The Absolute Twin Magician

Bathory

After several hours of walking in the darkness of the forest, we finally reached the city wall. Because Kayn and I used Manna too much, we had to walk to get here. But this time the gatekeeper's a hindrance. If Liana and Elie weren't with us, maybe we'd have trouble getting in.

The atmosphere of the city is deserted. Naturally, it's eleven o'clock at night. Time for the townspeople to sleep. We rushed into the city, to Elie's house. Currently Liana's residence was shattered. The only place he could make a shelter was the residence of his best friend. Elie also agreed with that and immediately demanded us to his residence.

The road to the house is quite long. It takes over 10 minutes just to find the Bathor residence.

We stopped in front of the house. But before that, Kayn was fixated on the beauty of this Bathory residence. Yeah, Elie's a noble. The residence that is currently in front of us is a large mansion with a yard of two hectares more. It's like a palace. A fountain pool in front of the door of the house also complements the impression of the royal palace.

" Zayn... How much does the whole house cost?..." Ask Kayn. I was stunned by Elie's palace house.

" Where do I know... Just ask the owner, right?" My answer.

" You look surprised." said Liana. " Just seen Elie's house this time? "

Seeing Liana's usual reaction, I looked at her in surprise.

" You're used to it, Liana..." My speech. Liana laughed a little.

" Of course, I've been visiting her house a lot" Liana replied.

" ah... Right too.."

Liana smiled faintly, then turned to look at Elie who looked a little riled up. He hesitated to enter. Like thinking of something.

" Elie, you have to apologize to your mom and dad" he said. Elie sighed.

" Yes yes, I know..." The answer.

" After all, how can you go without permission anyway? Did Zayn teach you anything bad like this?" Ask Liana again, and it's a bit piercing for me.

" Oi, what am I doing that for? He did it to save you!" My reply.

" Even so, permission is important. Just imagine if you leave without permission, and unbeknownst to your family you're hurt or something. It can be bad" Liana explained.

Again, he told me about permission. Really sucks. It feels like Dejavu....

After preparing her heart, Elie and Liana entered. Kayn and I were brought inside, following Elie and Liana who entered first.

When we entered, the atmosphere of this mansion still felt alive. Some servants were pacing the hallways of the house. And when we came in and the waiters saw Elie with us, they stopped and looked at her in shock. We got nervous. What's the matter?

" T-mister Vermount!!! Miss Celica!! Young Miss Elizabeth is back!!!" Shouted a servant, followed by another servant.

We were silent not knowing what to say.

" Elie...are you a fugitive?" Tanyaku.

" T-of course not!"

" What the fuck is this then?"

" I-I don't know either...."

The servants were busy shouting the names of the two people. Vermount and Celica, who are they? Meanwhile by my side, Elijah was silently staring, astonished by an unexpected situation like this.

A man who looked to be about 38 years old emerged from one of the hallways. A woman the same age as him appeared, along with a little boy. They all look so worried. Who're they? Elie's family?.

" Elie my dear, you're finally back" said the man "where have you been all night? Raining alone?"

" We're so worried about you, baby, where have you been?" Ask the lady, approach us.

Elie was still lowered, not daring to look at the faces of the two people.

" Dad, mom, sorry to worry you guys. I left unbeknownst to you both...." Elie. From his tone of speech, he seemed to be so sorry. Yes, everyone would be like this if they made a mistake for the first time.

" It's okay, the important thing is that you're not hurt. As long as you're okay, it doesn't matter. But don't repeat that again " said the man, stroking Elie's head affectionately.

" And it looks like you're looking at a guest, baby..." Said the woman who came with the man earlier. " If Liana's mother already knows, but who are these two young men? Are they your friends?"

Elie nodded. He looked at us with a smile. The mood is getting better again.

" Father, mother, introductions, these two are my best friends.that's Kayn Endarker, and that's her twin sister, Zayn Endarker" Elie said.

Suddenly the two nobles were silently pecking. Kayn and I tried to smile as politely as possible.

" I-if..k-if the Endarkers? I-that means you're both sons of Zean Endarker?"

Me and Kayn nodded. The faces of the two men were shining. They approached us enthusiastically and shook our hands.

" It's an honor to meet the descendants of Endarker. It's a miracle " said the man "my name is Vermount Bathory. Elizabeth's father, as well as the head of the Bathory family"

Ah, so it seems. So these people are Elie's family. Her father, mother, and younger brother.

Vermount Bathory was a man with a strong body and a handsome face. Height about 180 cm. His blonde hair he lengthened a boat and tied. His eyes showed his authority. From his attitude, he actually showed a portrait of a family head.

Celica Bathory, the mother. She has a beautiful and beautiful body. Her face was beautiful and looked fresh like a woman in her 20s. Her hair was also a long blonde to the waist. His face looked so friendly, his nature was also meek. It is about 165 cm tall. He looks so much like Elie. Or rather, Elie was very similar to her mother. Really beautiful charming.

Arthur Bathory, the younger brother. Because he was 9 years old, his body was still so tiny. About 110 cm. His face still looks cute and innocent. And if you look around, it looks like he will be a handsome young man if he grows up. Her hair is short blonde. Looking around, she looked like a young Vermount with short hair.

Here he is, the Bluelagoon town blonde noble family. Main family Bathory.

The Bathory family welcomed us very well. We were special guests at this residence. Elie hurriedly brought Liana into her room, changing her messy clothes. Fortunately the bodies of Elie and Liana are not much different. Maybe the difference is only in the size of his chest. Liana who has a bigger chest than Elie must have a little trouble. Elie's mother asked what happened to us earlier, especially when she saw Liana's condition. We simply replied "there are criminals attacking us ". Fortunately, he did not ask for more than that. He didn't ask us to tell him the full story and immediately told Elie to take Liana to his room to get changed.

While waiting for them, Kayn and I sat in the living room together. The servants came to bring us a dish and a cup of warm tea. Mr. Vermount also sat with us, along with Arthur.

" I'm sorry that our daughter is bothering you. He was in puberty. It's hard to manage" said Mr. Vermount.

"N-not really, quite the opposite. Actually, my sister's the one who's making Elie a fuss..." Reply Kayn rubbed my hair rough. Mr. Vermount laughed a little.

" Elie yes, apparently you are also quite familiar to call him by that name" he said "honestly I was a little surprised when I found out Elie had a male friend. He is quiet and shy. So I guess he's gonna have a little trouble with relationship problems with the opposite sex. In fact, I'm afraid that he won't even have a life partner. But seeing you guys get along with him makes me really happy"

Much different than I know. He said Elie was quiet and shy? I almost laughed when I heard it. It turned out that what Liana said back then was true. Elie has changed a lot.

" Sir.pak Vermount. Elie said that the Bathory family owes our father a lot of money. Is that true?" Ask Kayn "if so, can you please tell me? To be honest, we don't know much about Dad. It's very rare at home."

" really? Don't you know his job, too?"

We shakes. Dad never told me. He didn't want to bring up work problems in our childhood lives.

Mr. Vermount nodded in understanding and started telling stories.

" Surely Mr. Zean accidentally met me 12 years ago. At that time the state of our family was falling because of the actions of other nobles who have status above us. There were actually many other nobles who were harmed by it, but somehow master Zean focused more attention on us. We also know that he has extraordinary magic and martial skills. He is also very intelligent, like a great detective. He also said he came from another country. The job that brought him here.."

" He looks very determined. He also frequently went to government offices. And without us noticing, the matter of us and the other nobles slowly disappeared. And within a few days, all those problems just disappeared. The impact of the noble's crimes was gone, and we returned to our usual lives. And at that time, Mr. Zean who happened to live in our residence also paid his respects. He didn't ask for anything in return. When we gave him some money to repay, he refused. I thought it was because he felt indebted for giving him a stay at our residence. But he denied it and said it was his own wish. He said that the dirty work he did had to be done anyway, and he wouldn't take the reward of anyone else for his dirty work."

" Just after he left, a shocking news appeared. The noble residence that once troubled us was filled with the corpses of strange creatures. Something like vampires and demons. All its inhabitants vanished without a remnant, and left only that terrifying sight. After that we also realized, if the nobility who inhabited the place was not human. They are vampires as well as demons who disguise themselves as humans and enter the government. They're messing with the country's economy from the inside out. The perpetrator of the massacre has not been found. But I feel that Mr. Zean must be working with them to uncover the noble's identity.."

Kayn and I were shocked to hear the full story from Mr. Vermount. Looks like I'm starting to understand what kind of job you really mean. The dirty work that led him to refuse a reward from Mr. Vermount.

And the conclusion I got from Mr. Vermount's story, it looks like Dad's job is the same as ours. He was likely a Magic Knight who fought against demons. Even so, why didn't Oliver tell us?

Dad refused a reward from Mr. Oliver because he was actually paid by a client who asked him to come. Dad came here because work was proof enough. He is sent by the organization to solve the problems of demons that appear in this city.

But I still don't know why he's focused on the Bathory family. I think only Dad knows why. My guess is just because he owes me a favor. The Bathory family had given him shelter.

" Is this story enough for you?" Ask Mr. Vermount.

" Y-yeah, thank you so much for the story..." Answer Kayn.

A few minutes after that, Elie and Liana with Miss Celica returned. They both changed their clothes.

" I'm sorry to keep you waiting" said Liana "b-how? Does this suit me?"

" Y-yeah, it's a good fit" Kayn replied slightly stammered. Liana smiled at Kayn's reply.

Elie just kept quiet beside him, while occasionally stealing glances.

" You're also fit to wear it, Elie." I try to praise.

And immediately Elie's face turned red.

" I-I didn't ask for your opinion anyway" she replied.

" Your face is asking me."

" Duh, you bitch"

We laughed when we saw Elie's behavior. The laughing Elie was a bit of a protest.

" Now Kayn, Zayn, how's your family doing now?" Ask Miss Celica

Kayn and I were silent.

" The father and mother were killed 7 years ago" Kayn said.

" We were 10 years old at the time...." My welcome.
