The Count Family's Young Master
Chapter 42 - Are you here? (3)

But in fact the light again appeared in the magic circle in front of them.

And this time what appeared was a group of people with the same number. But with a different member.

Valias had not expected to see the presence of those people in the present time. Especially one of them.

"You're here?" ask Valias. Put on an expressionless smile at the end.

Kei looked at Valias flatly as he normally would. The tall man then glanced in another direction. Meet Alister who looks at him flat on the back side of Valias.

Frey was silent in his place. Didn't expect to get another guest at that curfew.

"Young redhead. We've done as you requested." Radja smiled broadly. Stretching out his hands as if ready to hug Valias' body and squeezing it between his two large muscular hands. He speaks with pride and confidence. From the arch of the lips featuring the two rows of teeth, anyone could see that he was earnest with his words.

Valias smiles. "Thank you."

"......You don't look well."

The one who said that was Oza. He had a sinister face, but frowned at the figure of Valias in front of him.

Valias chuckles. "I don't think I'm feeling so good."

He always wanted to avoid. He denies the fact that he is tired. Still do not accept feeling tired just because of a few visits to the place.

"Really! You look so unhealthy! You need to rest." Radja is talking. Anyone could see that the red-haired young man in the room was not okay.

"Hm. I'll be." Valias assured himself that he would take a short break. He was afraid that something unexpected would happen if he forced himself too far. He's using Valias Bardev's body anyway. Not his own body that has good endurance and also quite weighty.

Valias Bardev's body is very fragile. Valias began to worry that something would happen to the body he was in.

"Zijah. Can you send him to his house?"

Oza spoke to a boy whose body was covered in a black robe. The boy had black hair and dark eyes as dark as the night sky.

Valias noticed the boy's flat gaze at her and started to put on a smile. "I'd be grateful if you did."

The boy named Zia was still looking at Valias before looking down. Nodding head.

"Smart kid." Radja laughed and patted the boy on the head.

"Let's go back, young master. You should rest well." Alister smiled beside him.

Valias nodded. Agree on that.

Both of them stood on top of the magic circle. The boy named Zia activated the spell and the two men disappeared from the room.

Frey watched the two men leave and sighed. Realizing she now has to face Kei and his friends alone. He had to admit he felt more secure and comfortable when he had Valias by his side. He really felt he would be fine as long as he had the red-haired young man nearby.

But Valias is not well. He should rest. It's only natural that Frey would face this on his own.

"Belg-i"

"alright. Let's go back."

".......???"

Frey saw the four people in his room setting themselves up on the magic floor. It was as if they were ready to leave. The voice was Radja.

"T- Wait. You guys are leaving already? There's nothing you want to talk about?"

"Huh? Talk about? Wh-wh-what for? The person we want to talk to is no longer there. Why are we staying here?" Oza responds indifferently. "Come Zia. I don't like to linger in this rotten building."

Zia nodded. Then the four disappeared from Frey's room. He left the man alone in his room.

"Why is everyone just looking for Valias? Shall I appoint Valias as king only?" Frey started to grumble.

He felt his pride as a future king Hayden was no longer left.

...***...

It was daytime. When the young man finally opened his eyes.

His head was drowning in the softness of the pillow. And his whole body except his head was covered by a thick, high-quality blanket. Valias recalls himself sleeping after being helped clean himself and changing clothes by Alister. He just laid his body and closed his eyes. It seems that Alister is fixing his sleeping position and also putting blankets all over him. Make him drown in the comfort of a bed so cool.

Valias let out a mutter while waking himself up to a sitting position. Use the time to look at the view of Valias Bardev's room presented to him.

No matter how many times Valias saw him, he could not help but be amazed by the quantity of paper full of blood-stained writing that was in the bedroom room.

Valias Bardev really did.

Whatever the original owner of the body that Valias was occupying was doing with those papers, he had something he was after and wanted him to accomplish.

But what. Valias wonders.

Given the words that came out of Wistar's mouth when they were at the border, Valias thought that was exactly what happened.

Valias Bardev wants his writing to be unreadable by anyone. Because he has something he wants to hide.

Butwhat?

And what is the content of those papers?

It was still a mystery to Valias.

Valias Bardev's. He is the most mysterious figure of all.

Valias doesn't know anything about the teenager. In addition to the knowledge of him who is the older brother of Danial and Dina. The eldest son of Hadden and Carla. Then it was about him staying with his mother before he met Hadden and started living with his father.

Valias doesn't know anything about Valias Bardev.

Even about the fact Valias Bardev has red hair, which no one but himself has also invited a question mark.

Abimala who is usually not the person who will carry the trunk of his nose on a problem.

But only this time. Because in fact he was in a situation that made him deserve to have a lot of questions. He wondered about Valias Bardev's true identity.

Tuk

A door that was knocked on was heard. Alister's at the door with the wheel table. Ready to give Valias food.

"I could've guessed you'd wake up during the day." Alister has his smile.

Valias is not having the energy to respond even with just a murmur. He let Alister prepare food for him. Even let the waiter bribe him.

It's hard-to-understand. But Valias did not have so much energy in his body. Is that lazy? He doesn't think so. He was never lazy. And he's not lazy. He just doesn't have the energy to do anything.

Tired of what I really am?

He thought with himself sleeping until noon he would feel better. Actuallyno.

Alister looked at Valias who looked powerless. His eyes are empty. I don't know what his young master was thinking in his head.

In another position, Alister was busy with his own thoughts.

He saw the elves. Also a shining flower that he had never seen before in his entire life. Never did he think that there would be a flower that could shine and have the ability to treat just by being cast a spell by an elf or a person.

They really exist. Man with pointed ears. I don't know what other creatures actually exist, but only have never shown themselves. The thing he witnessed last night started to make him have a high curiosity towards more things.

But no matter how curious I am, there will be nothing that can defeat my curiosity for this boy.

Valias Bardev's. Teen owner red hair. Which was so mysterious that Alister could not even guess what was on his mind.

Alister was just waiting for more things to unfold before his eyes.

Until that happens, I won't even let it escape my eyes.

The servant looked at his master who was still empty-eyed.

"Young fruit. If you still don't feel well, do you want to use the flower from that Miss Elf again?"

Alister's voice caught his attention.

Valias.

A flower?

Valias.

He felt the way the flower worked was like a drug. He doesn't want that. (a/n: narcoboy)

"I just need to rest a little longer."

Valias is tired. And for this time he won't force his body again. He would accept the fact that his body was now no longer his former body. He's going to be more careful with this new body. The body belongs to Valias Bardev. The young man is frail and mysterious.

"What are you planning, young master."

Alister asked. Valias always has something he wants to do. He just wants to know. After what happened last night, what the red-haired teen would have planned.

Valias turned his head, before turning his gaze toward the large window that displayed the sky.

I plan to visit Solossa.

And that's what he's gonna do.
