Orpheus Mansion[2]-The Blue-Eyed Demon

In the guest room of the Orpheus Mansion, Ruthven who had lost himself to his thousands years of fatigue was currently sleeping without a care in the world.

Time seemed to slow as if depicting the calm before the storm.

As Ruthven slept, dreaming of the times to come a knock was heard at the door.

But currently in his dreams, Ruthven continued to doze off.

The knocks continued till finally He had no choice but to wake up from his dream realm.

"*Yawn*.... Come in."

Responding to the invitation, the door open and soon a red-haired maid walked in.

Her hair that was tied in a long french braid that reached all the way to her hips only added further charm to her beautiful face, with this alone Her face could score her a 7.5/10 even without makeup.

And With the black and white maid uniform that she wore, reaching all the way to her ankles just above her feet, Her charm grew as it showed her perfect hips.

Ruthven smiled lightly as he stared at the maid before greeting her...

"Good morning Elizabeth."

Elizabeth chuckled as she heard his words, and on the other hand Ruthven was lost as to why she would laugh.

Seeing this, Elizabeth shedded some light on the matter, "It's evening, Mr. Ruthven."

"Ohh is it now?" Ruthven tilted his head and looked at the giant window behind his bed, and as said by Elizabeth, it was indeed evening.

The starts had already maid their way to the night sky and the moon was providing light to the creatures of the dark.

Yawning once again, he looked at Elizabeth, "So why have you come to wake me up?"

"By Young Master Nicholas's order, I've come to escort you to dinner."

With a sigh, Ruthven got up from his lovely bed and walked towards the maid.

Elizabeth at first was startled but as she closely looked at Ruthven, she noticed his intentions...

"Right this way." She said, ready to guide him to the dinning room.

Soon the two were walking inside the mansion and after a while they had already reached their destination.

Elizabeth slowly opened the door and gestured for Ruthven to enter with a slight bow.

With no reason to refuse, Ruthven entered the room and watched as Elizabeth closed it behind him.

Returning his gaze to the table before him, the room's already tense air caught up with him.

"Welcome Mr. Ruthven, My son has told me quite a lot about you."

Ruthven looked at the man who just greeted him and couldn't help but think, 'He must be the family head.'

The man was someone Ruthven had seen quite a lot even if it was their first time meeting, after all his portraits were all over the mansion.

Seemingly around the age of 50years, the man had short white hair and on his wrinkled face was a white beared that added further to his imposing aura.

He wore formal attire with gold decorations just like the rest of the mansion and his suit had an "O" emblem on his breast pocket.

"I hope he didn't speek ill of me." Ruthven responded, a smile like always on his face.

"Hahaha, How could he?" The man said, "Now please take a seat."

Ruthven nodded and moved towards the empty seat on the table, And as soon as be sat down, his coat disappeared without a trace, leaving him in his white shirt and black pants.

Noticing the change of clothing from the white sleeves on his arms, a surprised gaze was seen on his face but completely disappeared the next moment.

"Beta!" He called for his system using only his thoughts.

Appearing in it's usual blue light, the system-Only visible and audible to Ruthven-respond

Ignoring the fact that the system had just called him master... "What happened to my coat?"

"Mrs. Valkron?"

Unsure whether the fact that 'the system had a name and this was the first time he heard of it' was a good thing or not, A sigh left Ruthven's mouth.

"Thanks for the info." After these small words, the system disappeared and that's when the surprised gazes of everyone around him finally came into view.

Contemplating on how he should lighten the mood...

A burst of loud laughter came from Nicholas's father who was slowly standing up... "As to be expected of someone of your status, truly magnificent." He said, bring back everyone from their trans.

"Surely you jest." And with a light chuckle Ruthven responded to him.

"Well then, I would like to formally introduce myself," The head of house said as he courteously bowed, " Bergroar Lin'ur Orpheus, Head of the Orpheus Mansion and Count in the Linuz Kingdom."

As Bergroar finished his introduction, the room fell silent as he and everyone else looked at Ruthven....

Waiting for his Introduction.

When the latter realized what was happening, a long sigh left his mouth as he stood up from his chair and immediately his coat reappeared but this time it changed color.

The coat turned to a blood red color, and in the next moment his other clothes followed suite.

Following Bergroar's former introduction, Ruthven bowed slightly with his eyes closed...

"Nice to meet you all." He said, his voice overlapping with many others as if more than on person was speaking....

And it was true since his other personalities were introducing themselves...

"The name's Ruthven Highlord, The Blood God Candidate or as you all know me....

The first of all Demons and Ancestor to the Demon lord..."

Raising his head slightly, he opened his eyes, and instantly an unknown pressure befell the entire mansion.

His eyes changing color and glowing in a blue hue, he continued his introduction with a smile...

"The Blue-Eyed Demon!!"
