Summoned and Unwanted

504 The Graymoon family’s generosity

“My wife toughed the pain out while managing to control all her mana filled with cold magic. On the other hand, your daughter was helped to relieve the pain and suffering. Additionally, she only needed to control a fraction of her mana with my help.”

“This is the reason why I believe the outcome has become different and why your daughter didn’t become immune to her own magic.”

“A-ar-are you saying your wife is the fourth Sigil Mage immune to her own magic?” Asked the shocked Aceon with his eyes opened wide. The butlers beside him stared at Vincent from the shock as well.

“Yes but... “*Sigh* Vincent shook his head and continued apologetically, “Unfortunately, your daughter didn’t awaken the self-magic immunity my wife has. This different treatment with less suffering will not allow your daughter to use her Sigils as my wife can freely.”

“I only care for my daughter’s well-being. I do not care if she can’t use her Sigils anymore.” Aceon replied.

Aceon revealed an angered expression while continuing, “Only one of my old friends helped me without asking for a part of my property or business. I have learned how money can change people and how I don’t give a damn about what they think.”

[Vincent. I am back.] Said Kazumi while floating toward him.

-How did it go?-

[Kazumi Sensei has helped her flawlessly. Now Tiffi will be able to turn on and off her Sigil without a hitch. But I hope she will not get hurt in the future.]



.....

-Great news. I already told her father how she would get hurt if she used the Flame Sigil again.-

[Good judgment.]

“Is something the matter?” Asked Aceon when he saw Vincent suddenly act disinterested in their conversation.

Vincent stood up and said, “I can feel the mana has stabilized now.”

“Help your daughter recover and meet me next Sunday. We can talk about the details then.” Vincent took a few steps and stopped, “Ohh! And if you want to know about me,

Aceon looked at the butlers and continued, “Take Lord Vincent Lionheart and his servant wherever they want to go.”

“Yes, my lord.” Both butlers said.

Shortly, Aceon watched Vincent and Sofy leave. He went to his daughter’s room and ordered the maid to leave them alone.

Aceon lowered to his knees and held his daughter’s hand. “Tiffi, my dear daughter. It’s all going to be okay now. The potions will help you recover, and I will go get more for you soon.”

“Money is less valuable than you are. I will not lose you too.” Aceon continued with tears raining on the wet bedsheet.

*Graymoon Auction House*

Vincent and Sofy arrived in the parking area. They went to their carriage, changed their clothes, and left for their home.

The shadow guard following Vincent returned back to report what happened. He informed Vicktor and Vikki Graymoon about what he heard while hiding on the roof.
“I heard Aceon Ponalis suddenly changed a few months ago. He started selling everything he owned and invested in potions and plants of all kinds.” Victor looked at his wife and asked, “What did you hear, dear?”

“I heard a how Aceon suddenly locked his daughter in her room and didn’t let her go out. Many believed it was to forcefully make her awaken a class with the items he bought.” Vikki said. She looked at the luxurious coffee table in front of her. On it was a few silver coins.

“Now we know most of the truth. Husband, how about we offer Aceon a refund? I want to help the person who values family over money.” Vikki requested.

“Haha. My wife is generous.” Victor extended his hand and ordered, “Refund all of Viscount Aceon Ponalis’s purchases in the previous months and tell him he doesn’t need to return the items. Tell him we wish his daughter can recover and become healthy again.”

“Yes, my lord. At once.” The shadow guard said before leaving.

Victor and Vikki looked at each other.

“Fourth Sigil Mage, is it? This year is getting interesting by the week, haha. ” Victor said with a grin.

“The sleeping lion is sharpening its claws. I hope our son can learn a thing or two from the sleeping lion.” Vikki added.

*Emerald Lionheart Mansion*

Vincent and Sofy returned. They were tired and felt as if a week had gone by. Saving Tiffi’s life made them mentally exhausted.

“I will take care of the horses.” Sofy leaned her hand and gave him a peck on his cheek. “Thank you for today’s date. I had fun.”

Vincent jumped down from the carriage and looked around. *Phew* “Do you want to get me in trouble?” He asked with a frown.

*Wink* “I will ask your counsel of women, hehe.” She joked before gently moving the reins and leading the horses to the stable.

[Women problems?]

-...-

Vincent headed inside and heard munching and giggling sounds. He headed to the kitchen and found Lupa munching on boiled chicken legs.

Lupa became startled as secretly eating meat was one of her weak points.

Lupa gulped and offered the piece of chicken leg. “Let’s share, my mate. It is really good.”

“What a crafty wife I have. Do you want to make me your accomplice?” Vincent teased.

Lupa was afraid of Ester’s refined ear-pulling technique. She quickly closed the pot and went beside Vincent. “I will do everything my mate asks. Please do not tell sister Ester. She is scary sometimes.”

Vincent giggled when he saw Lupa beg cutely. He tussled her hair and told her to bring Maid Xu and her sisters to the living room.

Lupa extended her tongue and swiftly cleaned her fingers clean. Then she went to bring everyone to the meeting.

[No wonder Yula sometimes glances at Lupa when she opens a pot.]

-Does it mean Lupa has been secretly stealing food every Sunday?-

[I guess so.]

Vincent facepalmed and went to wait in the living room.

Later, when Ester, Lupa, Iris, Lilith, Sakura, and Maid Xu entered the living room, he explained what had transpired today.

Lilith and Maid Xu were the most surprised out of the rest. They knew more than Vincent what it meant to have a loyal ally.

“Vincent. You really are the best, hehe.” Lilith giggled while looking excited.

“This is unheard of. I have never heard of a Viscount becoming the vassal of a low-ranked noble that doesn’t have a rank yet.” Maid Xu stood up and continued before leaving, “I will have to send a message to the Lord and Lady quickly.”

“Did she suffer a lot?” Asked Ester.

“As far as I know, the answer is both yes and no. Kazumi and I helped Tiffi control her mana. She didn’t need to suffer in the most crucial part.” Vincent answered.

Ester sighed in relief after hearing how Tiffi didn’t suffer too much because Vincent and Kazumi found a better way of helping a Sigil Mage.

“Tiffi was fortunate I accepted her father’s invite, but I was also fortunate for trying to save her.” Vincent raised his hand and smirked. He closed his hand and continued, “The mana I absorbed was pure and highly compatible with my mana element. Now I have reached a little over three hundred mana.”

Ester, Lupa, Kazumi, Iris, Lilith, and Sakura stared at Vincent. They were stuck in a daze for a few seconds as Vincent had almost tripled his mana in less than one day.

[Hey! Why didn’t you tell me first? I feel betrayed.] Said the most curious person out of everyone in the living room.

“Congratulations!” Everyone said. They all got up and went to hug him.

“Jun Jun. Plow smells Vincent, and everyone is in here.” *Pho*

Jun Ye Rim, with Plow in her arms, entered the living room. They saw Vincent on the sofa with five women hugging him. It looked like something was about to begin at first glance.

“W-wh-what! How shameless to make out with so many women in an open place!” Jun Ye Rim stuttered with a pair of brightly blushed cheeks and a pair of red ears.

*Pho!* “No fair! Plow wants to join the group hug too!” Plow said while moving her paws. She jumped on the floor and rushed to join the gang to enjoy a warm hug.

Kazumi left Vincent’s body and approached Jun Ye Rim. [Are you interested, perhaps?] She teased.

“N-no! Why do I have to touch that womanizer in broad daylight? I am not interested. Not one bit.” Jun Ye Rim declined while her eyes peeked at the group hug.

Sofy entered the living room, and a frown appeared on her face. *Tsk* She clicked her tongue.

Jun Ye Rim thought the elf maid was dissatisfied with the lengthy group hug. “Do you also feel embarrassed in their stead?” She asked.

“Embarrassed?” Sofy looked at the blushing Jun Ye Rim and continued, “I feel sad my chosen one hasn’t accepted my feelings yet. I would have joined them if I was accepted.”

Jun Ye Rim froze from shock. Beside her was another woman won by Vincent’s mysterious charm.

‘An elf’s chosen one? Hasn’t she accepted her feelings yet? What is happing? Did that womanizer play with this woman’s heart to... like he played with mine?’ Jun Ye Rim pondered with her blush, remaining bright.

*Sigh* “I have to ask them another time...” Sofy looked at Jun Ye Rim and continued, “Follow me and let’s have a chat.”

Sofy started walking to another room. Jun Ye Rim peeked one last time and followed after Sofy.
