Outside the manor Ophelia say goodbye to her friends that still working as a maid for the next village head chief. She enter the carriage with Rein and Sein. There were two different carriage, one for the guest and one for the Aragon family.
"..." Rein and Sein leaned against Ophelia as they slowly leave the manor until it's completely out of sight. They passed the train where Rein and Sein once trolled them.
A week passed they finally arrived at the Aragon estate. A maid approach them to helped them. Azrael and Lucas leaved the carriage with no problem. Lucas offer his hands to helped Amelia get up. Amelia accept his help and get out of the carriage.
"Thank you." She said quietly.
Ophelia were also about to get out of the carriage when suddenly Lucas offered his hands. the siblings already left the carriage earlier from the other door.
Lucas look away "Are you gonna accept my help or what?" He said with a slight blush?
The other that were already outside looked at them two with dumbfounded face. Azrael immediately get the idea on what happening because he also been there 'Well at least it's a smart and nice girl... I approve.' He thought to himself.
"Thank you. Master Lucas. I appreciate the gesture but i could do it myself just okay." Ophelia decline his help and get out herself.
Lucas were stunned. By his reaction you could tell that he was never being rejected by a girl. He quickly composed himself with a fake cough "I thought so." He try to hide his disappointment.
'Poor guy lol' Rein nudge her brother.
Sein get it and gave a nod.
Amelia approach them with a small smile "I'll be your guys tour...!" She said with excitement.
Azrael looked at them "It's a great idea, since you two will be staying here it's great to know the places." He pat their head before going inside to go to his office.
Ophelia follow behind him because she still need to sign the paper about being the new head maid of the Aragon Family.
The three kid look up at Lucas "Do you need a tissue lil bro?" Rein teased.
"Bro doesn't know that Ophelia doesn't like younger boy. Poor man." Sein follow suit.
"It's okay...! Maybe it's because you two just met. Don't worry maybe in the future Miss Ophelia will also develop feeling for you" Unlike the two Amelia try to make Lucas feel better.
Lucas gave them a glare. He crossed his arm "I. Do. Not. Had. Feelings. For. Her." He said but his action earlier said otherwise.
"Yeah whatever lil bro." Rein clearly not buying the act.
Lucas shake his head. He was too disappointed to even argue so he just leave them be and go to his room to distract himself.
"Bro is not GETTING out of the friend-zone." Sein snicker.
"C'mon guys! Don't be like that... It's probably his first love... Anyway. That's not important right now. Come on i'll show you guys the place." Amelia grab Rein and Sein hand and begin to show them inside the mansion.

Rein and Sein jump to their bed feeling absolutely tired from the tour "Damn this shit is big! And you're telling me we only explore half?!" Rein complain.
"You're lucky you still had the energy to complain." Sein were out of breath.
Amelia sat down in front of them "I guess it is quite big. Let's continue the tour tomorrow then." She hesitated a while before throwing herself in the middle of them.
The siblings doesn't complain "How are you not tired?" Rein were confused on how is Amelia not tired.
"Well i've been here almost my entire life so i already used to it."
"Shut up you two. I'm trying to sleep."
"What's that you humongous?!"
"We looked almost the same you brainless thing."
"I'm gonna kill you!"
"Bring it on then!"
They were about to fight but luckily there were Amelia in the middle to stop them from doing so "Pfft- Hahahaha." Amelia couldn't help but chuckle as the siblings continue bickering.
Soon later Ophelia come inside Rein and Sein room just to found out they were asleep with Amelia in the middle. She sighed. She takes a blanked and place it to them so that they won't catch a cold. She couldn't help but smile at their cuteness when asleep, she took out Photo Catcher that the head chief once used to take a photo of the siblings underneath a tree. She used a little mana to active the Photo Catcher. She looked down at the photo on her palm.
She leave the room with a smile leaving the three of them to rest after their little adventure. In the midnight. The three of them were just woken up from their long nap. They looked around just to find that it was already dark and they've payed their sleep debt.
"Explore?"
"Explore."
Sein agreed to Rein suggestion. They jumped out of the bed.
Amelia was a little worried because she never usually go outside this late "A-Are you guys sure? I mean... If you guys go then i'll come to." Even though afraid Amelia doesn't want to be left behind.
Outside at the garden "Wah... The garden feels different in night..." Amelia come over to a plant "Look. It's shining."
The flower beautifully shining as the moonlight hitting it's petal.
"What's so special about a flower." Sein crossed his arm.
"We saw it like everyday." Rein were not even bother to look at flower.
Amelia stand up "Well it's just special." She mutter quietly under her breath.
Rein notice that something were nearby. She looked at her brother. Sein nod conforming Rein suspicion. Since the attack at their cabin Rein and Sein been on guard ever since then which is the reason they knew that something is watching over them.
"Oi. Amelia stay close." Rein scanned the area just to find nothing.
"Don't let your guard down. They might be good at hiding their presence." Rein nodded at Sein word.
Amelia who's behind them get confused by the sudden tense "Is something wrong you two?" From her tone you could tell that she was worry.
"It's nothing. Let's go, we both will take you to your room." Without waiting for an answer Rein already went ahead.
Sein follow behind but he took his time to look back at Amelia to make sure she's following. Amelia catch up with them and ask them some question as they walked back inside. The flower that were shining just a while ago suddenly die as if it was being drained. It's petal fall into the ground.
After sending Amelia off to her room Rein and Sein went to explore the mansion on their own to make sure that there's nothing out of the ordinary.
"Oi. Sein, Do you think Ophelia still up at this time?" Rein went ahead of Sein while asking the question.
"Maybe? She always go to sleep late after all. Do you still remember that magic ball that they say could restore the memory of your loved ones? I think grandpa had one of these... And it probably hold photo of him... He once said that it was top-tier material so it won't get destroyed easily. So i'm thinking maybe that ball is in Ophelia right now because she was the one that take care of things when the cabin get burned." Sein crossed his arm ponder on his own thought.
"You sound and looked like a detective rn ngl."
"I know right lol."
They joked to each other as they go to Ophelia room but they forgot something... This isn't the head chief manor... So they got lost.
"Are we cooked chat?"
"Nah. YOU cooked. Why are you the one that leading while also not knowing where to go?!" Sein feel like his head were about to explode from annoyance from Rein.
They were having a small argument on who's the one that was wrong. And actually they both were wrong they should've payed attention to where they go than joked with each other and laughing if they didn't they would've notice that they already passed Ophelia room.
They continue to argue before Rein bumped to someone that makes her fall. Sein were about to help her get up but then his brother instinct kick in so he just laugh "Bro are you an idiot? Lmao. Bro done put herself in generational aura debt." He hold his stomach while rolling on the floor laughing.
Rein stand up on her own. Her face were burning with embarrassment "It's not even that funny bruh. Like, shut up. And I DID not put myself on aura debt."
"Uhm... Are you two okay?" The person that Rein bumped to finally spoke up. Their tone were soft and gentle.
Rein and Sein looked up to see who it is. From his attire they assume he was a guard. The guy look at them confused.
"Are you Lady Amelia personal bodyguard? It's nice to meet you two i don't expect that it will be kid but i guess it's talent that matter not age." He smile.
"I'm the only one that was actually talented here. This one over here is just a copy of me." Sein pointed at Rein.
It took Rein a few sec to realized that Sein meant her. "I'm not a copy of you! Why would i copy you anyway?!"
And there are they arguing again. The guard were dumbfounded by how they act. He's been used to people at this mansion being cold and distant so it's quite new for him to see someone at this place to smile other than him.
"Ehem. Anyway it's late. I think you two should go back to your room. Here let me take you to your roo-" He was interrupt by Rein that want to say something.
"That's not important. Say do you think you're a good fighter?" She ask.
"Well i'm not that good but i guess so? I was still a newbie after all. Why? Do you need help with something?"
Rein looked at Sein using their telepathy they talked to each other 'What do you think? Wanna go back there to see what it was? This person should know the way in here so we could get some benefit with taking him with us.'
'Nah. Let's just go to our room and let Aragon guard figure it on their own. And aren't our main goal is to find Ophelia room.' Sein rolled his eyes at Rein sudden curiosity. He was used to Rein changing mood.
'Bro come on. just say if you're afraid like no need to hide it fr.' Rein crossed her arm at Sein lack of curiosity.
'Tsk. Fine let's go. But if something happen then it's your fault got it?' Sein knew that there's no used to argue if Rein were like this.
Rein smirked at her little victory "Ehem. Yes there is something we need help with something. It's in the garden." As usual Rein don't wait for their answer and already went ahead.
Sein shake his head and look at the guard who was a little weird out by Rein "Better get used to it bro." He said before following Rein. The guard was confused but decided to help them.
'This is the first time someone asked to help them... I wonder what do they need help with.' He smiled at himself that someone were asking him for help. Rein and Sein called out the guard that was been standing.
"Oi! Are ya gonna help us or nah?" Rein yelled so that the guard could hear her.
The guard snapped out of it. He quickly catch up with them. This was the first time someone need his help so he couldn't help but feeling a little proud about himself.
They shared some story and laugh along the way to the garden, it took some time but they finally arrived.
"I like you! You're not boring like the other." Rein put her hands on her hips as she say that with a smile.
"I couldn't agree less. The way you talk made we feel like we had known you for like 3000 year fr. I trust you so much that i would actually gave you the password of my acc."
Though not understanding what they say the guard still smile at it "Thanks... This is the first time someone ever say that to me..." He looked away. There's a tint of blush spreading on his face.
"Really? I'm surprised. Anyway can you help us and show around the garden?" Sein was a little impatient despite not wanting to be here earlier.
"Of course. Follow me."
They both follow the guard. They were confused on why they getting away from the garden and end up on a tunnel "... Remember when i say that i was still a newbie? Yeah... I only come here month ago..." He scratched the back of his feeling Rein and Sein gaze on him.
"Are you fr? So you literally lead us from being lost to being lost. But harder." Rein feel like weeping but there's no tears.
"This is why i hate people with face like you. You can't even get mad because you simply can't!" Sein were filled with annoyance and anger but couldn't let it out on the guard.
"I-i'm sorry. I messed up again didn't i? Don't worry i'll try my best to get us out of here ultimately you two. It's my job as an adult to take care a kid though you two probably more talented than me..." He chuckle nervously.
"Let's just go. I don't want to stay here any longer."
"I'll be the one that'll be the leading this time because first we got lost by you, Rein. You're sense of direction is just terrible as this guy." Sein pushed them both back. It's clear that he doesn't trust them anymore 'What did i went wrong on training her???'
They were walking forward having a little conversation between them when out of nowhere they were surrounded on both side by some masked man.
"I've been waiting." One of them said.
The guard put Rein and Sein behind him to protect them when needed "Who are you and what did you want?!" His voice were wavering. He was afraid but didn't want to backed down because he's more afraid that Rein and Sein get hurt.
