I am told to go to my room while they decide how to respond to this development. The funny part is that the topic of the entire table shifted from my older brother’s marriage to my new power. I really wonder how my older brother will react to this.
As I absentmindedly went to my room. As I am about to turn the other way a spirit popped up, the one I ordered to monitor Tear.
‘Tear is crying, she looks like she is in pain. I cannot understand them but those people are probably being mean to her.’
‘I will be right there. Thank buddy.’
‘You’re welcome.’
She stood at a secluded part of the hall where I could sense the presence of a few others. At first I hid to take a sneak peak at what is happening just to make sure I get the whole picture.
‘Man look at this slut, acting all pure and noble.’
‘I know right. After all that fucking you did you probably have a high sex craft skill, am I right?’
‘We are not asking for much. Or you prefer we tell the lord that a man tried to break in when everyone is busy attending to the guests. I think that man is your father am I right? Cam can you tell me the punishment for breaking into the Drake castle?’
‘I think the lord specifically said to exercise the death penalty if the identity is known and the person is no one of interest.’
‘Oh is that right. Did the lord mention how to exercise this penalty?’
‘No. I believe he said to use whatever method we see fit.’
‘Interesting. Do you guys think throwing him in the dungeon without food or water while letting our torturers use him as a guinea pig a fitting punishment?’
‘I believe it is. After all he tried to enter this sacred domain using such an evil method.’
‘Don’t worry we can look the other way and pretend he never came here, all we ask is that you give us a little benefit in return, say accompanying us for a night every once in a while. After all you are one of the most beautiful maids in the castle and it is not fair that only the young lord gets to hog that beautiful body.’
My hands are rolled into fists and I squeezed so hard that my nails dug into my skin and droplets of blood kept rolling down. I did this to calm myself down, the three guards surrounding her would not come out of this alive if I went in with current state of my mind.

(Calm down, calm down. Blindly raging about would do no one good. If things got bloody it would hurt Tear more than it would help her, besides I never killed before.)
‘Hey, is it just me or did it just get rather chilly in here?’
His words made me realize that I is currently glowing with a tremendous amount of spirit energy circling around me. I took a deep breath and calmed down. The gathered energy slowly dispersed but not until it brought down the room to sub-zero temperatures. This all happened in a matter of mere moments.
Seeing Tear shivering in the cold alarmed me and I hurriedly came out of hiding.
‘What is going on here?’
The shivering guards froze upon hearing my voice. They timidly turned their heads and I could see their faces sink.
When Tear saw me she ran to me, grabbed the hem of my clothes and kept bawling her eyes out. At this point I is worried that she is cursed and would never be able to stop crying.
I looked at the guards accusingly.
‘You see… you see young master that maid’s father is found sneaking in the castle so...’
‘Oh and the fact that you are demanding sexual favors, I wonder what that is about?’
My tone is very cold and they immediately panicked.
‘Forgive us! We swear will never touch her again!’
They prostrated themselves in front of me.
‘Try to hurt her again, miss treat the prisoner or tell my father about the trespasser, I will make you people regret ever being born. Is that clear?’
‘Very clear! We swear to it young master!’
‘Good, now get out of my sight!’
I am known to be ruthless and irrational among the servants, did not think it would come in handy here. They stumbled as they scrambled to get away.
After they left I relaxed and suddenly felt light headed, my vision turned hazy and it is hard to stay awake. I fell on to Tear and lost consciousness soon after.
The next I knew is that I is lying in bed being treated by the family doctor.
My head ached severely and it is difficult to think.
‘Ah! Finally back with us little one. Here have this it should help.’
Something really bitter entered my mouth and I almost spat it out in reflex. He held my mouth shut so I had no choice but to swallow. Almost immediately my head ache dimmed and my mind became clear.
I sat on my bed to find to find my father, uncle and the young grandpa standing across it. Each of them had a different expression. One is pride, one is shock, and the other is intrigue.
‘Well, little one are you alright? Do you feel an ache anywhere or feel a bit dizzy.’
‘No, I actually feel much better after that thing you gave me. What exactly happened?’
‘Nothing serious. You over taxed your mana is all, the herb I gave just jump started your mana regeneration allowing for a quick recovery.’
‘Oh. I guess freezing an entire room would do that to you.’
This time it is Sol who is surprised.
‘Boy. Do you not realize what you did?’
At his words I looked at him in a confused manner.
‘Son, you have brought the entire castle to below freezing temperatures. Thank the gods that Sol is here, otherwise everyone would have been in trouble. You really did it this time.’
His words are accusing but great pride could be felt in his tone. I is too mentally taxed to get it immediately, but when my brain caught up I immediately get shocked. I came out of the frying pan and fell directly into the fire.
