Luckily while walking away the teenwolves didn't follow us worgen supported that girl back towards the school entrance setting her on a lone bench,my senses already identified the girl to be a werewolf.

-You didn't need to interfere that was pack business...

Worgen complained to me chelsie and hestia looked at him for a moment showing a stiff look on their faces.

-What else did you think I was supposed to do ? I clearly saw that you weren't going to hit him and on top of that you don't decide who I am hitting and who I am not hitting..

Worgen growled like an animal once again both of us stared at each other with a challenging glare.In the end worgen calmed down finally and sighed,seeing him like this I smiled with triumph flashing through my lips.

-Ehm...thank you for helping us just now,but what brother says is true that was indeed pack business outsiders have no right to interfere,but at the same time what you say is also true so we can't stop you from doing what you like...come on bro...

Chelsie said nudging her brother from the side trying to make him express gratitude which he replied with a simple grunt.

I didn't mind his attitude and simply laughed.

-I think I had spent enough time here I need to go now it was nice to have met you two...

I said about to part with these two until I noticed that chelsie had took the moment and grabbed onto my arm,the sudden approach made me a bit surprised and chelsie was also a bit embarrassed quickly letting go of me.

-Before you leave can we exchange phone numbers ? Since you are bro's friend and by the way what class do you attend I actually didn't see you around the school...

She said giving me a small sweet smile,hestia growled behind me to this display while worgen made a surprised expression followed by disgust.

I smiled wryly and pulled out my phone.

-I don't attend school,I don't mind exchanging numbers either with your brother that is...

Chelsie took the cue and immediately pulled over worgen and pushed him towards me making him exchange numbers with me,he had that devious look in his eyes when he stared at me trying to figure out what I was doing,honestly saying I wasn't really plotting anything I just thought that having worgens phone number could be nice,I don't have many friends and worgen seems to be a guy I could get along with.

-Goodbye !

Chelsie waved away smiling and like so we parted our ways.While walking home I still wondered what worgen was about to say before the sudden interruption whatever it may be,this case seems to be heavy on a lot of people who aren't even involved.

The line of thought only crossed me for a few seconds until finally diminishing into nothingness hestia and I also entered the house and as we got inside something unexpected happened.

-Well hello there it was already time for you to arrive,honestly saying you really live in a small house did the greenwood family provide you with this ?

My eyes got momentarily wide as I tried to identify the person that stood in front of me...it was quinn...what was she doing here ?

As if she was reading my mind quinn started to approach me and hestia in confident large strides her posture and composure was top notch coupled with her appearance which was very beautiful she looked like a real empress to me her air was royal and graceful,but not enough to sway me.

-Sorry that I had suddenly barged in like this,your subordinate had let me in a few minutes ago funnily I noticed that all of the personal here seem to be woman do you mind explaining me that ?

Quinn asked me teasingly she was most probably probing me of any kind of weakness,but I held my own ground and simply coughed.

-Lady quinn do you mind telling me first why you are here at my home ?

Quinn narrowed her eyes she licked her red lips and replied to me,behind her I could see the three girls peeking out of the door and watching this interaction curiously,christina and was also there it seemed.

I turned my attention back to quinn who was just about to speak.

-What ? Did you not get the call ?

-No,I did...

I replied,I knew that I was going to work for them the next day,but I didn't understand why she was here ? Quinn probably guessed the conclusion of this conversation and decided to skip on her own.

-Well then its clear,the reason I came today was to check on my future bodyguard of course my father assigned you as my new protector so of course since we are going to spent a lot of time together I need to know about you some more,then why not start by visiting your home...

She smiled through the end of her sentence showing a cute display in front of me if it was any normal men they probably discard the issue,but I wasn't any normal man.

-If so then I beg your pardon lady quinn I am thinking of leaving right now today is my weekend the agreement we had through master steward stated that I would work for you from tomorrow on,I don't want to be rude or anything,but I have a lot of things to do that need my attention towards

Quinns faced temporarily cracked for a moment she still smiled though and I could hear hestia snicker behind me.

Quinn obviously wasn't going to prolong this issue anymore she probably even expected something like this to happen thats why she stepped aside nodding her head.

-I understand,honestly saying there was another reason why I came here today I wanted to give you this actually...

Quinn said opening her purse and pulling out what seemed to be three silver rings with strange inscriptions on it,she gave it to me.

-That ring is a identification ring used by the guardsmen in our house it allows you to enter our property safely without alerting anyone since you are going to work for from now I am expecting you to wear this ring at all times your subordinates included of course..

I nodded not saying a word,just acknowledging her of course and staring at the 3 rings.

-Now then I shall take my leave...oh and by the way I hope you take care of me from tomorrow on dawn...

She said bowing her down towards me with a friendly smile crossing her lips,I did the same and watched her leave as she opened the door and got outside.

-I don't like her,she wants something from you...

Hestia commented from the side I gave her the silver ring which she took and stared at for a few moments finally putting it to the ring finger which I found a bit funny,to humor her I also put the ring into my own ring finger making hestia smile in return.

-Doesn't everyone ?

I asked both literally and metaphorically while looking at the silver ring that I had put into my ring finger...things just change like this everyone wants something from anyone thats just how it works now.

Finishing this conversation both me and hestia turned and walked towards the second floor the 4 peepers quickly ran up so they wouldn't get caught,on the way I gave leraje the silver ring just in case if anything would happen that would need his presence,I didn't want any demon exorcise happen up in here if he suddenly appears out of nowhere and we don't have a proper explanation.

Time was key we spent some good amount of time having the girls set up to school today just as agreed I needed to visit sera to have her implant the artificial eye to amy currently christina had set up a powerful glamor to amy making her look like a very normal girl with both eyes intact no,one would notice even if they touched her eye patch they just think they were touching some soft skin beneath the eyes the effectivity of the spell seemed to be very strong worgen was obviously fooled by it,but that didn't really say anything in my perspective the glamour doesn't seem to work at all,I can still see the eye patch present.

-Amy get yourself clothed alright ? We are going to go to a friend and help you get an eye how about it ?

I said stroking the girls head she obviously liked it very much and only started talking after I finished stroking her.

-uhnn..yes,brother !

The other two girls were in the kitchen at the time getting something to eat and on another topic today the supplies were supposed to arrive if I remember correctly,while I am gone christina would handle it and when I return I expect them to have gotten everything tomorrow steward would also give me the papers for the coffee/repair shop so things were actually going smoothly and settling in perfectly christina and the other woman can manage the rest,while I do my own work of course.

Things were finally resolving themselves huh ?

-Brother I am ready !

Someone spoke bellow me,I looked down and saw the charming amy hugging onto my waist,even this girl was growing on her own everyday the once scared little broken child was also smiling again which made my heart calm down even more.

I will protect that smile I promise...

I thought to myself stroking the girls hair and walking up the stairs towards the third floor where the transportation gate was located at.

I operated it on my own and chose the location which was the academy using the transportation gate was really unpleasant,but I kept it in and embraced the bright light to my small suffering a bit more easier which it was not.

-Wahh...

Amy bellowed with a light of small amazement rushing through her eyes,even at weekends this place wasn't just empty there were still a lot of things happened all around and the different kinds of individuals that came here were also amazing or different so to say...

Hestia kept a sturdy grip to amy and made sure that she wouldn't run off anywhere the way hestia handled the small amy made me look at her a bit more charmed for some reason,I didn't expect a fiery woman like hestia to converse with children like this so smoothly I rather had the impression that she didn't like kids,but it didn't seem to be the case.

Hestia of course had caught my look,but didn't say anything and just continued to show off getting through the crowd of people and then through the island was very easy and not as problematic for some reason like last time sure the woman did give me a lot of eyes and the guys were ogling hestia non-stop,but they kept a certain amount of distance from us which was weird,neither me or hestia wore any masks so I expected something to happen,but it didn't when I asked about hestia's opinion she just showed my the ring she wore making me instantly realize how were looked right now...

A woman a guy and a small child both of which are wearing rings on their ring finger...like a small family..

I felt slightly shy with this kind of public image,but I didn't explain anything to anyone and just continued to move on hestia on the other hand seemed to be mightily proud of herself all the way until we got into the library were sera lived in.

As we entered the building someone suddenly called out to me.

-ahh...dawn I expected you here...

The voice was familiar and as I turned to the left I saw verdath surprisingly today he wasn't wearing his usual butler outfit rather he was wearing a black trench coat with blue jeans and black boots pretty normal to be honest since I thought that verdath was one of those people who only wear one particular outfit everyday like steward does which was his butler outfit.

-Verdath you why...were you expecting me ?

I asked a bit confused my sight also glanced towards the stairs up to the door that was closed shut as verdath spoke to me.

-You and sera seemed to be good friends thats why I fully expected you to come here at some point,don't bother going up and asking for her she isn't at home currently...she left yesterday thats why she couldn't come to the party...

Having him remind me of the party I suddenly remembered that sera was supposed to attend that as well,but I forgot and as far as I remember I didn't see her there she must have forgot our arrangement or she left urgently since I couldn't imagine sera to be someone irresponsible.

-Sera had family business and needed to attend a meeting with her family thats why she is busy really...

Verdath said and immediately my mind thoughts turned upside down...something was incredibly fishy with the reason verdath told me why she was gone...sera didn't have a family she said that they were gone eradicated by a dragon there shouldn't be any other family she has right now...other then the dragons ? that should be wrong shouldn't it ?

I turned my eyes towards verdath a bit confused he saw the meaning to my stare and kept his eyes on me calmly as I asked.

-Are you sure ? Did she say that herself ? Were did you hear it from actually ?

I inquired,but verdath simply smiled which he only seemed to do when he was excited asking me instead.

-Why do you care ? Aren't you just here to get something fixed by her ? What right do you have to demand those questions out of me dawn ?

-I am her friend and she is my friend thats why I have a right to ask you where or why she had gone...

I said without hesitation getting slightly agitated by verdath who looked a bit surprised,but asked again.

-Then if you are her so called "friend" what are you going to do if I tell you where she went ? Does it even matter...

The way verdath was implying things made me awfully suspicious about him it sounded as if sera was in trouble which honestly worried me a bit...maybe that dragon came back for her ?

I sucked in my breath and told him clearly.

-If she is in any sort of trouble verdath then you are obligated to tell me about it...

He continued staring at me his smile long since gone replaced with a blank look on his face and his eyes scanning me and my serious expression.

Verdath sighed closing his eyes he started talking.

-Alright then,if you really are her friend then did you know that she is also a empress ?
