"Our New Home"
Lena was startled slightly but quickly recovered, she moved her gaze towards the bedroom it is pretty big and has an ancient styled theme.
I smiled tenderly and helped her get up from the bed. "Sister let's have a tour of our home."
Both of us stood up and moved towards the stairs to get towards the living room...
On the way, I calmly told her about the house.
This is an abandoned Mansion about a hundred kilometres away from the Imperial capital. If you are a tenth level powerhouse it will take about a few min to go to The Imperial capital by flying while if you are a demigod you can directly teleport there.
The nearest place to us is Lengenia city about 30 kilometres away from here. There is also a Guild in Lingenia City.
...I kept the distance in mind while buying the Mansion.
No other people are living nearby us in 5 kilometres of radius, so you can have peace quietly. The Mansion have a massive courtyard and garden comparable to the palace, and It is surrounded completely by the greenery outside. There is large fountain in the centre.
Only if it wasn't abandoned and become a haunted house, it would have been an idle place.
On the inside, you have more than 20 Large rooms combined on both floors, few guest rooms, a large kitchen and a large hall and living room. It can easily accommodate more than 50 people without any problem.
After the introduction, we moved towards the living room and rested on the couch, Lena sit directly next to me.
"Mm...Leon don't you think it's pretty big for only both of us." Lena asked timidly, she was a little overwhelmed by the sheer size of the Mansion.
I stared at Lena and spoke in the most serious voice which I can gather. "Nope, it's perfectly right."
"...what about the chores"
"We don't need to worry about anything other than food. I can simply clean everything with a single spell."
Lena was simply speechless on this ( -_- ) ...
...It looks like, I can only spill the beans or else she is going to make a dead face the whole day.
"Okay, okay...This is a temporary household, we will live in Lingenia city for a while to let the news of our accident first cool off before moving in Imperial Capital again."
"I have also cast the [Reality Render] spell on us, so you don't need to get worried about getting recognized."
I looked towards my left to see Lena's reaction only to see her looking at me with a faint suspicion... so I can only waste another 10 minutes explaining to her about the spell effects.
This spell will not change our appearance but anyone will still not be able to recognise us, they will just see us as noble-looking youngsters without any association to Quentin House. We can also choose to dispel the effects of the spell on few specific people selectively.
I also explained to her to call me Leon outside from now instead of brother although I don't mind others recognising us, but people nowadays are pretty careful one, they like being on a rather safe side, even if they have a single doubt they will send assassins for sure. It's not like I can deal with assassins but I am lazy enough to avoid troubles.
After listening to my explanation Lena thought for a while before nodding. She still has some doubts but was too tired to care about it.
Then she looked towards me and asked. "What about the dinner today?!"
"Well, I can just make it tonight." I responded to her in a casual tone.
!!!
Lena froze on the spot.
After a silence of a whole minute, Lena looked at me in surprise, doubt and confusion.
"...Brother you can cook"
"Why can't I cook." I wrinkle my brow at my sister who was looking at me like some kind of freak.
"... Nothing it's fine"
She shook her head tired. Today she isn't in the mood to argue at all.
I put on a smug expression. "Believe me, I am really a good cook."
....I lived for thousands of years, of course, I can cook easily.
Lena just rolled her eyes, too lazy to care about it anymore.
It seems like it's time for the show-off of the skills of my previous life.
....
After an hour, at the dining table, there were more than tens of dishes perfectly served.
I looked towards my sister and smirked slightly who was looking at the table with her mouth wide open.
She slowly picked up a fork and took a bite, after that second bite, the third bite and so on..., after seeing her busy eating I also picked up my share and started eating.
After half an hour, Lena's satisfied voice resounded. "Ummm...that was satisfying."
I was rather amused, by her expression so I decided to tease her a little. "Sister if you eat like that you will become fat."
She also noticed the situation after listening to my voice, she alone has eaten more than 70 per cent of the food on the table.
Lena lowered her head shyly unable to meet my gaze due to her embarrassment.
I laughed lightly seeing her amusing expressions.
She also noticed me laugh and was not amused by it
"I am going to take a shower and sleep, you should go as well sister, just choose any room".I retreated to my room instantly after seeing her dark expression.
Lena was left alone at the table with a dazed expression and left after a while after making a determined face.
...
In front of a dark miasma filled forest on the top of the cliff, a lone figure can be seen sitting quietly without any movement.
After leaving Lena alone in the living room, I teleported directly near the cursed forest.
There are many things which I have to think about for the future, and for that why I am here? Well, to be honest, I like this place quite a lot now, for others, it may give them a sense of dread but to me, it gives me a feeling of relief.
...Hehe, if I told this to people of this world they will die vomiting blood.
Maybe it's related to me being a True ancestor now as vampires like this type of place. True ancestor is not a vampire nor does it needs any blood like them, we can call vampires even including vampire God are impure blood of the true ancestor, there is not much other relation between them. Even at the power level, both are worlds apart.
No matter how much I think I can't find any good solution for Freya, I can just leave it for the time being and take a step at a time, although I have already left a mark on her so she should be safe.
For me and Lena I have some plans for it. I have asked for help from Ellen just hope everything goes well.
... I was definitely not waiting here in hope of another damsel in distress plot, right definitely not.
I shook my head to shake off the evil thoughts from my mind before teleporting again to my room.
Inside the room, I was sleeping quietly before I sat up and looked in the direction of the door. I just noticed the presence of someone outside my room, well I do know who it is outside and I have an even ridiculous idea why she is here.
'Knock, knock.'
I walked towards the door and opened it and feigned a surprised expression on my face.
"Sister?!"
Lena looked at me a little hesitantly as if struggling inside. "mm...Brother, were you asleep?"
"Nope, why don't you come inside first."
I turned around moved towards my bed and sat down while Lena followed behind me after closing the door.
I looked at her again with a confused expression. " why are you standing."
She then bit her lips, walked towards me and spoke, "Can I sleep here tonight?"
Happiness come so suddenly I even forgot to react fortunately with my years of experience I recovered soon enough and analysed the situation.
...It seems like the Goddess of luck is smiling towards me today.
Although I haven't planned this but looks like because of today's event Lena has made this decision in a haste. Normally, I would have avoided a situation like this and have her time ... But normally and today is not normal.
I put on a complicated expression and asked, " are you sure about this?" I was smirking inwardly though. I am pretty sure Lena is not a child and understand what it means.
She put on a conflicted expression for a while but finally made a determined face and nodded towards me. "Yes, I think it thoroughly."
And before I could say anything, she moved her hand towards her shoulder and started to remove the straps of her dress.
She then removed her blue dress, leaving her milky-white skin completely exposed. The black-haired girl covered her breasts with her arms and looked at me with an embarrassed but determined look.
I looked at Lena with a serious smile.
When I noticed the determination on her gaze, I sighed and nodded.
"Very well, if that is what you want."
