Chapter 753 Don't run amok

Fabian's suggestion wasn't bad. Unlike Samael, who had deleted all political affairs when he moved to the mainland and became a normal family man, Rufus was different. Rufus had a strong sense of justice and knowing how hard working he was, he would've memorized most coats of arms from different empires and noble families that were noteworthy. After Fabian's suggestion, Lilou and Samael rushed to where Rufus was. Obviously, they found him in the backyard where he was training his sword with Law. They could've just summoned him, but the husband and wife didn't want to bother Rufus since they also need to break a sweat to keep their joints moving. "So?" Lilou looked at Rufus in anticipation. "Do you know where it came from?"

Rufus was holding the ring seal in between his thumb and? index. He rolled it around, tilting his head, staring at the coat of arms on it. When he raised his head, Lilou was looking at him wide-eyed. Samael's expression might look relaxed, but his eyes told Rufus he needed an answer. "Haimirich Empire," said Rufus, breathing out heavily. "I remember attending the World Summit and meeting the emperor. Anyone in power would know this coat of arms, since seeing their flags means war. The Emperor was a tyrant."

"You met him at the World Summit?" Rufus rocked his head. "He's one annoying guy, but he's cunning and dangerous. He didn't feel like a vampire, though," he explained, furrowing his brows. "Was the Emperor a part of Quentin's scheme?"

"No." Samael took the ring seal from Rufus. "That Emperor… what's his name?"

"His name…" Rufus twisted the wooden sword against the ground as he recalled the name. He wouldn't remember if the said emperor didn't leave an impression on Rufus. After all, that tyrant in the world summit had pressed Rufus' nerves a couple of times during their time at the world summit. "Eustass Silvestri Abel Bloodworth. That's his name," Rufus answered with certainty. "Abel…" Samael whispered while Lilou looked at him. "Is that Tilly's brother?" she inquired, making Rufus' brows furrow.

"Lady Tilly's brother?"

"Tilly had a brother named Abel. He could be that person. After all, he sent a letter with that seal on it," explained Lilou, keeping it short and clear for Rufus to understand.

"But his name…"

"He could've changed it," Samael mused, raising the seal up, and keeping his eyes on it. "What sort of person is he, Ru? Not what sort of ruler he is, but a person." freeweb novel.co m

Rufus drew his lips into a thin line, staring at Samael, who was appraising the ring seal. Lilou was standing beside Samael, staring back at Rufus. "He is… anything but average," was what instantly came out of Rufus's mouth. "I don't know him as a person, but based on the amount of time I interacted with him, there's only one thing I can tell about him."

Samael looked back at Rufus when the latter paused. "What is it?"

"If Fabian is to marry, he would propose to him."

"..." Lilou's face contorted at Rufus's last remarks. She had thought of many things Rufus would tell them, but that last one didn't cross her mind. Meanwhile, Samael arched a brow as he looked back at Rufus. "Fabian will like him?" he asked, watching Rufus nod. "When I was with him at the world summit, I remember telling myself I don't want to be in the same room as him again. It's the same with Fabian. I don't want to be in the same room as Fabian," explained Rufus, making whoever would hear him wonder if he was joking. However, knowing Rufus, he was being truthful. Rufus had the longest patience among them. For him to say such things to a person meant there was something in that person who Rufus felt uncomfortable with. Fabian, for instance, looked like a normal butler, but if one had gotten to know him, he could make others' hair raise in horror. "Was he really Lady Tilly's brother?" Rufus inquired, resting his palm on the end of the wooden sword. He glanced up and rocked his head. "If he changed his name, I think he's Lady Tilly's brother."

Samael arched a brow. "You think so?"

"Yes, my lord. They might have a difference in appearance and demeanor. Matter of fact, there were many things that don't connect them. However, if you meet him and Lady Tilly, you'll understand." Rufus bit his tongue as he looked at Samael. Actually, he didn't only base his assumption on Tilly and this tyrant of an emperor. Rufus also considered Samael, since Tilly and Samael might not look alike, but anyone could tell they were family. It was strange, but that would be everyone's initial assumption. "I see…" Samael rocked his head, snapping his eyes to a distance as Law returned with Fabian. His son went to have some snacks when they came; Fabian helped Law, while Lilou and Samael questioned Rufus. "Fabian." Samael tossed the ring seal in Fabian's direction when they were closer, which the latter caught on instinct. "Haimirich Empire. That is the coat of arms of the sovereign."

Fabian gazed at the ring seal for the second time today. "Fancy," he commented, keeping his classic smile as he raised his eyes to them.

"I will hasten and meet with our little miss."

"You know where Sunny is?" Law perked up at Fabian, and then at Samael and Lilou. His mother squatted down in front of him and smiled.

"Tilly's brother had sent a word. Sunny is safe," she said, but deep in her heart, she still had a lingering worry. After all, the content of the letter was too vague, and there was nowhere it says Sunny was there or her daughter was safe. But Lilou wanted to trust Tilly . The latter wouldn't give them false hope… she wished. "That's good." Lilou's heart softened when relief fastened in Law's eyes. "I'm glad Sunny is safe."

"Fabian, make sure to send us the letter once you meet with Sunny," Samael reminded solemnly, giving him this warning look as if he didn't want to receive another altered letter.

"Yes, my lord. I won't disappoint this time." Fabian bowed, keeping his polite smile. With that being said, Lilou, Law, and Samael went back inside while Rufus and Fabian were left in the backyard. The Barrett brothers stared at the family of three silently until they were out of sight. "Take care," said Rufus to Fabian, snapping his eyes ever so slowly at his brother. "I heard a lot of things about that empire. Don't run amok there."
