Chapter 75: School Opening (I).

Kein's POV

The moment I managed to get home to my estate with Pegasus, I let her into the stables and told her my thanks for waiting for me while I talked to the royal family.

Kazari's magic was really convenient, it would take me a bit of time before getting into the capital city where the castle was located but with her it only took me a second to get me this far.

"Brrr..." (Vanilla) snorted in her stables calling out for my attention and I held her chin rubbing it.

"Thank you for today, girl. You can take your time resting for today." I tell Vanilla who understands my words, she looks at me a little too softly today and not giving me much sass.

"Because in three days we'll have a lot of adventures after this." I pressed my forehead against hers waving goodbye when I finally decided to go inside my estate, the sun was already going down a bit by the time I arrived.

I could see several servants sweeping the outside and once they saw me they greeted me warmly. They immediately stopped what they were doing, with curious eyes they looked around for a bit seeing that I didn't have company anymore they looked piqued on where my lover had gone.

"Welcome back, Milady." Both of them went down for a curtsy in the end and I nod.

"Thank you, please be in haste on cleaning. The night will be cold at this hour." I tell them to open the door to get inside of my estate.

I walked fast onto the hallways full of portrait's I've always admired whenever I see the works of Father's late wife. 𝒇𝙧𝚎𝐞𝙬𝒆𝑏𝑛𝑜v𝚎𝒍.c𝑜m

Seeing Vivienne crying before I left to escort Rose back home to the palace, I wondered if she was still crying.

I hurriedly went to look for her as well as father, thinking they went into my old room because that seemed to be Vivienne's most favorite place to be in. When I faced the door I didn't bother knocking and opened the doorknob calling out to them.

"Father? Vivienne-" I called out but I was cut by someone shushing me to be quiet.

"Shhh..."

It came into view, my father looking so tired yet happily he smiled while Vivienne was sleeping on his lap while they were on the sofa. I could hear her snoring a little while she called out for Rose wondering where she was even in her sleep. "Zzzz... Mommy..."

I shake my head with a smile seeing her miss Rose as much as I do even though I escorted her home. I held the door carefully getting in inside my room before closing it trying not to make too much noise.

"I see that she decided to take a little nap before dinner." I tell in a whisper walking forward to them looking so peaceful.

Father laughs softly patting Vivienne's hair. "Indeed it took a lot of convincing and reassurance that her highness will come back eventually. I just told her that her other mother would have to finish something before coming back to play."

"Speaking of which, the second princess is safe back home, yes?" (Baron Hills) asks me and I nod sitting into the soft sofa with them looking so tired.

"Yes and I have received permission to continue my mission. I would have to leave for a bit." I look at Vivienne's sleeping face looking guilty knowing that I'll be leaving her for a while too. "I have to apologize father I know its just a little time since we've gotten Vivienne but I'll be leaving her in your hands for now."

I told my father sounding tired but he didn't seem to mind me leaving the little one with him, he sounded a bit happy even. "Do not worry, I'll be taking good care of my granddaughter." (Baron Hills) smiles, looking like he was planning on spoiling Vivienne like there was no tomorrow.

It made me frown remembering how horrible he is at controlling his urge to spoil her. If this continues I'll have to worry about her teeth falling out too.

"Father, don't spoil her too much to the point she'll get cavities." I glared in concern but he shakes his head.

"Hmm... no promises. Let your father spoil his only granddaughter, grandparents need to be tough with their children so they will be strong. That's why I never coddled you, Kein." (Baron Hills) pats my head and then Vivienne's.

"Now look at you, an independent person and certainly someone who can take battles for herself."

I would think the same… and I'm thankful he never coddled or spoiled me rotten, not because I was an adoptive daughter but he was thinking of my wellbeing and future.

I never coddled my earth Vivienne for the fear I might die so soon.

It is as I feared, I died a bit more early than I expected getting hit by a truck but before I did- I faintly remember asking her to give me grandchildren for me to spoil.

"So let me enjoy this but don't worry I'll keep her under surveillance. She'll be safe in our home." He assured me and I couldn't help but trust his words. "But in three days you'll be preparing... that's a lot of time preparing to leave for your journey."

"I would have to list what I would need for the demon lands and give it to Alfred." I told father and he looked at me suspiciously, being a former knight that might've traveled a lot when he was younger he might've been there before.

"The demon lands? You'll indeed need a lot of things, when I was younger I have only visited a few times... a new territory and the demons were not kind because of a certain history." (Baron Hills) f𝘳ℯℯ𝙬𝒆𝚋𝐧oν𝑒Ɩ.c𝑜𝙢

"I am aware of the history- sort of." I tell him, recalling some of my studies of it but I'm pretty sure all that of my studies contained lies because the books lent to me about it were- still hating on demons claiming humans were superior.

"Of course, in your books that you've read about the demon land I'm sure it's all rather biased- demons hate us for a reason and we hate them for the same reason." (Baron Hills) laughs telling me the tale.

That both humans and demons think highly of each other that we ended up hating on one another. Kind of cliché- the normal plot line whenever there were demons and humans into play.

"Do you ever think that humans and demons would be able to get along?" I asked, feeling a bit curious. I know in some stories on earth, people gave plots like these with a happy ending.

"Oh some have tried... but each pride of the rulers weighed more than peace." Father tells me faintly frowning, looking like he's remembering some of his memories when he was younger telling them to me. "War is not light on the many, the young ones dream of exploit and adventure plundering on war- wishing for achievements like killing the demon lord."

"I admire their foolishness and dreams to be something. I was like that when I was young, but the more I saw the end of battles and how many brothers I have lost... I just wished that war was over, thankfully it did."

"Heroes- have been summoned, claiming the demon lord's head. From another world, their country of Japan if I remember correctly." (Baron Hills) tells me and my eyes widened slightly in surprise.

Another person from the same world, now I'm just wondering if we belonged at the same time. I couldn't help but get hooked into Father's story wanting to know more. "I was just a mere scout those days... but the one I most admire was the one that stayed in our world while the others went home."

"I heard he lived in [Sprivanto] for a long while but I'm not sure if he's still around." (Baron Hills) smiles finishing the story and now I couldn't help but wonder too. I want to meet this hero but-

"How long has it been during that time, father?"

"About forty years ago, he should be about sixty by now but well I'm sure he's alive and still telling his tales around." (Baron Hills) stares at the window outside and sees the night coming. I still can't believe how long that's been.

"We might miss dinner, I'm sure the servants are already fixing the table we should go." He shakes Vivienne gently by his lap, waking her up.

"Ungu... Noe..." (Vivienne) swats his hand gently not wanting to wake up. She rolls a little and grips father's pants.

"Kein... look how cute she is! Not letting go of grandfather!"

At least he's happy about it. I'm not sure if I even have the strength to destroy his happiness by moving Vivienne out of his lap but I also didn't want another hour just sitting down here while having many servants wait for our prepared meal.

I... don't like food being wasted.

Well if that's the case, I decided that I'll be taking Vivienne to another private room where she can stay there for a while and sleep. I don't think sleeping in my room would be wise, since it hasn't been cleaned. "I'll be going ahead with Vivienne first father, please get to the table first. I'll be tucking her in a different room, my bed- hasn't been cleaned and-"

"Erm yeah we'll talk further there." I tell him and he shrugs, his face turning serious and no longer looking like a kind grandfather who spoils his granddaughter.
