Reincarnated With A Badluck System

Chapter 19 A New Master And Squabble With Mimi(2)

Vincent checked his outfits one more time and made sure that he was looking good before heading towards the door of his room.

When he walked out of his room, he was shocked to see a bunch of butlers standing at his doorstep and bowing their heads like frogs.

"Young master, do you need any assistance, it has been a week since we cleaned your room last." One of the butlers said, with a deep bow. He was a middle-aged man who seemed to be in his early forties.

Vincent shook his head and replied with an awkward smile, carved on his face, "Ahem... Thank you all for checking out on me. As from now onwards, I shall clean my room myself, there's no need to bother yourself in assisting me. If I need your assistance, I would call on you guys" Vincent replied and gestured with his hand; for them to make way for him.

"Young master! But..." Before the Butlers could finish their sentence, Vincent had vanished from their sight, making them wonder how he disappeared within the blink of an eye.

...

"Phew... That was weird, I can't stand those old men, bowing their heads to me. What even annoys me is that; they all stand at my doorstep every morning. If I didn't know mom better, I would have said that she had Butler's fetishes! There's not a single maid in this house" Vincent cursed inwardly as he descended from the stairs that lead to his room.

As expected, Mimi didn't give him a reply as they had yet to end their squabble. Making Vincent feel a little sad and worried about her feelings.

When Vincent arrived at the living room, he saw that it was empty and all the gadgets seemed to be switched off, making the living room silent like a graveyard. His heart clenched as he couldn't believe that his 16 years+ courtship with Hilda, ended in a single day when she called off their wedding. It was a normal thing for him to grieve, after living like a couple with her and doing all things a couple would do, except sexual intercourse.

He sighed in solace as the house was no longer chaotic like it was once, before. At the same time, he was also wondering how his life would progress, now that he had a mana core. His former plan was to become a merchant and live a happy life with Hilda after their marriage, as he expected the third tier of his system to be simple and useless like the second tier. However, the third tier caught him by surprise.

The reason for his worries was that; Zadicus was no longer living in his mom's house for almost a year, after Amelina kicked him out when Hilda told her most of the things he usually does to Vincent, with proof, as she couldn't stand his maltreatment. It was the same for Arthur, as he rarely comes home, ever since he started teaching in an academy that was created for humans and demi-humans, who had no affinity for magic.

Nonetheless, the thing that troubled him the most was his sister. She had always believed that he would later or sooner awaken his mana core. Thus, she decided not to attend the mage academy and stick around her brother like glue. Making Vincent worried if his sister was into a bro-con relationship with him, as he had never seen her with any man or heard her talk about one, either. To overstate, she often beats her admirers to a near-death state. 

He wasn't sure of what her reaction would be after she learned that he awakened his mana core. After all, he was sure that his mom would inform her during their breakfast.

He shook his head as he walked past the living room and moved towards the exit of the house.

Immediately he turned the knob of the door, he could see Versys, his mother's bodyguard, staring at him with a creepy smile.

Versys hadn't aged during the years, as he still looked like a man in his early 20s, with his thick brown beards and heavy beast gears that had never left his body, even when sleeping, making Vincent wonder if he also used it to bathe. Versys was also the disciplinarian of his elder brothers, Zadicus and Arthur, anytime they offended his mom. Vincent had never tasted Versys whip and he never wished to taste it, after all, he was smarter than a teenager of his age. 

"Vincent, how are you doing? Are you ready to leave now?" Versys asked in a stern voice. He was the only one who didn't call him a young master or show him any kind of respect because Amelina treated him like a brother and a guardian to her children. 

Vincent tilted his head and replied; "Yes, uncle, I'm ready, take care of me" Vincent said and began following Versys from behind.

When they arrived at the front of the carriage that looked exactly like a car, a single wide door opened, and Vincent entered, followed by Versys.

When Vincent entered the car, he could see that the driver's seat was no longer occupied by a driver but a humanoid golem that seemed to be similar to a robot on earth. The golem was made out of a black material that Vincent couldn't guess what it is, and some runes seemed to be carved on its body here and there. The golem was fast and reactive to humans' presence and it was able to communicate efficiently. Looking at the golem, Vincent guessed that it was one of Savina's creations because he had been hearing a series of explosions for the past few days, which he guessed that it was something she came up with. Golems were very common like water but smart and efficient ones could only be created by powerful mages. Savina's own doesn't seem to be the best but it was very smart and efficient compared to its rough and scary appearance.

p Suddenly, the golem turned its head and asked; "Where would you like to go, dear passengers?" The golem asked while its artificial eyes scanned the pairs.

Versys rubbed his enormous beards as he seemed to be frustrated, then he replied, "Take us to Deact Vale."

"Affirmative passengers," the golem replied and started the engine of the carriage that was powered by mana crystals which were the source of energy in Manov, it is usually gotten from crystal mines or mana geysers, where the flow of mana is abundant.

The moment the carriage had been ignited, the carriage began to move, till it left the courtyard.

Meanwhile, while Vincent was gone, a tall girl could be seen holding a large food flask in her hands, while walking towards the entrance of Vincent's house. When she arrived at the doorstep, she clicked on the bell runes that were engraved on the walls. The runes only needed to be tapped and the bells would ring inside.
