Re: The Villainess Does It With Class

"Hmm"

Ylmer nudged his twin brother lightly on his side.

"Hey, Yvan. Isn't that the woman who visited the mansion the other day?" He whispered, low enough so that Yvan could only hear it. Too bad, Lukas's senses are three times better than a normal person.

"Ssshh," Yvan hushed him.

After the two figures were out of sight, it's only when Lukas had finally resumed walking again.

The three of them got to the room in no time and were greeted by the others.

"Master!" Were their chorus.

Lukas only nodded at them and gestured to Elric with his eyes, as he continued to head inside one of the rooms. It was his private office and where he stays whenever he drops by.

Elric saw that look and immediately followed after them.

"Ohh, it's the Greywolf twins," Roy muttered while watching the two ashy-haired men, tailing behind Lukas.

"Greywolf twins?" Oli repeated in question.

Shun patted him on his shoulder, "Bro, they're legends. They work side by side with the guild master." 

"Ohh…" was Oli's reply.

He has not seen the twins nor the guild master until today, so he was shocked. Seeing him walking over the room, so tall and intimidating, that it left an impression on him.

Oli had clearly seen how heavy his aura was and got amazed. He didn't really see his whole face because it was covered with the cloak, but he could sincerely feel how strong he was.

'So that was the guild master…'

"I really wish to be with them for once." Shun was gushing like an excited kid.

"Dream on. The person who could only see or talk to them directly is Elric," Seis countered, crushing Shun's hopes.

"Heh. I did once though!" Roy announced with a proud look on his face.

"You have said that so many times already," Shun pointed out.

It was when the master had just gotten back to the Empire after a very long absence. The others weren't around because almost everyone has work to do. Hence, why he was able to serve him for a bit when he came before Elric came rushing in.

And after that, he just can't kept shutting his mouth from it and bragged about it whenever he could.

Inside the room, Lukas had sat on the chair behind the table as he removed his cloak from his head, and relaxed.

Both Yvan and Ylmer settled near him, standing right beside the wall, while Elric stood stiffly in front, meters away from Lukas.

Elric may look calm, but he was actually a little nervous. It has been a while since the guild master came to visit. And everytime he does, his aura just keeps getting heavier and heavier.

"Tell me about the woman just now," Lukas ordered.

Elric was taken aback but heeded straightaway.

"Ah yes. She came here to set an order. It's about getting someone's information. I didn't ask for their names because it's part of the rules but I can get someone to --"

"No need," Lukas cuts him off-- "Is that all?"

"Well, the woman she wants to know about is--"

"I don't care about that."

Elric was slightly trembling on his knees but masked it off. He doesn't understand what he was trying to say, plus Lukas's intense eyes had kept gazing at him for some time now.

"Errr… What does the master want to know?"

Lukas stared at him for a moment then cocked his head to the side.

"She looked like she's mad… isn't she?"

"About that… it was because of her order that the others were unsatisfied. Thus, they broke into a small argument," Elric explained then quickly added-- "It was already resolved though. She's quite feisty..."

"Hmmm," he then tapped his fingers on the table for a moment before glancing back at him- "If there's nothing else, you can go."

Elric bowed in respect.

"Yes, master."

He then retreated from the room and left the three of them inside.

"How did she know about our guild?" Yvan voiced out as soon as they were alone.

"It's probably from that guard she has with her," Ylmer reasoned. "What a small world…"

'Indeed…'

Lukas was leaning back on his chair, thinking to himself. Seeing her there was unexpected, and he suddenly got reminded of the meeting from days ago.

Yvan had informed him about a carriage heading out to their territory. He specifically told him that the insignia on it was from the Herman estate, which made his brows raised. 

'What are they planning on doing here?'

Lukas then set out and surveilled the carriage from the trees, hidden from their sights. He had seen it stopped just in front of the gates before she stepped out, and was curiously peering inside their mansion.

He was intrigued. 

Why was the woman he had just sought out yesterday, here? And how did she know about his place?

He continued watching atop the tree as she did her best on looking. 

He got amused from how she kept hesitating to step forward, and got curious at the same time. He wanted to know what brought her there, hence, why he came down to greet her.

Then Lukas thought to himself for a second, and decided to threaten her instead. Just because he feels like teasing her.

'She must have a reason for coming…'

Seeing her froze from fear made the cruel side of him happy, and so is his anima. As soon as he got behind her, it began to get chaotic. The reaction was even stronger up close than by just watching at the distance.

It made Lukas frown.

"Turn around and tell me who you are."

Was what he said. It was not needed, for he knew her already. But hey, he needs to act the part. She doesn't know about it anyway.

At first, she didn't and was stiffly standing still. She did turn when he retracted his sword, thus he could fully see her clearly now. Not that he hadn't before.

Those pale ruby eyes of her flew to his face and stared. It wasn't just a good old look either, it was a full on examination. 

He silently watched her as she slowly roamed her eyes all over his countenance. Lukas does not know whether to laugh at how obvious she was. 

"I came here to see the von Brandt's."
