The Author Is Speechless-Chapter 14: Preparation .

As soon as they saw Viktor smirking like an evil, they both ran outside the room.

"Where are you going!!!"

Viktor screamed right behind Alberto when he had no idea he was right behind him.

"AAAAAAA!!!! " he cried while he was running for his life!!.

"Oii, wait you damn cockroach!! I am not going to fight with you anymore!! "

He grabbed him and picked him up.

"Where's the other one!"

Viktor looked around but Rae was nowhere to be found.

"He ran towards the garden!!"

"Forget about him. I was going to ask you something. So listen to me carefully. Let's go back."

"Ok"

Viktor went to his room caring Alberto like a bag of potatoes in his arms.

"Sir down"

"Yes"

Alberto sat on the floor while Viktor was standing.

"Challenge your two elder brothers and reclaim the honour as the next duke candidate ." Viktor smiled.

"What?" Alberto to surprised to hear him saying that.

"Challenge your brothers. I want you to become the next duke." Viktor said with a prideful expression.

"Can I do it? You told me not to show it to anyone."

"Because you weren't ready yet back then. Now you are ready. You're already 13 now. And it's about my time to leave this place for school."

"Yes, I know you're going to the academy. But time is going away too fast ."Alberto said.

"Yes, but don't worry. I will visit you when you graduated from there. "

"Ok, then I will challenge my brother."

"That's a good boy. I will tell you a story if you win."

That afternoon, Alberto made a mess all over the mansion.

He challenge his two elder brothers of him but they made fun. So he beat them up.

Duke ran into the room and shouted,

"What are you doing you little punk!!!"

"Oh, you finally heard me. I was wondering if I was invisible in this house. Looks like I am not. "

"What's with that attitude? " Duke asked.

"I heard you cancelled me as a candidate of this house. So I challenge my brother to a duel to see if I am worthy or not. "

"Haha!! Hahahahah!!! You? With that aura less body? You can't even cut a nail of his. What are you doing to do ha? " the duke mocked him.

"What If I win?"

"I will give you the sword of holiness. Hahahahaah. I want to see you punk beaten into a pulp. "

He smirked and said,

"After a week at 9. Be there with your worthless face. I will call every servant and maid. Also your grandfather. I will show them how worthless you are."

The duke left with his middle child.

"This will make my place more secured, he can't take down his word once he declared it in front of many people."

He hushed.

...

-It's already half moon. And the mega meteor shower will come soon.

I can't wait to see it.

Rae looked at Viktor. His silver eyes and hair were reflecting the dim light of the moon but still, it was shiny. He was writing a book in some language that he had never seen before.

"What are you writing?"

Viktor was too locked in his book that he didn't hear him talking.

'He is really not listening '

He mumbled.

"Hey, I am going outside for a bit."

"Hmm"

-Hm? He was listening?

"Don't go outside the wall, it's too dangerous at night. Monsters are walking around this area right now."

Viktor said.

"Tsk, you were listening to me.?"

"Yes, I was. But as you can see that I am busy right?"

"Yes, I will come back soon. "

Rae left the room with his jacket.

"That noisy bug is finally gone. I can pay attention to this thing."

-The book I am writing is about all the side stories that don't have any connection to the main story. But they are valuable. So, I am planning to secure every single of them one by one.

He put his book inside his left crest and looked at his time counted by a magical spell.

A small orb-like ball was floating in front of him. It was ticking like a clock. The time shown by the clock was 1:45 AM.

"It's almost morning. I should get some sleep. Alberto will have his duel with his brothers soon. So, I need to prepare to leave this place. I can't stay here any longer. Or my mind will make this small room my comfort zone."

-He went inside his blanket and turned off the light magic which was floating all over the room like fireflies.

Rae's POV:

-I came outside, but.

"There are too many monsters around me"

Rae turned into his fairy form and hid behind a small leaf of a big tree.

-I can't believe a mighty guardian like me is hiding from a smallfry monster. How disgraceful!

There was a group of wolf-looking monsters walking around. And poor Rae was on the tree barely hiding his presence.

-Why did I come out? I can't even call Viktor to save me. I am so sleepy too and hungry!! No, I can't call him. It will cut a wound on my dignity! My pride!!

"What are you doing-_-?"

Viktor came out of nowhere from behind him.

"Aaaaaahhh!!!!!!"

Rae's soul nearly left his body...

"What are you doing here!! How did you find me!!"

"You're so noisy that I can't even sleep."

"What noisy! I was here all the time looking at those monsters "

"Or hiding from them-_-?"

"Ahaha!! Haha! No!! I was just looking. Moreover, how did you find me?"

"You're hungry and scared. I can feel your emotions on your crest on my forehead."

He pointed his finger at his forehead. It was glowing.

"So I've turned into a familier of a human ?"

"No, we're going home and sleep. I am too tired of these. "

Viktor took Rae into his arm and flew back to his room using dark eclipse blessing.

-I can't even get a goodnight's sleep...
