OOC: I had to double post to finish this, Katarina you don't have to match me ok? lol I went overboard lol
Ryosuke gazed at the redhead, the initial shock was great, he had no idea how the hell she got from the game to in his car within his own house, the whole thing was confusing as anything to Seto."How the hell did you get here?" Seriously was there something he was missing here? He was in the real world in his own real body in the sanctum of his own home and sitting right next to him was a redhead he had met on Terrasphere. His mind became all jarred just thinking about the entire thing, trying to make sense of it. Before he could really think about it, the earth began to shake violently, destroying everything. As the roof started to come, Ryosuke raised his arms and covered himself as the roof came down on him. Ryosuke waited for death but it never came, instead only a flash of light came over, blinding Ryosuke from everything. The next thing to come was more shaking until he woke up slamming the back of his head against the carriage couch. "Shit, I slept too long.....Thanks, sweetheart, I'll be back soon, try not to get into trouble while I am away ok beautiful? The last time I let you loose, you tried to kill a fat ass." Seto waved back at Katarina as he opened the right door to the carriage before stepping down the carriage stairs and walking up to the guard house short feet away. "Halt! This is Duke Earnos estate, state your business or move along." Seto approached the heavy armored guards who lowered their swords at him, Seto reached his hand into his shirt, grabbing the House Kurama coat of arms and displaying to the guards to see.
"I am Seto Kurama of House Kurama, I have business with the Duke."
Seto stood there confident as the guards heavily inspected the coat of arms for a few moments before finally raising their weapon, allowing him to gain entry to the manor. "Duke Earnos has been expecting you. Make your way to the main hall do not deviate." Seto nodded at the guards before taking his leave, walking his way up to the doors of the manor, past the masterfully cut bushes and shrubs, Seto knocked on the door twice before one of the many servants of the door opened the door and lead Seto to the main hall, they knew better than to question the visitor, why else would he be here? Walking through the doorway, he heard the Duke's voice "Seto is that you, my boy? come, come! take a seat." Seto hesitated at first before making his way to the fireplace before sitting in a chair, opposite of the chair the Duke sat in. The Duke looked like before, only this time the older gentlemen were wearing a white coat and vest, unlike the last time. The older man grinned at Seto as he waited impatiently for Seto's report. "So my boy, tell me did you enjoy yourself at Lord Burren's party? I know that man knows how to throw a good party, visited a few of them back in the day when I was younger. I hate to cut to the chase Seto but did you find any proof of any mis deeds he might have been doing on the side?" Seto listened closely to what the Duke had said before he shrugged in disappointment, he thought the Duke would be more interested in anything but the report, guess he get it over with so he could leave the manor and be on his way. Reach in from his vest, he took out a brown envelope and handed it over to the Duke to open and read. He had written everything down on that pieace of paper that Lady Cecille told him during that night early in the morning when he first got up to hunt.
"Lord Earnos everything I was able to dig up on Lord Burren's dirty work in the short period of time I was there is in that report. As for the party, I didn't do much besides for talking and dancing with the bride."
Of course, Duke Earnois completely shunned Seto out as he read his report for nearly a minute before he dropped his jaw and stared at Seto as if he had killed someone. "Seto are you completely sure this is accurate? Are you telling me that Lord Burren has had dealings with that bastard House Drisner?"
Seto simply nodded to the Duke in silence, this news made a smile on the Duke's face as he nearly the Duke nearly jumped for joy. The Duke could barely contain himself from hearing this, From Seto's perspective, this was most likely going to give him a major edge in the king's court although, in the back of his mind, he wondered what would happen to Lady Cecille if Lord Burren was arrested for treason? The Duke nearly hugged Seto before he began speaking to him again. "Seto you have done me a great service that I'll never forget, I want to help you build your house up again, however, I cannot spare any land or power, unfortunately."
The Duke hesitated for a moment, thinking to himself before he made a fist with his hand it brought it down on his other's hands palm. Before Seto knew it The Duke had a servant come over, whispered into her ear who ran off for something. "My boy, for your service to me, I will give you something that will aid you on your journey, servants. A true noble has servants that aid him in his quest and you Seto are no different. May I present Yuuna."
"Yuuna is young and inexperienced in being a servant to a noble, having just recently come into my service yet she is determined, eager and even loyal. She will make a great servant for you one day."
Seto was surprised at the least, he wasn't expecting this of all things, a maid? he knew nobility have maids but he wa going to have a maid or a servant? This was going to take quite some time to get used to. Seto gazed back at her, she looked like she would be determined and eager, he could see it in her eyes although, at the same time, something felt off like if he said something bad, she kill him with a dagger. Closing her eyes and tilting her head, she spoke in such a gentle, delicate and warm loving tone, that alone put Seto at ease.
"Lord Kurama, I am deeply honored to have been chosen as your personal servant. Although I am inexperienced, I will do whatever am capable of if it means fulfilling my sworn oath of you, I am honored to become the first servant of House Kurama. I will not fail you, my lord, whether it be helping you get dressed or assassinating one of your enemies."
Seto nodded to the Duke before he stared at the girl again, well he guessed it would be good thing now, she could help investigate area's, gather information or kill someone he needed to be eliminated, he would have to ask her of her skills later when they left the place but he was getting ahead of himself here. "Lady Yuuna, I am honored myself to have such a beautiful woman serving me, I can tell that you will be great help to me but I want you to know, you will never be a tool to me, anyone who proves themselves to me is more than equal to me in my books, I look forward to your company and your aid in the future."
Blushing slightly, Yuuna wept a tear, wiping it away with her finger before she bowed in front of him." Thank you, my lord, such words I do not deserve, I promise not to fail you."
With that Yuuna walked over and stood next to Seto, showing her loyalty to him as her servant now. Folding her hands together with her arms down on her apron she waited in silence for her next orders. Despite being grateful having a maid was something he have to get used to. The Duke coughed than he joined his hands together for a few claps of his hands before he spoke once more to Seto as a woman in blue armor walked into the room, she was definately a warrior, maybe a knight or a spellsword? Seto couldn't place his finger on it but he knew the Duke would tell him anyway.
"Seto, I have given you a servant, now my final gift for you will give you a housecarl, a warrior who will act as your sword and shield, I present Ursa
She is a veteran knight trained in the mastery of the blade and magic. I will not lie, I would not usually let a warrior go but unfortunately, Ursa has no future here due to......past events. Worry not she will serve you well faithfully and loyalty as she had to me. In fact, she hoped something like this would happen so she could regain her honor."
Two servants eh? Seto while a little surprised again, was fine with this, he definitely could use an extra hand in fighting or protect him when able. As far as he could tell, this was a bonus and as for her past, he didn't care as long as she stayed loyal to him no matter what although he was a little curious about her past. It didn't matter though since in a horrible way, she was sworn into in his service until either him or she died so he could ask her at any time and she have to answer. Ursa walked straight up to Seto as he sat in the chair, she kneeled before him with her blade drawn
