Chapter 9

There is nothing happened along the way after the attack and the diplomatic team safely reaches Asgard. Odin, the other gods of Asgard, the captain of Valkyries, Brynhildr come and receive them. After that Brynhildr take them to the place they would stay during this time. It is a big three story mansion with a large fountain in front of it.

The Volundr and his peerage go to their respective rooms that are given and unloading their stuff.

Volundr throws his body onto the bed,

"Sigh!"

"Who are those people that attacks those train ? Khaos brigade ? other unknown factions ? Grigori ?" ,he wondered.

"Tomorrow, I will start to look for Rossweisse. I hope everything will go smoothly."

Volundr then falls asleep.

In the morning around 8 am, Volundr and his peerage are eating breakfast.

"You guys can go around and visit the place which you like. Yesterday, I asked Brynhildr and she said we can go to visit anywhere as long as some forbidden places. Chances of visiting this place is very rare. You shouldn't miss it. I will be looking for my last rook candidate. "

After finishing his breakfast, Volundr go out and start to look for Rossweisse.

"I chooses Rossweisse as piece because of many factors in it. I could choose from noble houses but that has loyalty issue. I also does not want to spend my rook piece to unknown person. "

" I would also like to have dragon as a rook but ordinary dragons are not worth to recruit as mutated Rook. What about a dragon king, the nearest one, Tiamat? Don't make me laugh. This dragon king won't even look at me, just like Great Red ignores Tanin's challenge. "

" Then one candidate appears in my mind 'The Gremory second Rook, Rossweisse '. She is a rook piece but she is master magician and has enormous magic power without being a bishop piece. And she could handle rook trait really well."

" Imagine how powerful she will be as a Rook piece, especially a mutated one. To make her as my rook, I have to persuade herself, her family and Odin. Odin is the easiest, just introduce some Oppai. She and her family will be the key. But first I have to know where she is. I could go and ask Brynhildr about her. "

That is what Volundr thinking.

He starts to look for Brynhildr. She is pretty easy to find due to her being the captain of Valkyries.

"I heard you are looking for me. Do you have any business with me." asked Brynhildr.

"Yes, I was looking for you to ask you about a person."

"Who would that be, Mr. Agares?"

"It's a girl named Rossweisse. Her family is known for their seiz style spiritual magic. Do you know her?"

"Yes,I know her. She is the only child of her parents. And she is the candidate for her family crest. May I know the reason why you are looking for her."

"You know the devil has evil pieces that can recruit people as their servants."

"So.....?"

"I want to recruit her as my Rook piece."

" That would be difficult because she is the candidate for her family crest."

"You will never know without trying,right. I will also give her a fair peerage contract. So , do not worry about her getting unfair treatment. "

After getting the address of Rossweisse's family, Volundr immediately depart for that place.

Asking for direction here and there, finally he reaches the place.

Ring,Ring,Ring!

He hits the bell button.

A maid comes out and asks,

"Hello,who might you be Mr? Are there any business ?"

"I am here to look for Rossweisse and his parents. Could I meet them?"

"Let me ask my master."

After a while, the maid said," My master said you could come in. Follow me please."

Volundr follows the maid to the living room of the house. He saw a woman in her sixties.

"Hello, I am Volundr Agares. It is nice to meet you sir and madam."

"Could you tell me why you are looking for us?" asked the woman,

"Actually I am interested in your grand-daughter, Rossweisse. I need a Rook in my peerage."

"So, you target my grand daughter. You should know that my grand daughter is a candidate for our clan crest." the woman interjected.

"Yes,I know. I also know that she has many ceremonies to inherit since her childhood but it is unsuccessful till today. That means she isn't compatible with seiz style. Here is her peerage contracts.There are benefits and the duties that she has to fufill in it. You could look into it. Also I can promise that I can make her one of the strongest rook if she become my rook. You know evil pieces right. There is also mutation piece that is stronger than normal piece. How about my mutated rook piece, think about it."

The woman went silent for a while due to digest the information he got now. Then she started to talk,

"I am Göndul . It is nice to meet you, Mr. Agares."

"Could I meet with your grand daughter for a while."

"Ross, come here for a while." Göndul shout at the back of the house."

A 11 years old girl runs out from the back of the house.

"Why are you calling me for, grandma."

"Here ,This Mr devil want to recruit you in his peerage.

"

"But grandma , I want to made you proud. I can't go there."

"There are many ways to make her proud.Not just becoming master magician and Valkyrie." Volundr interjected.

"I know you are feeling sorry because you can't inherit your family style. I could make you really really strong and win battles. You know that we devils have rating games, right. You can make your grandma proud by winning the game. I will also give salary and benefit more than being a Valkyrie. What do you think? "

Volundr continue pressing,

"You know evil pieces right. There are mutated ones are stronger than normal ones. I have a mutated rook piece. I want to use that on you.

Also you will not be with me the whole time until you turns 16. You can live here and study magic. I think rune style suit you well. You are talented in offensive magic. If you want to be my Rook, study defensive magic and barrier. And so on. I think you are very talented in magic. Seiz style does not suit you, then try other. I absolutely believe you are talented individual and you will become strong."

After drink water and Volundr continue, "Here is your peerage contract. See this, the salary is much more than being a Valkyrie. This is only starting. After you become famous and get sponsorship, you will make money much more.

"Grand mother Göndul and Rossweisse. Please carefully consider my proposition. I will leave the contact here and this is my flyer. It will summon when activate it. Then Excuse me."

After meeting who he wanted to meet, Volundr teleport back to the palce he stayed.

The meeting between Maou and the gods of Asgard started three days later after Volundr goes to Göndul.

There is no news yet. Volundr is anxious like hell.

Usually he is very calm and collected person but this matter make him lose control himself.

"Do I really have to do this. Tomorrow, we will be leaving this place. If I miss this chance.now,who know how much I have to wait later. I leave no choice.let's do it. I relieve that I have prepared."

"Balance Break"

"I wish to have Rossweisse as my Rook." Volundr shout.

"I used up all stored luck again. It is just enough for not suffering backlash." he sighs.

An hour later, he was summoned.

"I guess you have already decided, grandma Göndul and Rossweisse."

"We have decided to accept your offer. However we have a few additional request. " Göndul said.

"I have all my ear."

"I do not want you to reincarnate her before 16 year of age. I want her study magic here."

"It is all? then I agree. I will even give Ross salary starting from now and all kind of support for her education from now on. Do you agree?"

"We agree."

"I will add these additional agreements on the contract. "

After adding additional clauses in the contract, Volundr hands over to Göndul and Rossweise.

After that Volundr and Rossweise sign and Göndul also signs as Ross's guardian.

"Rossweise, could I call you 'Ross'."

"Yes,you could."

"Ross,I really believe a genius in magic.Try other style magic. Also I believe you are very talented in offensive magic. Keep focus on this aspect of you. Also rook piece give user a in strength and defence as rook trait. I would also like you to study defensive methods using rook trait. Also sealing magic, reinforcement magic, etc. Learn as much as you can. But your top priotity will be offensive magic, supported by other. You will be a wizard type Rook piece. I want you prepare for that. As me anything if you need help. Forget everything other people will say, just focus on your study. Got it."

"Got it. Mr Agares."

"You can call me Volundr, you will be my second in command, a secretory of mine, the closest people for me. Ok"

"Yes," Rossweise answered while blushing.

In Volundr mind, " Yahoo, I got her. "

Grandma invited Volundr for dinner and he accept it. It was one of the best dinner for Volundr not because of taste but because of his happiness.

After the dinner is over, they sit in living room and talk about everything. Volundr entertain grandma Göndul very well. After that, they say good bye and Volundr returns to his place.
