The next day.
Knoch! Knock! Knoch!
"Good morning master, did you have a great sleep?"
Adonis went inside and saw Viktor was still sleeping. The sunshine was entering the room and it was reflecting on Viktor's hair which was poking out a little.
"Master, wake up, it's 11 in the morning."
"Ugh!! What?"
"It's 11 o'clock master. "
"Yaawnnn!! "
"The guest left in the early morning. He left this letter for you master. Do you want to read it now or at your breakfast table ?"
"You read it. I'm going to the bathroom. Tell me about it on the table. "
"Yes, master."
What a great morning it is! Oh?
He looked down and became speechless.
Good thing that I'm in the bathroom right now. People hit their first puberty at the age of 15 to 17 in this world, so I guess I'm a man now -_-. Again.
Ouch..
After 30 minutes in the dining room.
"Master, did something happen?"
"No, I'm just feeling a little unstable right now.."
"Then I should cook something soft and warm for your dinner."
"Sit down."
I hate when people stare at me when I'm eating. Especially if they are behind. Because I feel like they are about to hit on my head if I did something wrong.
"Pardon?"
"Sit and eat with me. I don't like it when people stand beside me when I'm eating."
"Yes, master."
Adonis quietly took his seat and prepared his plate with a small portion of food.
"You will eat the same thing I will eat from today. No discrimination."
"Yes, master.".
For some reason, Adonis had a small soft smile on his lips. He looked like he was happy.
"Now, tell me about the letter you read."
"Mr Parno said there was a problem with the house papers, they say we scammed them with fake money."
"We paid via Tetrox Bank. How is that even possible?"
"Maybe he was helpless last night, so he decided to take some stupid actions."
Adonis ate his egg with proper manners. He was so shiny and handsome that Viktor had to cover his eyes because of the golden flash.
Ugh! My eyes are already blurry. Just what kind of ancestors you had?
You're a walking light bulb!
"Oh, so you're saying he will take action against us and take over this house?"
"Yes, master. He mentioned that he will complain about this case to the Duke personally. He's really close with the Duke."
"He didn't know that we had paid through a bank transaction, right? Is he crazy?"
Just what kind of idiot is he? So what if he's close with the duke? The Dragon guild is closer to the duke too. If he wants to bite more than he can chew, he'll fall into the trap he made all those years.
And Tetrox bank is a magical bank. There's no way to cheat or give fake money. If they are picking up a fight, they are just pointing their gun at the bank, not me.
"Master, I believe you should inform this matter to the Dragon Guild. If this incident gets involved with the duke, we will have to face a lot of problems."
"Prepare a paper and a pen in my study room. I'll send a gift box to the dragon guild. They will be surprised."
"Yes, master."
…
In the Dragon Guild at 2 PM.
"Hmm. Roselia, did you look into the information that our new club member gave us that day?"
A man was sitting on a chair with a lot of papers and stuff. He was tall, young and a handsome nobleman. The 3rd son of the Duke, Nor Defarnov.
He's known as the most successful businessman in the Brinein territory.
"Sir, you have a mail."
A young woman was looking into the files and found a box with a golden seal on it. It wasn't a part of any noble family seal registered on the imperial noble family tree. It was someone from the outside.
"A mail?"
Nor asked.
"Yes. It's a pure golden half-moon seal. Is this a new family or something?"
"Let me see!"
He walked closer to her and saw a white box made of an unknown material with a golden seal on it. When he looked closer, he knew that it was him. Viktor was the person who sent it.
"Put it on my table."
"But sir, are you sure? This box looks weird."
"Tsk! How many times have I told you not to call me sir. We are siblings!"
But she quietly left the room without saying a thing.
"Hah! She is still holding into her past after her parents died. How am I supposed to catch the murderer of her family without any proper evidence?"
He opened the box and saw the family tree book of The Defarnov branch family, with a letter and the tool that was used for the dark magic which Viktor found in the basement.
He was shocked to read the letter that Viktor sent him.
"Are you serious!!"
He was so angry that he almost broke the table.
"Roseliaa!!!!! Come here!!!!"
...
A few hours later in Viktor's house.
Viktor's POV:
-I already sent the letter and the proof to the duke's son. Now it's about time they visit my house and check this with their own eyes.
The reason why I sent him the book is, it was the only family object that belonged to Roselia Defarnov. She is the only person left in the Defarnov family branch. Her whole family was killed for an unknown reason one night. And fortunately, she was the only person who wasn't at home at that time. After that, The guild bought the house to clean off the evidence and start their scamming business.
But they forgot the main part.
The evidence is still in the basement protected with a dark magic spell. They couldn't remove the bodies, so they just let them rot in the hidden basement and sealed them with dark magic.
So, basically, this house is a graveyard with more than 12 people under my feet.
"Master, the duke's third son Nor Defarnov and the branch family member are here."
"Let them in."
The outside of the house was filled with horses of 3 carriages. It was clear that the duke's family is here to visit. Viktor was watching them walking out of their carriages from his library window.
He was surprised to see the duke's second daughter.
- Woh.. I didn't know that they had a daughter like that. Deep dark hair with blue eyes. She's a beauty. Her appearance is really rare in this world of fantasy where people have red, blue, and pink hair in various shades.
"Master, they are in the guestroom."
"Let's go."
When he walked out of the room, he saw his house was filled with knights from the duke's house. They were wearing iron armour with silver blades.
So, he ignored them and walked into the guest room and saw three people sitting on the sofa worried.
"It's an honour to meet you, sir. I am Viktor, the current owner of this house."
"Viktor you say, people will misjudge you as a noble at this rate."
"I'm flattered."
"Excuse me Viktor, how old are you?"
The black-haired girl asked out of curiosity.
Ba - Dump..!
-My heart can't take her beauty!! Calm down, you old man!! You're 30 years old!!! How can you look at a girl who's only 13!! Are you a pervert??
"Ahem!! I'm only 15 years old, madam Ruby."
"I see, I thought you were more than 18 years old. You're so tall."
"Thank you, madam." -_-.
"Viktor, I believe we have something to discuss right?"
Nor asked him with a cold voice.
But Viktor didn't even get scared. Instead, he smiled and took a seat in front of him.
"Yes, let's talk about the situation down in the basement. "
