The Arthur Family: The Encounter With The Mistress.

After the discussion between the two, an estimation of about thirty to forty five minutes was consumed in order to reach their destination.

As they were closing up the gap between them and a huge golden gate with railings that stretched out to God knows where, before them was a sight to behold.

They could already see the huge numbers of maids that are working on the estate's floral garden.

With just a single blow of the horn, the gate automatically spread itself wide open for the fleet of cars to come in and as they all were entering, all maids at work immediately stood upright to welcome them in.

Slowly and silently as they ever could, did the drivers drove, and in front was a huge fountain and that's where Zyl's impression of the estate began.

In front of him was a whole large building, dedicated to be the family's parking lot.

The fleet headed into the building and a large number of car collections were sighted, with servants attending to them.

The building were divided into sections with each bearing the names of the family members and executives.

The fleet finally had their cars parked and all stepped out.

With Herrick in front, seconded by Zyl, they all walked out of the parking lot only to be met with golf carts that serves as legs for easier movement and coverage of the whole estate.

Herrick turned and with a nod, one of the crew members hopped into one of the cart, drove it to where both Herrick and Zyl stood. They two hopped in as well while the rest of the crew walked behind the trio and golf cart.

As they drive through the pathway, at their sides are modern complexes of different kinds and it took a while before the cart arrived before a mansion that was coated in gold. It had its own gate and railings, a fountain, a personal floral garden and so on.

Again, with a single beep of the cart's horn, the gate opened up to welcome them, in which they accepted and drove in.

The cart was suddenly parked at another specified parking lot that was meant for these golf cart.

The three stepped out as well, Herrick and Zyl headed inside the building that has its door opened up while the other headed out of the mansion area. As the two walked in, it felt like they walked into a mini shopping mall.

They are currently in what looked like a banquet hall as the dishing tables are seen at the extreme ends on both sides of the hall and in front of them, they could get a glimpse on what seemed like the stairs.

With Herrick leading the way, they walked towards the stairs.

As they were getting closer, they could already see someone cladded in a tuxedo, a stunning white hair and moustache, a bit skinny but with a presence that spells out elegance.

"Mr. Julius Devonte Zyl?" the man spoke out before the two could even get close.

"Correct." Herrick also responded from afar.

"Welcome back Sir Herrick" the man in tux greeted.

As they finally met, Zyl suddenly postured himself and made a slight bow to the man saying, "thy humble property of the prestigious family, the Arthurs, Julius Devonte Zyl, pleasure to serve."

This gave a shock to Herrick as he was not expecting such an attitude from the same kid that gave him headaches on their way to the estate.

"Hmm, no struggles and seems to me that he has accepted such harsh reality. Quite delightful I say, young sir?" the man in tux commented.

"I do say, I'm quite impressed." Herrick replied.

"Raise your head young one, my name is Sir Darwin, the Arthur's Family Head Butler. To your colleagues, address me as sir Darwin, to the family members, address me as the Head Butler and then, to the executives, address me as both." Darwin instructed.

"Understood sir." Zyl responded as he stands upright once again.

With a nod in which Darwin replied with to Herrick's, Herrick left on his own while Darwin places his right palm on Zyl's left shoulder and instructed, "follow me", and in response, Zyl did follow Darwin from behind as they both went through the stairs to the next floor.

They went straight to the upper floor and headed down its hallway to the last room that's directly facing the two.

As they both got close to the door, Darwin gave a slight knock and waited a response but received none.

He repeated his action once again and finally received a soft response that ordered them to come in.

Darwin tilted the door knob to the left and got it opened, then, they both were finally able to get in.

In front of the two was a view of a huge room that is enough to be called a small self-contained apartment.

At the far end, a huge double king sized bed can be seen and a female figure can be seen sitting on the bed.

They both got closer to the figure and before Zyl's eyes was a beautiful redhead with a fair glowing skin but was still cladded in a pajamas.

Without wasting a time, Zyl prostrated by going down a knee with a bow, he then greets, "Greetings Young Mistress, it's an honour for me, a disgusting property to be able to serve a distinguished being such as you for life."

"Why are you on a knee?" she asked with a calm voice.

"Huh? Is there anything wrong Ma'am?" Zyl asked but as he raised his head, he saw the girl right before him and was able to capture her eyes that it's iris is of blood red which depending on how the eye muscles are flexed as well as the facial expression to compliment it, it can look beautiful, seductive or scary and in this case, Zyl is witnessing the latter version.

"I asked again, why is a knee on the ground?" she questions as the room becomes tensed up.

Being confused on what was going on, Zyl decided to be silent.

"Seems like you don't understand, just stand up, okay?" she ordered in which he carried out with a response, "as you wish."

While standing up, Zyl thought to himself, 'maybe, she is not so bad as I expected.'

Before Zyl could get back to focusing on the situation he was currently in, he noticed a folded fist coming right up on his face but it was slow to him as it can be compared to watching it happen in slow motion due to the difference in rank.

'This brat is literally trying to punch me to the ground. Well, let's act normally.'

Which he did after recollecting all his thoughts and bam, down did Zyl go as his head hits first to the ground while a fist was still on his face.

"You either be on two knees or flat on the ground as you greet me, understood? You are now my property, act like one and not as a self proclaimed knight.

Hey Darwin, take him away and teach him proper manners and etiquettes before my first murder experience will be all on him." She ordered.

"Absolutely Ma'am ." Darwin replied as he carried out the order.

As Darwin finally got Zyl dragged out of the room, in an instant, Zyl stood on his feet with no other body part to serve as a support, yes, by twisting his ankles.

As he stood upright while facing Darwin, he used his wrist to wipe off literally nothing on his nose or the area around it before making a comment as he glanced around his wrist as if he was checking for something, "oh, was actually expecting some blood, that's an over estimation right there."

Darwin being taken aback regained his composure in an instant but before he could speak, Zyl quickly cuts him off by saying, "can I please go to the training ground, I really now want to have a spar with your best melee user.

Oh yeah, don't mind me, for your information, I chose to get caught by you and as for what Herrick told you over the phone? It will be pointless if you keep monitoring me closely." Zyl's statement left Darwin speechless while Zyl shows off his set of white teeth which seemed all innocent and cute.

Nevertheless, Darwin quietly led him to the training quarters which was located outside the mansion through the back by taking the route down the stairs to the banquet hall and straight to the mansion's backdoor.

Then, walking past what seemed like a spacious backyard which could be compared to a moderate open event centre, arriving to a terrace in which they stood on to find another huge space which was quite busy with men cladded both in armour and none with their swords and other weapons clashing against each other.

With the help of naturally forceful heightened senses, Zyl was able to clearly see these men in practice, not just that but also the men in another demarcated section with special suits on as they were obviously practicing on using auras, mana and esper energies.

Being excited, Zyl breathed in deeply before commenting, "now, a familiar atmosphere."
