Announcement

third person POV

' what does he mean by family, is it as in family sisters, although I'm sure there are many others who will be very happy to be his family, or is it that he is lonely, no no no that can't be he's the boss of a huge organization so he should be able to have anything that he wants' Lucy thought

Leon sat silently waiting for their response with the same defunct expression,

' Well that was unexpected but even if he treats us badly it will still be way better than living in the streets earning our daily bread with struggle and may even having to use our bodies' Mia thought looking back at Leon,

"We accept" Mia answered with a serious look on her face, Leon had the same expression but there was a little change in his eyes

" Well that's great," he said looking to his side and slightly smiling which could be seen if you look closely but only Lucy saw as she was sitting at the corner side of Leon

' what!!! so he can make another expression, that was soooo cute' she thought as her face slowly turned red for unknown reasons

Even now Leon was not looking for a love interest but just wanted to have someone who he can call a family

" Then I will take care of the needs and will notice others, " Leon said standing up and walking out of the room

" we'll be in your care," Mia said slightly bowing in appreciation

....

" So.... is he gonna be a brother or a father" Yuki blurted out breaking the silence

" I think it's a brother, cause he doesn't seem that old," Mia said in a rather calm tone

" Then are we gonna resist if he goes for the body," Yuki asked Mia casually

" wha-what Yukino where do you learn those things," Mia exclaimed with a blush on her face pulling Yuki by the ear

" Ou-ouch, Cassy told me in the slave market," Yuki replied holding her ear to relieve the pain

*sigh* " Don't go saying random things suddenly," Mia said letting go of her ear

" let's just hope that he does not," she continued

Yuki then looked toward Lucy ", nee-chan you seem rather quiet considering your usual behavior," she said arm

" hahh!!! Yuki, don't suddenly come up to me like that," Lucy said breaking out of her thoughts

" I do you mean suddenly you're just lost in your thoughts that you didn't know," Yuki responded with a rather confused look

" Whatever just don't do it," Lucy said walking off to the other room

" what's with her," Yuki asked confused by her reaction

" Leave her be, she's just going through a lot," Mia responded thinking that she was just going through puberty,

' what is this feeling? why was I so embarrassed by the thought of him assaulting me? why is my heart beating so fast? is this what they call love, no no no that can't be it's not even one day since I met him' Lucy was bothered by this emotion which was new to her

Outside Leon was walking through the hallway when he left a presence in the shadows, he stopped and slowly turned "Come out," he said looking at the corner of the hallway where there was a white decoration vase

Then from the shadow of the vase, a woman and two men rushed out kneeling in front of Leon

"Lylia neuvo, 1st commander of the ghost troops, we greet the master," she shouted, a little nervous because she only heard about the dark lord in rumors

"What are you doing in Estrada ?" Leon asked

" Sir, we were ordered to aid general Gastov's troops in their battle, and as soon as we heard that you arrived we came to greet you" Lylia answered

Leon stopped and stared for a moment " you may leave" he ordered while turning around

"thank you, master glory to the dark lord " with these words they vanished back into the shadows

after a little more walking he reached a huge door with the head butler beside it

"Greetings to the dark lord," he said while slowly opening one side of the huge door

Leon slightly bows in response and then walks into the room

Inside there was a huge space conforming to the size of the door, there were two luxurious couches in the middle of the room facing each other, a decorated table with a chair beside it and there was a window behind it and the room walls were decorated by various paintings

Azazel was sitting on one of the couches whereas Gastov was seated on the chair with the four commanders standing in front of him with their hands behind their back

All of them stood up facing Leon as soon as they noticed that he walked in" glory to the dark lord," they shouted in unison

Gastov quickly moves to the left side of the chair and Azazel walked to the right side

Leon walked toward the chair seating himself

" Sit," he said then Gastov and Azazel walked towards the couch while the four commanders stood behind them

" Master, these are reports of our battle with the Northern tycoon," he said while walking towards him and handing him a file

" We have seized the northern tycoon's main headquarters and its territory in other regions will be seized in a maximum of three days," he continued

" Good, then what about the slaves," Leon asked looking up from the file

" There are 765 slaves in total, 115 male and 650 female, 400 of them are willing to work under RUBY as maids and butlers, and the rest will be escorted back to their home

" Good, you may return," Leon said closing the file and looking at the nervous commanders

" Nadia," he called out looking at a girl with a huge bust, straight hair about the length of her shoulders wearing boots and a formal black suit with a skirt her beauty could be compared to that of Alina's

" ye-yes," she answered nervously

" You and the other three may leave the room for the moment,"

" Yes sir," they shouted in unison

' kyaaaaa he knows my name, he knows my name,' Nadia was screaming in her head blushing as they walked out of the room while the other three were beside her ' if I stood where she was standing master would probably call me too' they thought consoling them as they walked out of the room

" The reason why I've come here is that I have an announcement to make," Leon said looking at the two who were waiting for him to finish his sentence

" Do you remember the four girls who came with me," he asked

" Yes sir," Gastov answered

" I have decided to take them in as my sisters," Leon said

.....words could not come out of Gastov's mouth, he knew that he would have to do a whole lot of explaining to the other generals i.e Frieda, Noel, and Rin
