Before Drac could continue, he and everyone at the entrance heard a voice, "IS ANYONE THERE! OPEN THE GATE!" Everyone turned towards the main gate of the castle, thinking who the hell had come.
He and the soldiers all made their way towards the gate, only to find a carriage standing outside bearing the insignia of the Sumor Family. It was a small party, a carriage, and three soldiers on horses.
Someone from Sumor Family, who is not important in the family, instantly understood who had come.
The soldier leading them angrily looked at him, "Why the hell there are no soldiers on the gate? What the hell have you guys been doing in here,"
Unfazed, he looked straight into the eyes of the soldier, "We apologize for the inconvenience.. We welcome warm-heartedly Mistress Kaila and her party,"
The soldier huffed and went inside followed by the carriage. As they got out of earshot, Drac whispered, "We are fucked,"
Greg who was standing beside him asked, "Why?"
"Well, we are supposed to entertain Mistress Mikaila's guest. And they dont have the castle for themselves. Now consider her in the situation, what do you reckon would happen when a stuck-up brat like her meets, people who could snap their fingers to destroy you,"
Greg's face became pale, he understood what he was getting at, "What should we do?"
"The only thing that we could do. Contact Mistress Mikaila, and ask for her opinion,"
As they got to the castle, they saw the soldiers unloading Mistress Kaila's luggage at the entrance. Kaila on the other hand was looking around the castle with a frown, "What kind of dump did father gift me? I dont think that I would be able to live here,"
She then looked at him, "You, come here," he went to her, and bowed. As soon as his head came up, he received a tight slap across his face. The force behind him the slap was not even able to move him, but it did surprise him a little bit, along with everyone present in the room.
He kept staring into her eyes, unfazed. This prompted her to slap him once again, but he didnt move, nor did his eyes. "Oh.. A masochist dog." She said while clapping her hands, "I would love to make you my puppy," She then snapped her fingers at him, and pointed at the trunks, "Pick those up and bring them to the master bedroom. ALONE. That is your punishment for making me wait at the gate,"
He then spoke, "Mistress Mikaila had taken that madame. All of her things are already settled in there,"
"Then put her stuff in another room. This castle is mine. Along with you," she said while pulling his cheeks. "Chop chop,"
He bowed and then went to work. When he got to Mikaila's room, he looked around to see no one. He entered her room and pulled out a 5-inch-long green tablet from his pocket. It basically looked like a smartphone, but instead of having various buttons, this thing could be used to make only a one-way connection. This was given to him by Kaisel, the night that they met.
He sent some of his mana into the tablet, and it started vibrating. Soon, the vibration stopped and he heard a voice from the other side, "Who is this?" the voice belonged to a woman, and she was not someone that he had met.
"My name is Drac, Master Kaisel gave me this.. Thing. To contact him when everything is ready,"
"So?" the woman asked, "Is everything ready?"
"It is. But we have a problem milady. Mistress Mikaila's older sister Kaila had come to the castle. And I think that she might pose a problem,"
The woman from the other side sighed, "Great. That is just great." She said, then asked, "Can you just kill her?"
"I can milady. But Master Kaisel didnt want to gather any attention. Her disappearance might raise some eyebrows,"
"Fuck," the woman said, "Let me confer with Kaisel and get back to you," Before he could say something else, the connection was dropped.
What am I supposed to do till then, he thought.
As he was given the order, he started following him. Luckily, there was a spare room just beside the master bedroom, in which he could quickly start shifting her things. As a druggie, Mikaila didnt have a lot of stuff in her room, just books, some plants, and clothes. While going through her stuff, he eventually came across mana stones, coins that he had never seen before. And it is after some digging, he was able to come across something he was very familiar with.
Isn't this the red crystal, that the woman snorts? He looked in the drawer, where he found it. There were several others, so he took the smallest one that he could find and pocketed it. He wanted to see what this crystal was made of and whether it was similar to the drugs on Earth.
After he was done, he had to make several rounds downstairs in order to bring all the trunks and luggage of Mistress Kaila. While he was at it, he also arranged all of her stuff in the room. By the time he was done, the sun was about to set.
When walking downstairs, he started feeling a chill in the air, similar to the night he met Kaisel. Thinking that he had come to meet him, he started looking around to see whether he could spot his master. Then he quickly realized that previously Kaisel met him in his room. He immediately ran to his room and pushed the door of his room open to find no one inside.
Something is wrong, he thought. The temperature had gone down considerably since he came to his room, he was sure that Kaisel was surely here. But where was he, it was then his eyes widened with surprise. He looked at the corner of his room, the cane was still there.
Fearing the worst, he ran toward the ballroom, to see that no one was there as well. Well, this is strange. Is temperature going down naturally?
As he made his way to the front of the castle, he was greeted by one of the soldiers, "Sire… I was just looking for you," he said.
"What is it?"
"It is Sir Harold. He had come just a few moments ago. Greg asked me to inform you,"
"Oh," He said, "Where is Sir Harold?"
"He is having dinner with Mistress Mikaila," Drac nodded and then made his way towards the dining table.
As he entered the area, he saw that Harold and Kaila were sitting on the opposite side, with Samantha and Tilly standing on the other side of the table. He came to the table and bowed to Kaila, "The master bedroom is ready for your service Mistress,"
Kaila with a smirk said, "Took you long enough dog," she then looked at Harold, "Dear sir, were you talking about this one? Is he the one that might have stolen from my family?"
Harold also bloomed a smirk, "Yes. This is the one. I am here to investigate this.. Dog,"
Drac did not say anything about the accusation, with all the mana stones he had, it wouldn't be farfetched to say that he was richer than the Sumor Family at the moment, "How can I serve mistress,"
It was then that he felt, the tablet in his pocket had started vibrating. He didnt react to it, but Harold noticed it instantly, "What is in your pocket?"
Fuck!, With a cold face, he turned towards the man, "Nothing sir, that you should be concerning yourself with,"
Harold leaned forward, "I didn't like your tone dog. It seems you have forgotten that to whom you are talking to,"
It was then he felt a liquid splashed on his face, he turned towards Kaila. That woman threw her wine glass at him, "Is this the way that you talk to the guest of the Sumor Family? You fucking lowlife peasant,"
Drac looked at her with an expressionless and cold face, but no anger in his eyes. This infuriated her even more. Before she could lash out even more, a change in the air startled him. He turned around and stared at the door of the dining room. Some seconds later, Harold also turned that way, making Kaila confused.
It was then the door of the dining was thrown open, and a group of women walked in. The women were all seven feet or above, and all of them were albino. The woman leading them, her strength was closer to that of Kaisel, but she was around a step behind. That woman had long ears, which were riddled with earrings. She was wearing a white laced blouse with shorts.
The other two women were twins it seems. One of them had a muscular body and had scars all over her abdomen and face, yet she looked beautiful nonetheless. Like her features, this woman was wearing a leather armor of some sort and leather pants. The sister on the other hand was quite the opposite, she had a delicate hourglass-like body, along with a revealing blouse, and what looked like panty made her look like a seductress.
"Who.." Kaila then screamed, "THE FUCK ARE YOU PEOPLE! AND WHAT ARE YOU DOING IN MY HOUSE?"
Harold didnt say anything, it seems that he had also realized the power of the people before him. The woman leading them raised her hand and flicked her fingers, Kaila was launched in the air, and thrown onto a wall, where she got stuck. He saw that she was struggling to say something, but her mouth was shut.
This.. This is telekinesis, if I am not wrong, He had seen and read pop culture movies about this power back on Earth. I didnt sense any mana. Does it mean that telekinesis is something that does not use mana?
The woman in the lead came to a stop before them, "This place would do," she said, "Sara, Tara… Set up the dome. I do not want anyone going in, nor anyone going out,"
"Ah.. I wanted to watch," the delicate one of the sisters spoke.
"Go," the woman said, and the two sisters scurried away.
Harold then stepped forward, "Milady.. I dont understand what is happening here. My.. My name is Harold. And this…." Before he could complete his words, Harold was thrown in the air and made to stick on the wall, just like Kaila.
He heard a scream and saw Samantha screaming and running away. Tilly, her daughter followed closely behind her and they both ran away from the place. Drac looked around and saw no one around, so he bowed to the woman, "It is a pleasure to make acquaintance Mistress. My name is Drac, and I am at your service,"
Kaila and Harold started mumbling something, but their mouth was shut. Ignoring them fully, the woman looked at him closely, "I can see why Kaisel took an interest in you… You, your aura.. It is a very peculiar for someone of your age,"
He heard heavy footsteps from the hallway and soon saw two knights wearing bronze color armor. With their bright golden eyes visible from their helms, Drac started having a bad feeling about the knights. But more so, from the large crates that they were carrying on their back. The crates were moving very aggressively, there was something moving in those crates that desperately wanted to come out…
