Glassia walked and stopped a few meters distance from the throne and the kneeled on one knee in front of him.
She bowed to him and spread the hems of her skirt like a professional maid should express.
"I had arrived at the appointed time my dear master!" Glassia spoke with a smile.
"Yes, you have arrived at a very excellent time my dear", Helix spoke to her.
"First, let's provide you the general important information before we will proceed." Helix continued.
"Yes my Lord! I would like to hear it from you" Glassia bowed as her tone now sounded serious.
"I have gained my first contact mage. Her name is Cecilia and she is currently resting in my room. You should talk to her after this meeting and solve all your doughts" Helix advised his maid as he saw her contemplating something serious.
"I will definitely talk to her my lord. I can't even tell how excited I am right now on just thought of meeting her." Glassia spoke with an erie tone as her thoughts run wild.
"I can sense your profound happiness, just don't go overboard in your actions." Helix let out a grin as he spoke.
"Fear not my lord, i will control my self to my utmost limit." Glassia reassured me but her tone didn't let helix relax his mind.
"Well enough discussions about this topic; Now let's discuss about our current concerning situation about the neighbours naton lords" Helix finally spoke with seriousness as his relaxed face completely disappeared from his face.
Every one nodded at his words as Glassia also taked a chair and sat near helix.
"Saturus i need the reports about the nearby villages now" Helix spoke as he gazed at him.
"I have recently acquired the news this morning that four villages present near our castle has gladly welcomed you as their new lord" Saturus informed him.
"Really, it means there must be some highly concerning reason as how easily they accepted us" Helix reasoned as the surrounding environment became tense.
"You have guessed correctly my lord, i have been again amazed by your intelligence" Saturus hurriedly praised him to ease the current atmosphere.
"Enough flattering, now tell me the reasons that now concern us," Helix cutoff his flattery and asked him again.
"I have received the reports that previously in Lord Mest's rule they have been taxed very heavily as result they are now facing the situation of poverty.
The farmers can't even afford their daily needs regularly. It seemed that Lord Mest have enjoyed his luxury by the sufferings of this people." Saturus briefed his report.
"I think there no needs to collect the taxes from them" Kevin raised his voice unhappily.
"Things doesn't work like this Kevin, you have to understand that we need funds to operate our domain and Castle." Saturus corrected him as his mage.
"Ok then, i will inspect the villages tommorow morning. If anyone wants to come, he or she can tell me later." Helix spoke now as Kevin became silent.
"This discussion ends here but lastly I want to hear about the reaction of the neighbouring lords about my lordship." Helix spoke curiously.
Helix was sitting on the throne as he gazed at the people present inside the throne room.
"My lord, the surrounding lord's are vying for a single opportunity to attack us as they consider us weak" Saturus informed helix about the situation.
"That's a concerning matter but i believe Glassia you should disperse your familiars
in the surrounding neighborhoods." Helix commanded her.
"As you wish my lord, i will do it after this meeting." Glassia agreed to me.
"I want to spend some time alone in silence, Glassia you can now visit Cecilia and woke her up if she is still sleeping.
Helix spoke as he gone outside the castle in the garden to calm his mind and Glassia went towards his sleeping chamber.
***************
Cecilia POV~
"Huhhhh.." Cecilia moved as she woke up and found no one beside her.
"few... What a refreshing sleep after a long time"Cecilia eyes fluttered as she sat on the bed wondering, when Helix left the bed.
"Hey, i still haven't sent the message to her adopted sister 'Aisha Evelyn'." Cecilia thought as she instantly gathered mana for the familiar Summoning.
"Converge" Cecilia spoke as she completed gathering Abyssal mana and summoned her contracted familiar in her room.
The portel opened and a small black cat appeared in front of her.
Cecilia picked up the cat in her arms and told him near his ear.
"Listen, go to the Aisha and told her to come in this castle hurriedly before the dawn happens." Cecilia orderd the black cat.
The cat nodded his head and mixed completely in the shadows to travel and deliver the message.
"Knock.. knock..."
"Who is it" Cecilia asked and wonderd who came now knocking the door.
