Luca was silent for a moment when he felt something push in on the barrier he created, but the next second he decided to ignore it and chose to stay leaning against the tree.
Based on the impulse that forced its way in, it felt like a beast trying to enter.
But the next second Luca was shocked when the barrier was immediately broken.
"What happened?" thought Luca, confused. He hastily immediately descended from the tree and went to the place where the barrier was.
As soon as Luca got there, he could see a man not much different in height than him with short white hair that looked just like him.
The face felt familiar.
"Brother," said Luca, who recognized the face. He is Leonardo, his older brother.
Luca's brow furrowed when he saw his brother's face. He was really confused right now.
Ever since Katherine decided to marry a human, Luca could feel Katherine's concern about her family. Therefore, Luca tried to contact his brother secretly to find out how to get Katherine out of her family.
When Luca got the reply that Katherine could come and talk about it, Luca had some doubts about it. There was no way that Katherine, who had been chased by her family all this time, would be able to get out from the family with just a talk. But Leonardo convinced Luca that now Katherine's family was different. Their mother was different.
Luca, who was a little hesitant at first, finally believed Leonardo's words. After all, there was no way his brother would lie to him when he asked for help like this.
So when Katherine decided to end things with her family, Luca gave such advice. If everything could be discussed amicably, then Lady Katherine wouldn't have to fight and get hurt, right?
But why is his brother here? How about Lady Katherine?
"Luca," Leonardo said quietly.
Luca, who was about to open his mouth to ask why his brother was here, immediately raised his right hand to his chest when he felt something coming swiftly towards him. He hastily cast a spell.
"Ohh… not bad. This little witch managed to dodge my attack," said someone who was bounced back from the defensive spell that Luca had cast. She had been confident that a surprise attack from her would kill Luca right away, but it seemed the little witch had some tricks he was hiding.
"Christine?!"
Luca was really surprised this time. His hazel-colored pupils opened wide.
Why did his brother come here with Christine? Didn't Lady Katherine go to see them? But why are they here?
"Where's Lady Katherine?!" asked Luca who now realized something was wrong. He was now looking at them warily and prepared to fight.
"Well, fighting with a witch is really troublesome. Leonardo, keep this little witch busy while I do my mission," Christine said then immediately ran to the front.
Since her surprise attack had failed, there was no point in her fighting the little witch. She didn't have much time.
"Okay, Lady Christine," said Leonardo, nodding in understanding.
Luca was once again surprised. Did his brother just call Christine Lady?
The call of Lady is a call for the vampire who is their owner. Leonardo is one of the witches who helps the vampire leader to do research because of Leonardo's abilities and intelligence.
Since when did Leonardo become Christine's servant?
Luca immediately shook his head when the thought crossed his mind. This is not the time to think about that. He had to find out why Leonardo and Christine had come here and even attacked him.
Could it be…
Luca immediately turned around when he saw Christine's direction. The woman had mentioned something like a mission. Seeing where the woman had gone, the only mission he could think of was one.
She's after Javier!
Luca hastily cast his spell to quickly move to the man's house, hoping that Christine didn't get there first. However, Luca's concentration immediately broke as soon as the ground next to his feet seemed to split open as if it was attacked by something.
"Stay here, Luca," Leonardo said.
Luca turned and looked at his brother in disbelief.
Did his brother just attack him?
"Brother… What exactly happened?" asked Luca who was really confused at this point.
"Everything will be fine if you stay here. I will help you, who is a traitor. You must have been forced by Katherine to come with you, right? Don't worry, if Lady Christine appoints you as her servant, you will be forgiven," Leonardo said, trying to persuade Luca.
"My lady is Lady Katherine!" said Luca in annoyance.
"It seems you are wrong, brother. Lady Katherine never forced me!" he continued.
Well, apart from telling him to protect Javier, Katherine never used orders on him.
"Stop being stubborn and listen to me, Luca! I really don't want to attack you," Leonardo said, now sounding desperate.
Luca smiled when he heard that. It seemed like his brother had deliberately missed his attack earlier. From the start his brother never intended to attack him.
"Then you don't need to do it," said Luca who then after that cast his spell. Unlike before, this time he cast faster than before.
"Since when did that stupid kid be able to cast spells so quickly?" thought Leonardo when he saw Luca who instantly disappeared from his sight.
He then clenched his fists tightly because Luca managed to escape from him.
"I should have just killed him. Hah. I hope Lady Christine has finished her mission. Well, I guess I'll just join," thought Leonardo, who decided to join because Luca managed to escape from him.
***
Luca immediately looked around when he finally arrived at the living room of Katherine's house. After seeing no signs of being forced into the house. Luca let out a sigh of relief.
"Luca?"
A voice that came from behind him made Luca who was just about to install a barrier in this house immediately cursed in his heart.
"Why is that lowly human awake?" cursed Luca in his heart. He didn't expect that he would meet Javier now. Even though he intended to do it secretly.
"What are you doing there? Where's Katherine? Didn't she go to see you?" Javier asked once more when he saw Luca flinch and try to ignore him.
Luca finally turned and looked at Javier who was now sitting on the long sofa in the living room. Luca could see that the pillows and blankets were also on the sofa.
"Is Javier sleeping on the couch? But why?" thought Luca confusedly seeing the man sleeping on the couch on his first night of marriage.
Although he didn't know what marriage was at first, Luca had already learned about it when Katherine told him she was getting married. So Luca knew the human couple should be sleeping together.
Looking at the sofa that couldn't even accommodate Javier's body, it seemed impossible for him and Lady Katherine to sleep together in that place.
"Katherine…"
Luca didn't have time to continue when he felt something approaching. He hurried over to Javier and again cast a spell.
"You're starting to piss me off, little witch," said the woman who bounced back because Luca managed to cast the spell.
"Christine!" said Luca while gritting his teeth.
