"This is our ho!"
Hun stopped in front of a beautiful mansion that stood tall before them. The Mansion covered a vast area.
Looking at the beautiful mansion, it was easy to assu that it was capable of accomodating hundreds of people like him. It was surprising to know that only seven people lived there.
"This is your ho? Where you and your family live?" Jenilia asked.
"That's right. I, my family, and twenty of our servants. And from today, you'll be living here as well," Hun answered as he brushed his finger against his snow-white hair that ca to his shoulders.
"Please co inside. By the way, you must stay silent. Let talk to my father. And please don't do anything stupid even if he is a bit harsh when talking about you," he added, smiling wryly. He pushed his door open and stepped inside.
Hun entered the house, followed by Lucifer and the others.
The mansion was just as big from inside as it looked from outside. The main hall was huge. There looked to be a few hallways that had entrances on other ends of the hall.
A set of spiraling stairs was going to the first floor from the middle of the hall. The entire floor had a beautiful white marble flooring which was the sa as the stairs. The walls were also snow-white on the inside, similar to the outside.
Everything inside looked white, probably because Hun's family was a family of Snow Wolves that liked snow, and white reminded them of that?
Lucifer didn't know what it was, but the place was also much colder from the inside. The temperature seed to be in the negatives here. Jenilia had already started rubbing her shoulders as she was dressed in light clothes that weren't made for winter. She was beginning to feel cold.
It was the sa case for Salazar, who was also feeling cold, but he controlled himself. Lucifer was the only person who wasn't cold.
"Are you feeling cold?" Lucifer asked, noticing the condition of Jenilia and Salazar.
Jenilia nodded her head.
Hun also noticed her condition after Lucifer's question.
"Ah, I forgot. There are so beasts that can't bear the cold. Your friend must be one of those. I'll arrange for so warm clothes for her."
"That would be great. Thank you."
"Young Master Hun, welco back."
A young maid ca out of a room to notice Hun.
"Ah, yeah. Where is father? Also, why does this place look so empty?"
"He should be in his study room. As for Madam and the others, they went out for a bit. So only your father and we are here," the maid answered. She kept glancing at the people that were with Hun. "Young Master, they...?"
"Yeah, they will be our guests for a little while. I'm going to take them to introduce them to my father. But before that, can you arrange so warm clothes for the lady? She isn't accustod to the cold."
The maid was surprised to know that these people were staying here since they were High Beasts, according to her, and High Beasts of different species rarely got along.
That was especially the case for Hun, who never liked being close to another High Beast. It was rare to find him talking about letting others stay here.
"Young lady, would you co with ? I'll take you to the clothes. You can see what fits you?" The maid asked Jenilia.
Jenilia glanced towards Lucifer.
Lucifer nodded his head.
"Can you arrange warm clothes for Salazar too? He doesn't fit with cold either. Only I can be fine here without warm clothes," he told the maid.
"Do as he said," Hun nodded, smiling.
"Alright. You can co too." The maid left, being followed by Salazar and Jenilia.
"Shall we et your father?" Lucifer asked Hun.
"Ah, right. By the way, it looks like you are the leader of this small group of yours? The other two seem to listen to you? Even though you look younger."
"I suppose you can say that. It's partly because I'm slightly stronger than them and more importantly because we are friends, so they don't mind listening to ," Lucifer replied.
"Friends, huh. I wonder what it must feel like to be friends with another High Beast. That looks impossible for ."
Lucifer smiled. He placed his hand on the shoulder of Hun.
"Hey, you're helping us here. It doesn't matter if you succeed or not. You're already a friend to us. So you can't say that anymore. Even if your father doesn't let us stay here, we'll happily leave. Just the thought that you decided to help us is enough to make you our friend."
"So w-we are friends?" Hun asked, his lips opening slightly.
It was the first ti soone had called him a friend. He was a High Beast, so he couldn't be friends with a lower beast.
However, he spent ti with ladies, living a lecherous life just because he wanted close company, but they couldn't be his friends since he knew they were with him because of his position.
The only friendship that could be real was sothing between the equals for him, and that was sothing he never received. All the High Beasts had enmity between each other. Moreover, he couldn't bear the presence of other High Beasts, so he was always alone, without friends.
It was the first ti he had soone call him a friend... Soone who was an equal! Soone who could understand what it feels like to be at the top! Soone who wouldn't be with him for his position.
Lucifer's position in his heart had risen even more. Firstly, he sided with him before other High Beasts, and now he called him a friend. Soon, a bright smile ford on Hun's face.
"That's right. We are friends now. I won't say that again." He nodded. "Now co, let introduce you to my father."
He walked to the stairs, elated. Lucifer followed behind him.
"Oh, that reminds . You are also a Snow Beast? You don't feel cold, unlike the others. You must be soone related to Ice as well, right? Which species is yours?" Hun asked. "My father will ask that too. It's better if I know when telling him."
Lucifer took a deep breath as this guy asked the sa question again. It looked like there was no avoiding it this ti. He really needs to make sothing up
He tried to think of mythical beasts in their lore that he could have heard before.. He couldn't rember about any such beast in the academy, but he rembered one na which was told to him by his mother in a story.
