Third POV
Marquess Bellatorius as he was discussing with the guest saw that her daughter suddenly left with a boy and a girl, clearly it was her birthday party but she is going to leave the party early.
"Sorry Marquess It seems my son has led Lady Eleanor away" William informed Marquess as he also noticed his sons behavior
"So it is your son, never mind, its a miracle that she was able to stay here for this long" Marquess said to William as a helpless smile flashed across his face
"It would seem your daughter has gone as well" Marquess said to Baron Beaumont who was also with them
Lord Beaumont was clearly surprised, as to why his obedient daughter went from the party
"Do forgive them Marquess they are young and ignorant" Lord Beaumont tried to ease the situation
As marquess was talking to the guest his son also came to ask something
"Father do you want me to go and get her" Edward the second oldest son asked as he was also a little annoyed at her sisters rude behavior
"No need let her enjoy today its her day after all and I believe they have only gone for a walk and will return soon" Marquess said as he looked at the place where her daughter went
'But that child is interesting' He thought he was able to subtly cast a spell without anyone noticing and the transmogrification was also very interesting as he was able to rearrange the molecular structure of the wood into a flower
"William your son what's his name" Marquess asked Baron Winchester
"My lord.. His name is Vergil Winchester my lord" William replied he was surprised how Vergil was able to catch the interest of the marquess
"Vergil Winchester... It would seem your son will be enrolling the academy as well "
"Yes this session he will be taking the exam" William said as he was also little nervous for his son as he thought about the abilities of his son,
"My daughter would also be enrolling this semester at the academy, I feel they will become good friend" Marquess said to William
"It will be an honor to be your daughters friend Marquess" William said as he thanked Marquess
'It would seem the marquess wants Vergil to take care of his daughter, but why ?' William thought of the reason
Marquess said no further and stopped discussion about Vergil as he went back entertaining the guest
Vergil POV
I knew that we would be noticed as soon as we leave the hall, so we have to return after some time as it would feel rude to leave the gathering prematurely,
"We can only go near as we have to return back" I told them
"Don't worry follow me I will take you to a quite place" Eleanor said as she told us to follow us
Eliza still a little nervous as it was her first time doing something out of rules
"Its fine Eliza, no need to panic we will return in 30 to 45 minutes at most, If someone says we can always give excuse of not feeling well" I reassured Eliza
"If you say so" Eliza said after taking a deep breath
"relax, father wont mind us going" Eleanor said carelessly
As we followed Eleanor through the castle, I looked around , the castle was much bigger than our own castle there were many portraits of the ancestor of the family. There is also a magic protection placed around the castle, It would seem the security was really high also there were guards stationed around the castle, and they observed us in the shadows
'Security is a bit to tight' I thought
Eleanor lead us to garden it was a beautiful sight to behold there were many flowers dancing under the wind of the starry sky with the two moons flowing there light on the garden giving it an ethereal beauty butterflies looming over the flowers
"Beautiful" Eliza said as she looked at the garden and mesmerized by the scenery
"isn't I come here when I am bored" Eleanor said as she looked me and Eliza
I also felt refreshed looking at the scenery, It would seem Eleanor repeatedly sneaks out over here. Now she needed someone because of she left alone that will put a bad impression on her, but if someone is with her it would be felt as friends hanging out
"How about we introduce ourselves again as I don't know much about you. I will go first. I am Eleanor Bellatorius, an Aura user, I specialize in Spearmanship and currently I am a 3 star swordswoman " Eleanor introduced herself properly
(NOTE: Swordsman/swordswoman will be used as a general term for aura user irrespective of there weapons)
"My name is Eliza Beaumont, I am a Magician, currently I am Tier 3 magician, I specialize in Water, Earth and Light arts." Eliza introduced herself
"Well I'm Vergil Winchester, A magician, I am Tier 1 magician and I specialize in Fire Thunder Wind and Dark arts" I said a bit embarrassed, feeling somehow left out
"Ahh.. Vergil you are only at 1st circle" Eleanor said being surprised as she thought I was stronger
Even Eliza was surprise she must have thought I was at least Tier 2 magician
I don't know I felt a tinge of disappointment in her eyes
'well that's probably how she views weak people' I guessed
Than we began to talk a little about our hobbies as we went forward and time passed I felt my guess was right she indeed began to pay less attention to me talking more with Eliza, strictly speaking Being at Tier 3 is considered genius because if there is no mistake you will definitely reach grandmaster level in the future. so that is also the reason Marquess pays special attention to Eleanor. It would seem her brothers are not as talented as Eleanor
As I was thinking I felt someone approaching, Odd I thought normally the security is very strict at this point that no one other than family can come here. I looked back and saw a maid coming here
"Young Miss, these are snacks prepared for you and your friends," the maid announced, presenting the basket with a smile
"Did you request these, Lady Eleanor?" I inquired, noting the unusual arrival of snacks in the secluded garden.
"No, they must have been sent on their own," Eleanor replied casually, seemingly unconcerned about the unexpected delivery.
As the maid laid out the snacks, I couldn't shake the feeling of suspicion creeping over me. Something about her silent demeanor and the timing of her arrival seemed off
"please young missus and master" she invited as she stepped back and left
"Come on Eliza lets eat" Eleanor said as she pulled Eliza as it would seem they have become quite close,
I don't know why I am feeling a little suspicious about this maid. the reason being she was too quite if it weren't for my heightened sensitivity due to space I also wouldn't have noticed
