Chapter 130

Zack was in bed snuggled up with Lilith, and Ren. He began sweating profusely and turning frantically. Zack woke up sitting up in bed while struggling to catch his breath.

'Those eyes again. Who was that today?'

Zack looked around seeing everyone asleep and tried to lay back down. After a half-hour of tossing, and turning he decided to just get up to avoid waking the others. As he got dressed he quietly opened the door and left. While descending the steps Olivia appeared.

"Did you need something master?"

"Just couldn't sleep. Gonna go for a walk if you wanna join me." Zack smiled.

"That sounds lovely, but it's when I get the most done. Unless you require service."

Zack had some fun earlier in the night but was still tempted. With the others sleeping in the room he had to refuse. It wasn't uncommon for the children to roam the halls.

"Maybe next time then. If you require anything I'll be roaming the estate." Olivia smiled before bowing respectfully.

Zack pulled her close as Olivia looked up at him thinking he changed his mind. He kissed her on the forehead and caressed her cheek affectionately.

"Thank you for your service, and I hope you know it's greatly appreciated. You can still choose another profession whenever you desire, but if you decide to stay in this line of work you will be having days off okay?" Zack smiled.

Olivia was filled with joy at her new charge. She only worked for him for a few days, but already considered him her favorite master. She was able to work in such a marvelous estate with friendly people around every corner.

It was also the first time Olivia serviced someone with a gentle touch. Ozen never laid a hand on her, but the king she served before was very rough. Living in Eden was more lively, and she looked forward to serving Zack.

While Zack was patrolling the grounds Rolen was working hard in the forge. When he finished Asad's arm he started a special project. After studying his hammer closely he began copying the intricate spell work, but it was no easy task. If he didn't possess the engraving tools and Zack's library for references it would've been impossible.

With the spellwork done Rolen fastened it to a handle, and walked over to the forge. He lifted it up as sweat began to build, and drip down towards his eyes. He spent so much time working on it he feared failure. At first, he was making it to increase productivity in the forge after a few lizardmen showed interest in forge work.

After his date with Thea, Rolen decided the first one was better suited as a gift for her. Rolen had offered to buy her a gift, but she showed no interest in jewelry. With it being a present he was more anxious than ever for it to work.

Rolen retrieved the billet from the forge and struck it firmly as it slowly began to shift. He continued to hammer away working until the shape of a pauldron began to take form.

'The effects appear slower than the original, but it's a success.'

Rolen was filled with excitement holding the hammer preciously. He wasn't aware of how great of an accomplishment this was yet. The artifacts Rolen was using were forged by a master before the dark ages rearranged the lands.

Once the world was rebuilt he created the elven ruins explored today. They were intended to be safe havens for the elves after the first purge occurred, but after the second dark age, they were buried beneath the earth forgotten.

To recreate one of the tools even with a reduced effect put Rolen among an elite group of people. The only other artisan to accomplish this was Elaine, and with that knowledge, she created the foundations of Eden. Rolen smiled as he walked over to his workbench, and started carving away at some redwood.

'I should make something nice to put it in.'

While Zack was roaming the grounds he noticed how lively the town has become. All the vampires that passed him would greet him politely. While he stopped to introduce himself Haruna was watching silently from the rooftops.

Haruna had already gotten the three hours she required to function. Out of boredom, she has silently observed the habits, and routes of the people inside the city. It was an occupational habit to study such things when finding a new city. Seeing Zack awake, and now staying put she sat down watching him closely.

'Why is ojiisan leaving me here. No matter how I look at it choosing me is irrational. Even for a show of solidarity, a member of the branch family would be sufficient. How long will I be stuck here?'

Haruna sighed watching Zack continue down the road. With nothing else to do she decided to continue observing him. He was walking towards the aquatic district, and after searching around for Mero without results Zack sat at the edge of the water.

'Should I just lay back down?'

Zack was staring at the water in thought as he sensed something approaching rapidly from the depths. Looking down he could see Fuuka approaching from their home. She popped out of the water sitting next to Zack with a smile.

"Where's Shiro, and the others?" Zack asked.

"The little one is sleeping at a friend's, and the rest went for the bath," Fuuka replied while glancing around.

"It's good to see she's getting along with the others." Zack smiled.

"Where is everyone?" She asked looking for one of his companions.

"In bed, but I couldn't sleep. I didnt wanna wake them so I've been wandering the grounds. You've been rather calm lately. Is it cause of the new people around?" Zack replied.

"No, it's cause you always stop me anyway." Fuuka sighed while crossing her arms.

"You just typically have bad timing, but if I wanted to kill some time how would you feel about that?" Zack teased.

Fuuka heard this, and her eyes lit up. She immediately pressed up against him reaching for his dick.

"Not here though," Zack said sinking into the water.

Fuuka was filled with excitement pulling him towards their house. Haruna saw him heading off with lecherous intentions not understanding such desires. With Zack out of sight, she went back to observing the guards. Once the two were inside they swiftly undressed as he carried her to the bed. Zack began groping her chest with one hand and squeezing Fuuka's ass with the other.
