CLICK!!!

Closing the door behind, Primis was greeted by Ram who was standing outside while waiting for them. Though she was not the only one. There was one more person waiting outside.

Primis: I told you to go ahead.

Emilia: I want to wait.

Emilia was also there waiting with Ram. Hearing her response, Primis gave a sigh and shook his head.

Primis: Anyway. Let's wait for a minute till Subaru is done changing then we will leave.

Emilia: Sur----

However, Ram interrupted Emilia.

Ram: Why don't Sir Rigla and Lady Emilia go together first. I will wait here till Subaru is done and will guide him to the Dining Room.

Before Primis could reply, Emilia spoke.

Emilia: Ok. Then we will leave Subaru to you.

She hurriedly agreed with Ram and turned to Primis with a smile.

Emilia: Let's go, Rigla. Others must be waiting.

Primis: .........…Fine.

Replied Primis before Emilia took him towards the Dining Room. While on the way, Emilia kept on talking about different things. Primis only nodded while listening to her. At first, Emilia was afraid of Primis when she saw his cold eyes in their first meeting. But after last night, she realized that Primis wasn't cold. He was a gentle person as long as one didn't cross his line.

After walking for some time, they arrived at the Dining room. In the middle of the room, there was a large table covered with a white tablecloth. On each side of the table, there were several chairs. There were lights placed on the table even when sunlight was entering inside the room. The walls were green and had white spaces. Behind the Master Chair, there was a huge painting. The figure in the painting was a relative of the Roswaal Family.

Currently, there was only one person in the room. That was of course the lord of this place, Roswaal L Mathers. Roswaal was currently sitting on the master chair. He turned towards them and spoke.

Roswaal: Good Morningggggggggggggg, Rigla. Have youuuuuuuuuuu slept welllllllllllllllll?

Primis nodded in respond.

Primis: Morning, to you too. And yes, I slept well.

Roswaal: Good to hearrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr that.

Primis approached the table and took one chair. Emilia also took one beside him. Once they were done, Rem entered the room with a plate in each hand. After placing them on the table, she left to get more. At this time, another person entered the room. Emilia was surprised to see that person. The person walked towards them and took another seat beside Primis.

Roswaal: It's beennnnnn a long while sinceeeeeeeeee you came to eattttttttttttt with us, Miss Beatriceeeeeeeeeee.

Beatrice: Um. Betty was hungry today. So, Betty decided to join.

Emilia: Good Morning, Miss Beatrice.

Beatrice: Um. Good morning, Emilia.

At this time, Subaru entered the room. Since this was the first-time meeting with Roswaal, they both introduced themselves. Though he became embarrassed to greet Beatrice after the punishment she gave him, but to not lower himself in Emilia's eyes he greeted her too. Next, Rem and Ram entered together with the remaining plates. Once they placed them on the table, they stood behind Roswaal like how a maid should.

Breakfast started. Subaru, Roswaal, and Emilia were ones talking while others remained silent. Beatrice on many occasions was stealing glances at Primis who ignored her. Subaru started remarking how good the food was, in return, Ram and Rem bowed. Once they were done, Subaru got up from his seat and looked at Emilia.

Subaru: Emilia-tan.

Emilia: Yes, Subaru?

Subaru: I would like to repay you guys in some way. You did heal me after all.

He seemed quite happy in saying that. Though Emilia didn't agree.

Emilia: No. I couldn't possibly ask you for something. After all, you are a guest.

Subaru became silent and started pondering about something. Suddenly, his eyes shone as he thought of something.

Subaru: I know. I could work as a butler to help around the manor.

Emilia: You don't have to force Yourself.

Subaru: It's alright. It's alright. What do you think, Roswaal?

Roswaal: I think this will dooooooooooo. We have someeeeeeeeee spare suits upstairssssssssssssss. Rem can guideeeeeeeee you towards themmmmmmmmm.

Subaru: That's great. Hey, Rigla. Let's do it together.

On the contrary, Primis just shook his head.

Primis: Sorry, Subaru. I can't join. I have some matters to attend to. So, we will be parting our ways here.

Subaru: Huh? Parting our ways here? Hey, you don't mean you are----

BANG!!!!!!!

Though before Subaru could continue, Emilia abruptly stood up from her seat as the chair fall behind with a bang. She ignored it and put her entire attention on Primis.

Emilia: You are leaving!

Everyone in the room except Primis was shocked to witness Emilia's reaction. That was not all, there was one thing that others didn't notice. The moment Primis said he would be leaving, Beatrice, who was standing at his side, held the corner of his jacket.

Primis: I am.

Emilia: Why? You just came last night. At least let me show some gratitude.

Primis: You have already shown enough gratitude by letting us stay here last night, healing Subaru, and agreeing with him working here.

Emilia: But that's----

Primis: It was enough.

Emilia: ......

Saying this, Primis moved his hand towards Beatrice hand which was holding his jacket to remove it when...

SHINE!!!!!!!!!!!!

A purple light started to shine the moment his hand touched Beatrice's. Then a huge pillar of purple light rose high in the sky. It was so bright that even the people in the village nearby could also see that.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Primis narrowed his eyes witnessing this.

'Primis: No. I didn't initiate any contract with Beatrice. Neither did she. In the first place, both parties must agree to make one. Then why......'

Suddenly, Primis sensed something and looked inside himself. There he saw that his "Darkness, Incantation Symbol" was releasing a lot of power and some of them were even being given to Beatrice.

'Primis: So, that's how it is. It was my "Darkness, Incantation Symbol" that started the contract. Now that I think about it, Beatrice is very good at using Shadow Magic. Shadow is a part of Darkness. Since "Darkness, Incantation Symbol" initiate the contract on its own, this means she could be beneficial to me.'

Looking at Beatrice who was standing in the middle of purple pillar with him, everyone in the room was looking at them with dumbfounded expressions.

A minute later, the pillar disappeared and Primis spoke.

Primis: I guess I will also be living in the manor for some time. Though most of the time, I will be in the library with Beatrice. Is it fine with you, Roswaal?

Everyone snapped out of their thoughts as Roswaal spoke.

Roswaal: It willllllll be okkkkkkkkk. And one moreeeeee thing. Congratulations onnnnnnnnnn making contract withhhhhhhhhhhh Beatrice.

Ram: Congratulations.

Rem: Congratulations.

Ram and Rem also congratulated both.

Emilia: Congratulations Rigla. Congratulations Miss Beatrice.

Primis nodded while Beatrice lowered her head to hide her embarrassment.

Beatrice: T-Thank you.

???: Congratulations, Betty.

Suddenly, a spirit manifested in front of Emilia. The Spirit was nine centimeters tall and was small enough to fit in the palm of a person's hand. Its resemblance was that of a house cat. The light grey and white fur that coated his entire body was well-groomed and very soft. His eyes were Bright Aqua blue, and his pink nose was another trait that separates him from a house cat. His tail was abnormally long to the point that it was the length of his body, and his ears were floppy. On his left ear, he was wearing a single golden hoop earring that made his ear drop down.

He was the contracted spirit of Emilia. Another artificial spirit created by the "Witch of Greed". The current "Great Spirit of Fire" also "Beast of the End". Puck.

Puck flew towards Beatrice and started patting her head.

Puck: You wait is finally over, Betty.

Beatrice: U-Um. Thank you, Puckie.

Puck descended a little started wiping the little tears that had formed in Beatrice eyes. Once Beatrice calmed down, Puck turned his attention to Primis.

Puck: Please take care of Betty.

Primis: I will.

Smiling, he continued.

Puck: I also want to thank you for helping Lia.

Primis: Mn.

At this time, a shout resounded in the room.

Subaru: MAN!!! SERIOUSLY!!!!!!!!!!!

Everyone turned their attention towards the shouting Subaru.

Emilia: Subaru, what happened?

Realizing that everyone was looking at him, Subaru cleared his throat and spoke.

Subaru: Ahem. I am sorry. I was just shocked that my friend was able to contract another spirit.

'All: Another Spirit?'

Emilia: Rigla, do you have another spirit too?

Primis: Yes.

'Primis: It's about time.'

Primis: Celebi.

Space wrapped and the greenish pokémon with large baby-blue-eyes came out. Everyone looked at it. Celebi also looked at everyone and blinked its eyes cutely.

Emilia: How cute.

Emilia already got attracted to it and extended her hands towards it. Celebi looked at Emilia for a second before approaching her. As a nature spirit, it could tell that Emilia was a pure-hearted girl.

Puck: A nature spirit. Huh.

Roswaal: How rareeeeeeeeee.

They both complimented, however, there was a hint of seriousness in their eyes.

'Puck & Roswaal: Strong.'

'Roswaal: This is a first time I have seen this powerful Nature Spirit.'

'Puck: How unexpected. This man Rigla is really something to be able to not only able contract such a strong Nature spirit but even Betty too.'

Puck then glanced at Beatrice who was staring intently at Celebi.

'Puck: I am afraid this spirit is even stronger than Betty herself. And she must have realized it too.'

Just like Puck said, through her connection Beatrice can tell that Celebi was even stronger than her. This made her clench her fists in frustration. She had been waiting for her 'that person' for hundreds of years. Now, she found it but only to realize there was someone who could contribute more than her.

As if sensing her frustration, Primis put his hand on her head and started patting her. Beatrice raised her head and looked at Primis in surprise.

Primis: It's ok. You will become strong too.

Hearing his gentle voice, Beatrice nodded as the frustration building inside her decreased a lot. She then held Primis hand once he removed it. Primis didn't mind as his mind was occupied with other things.

'Primis: Celebi has really become stronger. Before all its stats were at 3,500. But now......…'

[From Level 4 to Level 5. Huh. Not bad, isn't it?]

'Primis: Yes.'

[Well, you will be even more surprised when you will see how strong Moltres has become.]

Hearing this, Primis gave some commands in his mind and look at Moltres strength. Witnessing that, he couldn't help but raise one of his brows.

'Primis: It has really become stronger.'

Emilia: Um...…Um...…Rigla.

Turning his attention to Emilia, Primis asked.

Primis: What is it, Emilia?

Emilia: Is it ok if I play with your Contracted Spiri----

Primis: Celebi.

Emilia: Oh. Sorry about that.

Primis: Mn.

Emilia: So, can I play with Celebi?

Primis: Go on. It seems Celebi also likes you.

Emilia: Really?

Primis: Yes. What do you say, Celebi?

Celebi: Bi…Bi….Bi.

Primis: Looks like it also wants to play with you.

Emilia smiled hearing this. Primis then moved his gaze at Beatrice.

Primis: Let's go to the library.

Beatrice: Mn.

Primis: Oh, one more thing. Roswaal.

Beatrice: Hm? What is itttttttttttttt, Rigla?

Primis: If you don't mind, I want Rem to be on standby near us. So that if I need something, she will be present.

Roswaal: It's okkkkkkkkkk. Ram will handleeeeeeeeeeeeee Subaru's butler trainingggggggggggg.

Nodding his head, Primis turned and left the dining room with Beatrice. Once he was gone, Emilia also left the dining room.

Emilia: Let's play in the garden, Celebi.

Celebi: Bi…Bi...Biiiii.

Because Emilia was only thinking about playing with Celebi, she forgot about her own spirit. Puck, who was looking at Celebi with jealousy hurriedly followed Emilia.

Puck: Lia! Wait for me!
