The man walks toward Alice and asks her “Where did you go? And Sebastian didn’t I tell you to warn me before leaving with my daughter?” the man wears a black suit, and the man had red eyes and red hair. The old man replied “I’m very sorry Master Charlie, but your daughter had taken off without hesitation and I could not let her get lost again in the city” Charlie sighs and sees Tony.
“Hmm? Who is this child? Wait those eyes… A half Drag-“, Alice interrupts her father by saying “I’m hiring the boy father, he will become my servant” Charlie looks at Alice and says “No.” Alice becomes angry and says “Let me hire the boy!” Charlie with a defeated look says “Look, he’ll stay for only a couple of days and that’s IT, ok?” Alice nods and leads Tony to her room.
Charlie sighs and says to Sebastian “Why is she like that? Who taught her to act that?” Sebastian says with a slight smirk says “You know Master Charlie, you were pretty rebellious when you were her age, and Madam also said the same thing” Charlie looks at Sebastian with an embarrassed face and says “I… I need to go to work” and walks away.
Meanwhile, in a place far away. A lizard man enters a dark room, in the room there are nine chairs, with each chair seeming to be occupied except for one. The lizard man takes a look at all of the figures, however, he could not get a proper look since the shadow blocks their faces. “Oi, Oi, Oi. Is this lizard man looking at our face” a voice said, “Do not lash out here Valentine please, anyway has the 2nd battalion returned yet?” another voice said,
the lizard man quickly replied with “Y- Yes they have” “I see, and was there a disk-like object?” the voice said with a pressing voice “N- N- No sir” the lizard man with a terrified voice “I see, then please take your leave” the voice said in a calm tone. The lizard man quickly leaves and heads home.
“Well, what do you guys think?” said the voice, “I think we should regain and recover our power. We were badly hit when fighting against Robert” The voices agreed.
Charlie works and asks Sebastian “Hey Sebastian, could I get another cup of coffee?” Sebastian makes a cup of coffee and hands it to Charlie. Sebastian walks around the mansion and sees Tony who is dressed quite nicely “Did Miss Alice give that to you?” Sebastian asks. Tony says “Y- yes, I am quite grateful for these clothes” and Tony walks away, Sebastian pulls out a pocket watch to check the time “It seems that is it 1:30 P.M., well I suppose I will serve the master his lunch,” Sebastian said to himself.
Sebastian heads to the kitchen and makes steak with a side of red wine, Sebastian heads to Charlie’s room and says “Master Charlie, it is time for your lunch” The room is dimly lit with the sunlight shining most parts of the room. Charlie takes the food and eats it “Could I get a refill of the red wine Sebastian?” Charlie says while pointing at the glass, “Master it’s 2:00 P.M. As a friend and as a citizen of this country I cannot allow myself to hinder my lord’s work with drinks” Charlie lets out a ‘Tch!’ but Sebastian ignores it, Sebastian asks Charlie “Why won’t you hire the boy? He seems capable enough to handle Miss Alice. And I think it might be time for an old timer like me to quit, I’d like to leave at least a capable servant to serve you”.
Charlie looks at his Sabastian and says “It isn’t a matter of why, it’s a matter of how.” Sebastian takes a look at Charlie and says “I suppose the people and the church might be angry because we gave aid to a half Dragon, but that doesn’t change the fact that the boy might still be good enough to serve you” Charlie sighs and looks at Sebastian “I’ll… Try” Sebastian with a pleased face checks his pocket watch and says “Oh my, it seems it is time for my break” Sebastian decides to exit the room and rest.
A case of literary theft: this tale is not rightfully on Amazon; if you see it, report the violation.
After That, a day passed, “Ok, think I’ve finished my work, I suppose I’ll check up on my daughter and that child” Charlie says as he walks out of his room, Charlie walks through the corridor filled with paintings and bust model’s and finally stand upon Alice’s room. He knocks on the door, but no one answers. Charlie once again knocks, but yet again no one answers. Charlie opens the door. The room was nicely decorated and the bed could at least fit 20 children he wonders “Just why did I buy that massive bed?”.
Charlie tries to find Alice, he searched from top to bottom, and right to left but not a single trace of his daughter could be found. Sebastian enters the room “Oh Master Charlie. Alice is currently with the child in the training arena” Charlie quickly runs to the training arena in the backyard of the mansion. The Training arena holds a couple of wooden weapons, a spear, a dagger, a great sword, a short sword, and a Claymore, the training arena also had a couple of beaten-up dummies that appear to have been ripped and torn by weapons, There also seems to be a sparring ring in the middle of the arena.
Charlie sees Alice and Tony, Tony is training his swordsmanship using a Claymore while Alice stands by and watch him train, Charlie approaches Alice “So why do you want him to hire him so much?” Alice looks at Tony with a smile and says “He had nowhere else to go” Charlie looked at her and says “I’ll allow him to work for us but, I want him to be able to at least land a hit against me, deal?” Charlie offers a handshake to Alice, Alice immediately thought of the offer and says “Ok!” and shakes his hand. Alice calls Tony and tells Tony about the deal, Tony immediately is startled and shakes his head to decline the match, however, Alice nods and Tony felt powerless to decline and agrees.
Charlie and Tony prepare for the match, “Your up boy.” Charlie says and he holds a short sword while Tony holds a Claymore “Isn’t the sword a little too big for you?” Charlie says, Tony looks at Charlie and says “Bigger is always better!” Charlie says “Not always, boy”. Alice quickly says “Wait! I thought you weren’t going to use weapons?” Charlie quickly smirks and says “Ehhh, when have I ever said that?” as he says that while scratching his chin, Alice panics and says “Tony, quickly! Forfeit the match!” Charlie Glares at Tony and says “Please take this fight like you’re going to die boy” Tony tries to move his mouth to forfeit the match, however, it felt like if he moved his lips they would somehow be cut off.
Charlie moves towards Tony and does a simple slash, Tony quickly backs away and swings the Claymore with all of his force, Charlie dodges it and punches Tony, the attack hits and Tony is sent flying off the sparring arena. Alice quickly comes to his aid and helps him “Forfeit Tony” Alice said however Tony stands up and says “Again” Charlie looks at Tony and says “I’ll admit it. You’re tougher than you look Boy. Now come at me, Boy”.
Tony runs to Charlie and swings his Claymore, Charlie once more dodges it and glares at Tony, Tony couldn’t feel his body, “Scared? Well, you should be I suppose” Charles said as he punches Tony once more. Tony is knocked out of the sparring ring, but once again he stands up, Tony moves towards Charlie and attacks him. Charlie says "Hah! Your not even worth using a sword!" Charlie drops his sword and Charlie dodges it and sends a barrage of punches, Tony’s body was beaten to a pulp. Tony once more is knocked out of the sparring ring. But Tony bloodied, beaten and full of bruises once again stands up.
Charlie glares at him Tony suddenly Gasps for air, he couldn’t breathe in or out. Tony kneels to Charlie, Charlie approaches Tony, as he does however he is surprised by Tony standing up “How? How did you do that?” Charlie asks, Tony simply looks at Charlie and faints.
