***
The night was dark and gloomy.
A lone carriage passed through the dark alleyways as raindrops fell down the cloudy night sky.Sounds of splashing muddy water echoed as the luxurious carriage pulled through the alley, turning right.
The uneven pavements were devoid of traffic and all that could be found was a drunkard, drinking his life out or the occasional sounds of erotic moans derived from the pleasures of flesh which echoed from the dark.
However,the carriage kept on moving forward before stopping infront of a large mansion's gate.
The carriage stopped infront of a large gate as the coachman pulled on the reigns of the horse, effectively halting it.
From the carriage ,the man in the black trench coat came down and thumped on the gate three times,with small pauses in between.
Immediately,the gates opened with a creak, revealing a woman dressed in a black jumpsuit,while being covered up to her face,coldly looking at him.
Her hair was tied in a bun and on her back was a 45 inch longsword.On her hips were three pairs of deadly daggers attached to her perfect body.
She looked just like a personification of a deadly femme fatale.
But as soon as the man's eyes fell on the beautiful woman,his nether region quivered up as a lustfull expression came upon his face.
'Damn! she is a total bombshell!'
'Thank goodness I took this job!
'Maybe ..just maybe...If I could have just a night...ah!',thought the man while oogling at her nether regions, completely overlooking the daggers at her hips.
However,before his eyes reached further down,the woman comanded coldly as her Tier 3 Aura engulfed her entire body ,"Is it here...."
The man's eyes constricted as an immediate sense of dread engulfed his entire body as he thought,
'Tier 3...shit!'.
The man's body shivered in cold sweat as he looked down immediately and finally opened his mouth ,
"Ye-Yes...Miss"
"Leave it here.And hand over the Slave contract",ordered the woman.
"Yes...",the man complied obediently as he took out a yellow coloured paper filled with runes from his black briefcase.
Handing over the paper to the woman,he bowed with a signature smile,akin to a seasoned merchant,on his face as he revealed his teeth and said,
"Pleasure to do business with you.Please use our services,again".
The woman's clear blue eyes glowed sharply hearing his voice before loosing its lusture.
Nodding her head,she comanded,"Where is it?"
"The antique pot is here ,Miss",said the man while pointng at the cargo, sweating profusely.
The woman swept her eyes over the cargo and walked towards it before pulling over a large human sized pot.
Looking at the man she asked,"This?"
"Yes,Miss ..."
Nodding her head,the woman picked up the pot and strode inside the mansion without talking for a single time,before the closing doors shut.
Thump!
The man kept on bowing this entire time but as soon as the woman left,he heaved a sigh of relief as he strode back to the carriage.
Boarding it yet again,he comanded,"Move."
Taking out a napkin,he wiped his face to clean his sweat before taking out a smal bottle of alcohol before gulping it straight down.
Looking through the dimly lit streets,he cursed,
'F*ck this shit! I'm never doing this business again!
"I'm going to quit this job tomorrow,",muttered the man with scrunched eyebrows before the carriage went far away from the mansion.
***
Rebecca came inside the mansion before slaming the door shut and locking it.
Strodding towards the grand staircase,she went upstairs carrying the large pot.
Taking a turn, she tiptoed towards her young masters bedroom and knocked on the door.
Knock!
Knock!
"Young master? Are you awake?", inquired Rebecca.
Sound of footsteps echoed before the door opened revealing her young master.
Mika saw Rebecca wearing tha same jumpsuit she had worn before as his eyes constricted, looking at her beautiful peaks bulging out of her chest.
Noticing her young Master's gaze devoid of lust,on her big chest,Rebecca grinned seductively as she said,
"Is there something on my chest, young Master~"
But as soon as her voice reached his ears,his figure jolted awake as he immediately averted his eyes and turned around saying,"Come in..."
Seeing the somewhat flustered reaction of her Young Master,she inwardly sighed,
'Thank Goodness! Atleast he is normal and has similar thoughts that teenagers of his age have!'
But what she didn't know that Mika had his [Spirit Vision] activated all this time and was actually looking inside her chest to see the changes in her orbs.
'Man!....if I continue doing this,people might really consider me a pervert'
He knew that looking at any woman's chest ,big or small,might potentially tell them that he was checking them out.Infact,the reaction he gave to Rebecca,typical of a teenager,was actually pre-planned.
'It really is tiring thinking about how to feel or act in such situations.And thank that bloody entity that I have a somewhat, good-looking face.'
'Atleast women won't kill me for checking them out in this body.'
'But this skill really is useful sometimes! Atleast I will be able to keep my sanity in these situations',thought Mika.
Breathing a sigh of relief,Mika strodded towards his bed and sat on it,followed by Rebecca as she brought forth the pot and locked the door.
Click!
Walking up to Mika,Rebecca stood in fron tof him while gazing into his eyes before keeping the pot on the ground.
Mika was so cautious as to how he should act at infront of her,he had overlooked the large pot she was holding.
But now when the pot was in front of him did he realised that she was carrying something that heavy towards his room.
'She is super strong it seems.I guess my speculation was wrong.She will be a great ally if I could recruit her'
'But why is a pot here? And that too this late at night? If it's a gift she could give it to me tomorrow as well,right?'
'Infact, didn't the slave arrive now? Where is it?,'contemplated Mika as he looked at Rebbeca.
Seeing her master's wandering eyes, Rebecca sighed as she suddenly snapped her fingers invoking an orange coloured hexagon full of runes manifesting infront of the pot.
Rebecca chanted in some unknown language for a couple of seconds before a fireball manifested infront of the pot as it instantly incinerated the pot.
Mika's eyes constricted as the dimly lit room glowed for a couple of seconds before he saw the pot melt.
But all he had in his mind was...
'Its Magic!Real Magic!'
'I knew that this world has it and infact I have been treated with it but.... seeing it happening infront of your eyes...it really feels surreal...'
'Its beautiful...',thought Mika as he watched the pot slowly melt away.
But before he could come out of his stupor,Rebbeca chanted for another time as a ball made of water manifested instead of a fire ball.
Sounds of splashing ensured his ears as smoke filled the entire room.
Cough!
Cough!
Coughing profusely,Mika cleared out the smoke while jerking his hands before his eyes got affixed at a figure laying on the floor, unconscious.
It was woman,no doubt about it.
But what fascinated Mika was her delicate long ears which fluttered profusely, jerking away the excess water which accumulated on it.
And looking up towards him was a voluptuous woman with dirty,chopped silver hair looking at him with eyes full of anger and with a thirst for blood.
As soon as her dark eyes met Mika's ocean blue eyes,the woman lunged at him with the intention to kill.
However,just as she jumped, the glistening silver chain attached to her neck scrunched up as he eyeballs bulged open.
"Guaagh!..Guaagh!"
Sounds of gagging echoed inside the dark room as the woman knelt on the floor, holding her neck in a attempt to free herself,saliva dripping down her dreadful face.
Mika was stupedified looking at her as he never thought that the first thing a slave would do was to kill it's master.And this time he was struggling to keep his act in check as the threat to his life had forcefully activated that dreadfull skill.
All he had on his mind was the word....
'Escape', echoing inside his head.
But taking in deep breaths,Mika stabilized his mental condition and met the eyes of woman as he stood in the same position,just like a statue.
Taking in the other end of the silver chain,Rebecca strodded towards the other side of the room and attached it to one of the grills of the window.
Locking it up,She turned around and faced Mika, asking him,
"Are....you scared Young Master?", inquired Rebecca.
To which Mika just nodded slightly and heaved a sigh of relief.
Soldering more of her belief that her young master was gradually becoming like a normal teenager,Rebecca took out the yellowish paper filled with runes and handed it over to Mika.
As Mika looked over the clauses of the slave contract, Rebbeca swept her brown eyes over the shriveled Elf ,covered in burned rags,laying on the floor beside the window.
Rebecca's eyes constricted as soon as he Reyes fell on the slaves body as she analysed every part of it.
'Hmm...her abdominal muscles have ample defination.And thsoe calluses in her hands...most probably a swordswoman or a knight.'
'And a powerful one as well....hmm tier 2 maybe?She has silver hair,dark skin and her right ear is cut off...then....'
Rebecca's eyes turned sharp as she realised,
'A dark elven knight as well as an 'Exiled'.That too of a prominent Aristocrat of Milis....good...'
Turning her head back towards Mika she said,
"Are you ready for the ritual, Young Master?"
"Yes, I am",answered Mika.
"Then,do as I say and repeat after me..."
Turning her eyes sharply as the slave,she said,"And you! Slave!... repeat after me and do as I say or else...."
Pulling on the chains binding her neck,Rebecca jerked them.
Sounds of gagging echoed the room yet again.
"ANSWER ME!",shouted Rebecca.
Looking at her now,Mika was really terrified.
'Man!..she is scary!'
But shaking his head away he looked over to the slave panting profusely and she finally nodded her head.
"Good..."said Rebecca with a sigh.
Turning her head back to Mika ,she started chanting magical incantations.
Not wanting to miss out on discerning the once-in-a-lifetime phenomenon,Mika activated his [Spirit Vision].
Entering his self-named spirit world,Mika noticed tiny orbs of blue light acumulating around the palm of Rebecca in form of a stream, concentrating at its centre.
'So this is mana....'thought Mika as his eyes wandered around the entire room.
'It seems I can see the flow of mana in this Spirit world..', contemplated Mika.
After finishing her incantations,Rebecca opened her eyes and said,"Please drop your blood on this contract"
Mika complied and bit his finger,dropping a tiny speck of crimson blood on the contract.
Rebecca chanted ,yet again,as she brought forth the contract towards the slave this time,and plunged it on her chest.
Instantly,a hexagon shaped rune glowed on her chest,as she screamed uncontrollably.
Feeling an itch,Mika noticed his left palm heating up as well.Looking at his palm he saw a hexagon shaped rune engraved on his hand, burning his skin as blood trailed down his palm.
After sometime,the magical rune dimmed down as the woman finally became quiet and was knocked unconscious.
Seeing that the elven woman was no longer squirming,Rebecca brought forth a basket full of clothes worn by women as well as two blood red vials.
Handing over both of the to Mika,she said,
"Young master,Please keep these on the table beside.Its already midnight and as the slave is asleep now, I will come over tomorrow morning and clean her"
But just then her eyes constricted as she said in a serious tone,"But, remember young master.If she wakes up,never do anything she tells you to do."
"Please remember that some dark elves are proficient in Illusion Magic,so...be careful."
Listening to the serious tone in which Rebecca was talking,Mika nodded his head as he looked up and said,
"Dont worry Reb.You can be rest assured that I will take care of myself."
Squinting his eyes,he added,"And I have to make her agree to be my teacher as well...."
Hearing his thoughts,Rebecca inquired,"But ,young master....can't I teach you as well..."
"I mean,it's combat training,right?I can do that as well,Can't I?
But hearing her reasoning,Mika shook his head and answered,"No Rebecca.You do so much for our house,I can't burden you with teaching me now ,can I?"
"But..",Rebecca stuttered.
"No buts!",said Mika before explaining again,"Remember Reb? I'll be going to the Academy.I heard , every scion has to have a knight for protection.I can't ask you to serve as my knight now,can I"
"If you start serving me as my knight and accompany me to the academy,which I would never want to refuse,who would look after mother then?",reasoned Mika.
Rebecca just squinted her eyes while she heard his reasoning but instead of ending the conversation here,Mika stuttered while acting like a shy 13 year old,
"I ...I..can't put you into harm as well.I read that the Royal Academy is full of Politics and Schemes."
"I should not take you there and make you go through such schemes...if they harm you..what will I do then?",said Mika with a visible blush on his face.
Rebecca's eyes opened wide as she heard her self proclaimed child speak before pulling him into her ample bosom,stuffing his face with her snowy peaks.
Unable to comprehend what had happened,Mika found himself between the two mountains of serenity,and for the first time he felt that the Skill [Caged Emotions] was more of a curse that a blessing.
'Man ,I can't even have an erection now ,shit!',thought Mika.
Pulling himself out of her embrace,Mika stood on his toes as he pecked her cheek and smiled beautifully at her.
"Good Night, Rebecca".
Rebecca was stunned as she had never imagined that her young master would one day take the initiative to kiss her.
So ,with a stunned look on her face,she nodded her head before dragging her feet though the carpet, finally exiting the room.
Closing the door ,she leaned on the side wall of the hallway,closing her beautiful eyes,as her face turned red, smiling beautifully.
Her eyes softened,as her hands clasped her ample bosom as she muttered,
"He remembered...."
