"You must really trust your Lady Seraphina, don't you?
Call her then.
I would like to see if she comes and saves her 'most treasured subordinate',
Or just sacrifices him like a no longer useful chess pawn."
Vaan spoke with a wide smile on his face.
"Y-Y-You would allow me to call Lady Seraphina...?"
Aldric questioned.
"Of course, I am a fair man, why would I not give you an equal chance to defend yourself?
Use everything in your arsenal.
However,
Just keep this in mind,
If you actually do call her,
Then be damn sure that that bitch can save you from the Vesta Family, because if she fails, then I'll fill that head of yours with countless bull- Ah fuck, I can't say that now, can I?"
Vaan temporarily forgot that there were no guns in this world.
"...?"
Aldric couldn't understand what he was talking about, but then,
"Ugghh!!"
Vaan pulled his hair again, and then,
"If she cannot save you, then I'll cut your head off."
*Gulp*
Aldric gulped in fear.
"So? What would you do, Aldric?
Would you like to call your benevolent master and go against the Vesta Family together with her, or would you like to 'cooperate' with me?"
Vaan spoke as he moved away and dusted away his hands with a smile on his face.
Aldric looked into Vaan's golden eyes and his body trembled.
If it was before, he would have selected the first option without even thinking, in front of Lady Seraphina, Vaan acted like a loyal dog, if she said something, he would simply wag his tail and do it.
However... for some reason... Aldric felt like the current Vaan...
He wasn't sure if things would go as he imagined. The current Vaan was too scary for him to make decisions based on his past actions.
Aldric also didn't fail to notice how Vaan was mentioning Vesta Family again and again.
It was as if he was putting the Vesta family against his Lady Seraphina and not himself. Honestly, it wasn't even a fair match, his Lady might be impressive and a lot smarter than others, however, let alone her, even her entire family didn't deserve to be mentioned in the same sentence as the Vesta Family.
The only power his Lady held over the Vesta Family was that the son of Lady Astra was crazy for her...
But now...
Even that seemed like...
Aldric stopped thinking as he glanced at Vaan's horrifying expression again. Sitting on the sofa, with his legs wide open and a big smile on his face. Right now, Vaan didn't even have a trace of 'nobility' the descendant of the Vesta Family should have.
Adric felt like he looked more like a thug.
ραΠdαsΝοvel.cοm Even he didn't know how damn right he was.
"I am not a patient man, Aldric.
Are you going against Vesta Family and calling that bitch?
Or does the thing inside your head actually works?
Answer now."
"I-I wish to serve Young Master V-Vaan."
Aldric answered.
"Oh?" Vaan raised his eyebrow.
Aldric didn't say anything.
"Hahaha~ That's a smart decision.
I guess you will live on for a little longer."
Vaan laughed out loud.
"Alright then, stand up."
Vaan ordered.
Although injured, Aldric didn't dare to offend Vaan any further and quickly stood up.
"Wipe the blood from your face, you bastard.
Your already shit-like face looks even shittier because of that."
Vaan cursed.
"..."
Aldric turned silent.
He then took out a handkerchief and wiped his face.
It did sting since there were quite a few bruises and cuts on his face, however, he didn't say anything. Vaan was way too intimidating for him to complain about something like this.
"It is at least bearable now," Vaan spoke as he picked his ear.
"..."
Aldric simply bowed in a subservient manner.
"Alright then, I have a few questions,
There shouldn't be any need to say this, but I will say it just in case,
Answer honestly."
Vaan spoke as he glanced at Aldric with a chilly look on his face.
Aldric's body jolted in fear.
"A-As you c-command, Young Master V-Vaan."
"How closely connected are you to Sera?"
"S-Sir?"
"I am asking how much do you know about her. What is your relationship with her? Are you her close aide? Or are you simply someone who works in her family?"
Vaan questioned as he looked into Aldric's eyes with a chilly look on his face.
*Gulp*
Aldric gulped again.
Those eyes... he knew the moment he lied... he would lose his life...
It was Aldric's trump card, something that allows him to throw his weight around as much as he wanted, however, right now...
Aldric had a feeling that his first answer wasn't the best answer.
He needed to be honest here.
"I-I am not closely acquainted with Lady Seraphina. I u-used to work for S-Stormweaver Family. T-The only interaction I had with her were the ones where I met her after b-becoming your servant."
"So you are saying you know absolutely nothing about her?" Vaan questioned.
"I-I apologize for lying to you this whole time! Please spare me, young master Vaan!!"

Aldric simply kowtowed on the floor.
"So you are telling me that you are absolutely useless and know dogshit about my enemy when you claimed to be her close aide."
Vaan commented.
"E-Enemy...?"
Aldric's expression changed.
Vaan, however, ignored his surprise.
His stance was clear from the moment he met Sera and after recalling some memories after meeting Aldric, his stance was even clearer.
Seraphina was an enemy.
The previous Vaan was a fool over her so he couldn't see it.
However, he was different.
Seraphina knew damn well that he liked her, however, instead of accepting his feelings or properly turning him down, she was leading him on and using him. It got to a point where she even dared to walk into his house and order him around while acting like she was above him.
"You should have chosen the first option, you might have had a chance to live with that.
I have absolutely no reason to keep a useless man alive."
Vaan stood up as he said those words, however, just as he was about to leave,
"Y-Y-Young Master Vaan! I-I can tell you why Lady Seraphina ordered me to be your servant!
It is definitely something you should know!"
Please report us if you find any errors so we can fix it asap!
"You must really trust your Lady Seraphina, don't you?
