The Siblings

"Your young master?" Marcel furrowed his brows. Had trouble come to them so quickly?

Before he could reply, Delirious stepped forward.

"Who do your young master think he is? Does he think he can simply ask us to go to see him while we just arrive in this city for only 10 minutes for christ sake!? Sounds very sus to me."

The elegant middle-aged man frowned. He examined Delirious briefly before putting on an expression of wariness.

According to his senses, this man with the mask was just a Rank 2 practitioner. However, he felt something was not right about the man.

"Can I ask for your name, young man?" The middle-aged man asked.

"Fuck off, we don't have time to see some nobles to see." Delirious answered with a spat.

The frown in the middle-aged man's face deepened. For an instant, he did not know if to advance or to retreat.

Fortunately, Marcel rescued him.

"Stop it, Delirious. We will go."

Looking at the middle aged man, he was still frowning.

"We are new here. It's a good idea to talk with a local."

Delirious signed on Marcel's fake politeness and retreated behind him before he said.

"Please guide us.'

The middle-aged man looked deeply to Marcel before nodding.

The two then guided towards a very large carriage a few tens of meters away, the carriage was very large as a school bus that could even fit Xavier inside. Inside the carriage, a young man and a young lady were seated. Both of them had beautiful features and carried a noble-like aura.

But when the two observed them carefully, the first one who realized first was Basically about something else..

Both of them shared similar features.

Silver hair, yellow eyes, and translucent pale skin.

The young man seemed a bit older than the young girl, around 18 years old. As for the young girl, probably around 16 or 17.

'Siblings?'

Both of them deduced their relationship in their heads. It seemed the pair were the young master and young miss of some noble house.

But after the two finished observing the siblings, Marcel first noticed something amiss.

Suddenly, he realized someone was standing behind the girl.

It was a servant-like young woman with silver hair and pale skin but not as pale as the siblings. She had her eyes closed and her back was resting against the back of the carriage.

When the woman felt Basically's gaze, she opened her eyes and looked at him in surprise.

Marcel was taken aback a bit. For some reason, at first he couldn't feel the woman's presence at the back but somehow after a few seconds he was able to feel her.

Even now, after he confirmed her existence, he had the feeling he could lose her if he blinked his eyes for once.

Of them, only hin had managed to detect the girl since the start. Delirious seemed as if he had not realized anything even now.

'Holy shit, this is terrifying.' 

Marcel felt cold sweat in his back. If he would have been alone, and the woman attacked him, he would have been unable to react.

The middle-aged man went to the carriage and whispered something in the young man's ear. The young man put on an expression of surprise and looked at them with interest.

"I apologize for my butler's rudeness. Nice to meet you, I'm Herald Arcavdol, the current heir of the Arcavdol house. This is my sister, Karen."

The man named Harold pointed towards his sister, Karen who had her eyes fixed on something she was very interested in: The Iron Golem behind the two, and the one she has the most interest in located on Delirious' hips....

...the Teddy Bear.

But when her brother called her name, she raised her head to greet them.

However, once she saw Basically, she froze. One second later, her face turned slightly red.

Marcel noticed it and couldn't help but feel sweat bullets. But on the outside, he just simply nodded as a greeting. 

"My name is Basically. And this mask freak is Delirious, my friend." He said while signaling Delirious who gave off a glare when Marcel said 'Mask Freak'.

Hearing the man's words, Herald showed an interesting expression. 

"Basically? Such a unique name. Same with Delirious. Names like yours and your friend are very rare in this part of the world."

"Well, we come from way far far away." Delirious this time, spoke.

Herald nodded in understanding and asked, "So it's like this. Is it your first day in Kalren?"

"Oh yes, we arrived just now. We were going to search for an inn when your butler interrupted us." Marcel replied, giving a glare at the Butler besides the siblings.

"Sorry if he offended you." Herald apologized again. "Mr. Basically, I will go straight to the point. My sister is interested in your Golem and that little teddy bear on your friend. Are you selling it?

Instantly, Delirious reacted with a pissed off look on his face while Basically's eyes narrowed. 

"How unexpected. I didn't think this City's Lord's son would be interested in our shit." Delirious said with a menacing aura was about to produce around him.

"Oh? You know about my identity?" Herald was slightly surprised, but Delirious just smiled through his mask but his eyes ain't.

"It is quite obvious when compared to the people in this whole city, you guys are the only ones who are the most luxurious in here. It is quite obvious. Even a blind man could tell."

Then, silence engulfed the room for a moment.

For a brief silence, Herald chuckled. 

"You are right. It looks like you are quite smart. Then, are you interested in selling them?"

This time, Delirious slammed the table in front of them without hesitation, startling everyone in the room, except for Xavier, while the woman in the background took out her knives and was about to engage.

"I'm sorry, Mr. Herald Arcav-douche, let me tell you with these words... No. Way. In. Hell. Am not FUCKING selling them!"

A sharp glint appeared on Herald's face. He looked deeply at Delirious' exasperated eyes before chuckling. 

"Okay, I understand. Sorry for bothering you boys."

The girl beside Herald was startled. She looked at her brother and seemed as though she wanted to say something, but a glare of Herald rendered her silent.

Basically, on the other hand, just shook his head indifferently. 

"Don't worry about it, young master, and I apologize for my friend's action. If you don't want anything else, we will be leaving. We need to find a place to stay as soon as possible, after all."

"I recommend you to go to the exchange center." Herald suggested. "You probably will find what you need there.

"Thank you. If I have the opportunity, I'll invite you to something later. My treat."

"I'll be waiting for the opportunity."

With a smile, the two young men bid farewell and the two friends left.

As the two leave the school bus size carriage, Marcel's smile instantly vanishes, replacing to a frown, he glance at Delirious who does the sme, the two look at each other for a moment before nodding.

No way in hell they trust those two siblings. And the way Basically talks and acts, he was only acting.

They won't trust anybody in this new world yet.

When Basically and Delirious were finally out of sight, the girl looked at her brother with an expression of anger.

"Brother, what happened!? I wanted the Golem and THAT Teddy bear!" The girl annoyingly yelled.

"Silly girl." Herald shook his head. "How can you not realize these people are not simple? Did you not realize that none of them seemed respectful of us even after learning of our identities?"

"Huh?"

"Based on their actions, expressions, and their eyes, I suspect the two of them have a significant background. There is no need to offend an unknown power just for a Golem and one stuffed toy."

The girl looked at her brother and pouted. 

"But I wanted that teddy! It was so cute, and weird, but still adorable! I want it NOW!"

The butler near the two sighed at that moment. 

"Young master is right. I observed their demeanor carefully, and each one of them carried themselves with confidence and I slightly felt they have things we shouldn't be underestimated. Moreover, the guy with this strange mask, I felt a hint of dark energy emitted from him. It didn't feel like Demonic nor just negative magic energy, it felt different compared to the two."

Herald nodded thoughtfully. He then looked at the young woman behind him and asked.

"Stella, what do you think about them?"

The young woman fell silent. She thought for a moment before giving an answer.

"The young man, with the weird blue Land Dragon Costume… he discovered me."

"""Huh?"""

This time, the other three were completely surprised.

"Are you sure?" Harold asked, "Your {Perfect Unknowable} spell could completely erase all of your traces, even the tiniest trace of sound you make, it is almost impossible for you to get caught that easily, just how?"

"I am not sure for myself. In fact, the two of them were all Rank 2. However, judging by the killing intent around them, they are rather experienced, but somehow inexperienced at the same time."

"Experience and inexperienced at the same time? A strange way to say it like that." Karen nodded. "Not to mention that young man with the black skin. Thinking about him, the young man was very handsome, I'll say."

"Sigh, Karen, do you always think about things like that?" Harold gave out a sigh and glanced at his sister in the corner of his eyes.

"And? It's not like I'm going to marry him or something. I just think he is handsome."

Herald shook his head in amusement. He then turned towards the butler and put on a serious expression.

"Investigate their background. I want to know everything about them as soon as possible."

"Yes, young master."
