"Mammy, are you okay?" Roy worriedly asked as he found his mother walking a little funnily.
Fiona's cheeks burned in blush at the question from her son, but she managed to wrap her arm around him and pulled him closer to her.
"I am fine, Roy." She sweetly said and planted a kiss on his head.
Roy frowned a little when he saw the genuine smile on her face, but then he too smiled and resumed looking around the place.
It was in the morning after their breakfast that Keith took everyone to shop at this famous and biggest mall in the city of Reykjavík.
Though Keith had given them a go on buying whatever they find a liking to, both of them were very restrained, and they were even hesitant after they looked at the prices of the clothing articles in the shops Keith took them inside.
However, after they watched the Hubo Twins enjoying their time and indeed buying whatever they liked, Fiona allowed Roy to get something as well.
Her eyes inadvertently glanced at Keith, who was walking ahead of them with Iseul clinging onto his arm, chatting about something with him.
And Fiona immediately lowered her eyes when she felt her body warmed up again, images of the wild last night flashing through her mind.
She staggered again, feeling weak in his legs, and felt ashamed as she found herself getting wet just by her thoughts.
However, she soon distracted herself when a few people from the Mall approached them and bowed to Keith in a very respectful greeting.
They did not seem like normal people, and were undeniably very respected and rich folks, given how extravagantly they were dressed and carried themselves.
"Master Demiliore."
She heard one man address Keith by that name, and she frowned a little as she found it familiar.
Fiona tried to recall where she had heard the name before, and after several minutes, her eyes widened in shock when she realised where she had heard the name.
Demiliore was one of the richest Families in the world, and they would appear in News around the world from time to time.
Even someone like her, who did not spend any time on social media or listening to the news had heard their name, and her heart started racing very quickly.
She was a little more terrified now that she realised how prominent Keith's Family was. It was ever richer and more prestigious than the House of Winford where she was born and served. And as she guessed Keith's identity, she became even more nervous.
"You haven't bought yourself anything." She looked to her left in alarm but immediately lowered her head when she found him smiling at her.
They were inside a clothing store right now, and Roy was picking some clothes together with Ruru and Riku.
"I..."
"You don't have any more clothes on you." He reminded her, which added to her nervousness. "Come, I will help you pick some." He then said and grabbed her hand, leading her to the second floor, which was reserved for ladies.
For the next half an hour, Keith selected dozens of dresses for her, then helped her pick shoes, casual attires, coats, jackets, sweaters, night and loungewear, and even underwear.
It was so fun manipulating the heart of a lady, and he was a Master of this Art. Him showering so much much money on her made her feel troubled and uncomfortable, but at the same time, it sprouted a little sweetness in her heart as well.
"Master..." She softly called out to him as they returned downstairs.
"Yes?"
"Thank you."
"You're welcome." He smiled and replied, amused at her nervousness. "You want to ask me something?" He knowingly asked, and chuckled as she looked like a terrified rabbit.
"No..."
"Yes." He cut her off, smiling at her, and she embarrassedly lowered her head.
"Do you treat all your maids like this?" She meekly asked.
"Yes." He shrugged. "I like taking care of people who belong to me."
His answer made her feel relieved, but a little at loss too, however, she felt quite relaxed now.
"May I ask your name?"
"My mother gave me the name Keith, my Grandmother gave me the name Argus, and I belong to the Demiliore Family of Sameran." He told her and smiled when he watched her nod but keep her head lowered.
"Keith Argus Demiliore." She took his name. "You are the president of the Black Forest Group, the one who created Memoir."
"Yes." He chuckled and playfully continued. "I am surprised that you did not recognise me."
"No... I..."
"Don't worry about it." He assured her. "It is actually refreshing to not be recognised." He shrugged, and it brought a smile to her lips.
"Sorry." She courteously said, and Keith planted a kiss on her cheek which made her blush.
"It's okay."
Fiona watched him return to Iseul and Minami's side, and when she looked away, her eyes inadvertently landed on her son, who was looking her way with a frown.
Her heart skipped a beat when she realised that he had seen Keith kiss her, and she felt a little guilty in her heart.
However, to her relief, the young boy smiled at her and then approached her.
"Come, Mammy! I will show you what I bought." He grabbed her hand and dragged her to the counter where their bill was being prepared.
The group then had their lunch at a restaurant near the mall, and the food was just as delicious as the one they had last night.
Roy was still a little timid in Keith's presence, but he was not as nervous as before.
After their lunch, they did not return to the Hotel but arrived at the Airport where a Private Jet, which was different from the one they had used yesterday, was waiting for them.
An hour-long flight later, they landed at a desolate airport where very few people and aircraft could be seen, but what caught their attention were the three modern tiltrotor helicopters, which were waiting for them.
Roy was excited to see them. They had come out only a few years ago, and at that time, all the kids at the school were very excited about them and incessantly talked about them. He was no different and his green eyes were sparkling with excitement.
And he was even more excited when he saw that Keith was going to fly one, and Iseul and Yingying were going to operate the other two.
His excitement was shared by Hubo Twins as well, and all three of them sat together in the one Keith was going to fly.
To add to their excitement, once they were in the air, Keith playfully manoeuvred the aircraft, giving them a full taste of the experience, making them laugh and enjoy their time, but soon they were silent and just amazed by the beautiful scenery they looked at.
The place they arrived at was straight out of a dream, and the beautiful castle that stood proudly under the hills was very majestic.
But it was the lake which had crystal blue water, and the mountain peaks that were covered in blankets of snow that enchanted them, and then there were the beautiful green trees and the serenity that threatened to steal their souls away the more they looked at it and experienced it.
"You will be staying here for the next year," Keith informed them, much to their glee, and then they all entered the Castle where a very tall man was waiting for them, wearing a suit and a long coat.
"My Lord."
"Romeo." Keith nodded to him with a smile and then followed his butler as he led them inside and showed them around the place.
The Castle belonged to Hermes, but Keith had taken a liking to it and asked for it, and Hermes was more than happy to hand it over to him.
Keith did not change the Castle's name, and it was still the Castle of Khione, named after Hermes' daughter, who had left this world a few decades ago.
Fiona, Roy, Ruru, and Riku were shown their rooms in the Castle, and then everyone gathered in the main Hall where a few maids were waiting for them.
"Do you like the place?" Keith asked Fiona, who nodded her head with a smile.
"Yes, Master."
"In my absence, you will take care of Ruru and Riku, and Romeo here will take the four of you to travel around Iceland for the next two months." He told her.
"You are leaving?" She nervously asked when she realised what his words implied.
"Yes." He nodded to her and then turned to look at the Hubo Twins. "Romeo will train the three of you for some months." He spoke to them in Persian, and both of them nodded their heads without any complaint.
Keith then chatted with the butler for a while and then gestured for Roy to step forward.
"The maids here are well versed in different languages, they will teach you Netherian and Persian." He told him. "Romeo will also help you train physically, so you will listen to him."
"Yes..." The boy nervously nodded his head.
"I hope you won't slack off and disappoint me." He seriously said, adding to the young boy's nervousness. "And be friends with Riku and Ruru." He patted the boy's head, which eased his nerves a lot, and Roy smiled at him.
"I will."
Keith smiled in his heart as he looked into the boy's eyes.
"Take care." He said and then walked towards Fiona, who was very unconfirmed right now.
Keith mischievously raised her chin and captured her lips, which stunned her and Roy, who was looking their way, and then he leaned in to whisper something in her ear which made her furiously blush.
"And one more thing..." Keith grinned. "The butler and maids are all Vampires."
Fiona's mind froze at his words, and before she could react, he was already walking out of the hall with the three girls.
She nervously looked at the tall man, who was called Romeo, and then looked at the four maids by his side.
The smiles on their faces made her uneasy, and she kept hoping in her mind that Keith was joking with her. However, a part of her mind was telling her that he was not bluffing.
Thankfully, all of them dispersed to return to their tasks, and Romeo took the three children away to get them started with their training.
Fiona only debated for a moment before she courageously followed the butler. She needed to keep an eye on her child and make sure he was safe, otherwise, her heart would never be at rest after what Keith had just revealed to her.
