Chapter 5: (5)
Before any of the soldiers could try and take anything from the corpses they caught aflame burning in blue flames transforming everything they had into ash.
After that we made recount of everyone and surprisingly only the two initial servants were the only ones dead.
Finally done with everything we rested and continued with the journey ahead until the wall of the Imperial City appeared in the distance. And I must say, I saved little Kellera, shouldn't I get to go in the carriage if just a little?
Ungrateful Elder that one is.
Finally getting through the city gate I felt my shoulders relax. I kept feeling on edge since my trait [Scaner] only works within a radius of 100 meters. If the ones a who attacked us decided to do it again but from a distance we would be fucked because I couldn't warn them without letting them know that as a mortal I could detect what the others couldn't, except the Elder, him with Divine Sense must cover more ground than me.
Anyway, now that we're finally inside the city I can finally let go of all the tension I had been accumulating.
Following the carriage we continued on to the east of the city until we came before the Silverwings Clan Entrance.
The five meter tall double doors inlaid with silver slowly opened telling us to enter. And that's what we did.
Once inside they separated us and sent the us servants to servant sevtion of the compound, except me.
While the rest went away I was made to stay back along with the Elder, Kellera and Victoria.
Turning to the stone pathway in fron of us the Elder guided us towards the main building of the clan. Stepping through the double doors of the main building, he continued to guide us but instead of getting to the central chamber where the Elders and the Patriarc/Matriarc had reunions.
We continued until we got to the outside of a room very deep into the main building.
"Enter."
A mature and beautiful feminine voice said from beyond the door. With that, the Elder bowed and signaled us to enter.
I pointed towards myself and the Elder nodded, making me take a deep breath in and out to calm my nerves.
Walking inside, the room was, against all my expectations, pretty small for what I asumed was the clans leader personal chambers. To my left there was a bed with phoenix decorated wood along with a pure white matress and pillow.
To the left of the bed there was a big wardrobe, and to the right of the bed there was a table with a big mirror mounted on it along with what seemed to be skincare products on the table.
Sitting before it was the most beautiful mature woman that I've ever seen.
Just like Victoria and Kellera, she had silver hair, along with a very luxorious looking robe with red penetrating eyes looking directly at me and an small beauty mark under her right eye.
Her eyes were exuding a cold stare like no other, but the moment the mature woman laid eyes on Victoria and Kellera the coldness disappeared and got replaced with warmth.
"My dearies."
Saying she stood up and Kellera threw herself towards this womans, gulp, personalities. Very big personalities. Bigger than Victorias and that's saying a lot. She didn't seem to lose on the backyard department either.
"Mom!"
Kellera happily shouted while hugging the mature woman.
Ahh, that explains a lot.
Victoria bowed her head little.
"Mother."
"Hhmm, what's this, you spend a little time outside the clan and you already forget how to show love to your mother?"
That made Victoria blush.
"M-mother!"
"Come'n here and give me a hug."
A very embarrased Victoria had no option but to obey. Going near her mother she bowed down a little and got wrapped in a hug along her sister, making her go even redder.
And then there was me, who was standing awkardly at the side waiting for them to finish their family reunion.
After a few seconds of uncomfortable silence, at least for me, they let go of each other and faced me completely.
And the mothers cold stare returned to her face. Peachy.
"So, you're the one who saved my little Kellera."
"That, would be correct, yes ma'am."
"Hhmm, good, step forward."
Stifly walking towards her I stood before her.
"Please, if you could bow a little?"
Lets do something better than that. Going down on one knee I looked up at her.
Our eyes coinciden for a moment and then I looked lower at her neck.
"Look me in the eye, little boy."
Listening to her I looked her in the eye.
"For saving my daughter, defending them and saving the servants while killing the ones responsible, I Morticia Silverwing, hereby ascend you to personal guard of my daughter Kellera."
"..."
"..."
"..."
"Huh?"
...
Right now I'm resting at my temporary quarters of the Silverwing Clan.
Thinking about it I looked at the notifications that appeared the moment that I entered here.

Whistle~
This is coming up really good.
Now I have a way to defend myself.
Looking at the [Esper] trait I felt its effect inmediately. Abilitys that previously I didn't know how to better use started to look so simple, and not only that, but I felt little conections between abilitys. I'll try them later, for now, lets go to sleep, I deserve a little bit of sleep.
Good night, me.
...
Waking up rested I stretched while getting out of bed. Looking at the room as whole I saw something that wasn't there.
On the chair from the desk right next to the left wall, to the right of the wardrobe which was in fron of the bed. Getting near the chair I took the clothes that weren't there.
Well, lets use an ability that I've yet to put to use. Slotting in [Structural Analysis] I touched the cloth.
A mana pulse traveled through the clothes and then came back into me creating a mental blueprint of the clothes, the materials it was made of and the enchantments.
Quite interesting, so that's how you make the repair enchantment. Usefull, I must say.
Getting my servant clothes off I went to the conected bath and soaked myself in warm water for the first time since I arrived into this body.
Getting out I made sure to dry myself off with the towels and put my new clothes on. (https://pin.it/2nBr2mpLM, with normal sleeves and necklength hair)
Looking at the full body mirror I, for the first time, saw my face clearly. It had sharp features along with violet eyes coupled with scarlet colored hair.
Damn, I'm a treat.
Finally finished with checking myself out I got out of my personal quarters only to come face to face with Victoria.
"Miss Victoria, to what do I owe the honor?"
Victoria scrunged up her brow.
"I'm having a feeling of dejavù."
"Really now?"
"Hhmm, forget about it, I've come to tell you just a few key things."
She said getting near me where our noses where nearly touching.
"If you try anything funny with my sister while either me or mother aren't present, we'll make sure to find out about it, and we'll make you suffer. Is that clear?"
She said while leaning in further making me bend my back backwards to keep distance.
"Crystal clear."
"Good."
And with that she turned around and disappeared before I could say anything else.
Wonderful talk.
...
Now I know what it's like to be in hell. Having to accompany Kellera in a shopping spree is killing my arms, legs and back.
Seriously, what more clothes do you need when you have enough of them already to fill a whole room.
"Not to meddle or anything Miss Kellera, but you wouldn't happen to have an storage ring?"
"That's right, why?"
"Shouldn't it be better to use that instead of carrying them?"
Aka, me being the only one carrying anything.
"Hm, yes, I do wonder."
She said while giving me a little smug side-smile. Seriously, do you really need to be this vindictive?
Well that does it. Slotting in [Obitos Mangekyo Sharingan Left] I felt my left eye change subtly.
Activating it my iris became red while three tomoes appeared within the iris surrounding the pupil in a triangular formation, making appereance the sharingan.
Going further the tomoes enlarged until fusioning with the pupil, while the tips bent and elongated until they touched the tomoe behind them.
Activating the eye the clothes disappeared into an spatial spiral coming from my eye.
"You're right lady Kellera, I don't need it."
"Hmph, see, I told you, it was but light work for you."
"Light it is indeed. The clothes feel as if they weren't there."
Seeing her starting to turn I deactivated the mangekyo.
Turning fully she was about to say something when her eyes went wide from seeing only me, and not the clothes.
Heh.
"W-where are my clothes?!"
She looked pretty pissed.
"Not to worry my lady. I used my own spatial storage to put away the clothes in a safe space."
"Say that before giving me a heart attack!"
She screamed at me while showing her teeth. Damn, those are some sharp looking natural fangs. I must say she looked really cute while mad, like a mad kitten.
"Huuuh, to think my lady would be such cruel mistress making her own bodyguard suffer, huuuh."
I said while mock-crying. That made her pale, specially when being surrounded by people.
People were already looking at us, so before Kellera could hear the first sign of gossip she took my by my wrist and pulled me along until we got into an alleyway away from prying eyes.
"Hhmm, to think lady Kellera was such a pervert."
"HUH, WHAT DO YOU MEAN BY THAT?!"
"Well of course, why else would you get us into a secluded alleyway but to do naughty things with my body?"
That seemed to make her crash, because I could actually hear her Windows resetting. Finally she seemed to react because her whole face became completely red whild steam started to come out from the top of her head. Adorable.
"T-that's not t-true."
I think that what I said affected her very much because she whispered that while holding the edge of her skirt and with a few tears at the corners of her eyes.
I think I fucked up.
"W-wait, wait, wait, don't cry, it's all my fault, I'm the pervert here, not you. I-I'll never joke with this ever again."
She looked up to me while sniffing a little.
"You promise?"
She asked with teary eyes.
"Sigh, I promise."
With that I saw her bow her head down and start saking.
"H-hey, I said that I promised, why're you still crying?!"
I said nervously when I felt something off.
"Wait, you're not crying are you?"
With that she finally looked at me while holding back a laugh.
"Buahahahahaha, 'I-I'll never joke with this ever again', hahahahahaha, you shoul've seen your face."
She laughed while pointing at me.
This miserable brat.
"You little..."
I started to grit my teeth when I felt a very bad feeling. Suddenly a sudden light came from under us, enveloping us completely. Colsing my eyes I took Kellera by the arm and brought her closer enveloping her with my arms.
Waiting for a few seconds nothing happened. Opening my eyes again I noticed that we weren't in the alleyway anymore.
Looking around I noticed that we were on a clearing of at most a fifty meter radius, surrounden on all sides by trees it seemed.
Looking up I saw a few mountain peaks, making me understand that we might be in a valley.
"H-hey, let go of m-me."
Looking down I saw Kellera looking up at me with a pout and a red face.
"Ah, sorry."
Letting go of her she started to straighten her dress when she looked around. That got her nervous.
"W-where are we?"
"I'm afraid that I don't know."
"Allow me to shed a little light on your predicament."
