Magic's Return: I Can See The Spirits-Chapter 63 Y-You Are Threatening Me!

"Destroy this house, spread her postures all over the Vesta City, say she assaulted the Young Master of the Vesta Family and was disrespectful to him.

I want this done by tonight, is that clear?"

Vaan ordered as he started walking towards the exit.

"As you command, Young Master Vaan." Aldric bowed his head.

Lily, on the other hand, widened her eyes in horror, "W-What are you trying to do!?"

"Huh? What do you mean? You are the one who wants to be a bitch and take the hard part, isn't it? Well then walk on this path till you are sick of it."

"Y-You are threatening me!" Lily shouted.

"What? Are people of this world dumb or something? Was it not clear from the start? Of course, I am threatening you bitch.

All right fuck it, I'll just be clear then,

If you want to live, join me.

I can't kill you because my family values its reputation, and the Young Master of the Family killing someone out of pettiness would harm the Vesta Family's reputation, or at least that's the crap Sera must have fed you.

But you have to know, Maid.

Life isn't black and white.

Yes, I can't kill you, 'officially' that is."

Lily's expression changed as she glanced at Vaan.

"But what if you die in an accident? A thief was stealing your stuff, you tried to defend and the thief killed you in desperation, you witnessed a crime and the criminal silenced you to remove evidence,

There are countless ways you can die, Maid.

Ways that would never incriminate Young Master Vaan of the Vesta Family."

"Y-You w-would never be able to e-escape if they decide to investigate…"

"That is 'if' they decide to investigate. You think people would care about a mere maid, not to mention a dead one." Vaan's smile widened.

"…" Lily turned silent as her body trembled.

Even a fool could understand what Vaan was talking about…

She wasn't just going to have a 'difficult time surviving', if she went against Vaan's words, she would be killed!

"So if you don't want all that to happen, then take those two bags of yours and come with me. Is that clear?"

Vaan questioned in a rough tone and the trembling Lily nodded.

"Good." Vaan smiled.

"Aldric, bring her to the Vesta Family."

"As you command, Young Master."

Aldric bowed, Vaan nodded and just as he was about to leave Lily's house, he paused and turned back again,

"Right, I forgot to mention," he looked into Lily's eyes and, "I forgave you for disrespecting me today, but it won't happen in the future, is that clear? You should treat me better than how you treated that bitch, be loyal to me, be of use to me and I will provide you the safest and the most comfortable life possible, you might hate me right now, but it won't be long before you would realize how lucky you are."

"Y-Yes." Lily nodded.

Vaan nodded back and left the house.

He wasn't planning to stay in this place for long, it was too hot. He would rather sit in the Carriage that had a cooling system that was no different from ACs in his previous life.

Honestly, this world may look like it is in the medieval era, but when it came to comfort, some things were better than what he had back on earth.

"…"

"…"

Once he left, Aldric and Lily were the only ones left in the room, Lily's body was still trembling, and she was in no condition to talk, therefore, Aldric didn't say anything and just started picking her bags.

"You are not on Lady Seraphina's side anymore…" Suddenly, Lily muttered.

Aldric paused for a while, then, however, continued to do what he was doing and, "Only a fool would choose Lady Seraphina over Young Master Vaan."

"Lady Seraphina is not simple-"

"And you think Young Master Vaan is?"

Aldric then glanced at Lily and,

"Who do you think is more fearsome,

A woman whom everyone knew was smart, intelligent, and shouldn't be messed with,

Or a man who everyone thought was a fool but he had hidden his true face for more than 20 years?"

Aldric replied and Lily turned silent.

Seeing that she was willing to think it through, Aldric decided to help his future subordinate,

"Switch sides, Lily. You were already kicked away by Lady Seraphina."

"That was because she had no choice. Vaan would do the same if he was in that situation. He is not different, no, he is even worse. At least Lady Seraphina still tried to talk, he would simply agree and thr-"

"And who do you think would have the power to put Young Master Vaan in that situation?" Aldric interrupted.

"How many people do you think there are in this world who can put the Young Master of the Vesta Family in a situation he doesn't wish to be in? 𝘣𝘦𝑑𝑛𝘰𝑣𝘦𝘭.𝘰𝘳𝑔

That's why I said only a fool would choose Lady Seraphina over Young Master Vaan. Lady Seraphina is weak, in her journey to possibly become strong, she would be forced to make a lot of sacrifices like this.

Young Master, on the other hand, has no such worries, even if he doesn't become the next head of the family, he is still destined to live an easy, better life.

Being loyal to someone who may sacrifice you to achieve her goal or someone who has the power to reign over all and live comfortably, the choice cannot be more obvious."

Aldric shrugged, then, he picked up Lily's bags, then he glanced at Lily and,

"Also, it is not Vaan, it is Young Master Vaan, as someone who has served Young Master Vaan, I suggest you respect him properly just like he told you to. Make a habit out of it, because if Young Master Vaan takes matters into his own hand,

It won't be pretty."

ραΠdαsΝοvel.cοm Spoke from true experience indeed.

Saying all that, Aldric left the room and loaded Lily's bags into the carriage.

Lily stood in silence, thinking about what Aldric just said.

"Oi, we don't have all day! Get your ass here!"

Vaan shouted from the carriage.

"Y-Yes."
