Chapter 15: Duke's Main House

Viktor's POV :

-Just how am I supposed to take care of this empty-head fly...

He went back to his room and went inside his blanket again.

"If you made another damn problem. I swear I will kick you out this time."

"Sorry, I won't do that again. Good night -_-. "

Rae went inside his bed in his fairy form like a small dog digging into his small bed.

-Please god, just one hour. I want to sleep for just an hour.

And he went to sleep.

But, 45 minutes later...

"Yaawnnn!!! Hey, wake up it's time to ring the bell."

A guard on the tower woke up to ring the bell because it was already morning to him.

"Oi, Trevor, wake up!!! "

"Hahh!! What ?"

Another guard woke up from his sleep for the noisy man.

"It's morning. Go and ring the bell."

"Yes, going. "

He climbed the stairs and hold the rope firmly.

"DONG!!!! DONG!!! DONG!!! DONG!!! DONG!!! "

"AAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!"

The guard heard a scream from afar.

"Hm ? Who's scream was that?"

Back to Viktor's room.

-I want to die...

"Hey!! Viktor!! Why did you scream like that ha?? I nearly pooped myself out!! "

Rae was hanging upside down on the lamp beside his bed because his wings automatically flapped by hearing that scream and flew away.

Viktor looked at him and Rae saw he was a dead man.

"I just wanted to sleep for an hour. It's only 4:30. "

"Yes, it's damn morning. "

"Tsk!! Morning my ass."

-This damn bug. I really need to sell him in the slave market! -_-."

Viktor opened the window beside his bed and saw the horizon was lighting up but the sun wasn't up yet. He fixed his bed and changed his clothes for work and went outside with a pitchfork on his shoulder.

"Let's finish my work early today. I am going to visit the city at 7 . "

Rae was left behind as if he don't exist.

"That damn human just left me without saying anything."

In the stable.

'This horse is called Lion. I have no idea why the duke named his horse Lion. But he is a stubborn one.

Why? Because he doesn't like cold food. '

Viktor was preparing his food with fire magic with a murderous gaze at the horse.

"Neigh!!"

"If you kick this bucket away, I swear there's no breakfast for you today."

"Neigh!!!!"

"Am I a horse -_-? Why am I talking to a horse? Have I gone crazy?"

"I guess I will take a break and do something else first. What about walking around the duke's main house? "

"Hey, human. If you're talking about entering the duke's main house, you should visit the secret room in the basement. There's something odd down there that I can't touch."

Viktor looked up and saw Rae sitting close to the ceiling on a bar in his human form.

"Something odd? "

"Yes, I can show you the way but I need mana from you to take you in there."

"There are 3 basements in the duke's house. Which one are you talking about?"

"Oh! You knew already about this. It's in the second one. There's a secret room behind the wall. I was able to get in, but there's something inside the box that I couldn't touch."

-I knew about the house containing 3 basements, but I have no idea about the secret room's existence. The story is getting more difficult. There are so many things that I don't know.

"Okay then. How can you take me there? It's always filled with guards and maids inside the house."

"Did you forget? I am a formal guardian. Even if I don't have any power within me, I am still a guardian who ruled the moons and stars. Making something invisible is my left hand's play. "

"Then let's go? I am quite curious about what's inside the box you mentioned ."

"Hmmm . Okay. I just need a small amount of mana from you ."

He came down flying and tapped his finger on Viktor's forehead.

"Let's go then"

Rae became a small fairy again and took Viktor into the main house in a second.

-So this is the power of a guardian. They don't need to walk to go somewhere. They just teleport in a second like changing the television channel.

He looked around and saw it was decorated with gold and gems everywhere. Luxurious vases, pots, and even a golden fountain in the middle of the house. He was stunned to see the wealth of the duke.

"The humans love to decorate themselves with gold. This is the only thing I like about humans. "

"Yes because you're crazy for gold coins."

Viktor answered quickly after he finished his sentence.

"Hehe!"

"Let's go then, the second basement ."

"Oh, yes. Since we are here. Why don't we take a walk around the house? "

"Okay then. Let's go and check the gardens and library. Also the treasure room."

"You know about the treasure room too????"

Rae looked at him with his puppy eyes.

Yes , let's go now. I am getting hungry."

Rae hold his hair and both of them vanished in a millisecond.

I know this house very well. Every corner, every secret room every box lined up in the kitchen. This is the house I drew with my own hands. And yet, another mysterious room appeared.

I need to see what kind of box is inside the room. It can be something so valuable, or something so dangerous.

Viktor walked into the hallway full of decorated walls and ceilings. He looked outside the window and saw the sun was coming up. The first ray of the sun fell on his face and his eyes reflected the light like it was a silver coin.

-At least the sun is the same as always.

He walked inside the basement room with Rae who was following him from behind.
