Confrontation

"Young master, you have a visitor. I've already led them here because the masters are currently away at the time being," the butler informed him.

Cygnus stopped reading and looked up. He then slowly stood up to get near them and the smile on his face appeared when he saw who the visitors were. Their clothes already gave them away. Cygnus then dismissed the butler.

"What can I do for you?" Cygnus used a cautious tone to ask them why they were there even though he already knew the reason for that.

"First of all, let me introduce myself. I am Celes, a mage that the tower sent to specifically talk to you," he stated which made his apprentice look at her.

"Aren't you here for my father?" This time he looked confused. He looked unsure of why they were there to talk to him.

"Not really, we are here for you." Celes went straight to the point as he shed all his pretentious mask.
