Soon the mansion was filled with a light murmur from the staff about the moments that had happened what felt like mere moments ago. At the moment me, Carly, Vishala, Grace and Koto are waiting in the waiting area just before the main doors to the mansion. Ironically Carly was holding Vishala in her small land dragon form with her bosom resting ontop of Vishalas head. Carly stood beside me with her eyes closed and a jubilant smile. A smile that made my heart quiver at its first sight. I was brought out of my revery when suddenly a trumpet was blown announcing Duke James VonRay Salis' arrival. Before the maids could properly open the door four men bust in through the door with a squad of 15 knights breaking both entry gates in half causing them to smash off the hinges. Luckily the maids on the side was unharmed. In the middle of the group of knights stood four people. All four of them was turning their heads back and forth scanning the faces of all the people present before finally all four peoples sight simultaneously fall on Carly who now has a completely shocked and confused face.
"Carly! Thank the gods you are safe! There was a creature's aura pressure coming from here! Oh! Thanks gods you're safe! Now time to find that menacing creat—" James began to quickly walk to Carly why speaking just to suddenly make eye contact with the small purple land dragon that is staring at him with blatant killing intent, thus causing James to halt suddenly and began to visably sweat profusely.
'Why is such a creature being held in her arms like a teddy bear. Just.... HOW! Oh fuck... i think its going to eat me. I haven't even seen it before i already pissed it off....' James thought with extreme trepidation.
A eery silence fell over the house as all the knights felt as if they move at any point, their life would cease to exist. It was a hallowing experience before even the most veteran knights amongst them. That silence was soon dispelled by Seth who stood with a blue colored revolver with intrinsic designs in his right hand with a warry and confused look.
"Vishala please calm down. I assume this is James and his escorts. In other words Carlys father if you insist we may talk about what has angered you after we welcome them inside, but for now stay your fangs."
Vishala takes a quick glance at me before setting her eyes back on James. The killing intent has disappeared for all but one person. A man that seemed to dress as a rogue was sweating even more that before as all the people back away involuntary from the singled out man. Soon Vishala replyed back.
"Very well~ I will do as you say but... this.. man here has a questionable aura. He holds harmful intentions to your mate and her father. With your permission i wish to force my way into his mind and know exactly why. Of course if its found to be acceptable for any reason he will come out unharmed~~" Her ancient ethereal voice drips with a judgment fulfilled accusatories.
I eye the man for an short time as i see him began to shake in fear as his eyes keep moving between James, Me, Carly, and Vishala in that exact order back and forth. I turn my head to Vishala and nod my head with an serious body posture. Carly lets Vishala drop to the floor. When she lands a simple phrase escapes her draconic mouth as her eyes glow with a deep purple radiance.
"Mind Seeker: The Reader!"
Suddenly the rogue drops to his knees with a loud thump. Holding the sides of his head while staring into Vishalas eyes with pure unadulterated rage as she scans easily through his memory. In moments soon the pressure she is releasing on the rogue surges causing the man to pass out. I glance at Vishala who seems to have a disgusted look in her eyes before looking at me keeping the same face from what she just saw.
"Seth... this man must die. He planned to use the Duke as a pawn to make this kingdom eat itself from inside out. All the while when using Carly as a hostage, he would be using her for elitist pleasure. So that when the Duke has regained his daughter she would be broken..." She queried to me with a sicken sadness in her beautiful ethereal tone.
At this time the Duke and a man dress in armor of the four began to scrutinize the Rouged figure in deafening silence, but my attention was else where. Specifically the blue box floating in my vision.

The blue screen immediately disappears after i finish reading it's prompt. I cast a glance at the rogue individual and raise my left hand as it begins to glow a brown hue. The magic energy surges around the man as a chair is made behind him and rock like vines whip out to bind his hands and feet together dragging him to sit in the chair. After subduing him properly i lower my left hand walk over to him. The system has only been helpful to me so far even if it has only been problematic, in the way it has help me but i trust it.

'Well.. this is a pleasant surprise? Hmmm.... sure, i guess.' With that thought i made a mental command to the prompt accept.
At this time a rainbow color essence seeps out of my chest and wraps around his neck leaving a rainbow colored slim simple collor on his neck looking as if the collor is a part of his skin.
"What the fuck is going on!?!" James finally spoke as i cause my elemental earth magic to dissipate alowing Jack to fall back like a sack of potatoes.
I glance to James and then spoke. "Hello Lord Salis, i wish to introduce myself in a better setting but it seems to be a bit irrelevant at the moment. I am Seth Lyr Sandmen it is a pleasure to finally meet Carly's father. To answer your questions Vishala is the pressure you felt when i summoned her, by extention of her we found this individual who you know is named Jack to have nefarious plans because she is a spirt land dragon and her domain is with the spirit of which involves the mind. I have chosen to bind this man as my slave due to his nefarious plans hence the rainbow colored collor. Later when i have time i will find the one who has planned all of this and make them pay. Simply because they wished to harm your daughter, of which, whom is carring my child." I made gestures with my hands as i explained.
"Babe... I thought we was going to tell father later... Well, good job, bomb dropped and impact is imment." Carly spoke dryly.
'Huh? Wha- ahhhh, fuckin hell.' I thought as i realized my blunder.
"Wait, Wha- whe- how the- oh gods what has happened. I-I can't... what?!?!?" James stood looking back and forth between me and Carly.
"Father, come with me, i will explain, this dork is obviously not that great at explaining." Said Carly as she grabbed James by the arm and dragged him away to a waiting room with the two others in his group following him.
"Um, Uhh, Okay?" James replied complete confusion.
Soon a few maids lead the escort of knights to the servant guest chambers leaving only me, Jack, Vishala and strangly enough Koto as well. Everyone else had left and Grace followed Carly as she dragged her father deeper into the mansion.

'Um, that's a lot to process. All of that because i have made Jack my slave. I'm definitely going to need some time alone.'
"Vishala make your size big enough to carry Jacks body down to the dungeon and make sure he doesn't leave. Koto follow me to my study i'll need you to stand outside and make sure no one comes in." I spoke to them both as i turned and made my way to a place to process my thoughts.
Vishala began todo as i asked and Koto began to follow me but i stopped and turned to look a Koto. "Oh and if you report my actions to anyone ever again even if it is the Duke you will become like him Koto. Please do not for my hand but if you can not do as i ask then atleast resign and leave but if you stay and go against me again i will force your service to be a lifetime commitment." I said calmly with a smile.
"Y-y-yes My Lord. I honestly will need sometime to think, just a day or two. I will have my answer with you by then, i need to seriously consider my options My Lord." Cold sweat slowly dipped from Kotos head as he spoke.
"It is all i ask of you Koto, it is all i ask. Let me know soon but for now follow me to my study and do as i ask before." Not caring for a reaponce i made my way to my study. Today has been one hell of a day. I need time to think. I just hope it doesn't get worse though.
