Reaching Melvix family's estate

Zick knew about the specifics of the contract made between the Garcia family and mythical beast. As it was clearly mentioned in the novel-

{''in exchange for all the wine I gave and all which I will provide in the future, I want you to form a contract with me."

"its just a contract anyway hmph! just state what you want"

The foolish cat was filled with greed for the wines offered by the Head of the Garcia family 400 year ago, His name was Brett Garcia.

"I want you to stay in the garcia family estate and protect it till my blood flows in the Veins"

Brett Garcia said with a smile.

"What….that's all? then I don't have any problem forming a contract with you"

The cat thought that a human lifespan would end in no time.

"then I want another thing, you can't harm my blood"

"well that's fair....okay let's form a contract already"

Hearing this Brett's smile deepened.}

When Zick had remembered this, he wrote it down in his diary in case it came into use in the future.

'i guess that's all I can do for now'

Walking on the corridor, Zick thought to himself. He could not ask any excessive demand from the cat as he is already aware of the cat's vigilant nature against humans. if he had asked anything that crossed the cat's bottom line he would be rejected, breaking his relation with the cat forever.

The cat had already left him after the end of the ceremonial party.

Reaching in front of his room's door, Zick found Butler Von standing there like a statue.

Feeling Zick's presence, Butler Von bowed towards him.

"Tell everyone to prepare for leaving tomorrow morning"

"yes"

Butler Von answered, still bowing his head.

"And was the present from the Melvix family delivered properly?"

"yes, it was delivered without any problem"

Zick didn't know what the gift was as it was chosen by the current head of the Melvix family, Zevkoras. He didn't think much about it because he knew that Melvix's family would send something good.

Dismissing Butler Von, Zick entered his room with a smile still plastered on his face. 

After closing the door, the smile on his face faded away. It was replaced with a blank look, sitting at the corner of his bed a book appeared in his hand.

Zick felt mentally exhausted from just staying in the ceremonial party for so long, he wanted to rest but there was something he needed to check before that.

'jessir messih....I know that name from somewhere....'

Checking in the diary for a while, he found what he was looking for. His eyes focused as he read through it.

Jessir messih got in the way of the protagonist in the middle of the first year of the academy. 

At that time the protagonists had gotten a mission from the academy, it was to kill a band of bandits to gain practical experience. There jessir had met the protagonist coincidentally and got in his way for some reason.

Zick could not remember all the details of what happened in this incident as it was not important.

Putting his diary back in the space ring, Zick laid upon his bed not bothering to change his clothes. He started sleeping in no time as he was already exhausted mentally.

Waking up from his slumber, Zick felt all his mental fatigue had vanished.

'Well I am a middle rank knight....'

Looking out of the window, it was still dark with no sign of the sun rising. He had only slept for 4 to 5 hour but his body recovered to its peak. 

He wanted to sleep a little longer but he couldn't fall asleep no matter what he did.

"Sigh..."

Sighing out loud, Zick got up and changed his formal aristocrat dress to something comfortable. 

Sitting above the bed with still a blank look, he started training to increase his mana. Training in his mana for an hour, he stopped and started practising mana harmonisation. 

After a few hours, he heard someone knock at his door.

"Come in"

Saying this, a smile appeared on his face.

CLUCK~

Zick looked at the door which opened, Butler Von stood there with his signature stoic expression.

"young master Zick, all the preparations have been finished, we can leave any moment you wish"

"let's go then"

Not wanting to stay here anymore, Zick ordered Butler Von to lead the way.

Following behind him, Zick thought of the things he needed to do after reaching the Melvix family's estate.

He needed to master mana harmonisation first. There were still a lot of sword techniques which he needed to learn. 

'There's a lot of things I need to do after returning to the Melvix family's estate...'

In the front gate of the Garcia family's estate, Zick's carriage was stationed with knights surrounding it. When Zick reached the carriage, all the knights got down their horses and bowed towards him.

"depart as soon as possible"

"yes!"

Zick ordered the knights and entered into his carriage. 

The carriage departed in a minute, looking at the knights galloping on their horses besides the carriage Zick closed the curtains.

Zick didn't waste any time and started training in both mana harmonisation and increasing his mana.

The journey continued facing no obstacle in its way, even if any problem arose the knights took care of it immediately.

When the carriage reached the fiersvel city, Zick had another thing that he needed here. 

Staying in the same inn where he had stayed before, Zick could see that the door was already fixed. bringing Butler Von along with him in his room, he started giving an order to him.

"buy any 10 best sword from this city and if you find a magic sword buy it no matter the cost"

Throwing the plaque of the Melvix family to Butler Von, Zick sent him away. He could see that Butler Von looked at the plaque with a blank look but he didn't say anything to him.

Zick wasn't worried about Butler Von betraying him, because of the oath he found Butler Von to be somewhat trustworthy.

After an hour Butler Von returned with the ten swords that he ordered but unluckily there was no magic sword in the fiersvel city. 

'Well i didn't have much hope to get it anyway'

Zick accepted it easily, magic swords are rare as they have the ability to boost the potency of the mana. Finding a magic sword in a city like this would already be a miracle.

Collecting the swords and the plaque, Zick started training to increase his mana.

On the next morning, The carriage left the fiersvel city. After half a day, the carriage reached the Melvix family's estate.

***************

Within the Melvix family's estate, Zevkoras sat on a table in the lord's room.

He had gotten all the information about Zick's action from the master assassin that he assigned for his protection.

When the carriage had stopped in the fiersvel city and Zick had brought tons of mana drugs, Zevkoras was disappointed in him.

But the next morning when the assassin reported him, Zick had broken through to the middle rank without a speck of impurity in it. He started laughing like a maniac. It was both because of Zick not breaking his expectations and he regretted the order he gave to the master assassin a little.

He had ordered him to just protect Zick from any potential risk but he had also said to not keep surveillance at what Zick did within his room.

Which led to him not knowing what Zick did within the inn's room, But it didn't matter.

'Only by doing such huge feats does he have a chance of becoming the next head of the family.....'

Zick didn't have ash-grey hair like all the other heirs of Melvix family so there would be a lot of opposition in him becoming the next head of the family.

Only by doing feats that no one else has done can there be any chance for him to even fight as an heir.

"hahaha! let me help you too....if you can survive this task it would help a lot in becoming the next head"

Zevkoras had already planned on what he was going to make Zick do when he turned 12.
