Blazing Wood family Castle, Silia Town
Far from Dian, another discussion was going through regarding him.
A grand castle stood straight beside the hills and mountains. It's shadows falling on nearby houses.
Anyone can distinguish it from other castels. It's striking red and white colour giving it a different advantage, surrounded by different kind of flowers. Enhancing it's beauty.
Inside, two figures were present in a grand hall. One sat on a couch deep in thoughts, other one stood beside him straight.
Jiro Blazing Wood, Lord of the Blazing Wood family. Beside him, his buttler and advisor Hath.
" My lord, the letter is delivered successfully. By now they must have read it ". Hath Spoke, his voice low.
Jiro didn't speak for a moment, 'Hmmm' after a long breath. " Good". He spoke, a single word.
His voice confused as if still calculating the pros and cons of his decision. He and Hath were the only one in the Blazing Wood family who knew about the nullification of engagement.
" My lord, if you allow me. Can I ask something ?" Hath Spoke his tone carefull.
" Ask ". Jiro spoke his concentration still on the table in front, his mind deep in thought.
" Was it really necessary ?" Hath asked. " Is it a right decision to null the engagement with Th Skyster's ?"
For the first time he lifted his head, looked towards his buttler and stood. " Do you know how many elements Marcia have awakened ?". He asked.
" Hm? Yes. Young miss have awakened a total of 3 elements. And there are chances her element can evolve too. She is the pride of Blazing Wood family ". Hath answered his chest puffed out, his voice laced with pride.
Yes, Marcia. Her full name is Marcia Blazing Wood. She is the daughter of Jiro. At the age of 16, she awakened 3 elements which was rare but she could even evolve them that was extremely rare, extinct even.
"Hmm, correct". Jiro spoke as he made his way towards a big window in the room. " She is a gifted one, for last 3 centuries our family didn't had anyone with 3 elements".
" She has great potential which can lead our family to new glories. We can even surpass The Skyster's ". A smile tugged his lips as he spoke.
" And". Hath completed his sentences. " The Skyster's future is still unknown. Nobody knows if their young Lord is dead or alive after that poison event".
A long silence followed, but Hath has already gotten his answers. Even if the Skyster family is strong. After their Lord is dead. It will diminish. They have no future. Hath thought.
But they didn't knew, the one they were thinking probably dead was right now enjoying cherries.

Skyster Family's Main Castle, Silia Town
Wha-..... What.. am I supposed to feel about this.. ? Jones, Dian's buttler thought.
It wasn't like he was inexperienced, he saw many different scenes, things and people. But this was the first he felt like this.. utterly speechless.
Infront of him, Dian sat on his chair behind the grand table. Suzine fed him the cherries he asked for a while ago.
But why does Lord told her to sit on his lap.. ! He just received news regarding his engagement being broken. But instead of feeling sad or depressed. He is enjoying himself... ? The buttler thought as he witnessed the scene.
He has changed.... But... it's good. A warm sensation fills buttler's heart as he saw Dian's smile. It's been 5 years since he genuinely smiled.
Dian on the other side enjoyes himself. He asked for cherries a while ago and specially from Suzine.
Now, on his lap as she fed him. Every time she feeds him. Dian sucks her fingers too.
Suzine on the other side continues to feed him her flutters everytime he speaks in her ear. Her heart beating strongly in her chest.
She smells like jasmine. Dian thought as he sniffs around Suzine's neck.
Suzine flinched as she felt his breath around her neck. Her face bloomed red, cheeks burning from the sensation.
"Y-young l-lord, I-it tickles ". Suzine spoke, her barely a whisper.
" Hmm, Suzine tell me ". Dian spoke. " How about you come to my room tonight". His voice soft, sweet like honey.
Suzine's heart skipped a beat or two as she heard him. A shiver ran through her spine as she imagined herself in his room at night.
She didn't even realise as a smile tugged on her lips. With a slow motion she nodds.
Dian just stared at her, his heart starts beating fast as he saw her smile. A literal goddess.... Dian thought.
Standing infront of the table, the buttler 'uhuh' clears his throat as he saw things going out of hand.
Suzine grabbing the situation stands from Dian's lap. " I-i am s-sorry young lord, I have other things to do".
And with that she leaves, the moment she lefts the room. She runs hiding her flushed face.
Enjoying the interaction, A smile tugs on Dian's lips. I am looking forward for the night.
As he notices buttler looking towards him, he straightens up. " Hm, so? What is it buttler ?". Dian asked.
The buttler come close to the table. " Young Lord, what are you going to about the engagement nullification". Buttler asks.
" There's nothing to do buttler". Dian puts his both elbows on the table as he spoke. " They nulled the engagement and that's it and as for the compensation."
He rises from his seat. " Deny them, they can't compensate the Skyster family". His expression gets serious as he speaks.
Buttler bows as he spoke. " As you say, Young Lord".
Dian leaves the room as things concludes. Outside the room, he makes his way outside the castle.
Even though it's been two days since he reincarnated, he didn't left the castle.
After taking some turns and going through the hall. He comes outside the castle. And it was breathtaking....
A straight path leading towards the main road infront, it's beauty enhanced by the flower beds at both sides.
Beside it, gardens of diffenent flowers. Fountains enhancing their charm and beauty. And in the middle, a tea house.
" Hey system, are there something else that you can do ?" Dian asks as he makes his way towards the tea house in the middle.
He speaks naturally as there was nobody else beside him here.
