"Very well Sir. I have no complaints if that is what you wish to do then you should do so. I have captured an individual already and they are currently napping in the trunk." He bows to his master and then gets to work on making sure that the doors are open and waiting for Cedric to return.
Cedric turned away without replying and went back into the house to grab the first set of vials. 'There are a few sets of vials that I have to grab. I believe I saw three sets worth or maybe it was four. Either way, I have to get it all to the car so that I can go home and be with the love of my life. I am grateful that I finally remember her and our past together. Now it is her turn to learn of our past together once more.' He picks up the first set of vials and notices that it is rather light and not as heavy as he thought it would be considering it was full of blood. He takes it to the car and heads back inside and grabs the second set. As he is carrying the second set his senses pick up something so he sidesteps to his right and avoids an attack as he steps outside. "You dare have the gall to attack me?" His eyes narrow at the one who tried to attack him.
The guy tries to stab Cedric with a knife and then Royce comes up behind the person and knocks him unconscious. "Sorry, Sir. One of them managed to get past me. The rest were disposed of accordingly but I will add this one to the trunk and maybe we can figure out who is orchestrating this?"
"Thank you, Royce. Let us do that then. It looks like we will be having some company over the next few days. I have been looking forward to acquiring some new play toys." He places the vials down and goes back into the house and grabs the third set. After he finished getting all four sets to the car he went back inside and opened a safe and took out the contents and took it to the car. He grabbed the crowns and placed them on top of the contents of the safe. 'I do believe that is everything for today but I do need to set up another barrier around the place.' Cedric locked the front door and started chanting to safeguard the place until he returned with Yuki by his side next time.
"Sir, it is currently noon. Are there any other stops that you need to make or would you prefer to head back to the house?" Royce closed all the doors that were open and stood by the open door for his master to go in at.
"Let's get this stuff home and get the prisoners locked up properly. Then we can head out and get whatever else I need to do. I think we need to restock the torture room with supplies as well.
With that being said please take us home for now." Cedric climbs into the front seat and makes himself comfortable.
"Very well, Sir." Royce closes the door and then goes back to his side of the car. He gets in and starts the car and then swiftly drives back to the manor. "Would you like me to move our guests to their new chambers?"
"Yes, please do that while I move the items into the house. Show our guests how we show our best hospitality." He smiles evilly.
"I shall do that then. Will you be concerned over the items in the car while I am moving our guests to their accommodations?" Royce keeps driving to the house and asks this to Cedric.
"Ah, I shall get Claude to watch the car in the meantime." Cedric takes out his phone and calls Claude.
"Hello, do what do I owe the pleasure of a call directly from the Master of the household?" Claude sat in his living room and put down his book.
"I have a job for you. Will you come over and guard some items that are being targeted?" Cedric smiled and looked at the window. "Royce two o'clock."
"It seems that this is some important items. I will be at your place in five minutes. Unless you need a guard for the drive?" Claude got up and walked to the door.
"We will deal with them then meet at the house and we will discuss the details of this mission when you arrive." Cedric hangs up the phone and then creates a double of his car. Royce parked the car while Cedric cloaks the car that they are in. The fake car drives down the road and the pursuers drive past them. Cedric watches them drive past and after a few minutes they turn and head to the house. Once he knows that the illusion can disappear he makes it vanish. They pull up to the place fifteen minutes after they lost the pursuers.
Claude steps up to the car and opens the door for Cedric. "What is so important that I have to come here to safeguard you and the car?"
"I will give you all the details when the contents are moved inside the manor." Cedric steps out of the car and then starts to bring the vails into the house. He places them in his study and quickly works on getting everything inside the manor.
Claude looks at the vials and sees that they are numbered. 'I get the feeling that this is more serious than normal. If there is anyone stupid enough to come directly to this household than they are clearly asking for their death.' He watches Royce take two people from the trunk. 'It looks like there is a lot of work this time around. I wonder what the hell this is all about?'
Cedric finished moving all the vials to his office so he then moves the chest into the hallway and then goes and gets Claude. "Okay, here is the deal. I finally got my memories back from the past and I found my missing fiance in the process. So you are going to be on duty for the next four months. I have a lot of work I still have to do but this house needs to be guarded at all times. I will not risk losing her again."
"So you finally remember Yuki and you found her?" Claude looks over at Cedric and sees him give a quick nod. "Good. I will do this for you. It looks like you caught some prey already. Do you need help getting the usual information from them or do you want different information from them?"
"Since you are here I will leave it to you to do in your spare time. The vials that I brought in are of the most important right now. Just because I remember Yuki doesn't mean that she remembers me." Cedric pointed to his office. "Safeguard these. I can't risk them being broken and she can only drink about one a day. There are so many vials I am grateful that they are labeled. She is upset that she can not remember our past so she will be pleased when she hears about these. She is asleep in my room and you can see her once she awakens. I can not say if she will remember you at this time."
