughts when he heard this and debated with himself for a beat before asking, "l-lord, how do you know he is her?, how did you find her?, is he truly her?, and…and…" Sebastian didn't finish but gadiel Nox knew what he wishes to say
" I asked the witches" Sebastian became amazed once more because as he thought earlier, there is no pathway to soul reincarnation and no matter how powerful the witches are, they should not be able to make a soul reincarnate but what did his lord just tell him?, he asked the witches!
Sebastian knew that the witches has this fixation on his lord and even his lord when he hasn't found his love always went to the witches to spend time but, but…. He just can't finish that thought because nothing come out!
"You will be amazed of what they know" gadiel nox laughed slightly at the amazed look that appeared on Sebastian's face.
Sebastian is someone who always has that stoic look and wants everything around him to be perfect which is what made him an overqualified butler.
" although they cannot cause reincarnation, they have a secret way to find and trace the soul of the person who recently died as long as it is not more than three days. They said my love was a special person and will be rebirthed but they just didn't know when or which era"
Hearing this explanation, Sebastian is still confused because the lord just said the little one is the soul of his love and the witches explanation of saying her soul is not in this era so how did the little one become the soul of his love?
Seeing Sebastian's confusion, gadiel nox continued, " I wanted her to be reborn in this era, so I had to make some sacrifices"
Hearing sacrifices, Sebastian immediately became afraid for his lord because he is the king of all vampires and if anything happens to him, they won't know what to do and for a new vampire king to be born….ugh… Sebastian sighed to himself
" there is no need to be afraid, I just need to not appear in front of him before adulthood and everything will be fine" said Gadiel Nox to reassure Sebastian and also himself
Hearing this, Sebastian calmed down and shifted the attention to another question, " my lord, why adulthood?"
"Because then, what is special about her soul will awaken thus allowing her soul to be stable and live" Gadiel Nox explained exactly as what the witches told him but he left out that before adulthood, the burden and power capable of keeping her soul in this era will be drawn from him until adulthood which makes him unable to control himself thus making him afraid of appearing before him in case of if another irreversible accident happens that would pain him for an eternity that had almost doomed him if not for the boy's rebirth.
Sebastian understood the said and the unsaid words of the lord and thus promised himself to find a way to satiate the little one's curiosity until adulthood.
Having asked and said everything that could be said, Sebastian asked to be excused but as he was about to cross the opened door, he suddenly heard his master's voice once again but this time the voice was soft, "has he asked questions about me a lot?"
Hearing this question, Sebastian knew his lord missed the little one and thus answered very gently, "yes, sire"
Hearing this, Gadiel seems pleased as his tone became even more gentle, "then I permit you to tell him my name and show him my appearance if necessary"
Getting permission to show the little one his lord's appearance, Sebastian was happy because this can fulfil his promise in a way, "yes, sire"
"Sebastian, I put the child in your hands, please help me protect him until adulthood" hearing this, Sebastian became more serious and promised with a vampire oath, "my sire, please don't worry, on my death body will any harm before him!"
"thank you Sebastian" Gadiel said softly
"It is my pleasure my sire" saying this, Sebastian finally left the room while closing the door thus leaving everything else in the darkness.
