As soon as Kiro sits , a knock is heard on the door . Kind of annoyed , Kiro stands up and heads to the front door . He opens it and sees Vesper waiting for him .
-Greetings Reaper .
-What is it Vesper ?
-May I come in ?
-Suit yourself .
Vesper enters the mansion and directly heads to the living room . He sits on one of the chairs and waits for Kiro to sit as well . Kiro takes seat , then he says :
-So what is it now ?
Vesper takes a deep breath and replies :
-I have another task for you , This will be a hard one , I guarantee you .
-Please Continue .
-I need Count of Arye , Calhoun Eis Hounderthel dead . I need this task done as soon as possible .
-I'll need more details .
-Calhoun Eis Hounderthel is one of the most important nobles of Hellar . His connections to the royal family do not come into my profit , In fact he is causing me and my associates a handful of problems .
-Go on .
-He is the King's personal advisor , due to his position he stays in the Castle of Menal . It will be easy to spot him . He's a tall young man , wavy copper hair and he possesses an golden amulet, which he never takes it off .
-I see , what's the reward Vesper ?
-22000 Drezas , not a single less .
"22000 Drezas , It doesn't seem bad , the job is going to be hard , but the reward seems worth it . "
-I accept
-Glad to hear that , Reaper .
-But , I'll need a favor .
-What is it Reaper , if I may know ?
-I'll need a knight armor , since this is the royal castle it won't be easy to infiltrate .
-It is actually hard to find them , but I think it won't be a problem , My assistant is going to bring it at the stables , tomorrow's afternoon .
-If that's all , I say we are done here .
Suddenly , the door opens . Luchia enters the room and says .
-Dinner's ready
-That was fast , what do we got ?
-Roasted lamb and grilled vegetables .
-The usual I see , Alright let's dig in , would you join us Vesper .
Vesper thinks about it for a moment then he says :
-My time is limited , but a friendly dine doesn't seem like a problem at all .
-As you say .
Kiro , Luchia and Vesper head to the dining room . As soon as they enter , they all take a seat . Vallerie comes and serves the food , but she freezes for a second when she sees Vesper .
-Greetings Vallerie
-Greet...Greetings Mister Vesper .
She snaps out of it and continues serving the plates . She goes to the kitchen and takes another plate for herself . Then , she takes a seat and begins eating .
-I see your servants eat on the same table as you do reaper .
-I don't see any problem in that .
-It's a rare sight to be honest .
They all continue eating , then Vesper says .
-I'll need a glass of wine , if you don't mind .
-I'll get it - Says Luchia
Luchia stands up and leaves the dining room . She comes back shortly after with a glass of wine . She serves it to Vesper and continues eating . After a while everyone had finished dining . Vesper stands up and says .
-I must go now .
-Let me escort you to the front gate .
-It won't be necessary Reaper , My carriage is waiting right in the front gate . May you have a goodnight reaper .
Vesper Leaves the mansion and the front gates as well . He hops into his carriage and disappears into the darkness of the forest .
-The diner was wonderful .
-I'm glad you liked it - says Luchia .
- I'm going to sleep , See you tomorrow .
-Kiro , wait .
-What is it ?
-There is something I want to show you , follow me .
Kiro follows Luchia to the garden . She points her finger towards the graves of the previous servants of the mansion .
-A tree is growing between their graves .
"Maybe life can grow out of death too "
-What do you think ?
-A nice surprise , I don't know how I haven't noticed this .
-Now let's go to sleep .
-Something I've been looking forward to since I finished dinner .
They enter the mansion , then Luchia , Kiro and Vallerie head for their bedrooms . Kiro reaches his bedroom , then he takes his clothes off . He lies on his bed , then his eyes become heavier and heavier , until he decides to close them .
