In the end, Kaius took the vampire out of the cave and brought him home. He couldn't go to James's house for two reasons: the first was because he would recognize the vampire who had stabbed him, and the second was because he really didn't want to see him at all. Because of his stupid girlfriend and her friends, as long as he was nearby, the enchantment he had placed in James's brain would help destroy the other one that was controlling him. So he really didn't have to do anything else; he was just going to focus on channeling and practicing his magic until he could find Etti to bring him home and take care of him. the rest of his life. He took Michelle to his mansion, entering through the back forest, as he didn't want any disgusting surprises. He fixed up the whole place before leaving, so he settled him in the guest room that was located on The ground floor of the mansion was the first time he truly cursed his father for the extravagance of having a mansion instead of a country house like James's parents. As he started to climb the stairs, he noticed his father's extravagant painting of a hero in uniform. He knew it was just a facade, so he didn't care when his magic activated and reduced the horrible and disgusting painting of a man he might not even remember to ashes, the scars on his body that hadn't healed telling him everything—cigarette burns and whip marks on his back.
"Black, do you think you can train the boy? I don't think I have time to do it."
"Ah, sure, how do I do it if I don't have a body? Hmm."
"Well, you can materialize for more than an hour; you've done it. It's either that or I make you the butler. You'll just supervise the people I hire."Black thought about it for a moment and finally agreed, but he explained that he couldn't use him while he was like that. Kaius accepted; he didn't want to depend too much on his friend. Just thinking about how the boy would test Black's patience made him smile. He went straight down to the basement and turned the door into an access point to the liminal space he called his cave. Upon entering, he went directly to the magic laboratory, which had a few magical minerals. There were a couple of frishi and colver, which were purple stones capable of protecting against extreme heat, and there was a bit of silver. So, combining both minerals, he magically created a new mineral capable of protecting a vampire from extreme heat. This would help prevent their body from catching fire upon contact with the sun. He enchanted the silver so that the vampire could walk in the sun without complications, just in case. He created a black silver ring with a beautiful purple mineral in the middle. It was then that Black entered the place. "Hey Kai, it seems our guest has woken up," he said. He took the ring and went upstairs, just as James entered through the door. It wouldn't have been anything if it were just him, but he had to go with his girlfriend and friends. That's when he realized he hadn't closed the door. But honestly, he didn't even want to pay attention to him; he just ignored him and headed down the hallway where...
- Kaius, come here, we need to talk.
he just ignored his friend and quickly headed to the place where the boy was sleeping and didn't let the boys enter the room so much that he closed the door with magic but not a strong spell he just wanted time to change the boy's appearance his brown hair turned reddish and his green eyes were now black The spell on the door was broken, and the nosy ones came in, as he called them when Kaius was putting the ring on Michelle's finger.
- Kaius, what are you doing here? asked his friend James
- In fact, I should ask you the same thing, James. This house belongs to my family; I don't have to explain to you what I'm doing here.
it was when the blonde girl spoke
- You know I can call my dad to kick you out of here, right?
- Yes, I know your daddy is the sheriff, but the mayor knows I'm here and that I restored the house. Otherwise, daddy's little girl.
-but James, I wanted this house, take it out, it's mine!!!
James's girlfriend shouted, tired of this, and pulled her by the hair since Michelle needed to attune to her magic, which required rest, and shouting didn't exactly allow people to rest. The little witch tried to make him let go, but as usual, her magic didn't work on him, and James yelled at her to let go. It was then that the enchantment became more effective, so discreetly, she cast magic again, stripping the control enchantment of its power. She could only watch with satisfaction as the little witch looked confused while she let go of the girl Lilian upon reaching the secondary room.
-you sit down and shut up. First of all, James couldn't give it to you because this house wasn't his family's, it was my family's. And secondly, this house is maintained thanks to me. Now, James, tell me, what the hell made you think you were welcome in this house without an invitation? Did your manners of knocking on the door disappear?
Kaius said with a harsh and serious tone, he was angry because they went to yell at his own house and to make matters worse, they just walked in as they pleased without knocking.
and then the little witch spoke
- tell us what you meant by a more local source, I'll order it for you
She tried to use hypnosis magic again, but the floor turned purple and the magic hurt the girl, throwing her several meters away. Although Kaius knew it wouldn't affect her, he didn't want to risk being discovered. He just watched as the little group approached the generational witch while James stood there, still and motionless.
- what the hell did you do
said the sheriff's daughter, determined
- I'll just call my father to throw you out of here.
Kaius just smiled and approached her, taking her by the chin and snatching the phone from her.
- If you do it, I will reveal that she is a witch and that demons and vampires exist here and that you knew everything. What do you think they will say about you after that, especially about how the little witch uses her magic to harm people, and I have irrefutable proof?
The whole group turned to look at the boy with fear; they didn't know what the tests were, but they couldn't take the risk.
- kaius please tell us what you meant by something more local
said James, trying to calm the situation. Kaius smiled, observing how James' change in behavior affected the girls. This made Kaius understand that the three of them knew about James' brainwashing. As Kaius' spell took shape, the witch's spell faded away and she couldn't re-enter his mind. In the end, Kaius thought about it for a moment and asked himself why he should protect the girl from the truth if he didn't want to give her the answers. But it would be more interesting to see how upset she would get upon learning that her life was a lie. It would be a better revenge.
- Very well, I will tell you, but it will cost you. You will owe me a very big favor. However, I won't give you the answer; I will only tell you to look in the local legends. There is a legend called "the legend of the woman who cheated life and death twice each." There you will find the answers you seek now.
At that moment, a knock was heard at the door. Black explained that Michelle had already woken up and had adapted to his magic. Kaius smiled at that and told Black to manifest just outside with the boy. Black agreed and did so, imitating the appearance of a character from an anime he had seen in one of his lives: a tall man with long dark hair tied in a ponytail, red eyes, wearing a butler's suit and white gloves.
- go ahead, black
said Kaius when the door opened, two men appeared the first was Black and the second was Michelle, both in their butler suits. The girls seemed enchanted with the two butlers, but neither even looked at them as if they were nothing.
- My lord, our new employee has woken up. He wanted to come and see if you needed anything.
said Black, gesturing to Michelle to come closer to Kaius. She did, and he bowed.
- My lord, thank you very much for hiring me. Do not hesitate to give me an order, and I will follow it gladly.
said Michelle, approaching to kiss Kaius's hand while the boy internally screamed like a fangirl, recalling the manhwas he had read in one of his past lives where there were butlers. It was so unreal for him. On the outside, he just blushed epicly while Black laughed, and in his mind, he saw it as revenge for making him hang out with that group of girls. At least in his mind, he could insult them, but there he needed to maintain appearances.
- black, give him that jewel I told you about
said Kaius Black accepted and approached the boy, bestowing upon him a second protection. The ring was a protection against the sun, but this was a necklace made of selenite, a red stone that protects against external magic and the magic of generational witches. He gave it to him.
while James was furious, he didn't know why, but all he wanted was to get that guy away from Kaius and clean his hand. He didn't understand why he was acting like this, but he didn't like that scene, and Kaius felt his friend's emotions overflowing. The brainwashing was fading; it was strange, the atmosphere was becoming tense, and she broke it.
- black you can prepare some pine nut cake and Michelle you can go to the town library and check out a book called Local and Lesser-Known Legends and give it to these girls
Both nodded, Black grateful for not having to deal with those humans and that generational witch, and Michelle grateful for being able to go out in the sun without burning.
- I'm going to watch television while I wait
said Kaius, turning on the plasma TV that was embedded in the wall while the others settled into the armchairs, knowing they were on unfamiliar ground and not wanting to cause any more trouble, while Kaius was searching for the crime shows that fascinated him in one of his lives
