Grabbing 'Core Cleanse' Johan went straight to the Pharma Shop and got himself some cooling bandages. He needed them for Videl's healing. When Johan arrived at his house he noticed two strange figure standing at the entrance. The bodyguards were holding them back.

"Sir, you cannot come in here without the owner's permission."

"What do you mean 'the owner's permission'? I am his new maid. Where is he right now?"

"That's none of your business. Now leave before I have to use force."

The bodyguard had sunglasses on but one could see the furious look he had on his face.

...

Rachel had no idea that her new Lord wouldn't be at home. Videl, just told her told her to find some maids who were willing to work and that's it. Even though they had agreed upon meeting tomorrow, she had decided to take a look at this new guy.

But now the bodyguard wouldn't even let her go through and she brought one of her close friends with her who was also a maid.

"Grrr, come on can you not let these two cuties go through, please??"

"No, the f#ck you think I am?"

Just as she was about to use her special ability 'entice' to maybe get a chance, Johan interrupted their conversation.

"Bradley don't worry. I've hired them."

Bradley nodded. "As you say, Boss."

Johan had talked to both of them before leaving the mansion. They seemed pretty competent.

Waving at the two girls he introduced himself: "It's a pleasure to meet you two. I'm Johan von Parseval the master of this house. I apologize for the inconvenience. Please come in."

"Hmpf, well I suppose that's okay."

With shrugged arms and a expression o her face she followed him into the house. Arriving in the house her jaw dropped to the ground. After picking it up and putting it back into place she looked around the house. Her eyes sparkled as she couldn't hold back a "Wow!"

"I'm glad it's to you liking. Please take a seat. Videl should be here pretty soon as well."

"No, no, there is no need. I just wanted to check this place out before making any decisions."

"And?"

"Hmm? Oh, well, it seems like this place is pretty decent for a maid like myself."

"I see. I'm happy that it suits you. Then what about me?"

Rachel looked at him and noticed how she hadn't even paid any attention to him. He had a very handsome face. Sharp jawline, pretty blue eyes and most importantly his platinum blonde hair.

"You... seem to be alright as well."

She continued looking at him without noticing that her cheeks were burning and saliva was leaking her mouth.

Johan who wasn't used to this himself coughed two times but she didn't budge a single bit. The situation became increasingly more embarrassing for Johan until the other maid hit Rachel's head.

"Hey, idiot! Stop drooling!"

"I apologize, Rachel can be a little bit of an airhead sometimes. Anyways, I'm Maya. I was told that there is search for new maids and I wanted to volunteer myself."

"It's a pleasure to meet you, too. Would you guys like something to drink?"

"No thanks, we just came by to say hello. We have a couple of other girls ready as well. They will come by tomorrow."

"Very well. It seems like you had a chance to look around a little bit. Is there anything else you want ti know?"

"I think we're go-"

"Hold on!" Rachel immediately sprung up. "The real reason we're here is because of Videl. It seems that you have seduced her in some way. she said that you'll heal her but we all know that that's very expensive. Why would you waste resources on somebody like her?"

She looked at him with suspicious eyes. Johan sighed as he looked at her.

"It seems like I can't really lie myself out of this situation. So what I am going to you from this moment on will not leave this house. do we understand each other?'

All of a sudden the atmosphere in the room changed. Johan's eyes became cold and the pressure started to rise. It was Bahamut's ability. Rachel and Maya immediately sat straight and looked at him with caution.

"Do we understand each other?", Johan repeated.

"Yessir!" Both of them said at the same time.

"Good. Videl's situation is bad. Like really bad. It seems like she doesn't know but it's not only her core that's damaged but also her skeletal muscles. It won't take long until her body start breaking down completely."

Johan paused. Maya had a hand over her mouth and Rachel's vain started to pop out.

"It seems like there are not a lot of options left if we want her to remain by our side.", Johan continued.

"First of all I need to heal her core. It will take a bit of time but eventually she will have it restored. Then I will use my own ability which will heal some of her injuries and use Cooling Bandages to pause some of the spreading of the injuries. Then last but not least will I need a drop of her blood which will be used to connect her to myself which then will allow me to monitor her health."

Both of the girls were looking at him with surprise.

"So... you'll be able to heal her? That's... great!"

Both of them had tears in their eyes. Rachel stood up.

"We thought that you're gonna use her for some pervy stuff! Thank you!"

Johan stood up as well and patted both of their heads.

"Don't worry I'll take care of her. Now get going before she arrives. It seems that she doesn't know about you being here."

"Yes, thank you again.", Maya responded. With a smile she left the house.

...

"Hwaa, you know, I love you, right?"

"Yes, father."

"Good. Then follow what I tell you like you have always done. You're the only child of the family. We need you to get closer to the grandson of the patriarch, Johan von Parseval. He is sixteen like you and soon he will get married. Many people don't know but Thimauess is actually injured. For how long do you think his reign will be? His sons will fight over the position but in the end the patriarch will choose his son Mattheus. Everybody knows that. So from now get closer to Johan and try to seduce him."

Hwaa had a perplexed look on her face. she didn't like the idea one bit. Brox von Parseval, her father, put one hand on her shoulder and looked her in the eyes.

"I'm not asking you to let him close, just make sure that he has his eyes on you."

"Yes, father."

"Now, go ahead and finish your training."

...

"Sir, your order for a training facility has been approved. You can go there this evening. The keys will be sent to the location."

"Nice. Good work."

"Thank you, sir."

Johan's training facility was ready earlier than expected. He was assuming that it might take a couple of days. This came in handy as he didn't have a chance to try out most of his abilities.

'Bahamut are you ready? I want to see what your capable of.'

YES, MY LORD. THIS IS A GREAT OPPORTUNITY TO CHECK THE ABILITITES OUT.

...

The facility was about twenty minutes away with car. It felt a little far from home but when Johan saw what the interior looked like he forgot about the commute time anyways. It was quite spacious and had a high ceiling. the walls were robust with multiple layers of protection and the appliances were top notch. The newest training devices fresh from the company.

"This looks awesome. Thank you. You can leave now. ph, also make sure that nobody knows about this other than my father."

"As you wish, sir."

"This is far better than I thought it would be. Let's get started immediately."

Johan put on a specially made training suit for Rankers. It had sensors in it which would give him data about his performance.

"First let's get over with the Golden Light system."

He tried to concentrate and summon his Golden Armour. After a couple of seconds his body started to give out light. A golden armour started to appear around his body and after a few moments it was complete.

Johan looked at himself in a mirror.

"Woah! This looks so cool. It's like I'm a knight."

He created a sword from Light and started to do movements with it.

IT LOOKS GREAT BUT IT'S FUNCTIONS CAN ONLY BE ACHIEVED THROUGH THE RIGHT TRAINING. THE GUY WHO USED TO WEAR THIS WAS SOMEBODY INCREDIBLY SKILLED.

Johan remembered the name written next to his. 'Prince of Aria'.

"Who was he? Do you know anything?"

YES, INDEED SOME OF THE MEMORIES ARE STILL AVAILABLE. IT'S SAID THAT A VERY LONG TIME AGO, A KINGDOM OF LIGHT EXISTED. IT WAS SO STRONG THAT IT RULED OVER ITS WORLD FOR MILLENIA. THE PEOPLE OF THAT KINGDOM STARTED TO GO AGAINST GODS ORDERS AND WERE DESTROYED BY A GIANT EARTHQUAKE. HE WAS IN ITS PRIME TIME ONE OF THE STRONGEST HEROES. HE NOT ONLY DEFEATED SOME OF THE STRONGEST HEROES HIMSELF BUT ALSO CONQUERED THE KINGDOM OF DARKNESS. AS YOU ARE ALREADY FAMILIAR WITH THE FACT THAT LIGHT IS WEAKER TOWARDS DARKNESS THAN TO OTHER ELEMENTS AND ATTRIBUTES, SO IT WAS QUITE THE FEAT. I DONB'T KNOW MUCH ABOUT THE KINGDOM OF DARKNESS THOUGH. THERE ARE VERY LITTLE THINGS KNOWN ABOUT IT. THE WEIRD THING IS THAT THE KINGDOM OF DARKNESS HAD RULED THAT SAME PLACE FOR TENS OF THOUSANDS OF YEARS LONGER THAN THE KINGDOM OF LIGHT. QUITESHOCKING THAT NOTHING IS KNOWN ABOUT IT.

Johan was listening very closely since he wanted to know as much as possible about his system.

"Wow, that seems very interesting. Now let's get to you, Bahamut."
