"Are all the servants and guards here are vampires?" Fein asked.
"Not really, we have several humans working for us. Just like the Zuo Squad who was with me at that time when we were attacked by the wolves. Zuo Squad is in their training phase because they would become my personal future guards in the future. Now, they had already been converted into vampires personally by my father."
Fein nodded as he understood something. He was quite doubtful why the guards who are pretty weak were accompanying Sofia at that time. It turns out that they are in their probationary period.
"How about Alfred?
Sofia looked downcast. "Alfred is in charge of training them. Although his strength is average, his combat experience is only equal to the strongest servant we have. And Alfred's specialty is logistics. If he only agreed to my father's proposal, his strength would increase tremendously. After all, He's the one who manages everything in the mansion."
Fein decided to shut up after seeing Sofia's downcast look. So he decided to change the topic.
"So how about the other one who loses his arm?"
"He's okay, it was already taken care of by the S-class healer in the capital," Sofia answered softly.
Fein was relieved after learning about the guy's situation. In this World, magical thing like growing a lost limb is no longer a problem. Like Kidd had also recovered his arm.
Fein suddenly heard a gust of wind, a shadow flashed beside them while bowing. "Sir Lucius said that the magical carriage is ready. The two of you can depart."
"Okay we will be right there within a minute," Sofia said on the black silhouette.
The servant nodded still expressionless. And he disappeared in the blink of an eye. But Fein can still follow him in his eyes slightly.
Fein asked in bewilderment. "Who is that? He's strong."
"He is the Fourth strongest in the entire mansion. He is a flame user, also known as Flame King in the Degu Society." Sofia said while sorting all her items in the storage space.
Fein nodded. "So he must be pretty well known?"
He thought at the start that Alfred is the strongest amongst their servants. Due to him being their butler. But it seems that this world doesn't work like that.
*Sighed*
'I have watched too many anime.'
Sofia who finished organizing everything they needed tapped Fein on the shoulder. "Are you ready?"
"I'm more than ready" Fein answered with a smirk etched on his face.
Sofia also smiled, her face was filled with excitement. "Let's go to the Secret Realm!"
The two of them laughed and walked side by side with each other.
...
In the back of the Vladimir Family's Mansion. A behemoth flying beast four-winged griffon with a height of 100 meters was lying in the center. It has a luxurious carriage on its back. And besides, it was a crowd of small people. Lucius was there waiting for Sofia and Fein.
"Zukoa, did you already notify them?" Lucius spoke, his demeanor was entirely different when he was facing his daughter.
"Yes my lord" Zukoa was the same black silhouette that notified Fein and Sofia earlier.
Lucius looked at him with appreciation. He was very satisfied with the efficiency of Zukoa. As one of the elite servants. He valued him very much. Zukoa is a Noble-Blood vampire that also mastered the use of degu and blood energy. He mastered them to the point that he can already fuse the two energy with precision. He was a gifted child that wasn't worse than nobles in the Great Kingdoms
So just like that, minutes passed by while they were waiting.
Three shadows finally appeared. One is Voli who looks like he would doze off at any moment and had a bloated stomach. On top of him was Sofia who have a sunshine smile on her as if enjoying the scenery while she was riding on top of Voli. And lastly, Fein who has an expression as if everyone owes him money.
"Didn't I tell you to not overeat? We still had a journey ahead of us" Fein kept nagging at Voli's glutton nature.
He was worried that his companion would walk on a crook path. After all, he still values Voli's potential which was a big help to him. Seeing Voli playing around like this, he was also helpless. It seems that he needs to discipline Voli a little before he walks into a degenerate path.
Voli has a wronged expression on his face after seeing Fein's constant nagging. He just wants to do it a little, what's wrong with that?
"Let him be, isn't just eating. Our little cutie was probably hungry" Sofia added in while stroking Voli's soft hair.
Fein was speechless at Sofia's claim. Voli is cute??? A black line appeared on his face. Where? How? This greedy fat was still considered cute? Where am I? Who am I? What's happening?
Lucius looked at the three. When he sees Voli, he couldn't still believe that such a proudful Legendary Beast submitted to a person. You have to know that taming a beast was already difficult. And it was still a Thunderstorm Bear known for its ferocity and powerful force.
After seeing Sofia on top of it, he was stunned. How could it have fallen so low!? But after seeing that it was in the juvenile stage, a look of understanding finally appeared on his face. If it was tamed while it was still young, that's a different matter then.
Lucius couldn't help marvel at Fein's luck. "You are finally here. You have to look at Sofia for me."
He patted Fein's shoulder like how a proper father-in-law would act. Fein stared blankly at Lucius who was behaving like this. A question mark appeared on his face.
Sofia chuckled after seeing Fein's confused look.
"Even if you don't remind me, I would surely take care of her." Fein didn't want to think too much anymore.
He has already experienced too many ups and downs today.
"Well, let's go." Fein smiled and walks toward the Four-Winged Griffon.
"Take care young miss," The guards said their farewells one by one.
Sofia walked toward her father and hugged him. After that, she followed Fein, then wave at them before closing the door of the carriage.
