Magic's Return: I Can See The Spirits



The Carriage stopped in front of the Stormweaver House, Aldric stepped out and,

"Young Master Vaan." He bowed his head as he opened the doors of the Carraige for Vaan to step out.

Vaan stepped out, his eyes falling on the Stormweaver Mansion, this was his second time coming here, with a small smile on his face, he walked in.

"Y-Young Master Vaan!"

Vaan's eyes then fell on two familiar guards.

"Do you want the Invitation Letter again?" he questioned with a playful look on his face.

From how stiff their body was, Vaan could tell that these guards were nervous. A good change compared to before, when they were looking down on him.

This is how one should act when the Young Master of the Vesta Family visits them.

Be scared, be nervous, take care of every single thing, make sure nothing you do annoys him,

That is how the Status difference between the two families becomes apparent.

"O-O-Of course not! I-It is our fortune that Young Master Vaan has decided to a-accept our invitation and grace us with his presence.

We have already sent someone to inform Lady Seraphina, she must be waiting for you inside."

The guard who enjoyed 'ordering the Vesta Blood' replied, his body was trembling in fear.

The man standing in front of him killed a 3rd Circle Mage ruthlessly, he saw that battle with his own eyes.

Yes, the guard had taken a day off from his duty just so he could go and watch Vaan get defeated by other Mages. He wanted to watch Vaan get bullied by other mages and humiliated in front of the crowd, however, what he saw shocked him to the core.

That demonic smile as he ruthlessly punched his opponents till their faces were disfigured, that ferocious look in his eyes as he glared at his enemy even after his entire body was electrolyzed with Magic.

The Guard did hear rumors about Vaan's change but he dismissed them very quickly, that day, however, his misconception was clear…

This man… he was much scarier than all other heirs of the Vesta Family combined.

Not to mention how he had the absolute support of the Head of the Vesta Family, who even went as far as killing a 5th Circle Mage who attacked her son.

A 5th Circle Mage! One had to know, the Stormweaver Family Head, Anderson Stormweaver, he had just recently broken through and become a 5th Circle Mage. The Mage who died that day was most probably stronger than Stormweaver Family Head, yet there he was, cut into two pieces in front of the huge crowd and no one dared to raise his or her voice.

That was just how scary the Vesta Family was.

Offending the prospective heir of such a family, that was a foolish decision.

"P-Please go in, Young Master Vaan." The guard bowed his head.

Seeing that, a satisfied smile appeared on Vaan's face as he walked into the Stormweaver Mansion, and as soon as he walked in just a little further, a beautiful white-haired woman could be seen standing in front of him with a maid standing beside her.

"Greetings, Young Master Vaan."

Seraphina slightly lifted the black skirt she was wearing as she bowed her head.

'Heh.'

Vaan chuckled inwardly. Then, he slightly tilted his head towards Aldric and,

"Guess I am not 'expected' to go to the Guest Room and wait for her today."

Aldric smiled weakly.

'He remembers...'

Aldric realized it.

Vaan still hadn't forgotten the disrespect he faced the first time he came here.

And seeing how the Stormweaver Family was showing him the proper respect now, Vaan couldn't help but laugh in joy.

This was the feeling of cornering the rat.

The woman standing in front of him, she had no other options left.

Relishing this feeling, Vaan continued,

"I don't think it has been that long since we have seen each other, Sera. You interrupted my dinner date with my Fiance a few days ago, remember?"

"Hahaha~

Young Master is right and I deeply apologize for interrupting you that day.

It is just that these days, I often find myself missing Young Master Vaan a little too much, and since I keep thinking about you all the time, even a few days of not seeing you feel like a long time."

Seraphina smiled lightly as she looked into Vaan's eyes.

The words she spoke and the expression she currently had on her face, the previous Vaan would have licked the entire ground clean just so he could experience this once, and even then, he would have failed.

And yet here she was, the great Seraphina Stormweaver, a woman with countless men crazy over her, offering herself on a plate right in front of him.

"By the way, Congratulations on discovering the Advanced Magic Circle, Young Master Vaan."

Seraphina congratulated.

"I published that circle weeks ago, why are you congratulating me right now?" Vaan questioned.

"My mediocre Magic Talent couldn't understand just how much of a great discovery that Magic Circle was, I only realized its greatness when I heard about you using it to defeat your opponents one after another.

Now I regret that I couldn't make it to the Stadium to watch your Duels."

"Well it is not that big of a problem now, is it? Just start some other new rumor and I will probably challenge other mages 'standing up for you'. You can watch the duels then."

Vaan replied.

"Young Master must be joking, I wasn't the one who spread those false rumors and Young Master should know that as well. I am not that kind of woman. I did, however, come up with a solution for this situation.

A permanent solution that would fix all the problems that have or could possibly arise because of these baseless rumors."

"Oh? You thought of a solution? Well then what are you waiting for? Say what you have in mind."

"Shall we first move to somewhere private first? I would feel bad if Young Master Vaan stood up the entire time as we talked."

"You are being extra careful today," Vaan commented.

"As I said, I missed Young Master Vaan, so I am just making sure that Young Master Vaan is satisfied. As they say, a man who is satisfied with his wife returns home much quicker than a man who is not.

Anyways, please follow me, Young Master Vaan."

Saying those words, Seraphina turned around and walked away, telling Vaan to follow him. Anna, Seraphina's maid stopped Aldric, giving the two of them some private time.

Soon, Vaan and Seraphina walked into a room. Vaan sat down, Seraphina sat down in front of him and,

"So? What is the solution you found?" With his hands crossed and one leg over the other, Vaan questioned. From his expression, it was clear that he didn't care about this entire thing, Seraphina noticed that, however, ignoring that face, she proposed,

"The Rumors about Young Master Vaan sexually assaulting me, even if I personally come forward and deny these rumors, it would give an impression that I am being forced by the Vesta Family, this would ruin the Vesta Family's image, which, of course, is something you wouldn't want.

However, there is a way with which not only these rumors, even if more rumors spread in the future, it would not harm our two families."

"And what way is that?" Vaan questioned.

"Please Marry me."

Seraphina requested.

Vaan narrowed his eyes, however, before he could say anything, Seraphina continued,

"Now I will not deny that I have a selfish reason behind this, I have had feelings for Young Master Vaan ever since I saw you, however, as someone who is dedicated to my family and wants it to grow, I had decided to bury these feelings in my heart and focus on my family.

However, when I saw Young Master Vaan on a dinner date a few days ago, these buried feelings all came back, this time, a lot stronger than before.

It is to the point where I can't focus on anything since my mind is completely occupied by Young Master Vaan.

I know this is not the most romantic way to confess my feelings, however, this method does efficiently take care of these and any future rumors there are and I hope Young Master Vaan accepts my proposal."

Seraphina spoke up.

Yes, she had decided to 'sacrifice' herself in order to get out of this situation.

This was her 'grand' plan.

She had decided to give Vaan what he wanted, now even if she loses her value after this, as long as her family was in a good state, she had nothing to complain.

She had brought her family far enough, as for the rest, someone from the future generation would need to continue her work.

Thinking about it, a weak smile appeared on Seraphina's face…

To think that even after doing this much, she would still end up in a helpless state like this…

But then,

"Woman, what in the hell are you talking about?

Have you lost your mind or something?"
