Chapter 57: Family Problems Are Always Annoying

It was obvious that Rosavellt didn't want to talk about the skeleton.

No, she didn't want to talk about the person who made the Skeleton. She was nervous because she didn't know how to start.

Rosavellt knew that if she said anything then it would open up a whole new set of questions that she wasn't ready to answer yet, but she decided that she would not hide anything from her master. If Floid wished to know, then she would tell him anything.

"It belongs to my brother, master. Reginald. It has the same smell and Mana signature as him,"

Her brother? Floid was surprised. He didn't know that Rosavellt had a family. He thought about what this could mean? Why is Rosavellt's brother leaving his familiars in human towns?

Floid asked Rosavellt what her brother could be trying to do and Rosavellt answered that she did not know. She has not seen her brother for close to nine centuries. Ever since she was chosen to become a part of the demon lord's household she has lost touch with both her brother and father.

Floid hummed as he tapped his finger on the table. This looked lke something that won't be serious now, but it could cause him issues in the long run. But it also looks like an issue that Rosavellt was personally invested in. She might look calm on the outside, but I can tell that she is curious. She also wants to know what her brother is doing here.

Rosavellt had her hand joined in front of her calmly but she hoped that the demon lord couldn't tell how anxious she was. She needs to find out what her brother is doing here! She hasn't seen him since she left the underworld and he is suddenly turning up just at the same time that the demon lord returned? There is no such thing as a coincidence! He is up to something and she wants to find out what it is! But will the demon lord even allow her to find out what it is? She has a lot of things to do here, and she has not even finished training the army. Maybe she should forget it. Dracula can find out the cause of this problem and everything will turn out fine again.

"I'll give you one week,"

Floid suddenly spoke up and Rosavellt looked up in shock as he continued.

"Take one week and go to the town of Duranel. Find out what happened there and make sure it isn't a problem. If you find your brother there then deal with your family problem and bring him back here to answer for his presence in my kingdom."

The amount of joy that filled Rosavellt was unbearable. A small smile broke across her face as she couldn't stop herself! This was the only time she has ever allowed herself to break character while working! She bowed deeply to thank Floid for allowing her to deal with this herself as she turned to leave. But Floid wasn't finished.

"Rosa, call for help if you need it. This is a serious mission. If you find him then bring him back here, but if he turns out to be a problem, I hope you know what you have to do,"

Rosa turned around with a hardened face and she nodded seriously. If it is an issue that will make them lose demons in the army then she will do anything to make sure her lord does not lose anything! Even if it is her brother, she will kill him for the demon lord.

For other races, it may seem like an over-exaggeration of loyalty to kill your family for your ruler, but Rosavellt was different. The moment she left her family to join the demon lord, the demon lord became her everything. He was her father, her brother, and her lover. She would kill anyone to protect him. It was not evil in her mind to kill her former family, it was simply her own version of loyalty.

...

Rosavellt was standing outside the castle and she was about to leave. She wore simple trousers and a shirt as she prepared herself. She already said goodbye to the other maids and told them to take care of her duties while she is away and she put Andromeda in charge of taking care of things in the castle. She would have given it to Pyra, but that woman is a walking disaster so she will not be able to handle it!

She didn't tell them what she was going to do, but they knew that it was something personal to her. Rosavellt saw Floid looking at her from the balcony of his office and bowed deeply to thank him again. She will make sure to come back safely to her lord.

Floid gave her a nod before he walked back into his office. Floid sat down and started to work again. Yesterday, after Rosavellt left, Floid asked Dragonnel to come and explain who Rosavellt was properly. If there was anyone that Floid trusted in this entire place, then it was Dragonnel. It was true that Dragonnel wasn't very diligent and he also didn't do any work at all. He was very lazy in fact! The dragon didn't have any traits that would make his loyalty stand out, but Floid knew that Dragonnel would be the last person to betray him in this castle. Be could feel it through the contract they had. Dragonnel was the one he trusted the most!

It turns out that Dragonnel knew quite a lot about Rosavellt's family. Rosavellt and her brother Reginald were both children of the ruler of the underworld. He was the undead king, Yahma, and there was a lot of the undead that he ruled over! The undead king has never been seen in Rivalle before and Dragonnel was shocked when Floid told him that Rosavellt's brother was here.

Dragonnel was silent for some time as he thought about what that could mean for them. But he eventually told Floid that Reginald might be looking for something. The undead king wouldn't send his son here for no reason and they wouldn't just send familiars to a human kingdom for no reason either. Dragonnel was sure that there was some other reason behind this and it could mean a lot if they don't take it seriously.

Floid then asked Dragonnel about the underworld. Floid always thought that the undead were demons as well but Dragonnel shook his head. The undead was a race of their own. They were ruled by the Undead king and they didn't have any reason to follow the demon lord at all. Dragonnel doesn't know why Rosavellt decided to follow the demon lord instead of her father.

Floid wondered about that as well. Why did Rosavellt decide to follow him instead of her father?
