Chapter - 3 Next day
The next day was sunny beautiful weather with the chirping of birds and people in the fief were seen happy while making arrangements talking
about the new son born in the house of the lord.
In-house butlers and maids were making arrangements for welcoming guests for the upcoming party.
While the head maid was in the kitchen preparing the breakfast and setting the table.
Butler: “ Is master awake”?
Head maid: “sire and little miss exercising in the backyard and madam sleeping.”
Butler: Okay, I’ll go call sire and miss you call Stella to take some breakfast for a madam in the room she needs the energy to supplement.”
Ronald went to the backyard there was noise coming from the clash between a wooden sword.
Matthew: good daughter, don’t use only force it will counter produce use speed and skill to perform swing and cut don’t force wind it will slow down damage and more energy will be wasted every swing goes with the flow of wind.
Sienna: hmmph, I’ll show you my movement wait we are just starting.
Spar was going between both there was a voice coming from the back. Butler's voice called for breakfast.
Matthew: smiled “let's go get something to eat it's not good for your young body to stress muscles there is still time for you to grow stronger .”
When they were walking back toward the house the butler was still standing as if waiting for the instruction of Matthew.
Matthew: “ Ronald have you sent the breakfast to Vanessa, she must be tired after giving birth to a baby. You should ask if she is up yet if she is then send her breakfast on the bed so at least she can rest for a few days.”
Ronald: “Sir, I asked Emily to check on madam if she is awake then I’ll just as a head maid help her wash and have breakfast.”
Matthew: “good, how is the preparation going for the celebration is there any problem family might be coming at any time they are using a magic boat to fly here at the fastest speed you should check on arrangements if there is any problem we should help to fix as it might big impact on how we celebrate, Our reputation will plummet.
Ronald: “ No problem sir, I just check the arrangements after the finishing chores if there is any problem I shall inform you upon.”
Then they walked toward the table and sat on the chair waiting for the maids to serve the food.

After 15 minutes breakfast was served with some light soup and meat with bread and some fruit juice, milk for Sienna.
After having breakfast they went to look at the preparation and problems that occur during the celebration.
Ronald ask the old man who was responsible for managing the people of the fief as he was the elder in their party who talked to Matthew if there was any need in the fief.
Elder: “ master Ronald there is a problem where the water is supplied from there is a big beast in the water which attacks anybody who gets close to water.
Ronald: “I see I’ll talk to master Matthew about the problem we find a solution together if the beast not moved from there we might kill it.”
Elder: “thank you sir that beast already ate three cattle in the village and nearly a woman who was close to water.”
Ronald went to Matthew who was standing with held arms with Sienna who curiously looked at the decoration with flowers and the colorful birds that were flying nearby.
Ronald: “ sir there is the small problem there is a bronze level beast in the pond where the villager takes supply from it and attacked anybody who goes close to the water.”
Matthew: “ A bronze-level beast close to the fief this never happened before we should check where the beast came from he might eat all the fishes in the pond that were linked to the river in the forest.”
Ronald: “Yes, sir we should check this problem quickly there is a shortage of water in the village they have some storage but not at large capacity.”
Matthew: “ you take some peak bronze guard as you are also at peak of silver there shouldn’t be a problem killing a bronze beast might it become a feast in celebration.”
“Okay, sir I’ll talk to guard John an take care of the beast as quickly as possible.”
After finishing the talk Matthew and his daughter walked into the village looking toward the decorations.
Sienna: “ Father, the decorations are beautiful with flowers and little birds aunt will like this natural environment as she has wood element magic she like plants and trees.”
Yup, your granny also has simple decoration if we do too much then she’ll shout at me and punish me for lavish treatment.
Hahaha, I remember at last birthday she took a broom handle and chased the whole house that was funny and mom also laughed at your behavior you even forgot your magic in front of granny as beat your bum.
Are you making fun of me my little daughter I will punish you for aren’t you afraid of it?
You punish me I’ll tell grandpa and he will make hang on the wall like last time he did when shout at me.
You little devil…
Sienna ran towards wood as Matthew followed her there were animals in the forest if there was no magic you might be in danger as she was only a little child.
Hiding behind a tree waiting for the father to come Sienna covered her mouth as she looked toward Matthew who was chasing and started to cough and shout her name.
When he came near the tree he saw the shadow hiding he knew his daughter liked to play hide and seek like this and jump out when no is looking.
He went around from the tree as Sienna searching for him came close from behind and hugged him in his arms.
Not fair you cheated we are playing again this is foul.
Hahaha, my cute daughter if you hide every time in the same place how can you confuse the seeker who searching for you?
Okay, it's my turn you hide I’ll search for you.
As they playing the game Ronald came to john and asked for some guard to follow him near the pond to kill the beast who his hiding and attacking the villagers
They came near the bond there was peaceful like silent before the storm you can even hear the heartbeat which was racing in the chest of the guards for unknown.
It was a period of silence as Ronald ordered to circle the pond and use water magic to make the beast hidden in the pond come out.
Two guards used water magic and wind magic to make waves as the calm beast responded his shadow was shown as he was about to come out.
Ronald orders everyone to be on guard.
The beast is similar to a crocodile but has bigger and bulkier dark skin with black spots all over the body.
Ronald: It's a seventh-grade bronze beast kill it with wind magic on the ground not to pollute the water in the pond.
Okay, sir as per your order they use wind magic to hover the beat on the ground then used a water blade to cut neat on the neck as the beast struggled and dies under the attacks of the guard.
Nice job you guys no two of you go in the water to see if the link that made to the river is okay I think this beast may come through the link if there is a problem make it smaller only for fish and water purification.
Two guard dive into the water searching for the link there wasn't a single fish as it might be eaten by the beast.
They got closer to the link tunnel and saw the pipe is broken as the hole expanded enough for the beast or a bigger creature to come through. They use water and wind together with the earth to stop overflowing water and the tunnel whole becomes smaller size as it use to be before the beast went through.
After finishing the job swam to the shore and told to Ronald the job is done as they carry the beast back to the village.
Ronald came back and order guards to disect the beast if is edible and then use it in a feast if not then through it to the dogs and use skin and other useful things to make armor and weapons.
Ronald went toward the house and asked the madam if she had breakfast as the head maid told him about helping her to bathe madam and serve the food in the room as she had rested she is fine and already breastfeed the kid and sleeping in the room.
Ronald asks about the master and where he is.
Sir never came back there was voice in the village saying he was playing with Sienna in the woods you can call them lunch is ready its already noon they might be tired
