Chapter 52 - Chapter 50: Reys family birthday party

The next day, a elegant looking carriage was outside Free's garden, a butler in a long coat came, he gave a bow to Free and Sylvia who were wearing expensive leather clothes, not the party's one though.

''Lord Free, Lady Sylvia, I'll take you to the Reys family mansion'' the butler said with a straight voice, Free gave a polite nod while Sylvia nodded while trembling and fumbling. ''My name is Sean, pleasure to meet you'' he introduced, Free gave another polite bow.

''Let's go'' he said, his ten rings let out a crink sound, Free turned to them and he takes them out one by one and put them in a box, he then put them under the seat of the carriage. He turns to Hina, Hinata, Lina, and Elina ''Elina, please don't let them feast on ramen all day okay'' Elina gave a nod, Free and Sylvia got into the carriage. Sean gave a bow to them and get in beside the driver, the carriage's wheel starts to move, Rael was under the house watching it all through the window, she had a grin on her face as always. As the carriage left the village she came out of the house.

''Let's have a party!!!" She yelled, Hina and Hinata cheered full of joy, they turned to Lina who was silent all this time.

''I..'' she paused, everyone gulped, she was about to say something diabolical. ''...Want to eat my full today'' she said, taking out a fan with feast' written on it. Everyone cheered and screamed at the top of their lungs, Elina too just raised her hand with a hesitant smile on her face.

''FEAST!! FEAST!FEAST!!!" Hinata and Hina yelled, running towards the ramen stalls, Lina gave a chuckle and ran too with Rael Elina was hesitant, Free's wore echoing in her mind, she slowly walk towards the ramen stall hoping he wouldn't scold her if he found out.

On the other hand, Free and Sylvia were in the carriage, Sylvia was nervously sitting on the soft seat of the carriage. Sean was outside with the driver, he was calm and sitting straight like a soldier, making her more and more anxious.

''I want to throw up'' she whispered her face turning pale, Free reassured her by holding her hand tightly, she turn her head to him.

''Sean, stop the carriage'' he said, Sean stopped the carriage and Sylvia threw up on a bush, he pat her back lightly, supporting her. Sean stared at them beside the driver.

'A good couple' he thought, as Free and Sylvia got in the carriage, the driver beside him just chuckled and the carriage starts to move again.

Inside Sylvia was wiping her mouth with a handkerchief, Free was still patting her back. 'She really can't handle stress' he thought, silently laughing at her, she tilt her head toward him and Free zipped his mouth and voice shut.

The journey was a day long, Sylvia was asleep in her seat, her head leaned on Free, who was looking at the sunset outside, passing through the woods, the sound of the carriage was now in a smooth surface, they were near the town as the scenery of the farmers land outside the prove of the town nearing just a little far.

''We've arrived'' Sean said, on atleast 500m away was a big gate, guarded by more than ten guards, they saw the carriage's crest and the head of the guards quickly order them to open the door to enter the town.

Free's eye open wide, Stalls everywhere and there was even mirror on some buildings, the Town was beautiful and somehow smelling stinky. He gave a dissapointed look at the towns beauty as the smell of too many meat, fruit and blacksmith's shop came all at once.

Everyone who saw the carriage approach step away from it's way respectfully, he stared at each of the citizens, some children waved at him and he waved back, Sylvia was deep in her sleep missing all the scene and warm welcome of the town, he didn't woke her up cause she will probably feel dizzy all night.

''Lord Free, we're going to be there soon'' Sean said, opening the small window behind the driver's seat, Free gave a nod, he take the ring out from the seat and put them in his arm.

After 20 minutes of the carriage moving continuously, they arrived in a very big mansion, the sun has already set the carriage went in, the garden was big very big, there were many servants cutting the trees into shape and a very big decoration was on another luxurious looking mansion, he stared at it with unfazed eyes.

'I've seen and made bigger than this....except the garden' he thought, staring at the big garden, just outside the door of the big mansion, Merlin was outside waiting for them, he waved his hand to Free and Free waved back.

''Chief Free, it's been a while'' he shake Free's hand and takes him inside the mansion, Free turned back to Sylvia and lift her up from her seat in bridal style.

''Where is the guest room?'' he asked, Merlin gave a amused expression and lead him to the guest room, Free was holding Sylvia in bridal style(She was heavy), he put her in bed and the servants put his luggage in the room and left with a polite bow.

''Now let's go to Lord Reys'' he said, leading Free across the hallway, Free glance around every corner of the mansion, his eyes landed on a tear like crest, same like the pendant Okoto gave him, he stared at the symbol intently, Marin noticed but he didn't said anything, he just lead Free to the door of the head of the Reys family. The door was big and it's handle was golden.

''Let's went in'' Merlin said, he open the door and Inside was a man with a red robe and black hair, he was signing a Mountain of paperwork, Free stared in shock, not at the man but at the paperwork and the way the man was doing, he was slow and he even had a stamp(A damn stamp), Merlin went in and bowed. ''Lord Utto von Reys, I have brung the guest''.

''So you're Free!" Utto said, he scanned Free body and then patted him on the back. ''Woah you're shorter than I thought!" He said, laughing and slapping Free's back.

''And you're slower than i thought'' Free responded, Utto tilt his head to him, flabbergasted. ''You can't finish that paperwork even after the sun has set!" He yelled, Utto was stunned, Merlin gave a laughed and put his hand on Utto's shoulder.

''Sorry lord Utto, Chief can do paperwork ten times your speed, he mostly spend his afternoon lazing around!" Merlin laughed at Utto, who was in shock. He scanned Free, and he then he too laughed loudly.

''You're better than me and–''

''Father, shut your ass!!!!" Someone yelled from outside his room, Free's head turned toward the voice, while Merlin and Utto started to tremble in fear, the voice was coming close to them, Free's rings were now glowing in caution.
