Science/Magic 52 Calice 2

Today is the seventh day I'm in quarantine, without leaving my house. How to describe it? Stressful! I live with my parents and siblings and staying in a closed s.p.a.ce with other people for seven days is tiring. G.o.d, even sleeping is becoming a ch.o.r.e.

I'm a relatively sociable person, so I'm used to visiting my friends, playing soccer, going to the mall, etc. However, I can't even go jogging in the mornings now!

I hope this ends soon. Good luck to you is you are in this situation too...

...

"Your young master?" Bloed furrowed his brows. Had trouble come to them so quickly?

Before he could reply, Regina stepped forward.

"Who do your young master think he is? Does he think he can simply ask my master to go to see him and my master has to obey?"

The elegant middle-aged man frowned. He examined Regina briefly before putting on an expression of wariness.

According to his senses, this girl was a C-Rank pract.i.tioner, however, he felt as though she was unfathomable.

"Can I ask for your name, young lady?" The middle-aged man asked.

Regina snorted. "Go away, master doesn't have time to see you now."

The frown in the middle-aged man's face deepened. For an instant, he did not know if to advance or to retreat.

Fortunately, Bloed rescued him.

"Stop it, Regina. We will go."

"Master?"

"We are new here. It's a good idea to talk with a local."

Regina nodded and retreated behind Bloed. Bloed then smiled to the middle-aged man. "Please guide us."

The middle-aged man looked deeply to Bloed before nodding.

Bloed and the others were guided to a carriage a few meters away. Inside the carriage, a young man and a young lady were seated. Both of them had beautiful features and carried a n.o.ble-like aura.

But when Bloed observed them carefully, he realized something else.

Both of them shared similar features.

Blond hair, blue eyes, and pale skin.

The young man seemed a bit more mature than the young girl, around 18 years old. As for the young girl, Bloed put her age around 15 or 16.

'Siblings?" Bloed deduced their relationship in his head. It seemed the pair were the young master and young miss of some n.o.ble house.

But after Bloed finished observing the siblings, he noticed something amiss.

Suddenly, he realized someone was standing behind the girl.

It was a servant-like young woman with black hair and tanned skin. She had the eyes closed and her back was resting against the back of the carriage.

When the woman felt Bloed's gaze, she opened his eyes and looked at him in surprise.

'How came…!!!' Bloed was taken aback. Even with his special eyes and the increased perception his hair granted him, he needed more than ten seconds to realize that the woman was here. Bloed was sure that without his eyes, he would have been unable to notice anything amiss.

Even now, after he confirmed her existence, he had the feeling he could lost her if he looked away for one second.

Of them, only Regina had managed to detect the girl since the start. Liu Ying seemed as she had not realized anything even now.

'How terrifying.' Bloed felt cold sweat in his back. If he would have been alone, and the woman attacked him, he would have been unable to react.

The middle-aged man went to the carriage and whispered something in the young man's ear. The young man put on an expression of surprise and looked at us with interest.

"I apologize if my butler was rude. Nice to meet you, I'm Gerald Arkavol, the current heir of the Arkavol house. This is my sister, Erika."

Erika had her eyes fixed on t.i.to and Leto. But when her brother caller her name, she raised her head to greet them.

However, once she saw Bloed, she froze. One second later, her face turned slightly red.

Regina could not help but frown seeing it.

Bloed nodded as greeting. "My name is Bloed Norman. She is Regina Norman, my partner." He said while signaling Regina. Then, he pointed to Liu Ying. "She is Liu Ying, a friend."

Gerald showed an interested expression. "Bloed? Such a unique name. Same with Liu Ying. Names like hers are very rare in this part of the world."

"Well, we come from far away." Bloed said.

Gerald nodded in understanding. "So it's like this. Is it your first day in Calice?"

"Yes, we arrived just now. We were going to search for an inn when your butler interrupted us."

"Sorry if he offended you." Gerald apologized again. "Bloed, I will go straight to the point. My sister is interested in your magic beasts. Are you selling it?"

Bloed's eyes narrowed. "How unexpected. I didn't think the city lord's son would be interested in my pets."

"Oh? You know about my ident.i.ty?" Gerald was slightly surprised, but Bloed just smiled. "Well, there is only an Arkavol house in Calice."

Gerald chuckled. "You are right. It looks you are well informed about the city. Then, are you interested about selling them?"

This time, Bloed shook his head without hesitation.

"I'm sorry, young master Gerald, but I'm not selling them."

A sharp glint appeared on Gerald's face. He looked deeply at Bloed before chuckling. "Okay, I understand. Sorry for bothering then."

The girl beside Gerald was startled. She looked at her brother and seemed as though she wanted to say something, but a glare of Gerald rendered her silent.

Bloed, on the other hand, just shook his head indifferently. "Don't worry about it. If young master Gerald don't want anything else, we will be leaving. We need to find a place to stay as soon as possible, after all."

"I recommend you to go at the exchange center." Gerald suggested. "You probably will find what you need there."

"Thank you. If I have the opportunity, I'll invite you to something later. My treat."

"I'll waiting for the opportunity."

With a smile, the two young men bid farewell and Bloed left.

When Bloed and his group was finally out of sight, the girl looked at his brother with an expression of anger.

"Brother, what happened!? I wanted that puppy!"

"Silly girl." Gerald shook his head. "How can you not to realize these people are not simple? Did you not realize that none of them seemed respectful of us even after learning of our ident.i.ties?"

"Huh?"

"I suspect the three of them have a significant background. There is no need to offend an unknown power just for a puppy. Moreover, a puppy without mana."

The girl looked at her brother and pouted. "But I wanted that puppy. It was so cute, and weird… I wonder where they got it."

The butler sighed at that moment. "Young master is right. I observed their demeanor carefully, and every one of them carried themselves with confidence and emitted an air of n.o.bility. Moreover, the silver-haired girl called the young man 'master'. If I'm not wrong, their background is not below us, perhaps even higher."

Gerald nodded thoughtfully. He then looked at the young woman behind him and asked.

"Sara, what do you think about them?"

The young woman fell silent. She thought for a moment before giving an answer.

"The young man and the silver-haired girl discovered me."

"Huh?"

This time, the other three were completely surprised.

"Are you sure?" Gerald asked.

"I am. I think the young man only discovered me due to his eyes. But the silver-haired girl… I'm not sure. In fact, the three of them were very talented. All C-Rank, and judging by the killing intent around them, they are rather experienced."

"His eyes, huh. Certainly, I had never seen eyes like his."

Erika nodded. "They were very beautiful. Thinking about it, that young man was very handsome."

"Sigh, Erika, you only think about things like that."

"And? It's not like I'm going to marry him or something. I just think he is handsome."

Gerald shook his head in amus.e.m.e.nt. He then turned towards the butler and put on a serious expression.

"Investigate their background. I want know everything about them as soon as possible. You can start by searching information about the Norman family. Maybe you will find something."

"Yes, young master."
