"Welcome back my lord",When i returned back to mansion from the mission both fia and lisia greeted me.
"My lord who is he", whey they saw an assassin on my back they questioned me.
"Well, he is the assassin who has attacked me during the mission", i explained the details of the mission to them.
Suddenly the room temperature dropped down, there's a thick tension formed when my ladies looked at the Assassin on my back.
I sighed and made a silent gesture to not woke him up as he is a dangerous assassin, we have to take full precaution in handling this situation.
Then, i took him in my recently created dungeon in the basement om my mansion .
"Kllik"
I opened the lock of the dungeon and entered in one of the prisoners room and tied him his legs and hands behind his back in one of the pillars, then i carefully removed his mask.
And look what we found out the Assassin was non other than the family head of Tuatha Dé domain head- "Cain Tuatha Dé".
"Cain Tuatha Dé huh", i never thought I would meet protagonist father someday like this.
Memories surfaced about the information i remember about the Tuatha Dé house from the anime.
House Tuatha Dé was a noble house of the kingdom of Alvan—itself one
of the four major kingdoms on the continent—and the head of the house
claimed the rank of baron.
Baron was one of the lowest ranks among nobles, and as such, they
didn't hold much land. But despite that, Tuatha Dé was extremely wealthy.
On the surface, House Tuatha Dé was a respected family that possessed
the best medical knowledge in the kingdom. It was well known that they'd
used their superior curative methods to earn themselves great rewards and the
favor of the royal family as well as many other upper class noble houses.
It was hidden from the public eye, however, that the Tuatha Dé clan
headed a group of assassins that carried out requests for the royal family and
a certain dukedom. They used murder as a tool to remove those who had
become a liability for the country.
I woke him up directly by splashing cold water on his face without any courtesy.He started to woke up.
"Huh, i am still alive". Cain mumbled his first line like this.
"Yup Oldman, you should thank me for keeping you alive". I talked him with joking manner.
He finally sees me from head to toe, judged me from his experience and said -
"Aren't you quite young to be Assassin".
"Not really old man, age doesn't matter when you have to protect yourself and your family members from this greedy world", i answered.
"Hey can't you respect your elders and it's not your age to do these dirty jobs", he tries to show seniority.
"No hard feelings old man can't want to take precautions against an enemy but no matter how bloody and dirty it is it's a job isn't it", I continued.
"Well nice to meet you Cain Tuatha Dé , I am H.R. the head of the newly prosperous evergreen domain", i introduced myself.
"Really you are quite young to create such a prosperous domain. If have not seen your sword arts, i may have not believed it. You are a high rank mage too. Interesting",Cain praised me, showing interest in me.
"Let's leave these talks for later time so, what Is your last wish",the moment i asked this question the atmosphere turned little sorrowful.
"Can't i leave safely",Cain requested me.
"Well definitely you can but as you have to owe me a favor and for now for keeping you alive and i want eyes like yours as i have taken a liking to your special eyes old man", i continued.
"I also injected a slow poison in your body old man which will kill you exactly 2 hour later, so if you want to still keep continue living, then choose carefully", i threatened him.
"You know howww", Cain questioned.
"Don't try to look into me old man, and how i know about your mystic eyes that's a secret", i tried to act little mysterious.
Cain hesitated but finally agreed.
He is finally going to perform the surgey for it. I also informed fia to inject the antitode after the surgery.
Timeskip<<<<<
When I awoke, I was greeted by total darkness.
Cain had wrapped a
bandage around my head after finishing the operation.
Once he'd judged it safe to remove the gauze, which was only moments
later thanks to my Rapid Recovery skill, I did so and opened my eyes.
Immediately, I was overtaken by just how much my vision had been altered.
There was a marked increase in my perception.
I looked outside the window and found my long-distance vision
had improved as well. Objects in motion appeared far clearer, and it seemed
I'd even acquired a stronger sense of depth.
I'd also acquired the ability to see mana. Normally, mana was something
one could only sense, yet now I could faintly make out its flow within my
body.
Being able to see an opponent's mana would allow me to predict their
movements, a major advantage in any fight. These new eyes of mine were
basically cheating.
Unfortunately, such a sudden increase in capability was more than my brain could handle at first, and I was struck by a massive headache.
I knew
that before long, Rapid Recovery and Limitless Growth would help my mind adapt and process this new information. For the time being, I would just have
to endure.
But my head is now resting on fia bosom and legs are being cleaned by Lisia .
"Are you fine my lord, master".
Both asked me at same time and i could discern the concern in their voices .
And look like only they are not the only concerned person, my familiars are also anxious in summoning space .
I bring them out and it suprises both fia and lisia.
My lord what a beautiful wolf, lisia strated touching fur of the tempest and "tempest" like it to .
But fia is just mesmerized by the "flamice" voice .
I gave them permission to spend time with my familiars as i started taking rest.
