Chapter 13: Chapter 13-Other Matters

I ate the food that Mom brought voraciously. I was already hungry because of the training I had been doing since morning.

"Teo, you train so hard, but is that okay with your body?" Mom asked.

"When we were in the village, I trained my body, and I'm sure mom's seen it before… I've awakened my bloodline ability. Will mom hate me for that? " I stopped eating and looked at her.

Mom was silent. She had a complicated expression on her face. Information about how the Alfons family cultivated their bloodline abilities was not a secret. The way is to generate killing intent. There are several ways to generate killing intent. But the easiest way is to kill humans, and that's the way the Alfons family chooses to educate their families.

"I-I believe in you, Teo, even though I don't know what happened. I'm sure if it was Teo, you didn't do anything wrong. " Mom looked at me with a serious expression.

"Thank you, Mom," I said, smiling.

When I was about to eat the sandwich in my hand, suddenly a maid came toward us.

"Madam and young master, I'm sorry to interrupt your time. The Duke had returned from finishing his work. He told me to call the young master into his office now. " That maid bowed to me.

Mom and I looked at each other. Mom showed concern on her face. I nodded, telling Maid to wait for me for a while while I talked to my mother.

"Teo, is this going to be okay? Duke, he's a bad person," Mom said as she took my hand in hers.

"I'm going to see him, Mom. You need not worry. If he wanted to harm us, he would have done it a long time ago. He must have called me for some reason. "

"Okay, I want you to be careful when you meet him,"

"Um,"

I nodded after that and told that maid to lead the way. I arrived at Duke's office door and knocked on the door.

"Duke, it's me, Teo,"

"Come in,"

I heard the duke's voice from behind the door. I opened the door and went inside. That room had a papery smell. The Duke was sitting at his desk. There was also a sofa and a table for guests or when the duke wanted to rest. There is a bookshelf in the right corner of the room, as well as a glass cabinet to store antique barracks. In the left corner of the room, there is another glass cabinet, but this one contains documents.

Behind the Duke, there was Fredo the butler, standing still. The Duke got up from the chair and had the butler prepare tea for the two of us. He then sat on the sofa. I followed him to sit opposite him.

"How was your first day here? Did you like it? " Wilfred smirked.

"Nothing special," I answered expressionlessly.

"Is that so? Well, after all, there is nothing extraordinary here. Because the valuables were all in the treasure room, "Wilfred shrugged.

"Why did you suddenly call me here?" I asked with a gloomy expression towards him.

The butler came back with tea and prepared it on the table. Wilfred took the teacup and smelled the aroma before sipping it leisurely. After that, he put it back.

"Isn't it rude to call me that?" Wilfred narrowed his eyes at me.

"Do you want me to call you, father? I don't think Duke needed a call like that. "

"Hahaha, you're right. That call is useless in front of me," Wilfred laughed as if he had just heard something funny.

"Then what is it?"

"You can't wait, huh? I'll explain right now. Since you've just returned to my family, you need a great image to make other noble families not dare to look down on you. Although they don't know about your whereabouts yet, I know it won't be long before they get information about the return of the long-lost Alfons family's youngest son. So to create a strong image with your name, I have an idea to give you something, " Wilfred smiled strangely as he said that.

'Give me something? What does that mean? ' I was confused as to what the Duke meant.

"Fredo, bring that girl into this room,"

"I understand, Your Grace,"

The butler came out of the office. Not long after that, the butler came back. He brought a girl my age with him. When I saw the girl, I immediately stood up from the sofa and stepped back, not believing what I was seeing. My back is sweating cold. I remember this girl very well.

The girl only wore a cloth to cover her body, some of her limbs were covered in bandages. Her platinum blonde hair fell to her waist, her eyes a mix of turquoise and living coral. Her face was dirty, but it could be seen at a glance that she would become a beautiful girl in the future. When our eyes met, she let out a strange grin, but quickly returned to her flat expression.

'Lilia!! That's right, how can I forget this girl? She is also a big problem for me to deal with,'

Lilia is the crazy girl who tried to kill me and is also the slave the Duke gave me. I don't know why she wanted to kill me so badly, but I still remember how terrible she was.

She once tortured me with her red thread ability. The thread came from the blood in her body. She also had the ability to squeeze the victim's heart until it exploded. I held my chest, making sure my heart was still in my chest. Because I've also felt when my heart was held by her.

Even though the slave seal was already embedded in her body, she was able to break the seal. Since the slave seal is a blood seal, the slave master's blood will be connected to the slave's blood. To Lilia, it was just child's play. She could break the slave's seal easily with her blood.

I ran away from her, It's because I'm not strong enough against her yet. She chased me into the monster territory, and we both fell off the cliff while fighting. I don't know what happened to her after that because when I woke up, I was already in the cave. It was also my first meeting with Master. Master who saved me after I fell off that cliff. After that time, I never met Lilia again. I don't know if she survived or not when she fell down the cliff.

'Foolish duke, you brought a monster into your mansion, and you didn't even notice it,' I gritted my teeth in anger.

"Why are you suddenly standing up? I prepared her just for you. Isn't that great? You have slaves now. " The Duke smiled as he took a sip of his tea.

"Duke, what do you mean by this? The kingdom does not allow slavery. I don't want to accept this slave," I growl at her.

"Hahaha, indeed this kingdom doesn't allow slavery. But it doesn't matter if it's our family, you might not know this. But my first wife was a slave, she wasn't from the nobles. None of the nobles want to marry into our family, and almost all of the wives of the Alfons family head are commoners or slaves. But the situation is different with your mother because the Brande family has a lot of debt. The only daughter they have is married to me to pay off those debts. Isn't that the same as selling their child? No, I think it's almost similar to the slave trade, "Wilfred laughed mockingly at my mother's family.

My face heated with anger. I took out my katana and attacked him. Wilfred just smiled and disappeared from my sight. He suddenly appeared beside me and caught my katana. Just as he was about to punch me in the stomach, I let go of my katana and dodged it.

Our eyes met each other. I looked at him with hostility. The katana that was in Wilfred's hand disappeared and returned to mine. When Wilfred saw the katana disappear, frowned, and glared at me intently.

"You must obey my orders and accept the slave if you don't want something bad to happen."

I gritted my teeth, before calming myself down. I know it's useless if I refuse, he will definitely continue to threaten me and make it worse. Taking a deep breath, I exhaled. The orange katana in my hand disappeared, and I looked straight at the duke.

"Fine, but I have a condition,"

"You have the conditions to accept the slave? Hahaha, ridiculous! Don't you think you're being too presumptuous? " Wilfred's face looked angry.

"I want my mother to return to her family. I didn't want her to be in this mansion, " I ignored him, who was looking angry.

"Huh, you are my only son who dares to go against me. Okay, I will agree, but not only will that girl become your slave, I will also give you a difficult task that you must complete. How? Wilfred snorted.

"Give me the task, I don't care how difficult it is,"

"If that's what you want, I hope you won't regret it later, brat. Fredo, show him the documents in the black drawer. Let him read it. " Wilfred sat back down on the sofa and crossed his arms in annoyance.
