The Damage Had Already Been Done

While Thirteen, Cristopher, and Rianna were eating in the dining room, something flew in from outside of the window and landed on top of the table.

"Welcome back, Vassago," Thirteen said before pouring water into a bowl and placing it in front of the dumb-looking bird.

He then grabbed a bowl of nuts that he had prepared in advance and also pushed it toward the bird, who was busy drinking water from the bowl.

This was the fourth day since the bird had left to do his mission, and he had returned to report his findings.

However, since there were people inside the room aside from his Master, Vassago just drank and ate before closing his eyes to rest.

Cristopher and Rianna watched the bird with great curiosity, but the two of them didn't do anything to disturb its rest.

"Young Master, what is this creature?" Cristopher asked.

But before the Thirteen could answer, Rianna beat him into it.
