Demiliore Manor, Saran City, Netheria
Keith suddenly appeared inside his room inside the Manor, having stayed in Aerzar for seven months this ti, all of which were spent with Rouxi, Feifei, and Roulan.
By now, the three of them were very suspicious about why he was pushing them to learn and train so much, and Feifei could tell that he was hiding sothing big.
She has questioned him about it, and he neither acknowledged nor denied her suspicions. Knowing her, she was already sure of it, and lately, he had found her looking a little lost and disturbed.
It was about ti that he told them the truth.
Keith walked out of the room and headed towards the study, where he sensed Rebecca and Qingyue's presence.
The two of them were sitting across from each other, and he curiously smiled when he saw Qingyue holding a book on dicine that belonged to Rebecca.
"Found a new interest?" He asked as he planted a kiss on her head, and she sweetly smiled at him.
"Yes. I have already finished all the books on Alchemy that you gave ."
"Good." He nodded and then pulled the chair and sat down with her. "You are naturally Talented in Alchemy, and dicine too. The Elent of Poison is also called the Elent of Life and Death, and it's quite a special Elent. Once you have learned these books, I will teach you special healing thods that suit you and your Poison Elent."
She grinned at his words and teasingly looked at her blonde sister, who did not appear bothered at all. Instead, she grinned back at her, turning her eyes to their True Shade.
"Hmph!" Qingyue was obviously aggrieved when she saw those eyes and imdiately looked at him, pouting a little.
"You know, you will be my daughter if you want these eyes." He teased her and watched her brows furrow at his words.
"I am fine with that." She told him, and he chuckled at her words. "Has Rouxi reached the Peak of Martial Warrior Realm?"
It was clearly an attempt to change the subject, and it made Rebecca grin so more.
"She has." He nodded and then leaned in to plant a kiss on her cheek. "Co with to Aerzar tonight." He whispered.
Qingyue imdiately nodded her head, and her heart started accelerating in anticipation.
She knew exactly what he ant by these words.
He was going to accept her as his daughter tonight.
It was sothing she had been looking forward to for a while now, but since he had been busy with Rouxi, Feifei, and Roulan, she had not raised the matter with him.
Rebecca smiled at Keith when their eyes t, and then she returned her focus to the Magical Beast Encyclopedia, flipping the pages after just glancing at them.
There were a pile of books on the table, so on Alchemy, so on Runes, so on Formations, and so on Forging.
She had borrowed these books from Qingyue, Alia, Nana, and Zoey. And she was going to return it to them in a few hours.
Seeing Keith smiling and watching Rebecca morise those books, Qingyue could not help but roll her eyes.
"She's a living Cheat!"
"A.." The Blonde did not miss the opportunity to pull her sister's leg even more, and Keith wisely left the two girls to bicker with each other, not in the mood to get involved in their catfight.
As he walked down the familiar hallways, he smiled and reminisced about his childhood.
He could clearly rember the monts he ran through these hallways with Milo, making things hard for Viola, who was always concerned about his safety.
Keith smiled when he recalled the day he had ordered Milo to attack Viola, and the Mountain Lion lunged at her, scaring the life out of her.
He had laughed when he watched Milo growl at his maid who was pinned under him, and then the big cat happily started licking her face, much to her shock.
It was the first and only ti in his life that Viola had complained about his actions to Venessa and his Grandparents.
Though Venessa had not reprimanded him, she did ask him to behave himself, and he never played such a prank on his Maid again.
Lost in his thoughts, Keith arrived in the Kitchen, and he found Fiona and Viola busy preparing dinner with the rest of the maids helping them out.
"Master." The maid who noticed him first imdiately bowed to him, and when Fiona looked his way, her eyes widened in surprise and she happily ca over to bow to him.
"What are you making?" He asked as he walked past her, and she obediently followed him, informing him about the dishes that they had decided to prepare tonight.
There were not many dishes, and it was because most of the family was not present in the city.
Kiara, Ingrid, Ingvild, and Alana were with the Angelini Family in Eden.
Amira and Reina were in their ho city, visiting their parents.
Venessa, Minami, Kashish, Ginara, and Sibyl were in Essra, the Future City.
Celine and Ayesha were with his Grandparents, visiting the Demiliore Branch Family in Damistris City, whom Venessa had chosen as the next heads of the Demiliore Family.
Avriel, accompanied by Iseul and Victor, was in France right now. She was dealing with so issues related to the Royal Family and the Esper Association, and Keith had sent his Iris and the Muscle-Head to act as her Guardians.
Yingying was inside Aerzar with his three wives, so, only Alia, Rebecca, Qingyue, Nana, Zoey, Helena, and Marianne were going to be present at the dinner table.
"Cook sothing good for ." He said to Viola and smiled when a bright smile blood on her face.
It had been a while since he had last asked her to make sothing for him, and she was truly happy right now.
"Yes, Master." She said and went straight inside the pantry, bringing out a rack of lamb to prepare it for him.
Viola knew what he liked, so she was very comfortable with his requests whenever he left it to her to make sothing nice for him.
Leaving the two maids to prepare their als, he walked out of the kitchen when he sensed soone entering the Manor.
"Ask Sebastian to see in the second Study." He ordered one of the maids, and she imdiately bowed to him before hurriedly going out to inform the Head Butler of the Family that their Master had asked for him.
Minutes later, Sebastian knocked on the door and then excused himself as he entered the study.
"Master Keith." The tall young man politely greeted him with a bow and took his seat when he received a nod in acknowledgent.
"How's era?" Keith smiled at the man and asked, and he visibly saw a trace of happiness flash in Sebastian's eyes.
"She's fine, Master. Thank you."
"Have you decided?"
"There's never been anything to decide Master. I want to serve you and the Demiliore Family, no matter which world we are in." He straightforwardly said.
"Even if you have to leave behind your girlfriend and child?" Keith playfully asked and watched the man beco dull at his words.
Sebastian did not hide the reluctance on his face and lowered his head.
"If it is your order, the Servant will comply." He seriously said, and Keith, who knew him very well, knew that the young man was serious with his words.
However, the warmth of the person you love, and the warmth of your flesh and blood could change any man. And even if Sebastian would never dare to hold any resentnt against him, his eyes would lose their brilliance.
"Do you think I would be so cruel to you, Seb?" He asked, and Sebastian smiled and imdiately shook his head.
"No, Master. Not unless my family does sothing unforgivable."
"Correct. So, make sure you don't allow a woman to co in the way of your duty." He seriously said, and Butler nodded his head in a promise.
"Bring era over for dinner tonight. You will eat with us. Also, prepare yourself. Once your child is born, you will be leaving with to train for a while.
"Yes, Master." Sebastian nodded his head and then stood up and bowed to him, taking his leave from the room.
Keith knew that Caesar and May had a talk with Sebastian, and they had helped their child make up his mind.
An hour later, he arrived in the living room where Rebecca and Qingyue were chatting with little Helena.
"Did you talk to Julian and Naomi?" He asked his blonde wife, who nodded her head with a smile and then stood up.
"They have agreed to beco my Apostles. Also, I want to bring my parents with as well." She clearly said, and he smiled at her before flicking her nose with his finger.
It was sothing he had already known about. Rebecca deeply cared for her family, and there was no way that she would leave her parents behind.
It did not matter to her that they were not really her parents. They had raised her with love and care, and she was not going to be an ungrateful child.
"I have no objections, but have you discussed anything with them? And do they even want to co with us?"
"Not yet, but I will convince them. They can never refuse ." She proudly said.
"Right." He shook his head but did not doubt her words. "Inform Julian and Naomi that their training starts next week."
"Have you decided on the date yet?" Qingyue suddenly asked, and Helena too expectantly looked at him.
"December 31st, 2047."
"Why do we need to wait for 15 months?" She frowned, knowing well that these 15 Months ant over a dozen years inside Aerzar.
"I need to grow mine, Avriel, and Rebecca's strength before we leave. And there's still a lot that you all need to learn." He seriously said.
"Good." Rebecca was imnsely pleased when she heard that they would have so much ti on their hands to practice with the Dual Cultivation thod that he had taught her and Rouxi.
She wanted to, at least, reach the Martial Tyrant Realm before leaving the world.
Unbeknownst to her, it was also the Goal Keith had set for her and himself.
