'Why is this growing scary now?'
Curtis lunged towards Valos attempting to possess him, but he was thrown out as soon as he tried to enter.
The butler went flying across the room and due to his celestial body Curtis was thrown into the other room.
'What the heck!'
He groaned and curled himself forward to lessen the pressure to stop.
Or else he would have landed outside the palace Castlevania in no time.
"This is insane! Bumping into a wall was far better than this stupid condition."
Curtis floated back to the room by passing through the halls and arcades. It was the moment when he spotted the ridiculous portrait of king Lyre Theon and realized they had reached the destination.
"So, we are already inside the palace and that old man is going to protect master Zaiden for some mission."
The bodyguard thought for a moment and the plan was good. If they stayed inside the palace, they could wrap up their mission hurriedly.
Whereas inside the room Valos had sensed Curtis' presence but the traces soon vanished.
"Is he having an authority over a celestial being?"
That was all he could think off since it had been ages some noble had had been able to catch any. But as Curtis was pushed out of the room, he resumed his work leaving Zaiden on the bed.
It was a huge room with numerous shelves containing books and scrolls, with basic necessities aligned in the bed chamber. Curtis reached the room and penetrated from the wall, he spotted Zaiden sleeping safe and sound.
'What did he even feed master?'
Curtis saw that his wound on the knees had healed, which was caused during the run in the forest. The potion was a regular healing serum, Valos was alive only because of his chemist and pharmacology skills.
'This man is not simple, I have to keep an eye on his activities with master Zaiden.'
Curtis moved closer to Zaiden and witnessed that his lips had been growing purple. His engrossing activity caught him off guard, that Valos appeared behind Curtis and threw some serum on him.
The butler floated away sensing the itch on his celestial body, which was no doubt a ridiculous theory but it had happened. Valos confronted him in a loud voice, upon seeing Curtis wincing and floating around in the room.
"Who are you? And why are you following the kid?"
Curtis rubbed his eyes and managed to reply to Valos. Although his nearly non existent body had been burning with itch, Curtis floated towards Valos.
"I'm not following him, we came here together."
Valos took out a pill from his robe, crushed the purple thing in his palms and chanted something. A purple smoke began to emerge from his hands, he positioned himself to attack Curtis.
"Do you take me a fool to believe that lousy statement?"
He fixated his eyes on Curtis, whom he could only see due to the serum over his body.
"Vampires and ghosts had never been pals, we tend to summon your kind. Or in worst cases ghosts hunt down vampires for their greed and revenge."
Curtis realized from his statement that not all vampires were immune to possession. Only noble blood vampires were able to resist and to sense ghosts with a tremor in their body.
'Is he mistaking me for a summoned ghost?'
He paused while thinking, Curtis had no clue what to reply to him in order to satisfy Valos. Whereas the royal chemist had resorted to use his spell, if Curtis failed to satisfy his question.
Valos had figured out the direction of the dust and was about to charge a blow. Curtis immediately decided to blurt out the excuse he had cooked in that very moment.
"Yes, you are right. Master Zaiden has summoned me as his ghost partner."
The statement amazed yet stunned him, that how a thirteen years old boy was able to pull such a powerful magic. Because with the extinction of noble vampires, Class A, B and C none of them were able to establish a bridge between skies and celestial beings.
Curtis awaited for his reaction but before Valos could utter anything, Zaiden woke up with a shriek. The boy panted while looking around as Zaiden sat, his yell had successfully snagged their attention.
"You are awake! Oh my goodness, you are awake."
Valos ignored Curtis and headed towards Zaiden, he dusted off his hands to disperse the purple smoke. A beaming smile and hope appeared on his face, but seeing Zaiden growling feebly like an uncontrollable beast scared him.
Zaiden turned his head towards Valos and the first thing he encountered was his glaring red eyes, Valos stumbled over his steps witnessing that no white was present in his eyes.
"This can't be!"
He had deciphered that his healing serum had affected Zaiden, enhancing his abilities. But perhaps the reaction had taken place after collision with vampiric serum he had taken back in the human world.
