Ilario went out of the Jewelry store with Letitia.

“Could you recommend any great weapon shop in this area, Sister?” Ilario asked Letitia.

“I recommend one, their shop is small but their weapons are good quality,” Letitia said.

Letitia led Ilario to a weapon shop that she mentioned to, it was located on the outskirts of city.

“Welcome…ah Lady Letitia. What are you looking for?” A shop owner asked, he was in his late thirties, big, high muscle, skin head, brown beard, brown eyes, he was friendly with Letitia.

“No, it’s not me. It’s Young Lord of Fortis who want to look for the great weapon. So, I brought him here,” Letitia said.

“Oh…Welcome, Young Lord” a shop owner said politely in his style.

Ilario looked around but nothing caught his eyes, most of weapons here were looked too flashy like the display. Although it was good quality but still less quality than his dagger knives.

Ilario thought that he might not get anything from here. Letitia was talking with a shop owner. He went to Letitia for telling her to go out of the shop. Unexpectedly, he saw many dagger knives that looks like his dagger knives. There were also other weapons that resembled the style, the unique design of serrated and curved shape. It showed clearly that the same person made these weapons.

“Excuse me, did you make these weapons by yourself?” Ilario asked a shop owner, he pointed at the corner where the weapons were placed.

“Oh…No, it was not me who made it. A merchant who is my acquaintance asked me to help him to sell them but they are not popular here because of the price are so high,” a shop owner said.

“I will buy them all. Would you please contact that merchant for me?” Ilario asked him.

Both of shop owner and Letitia were surprised.

“Ah…yes, I will tell him to meet you, Young Lord. He will take all of these weapons together with him to the castle,” a shop owner said.

“Thank you,” Ilario said.

Ilario and Letitia went out of the weapon shop.

“Why did you buy those weapons?” Letitia asked curiously.

“Those weapons made from Dwarves, its quality was higher than the other weapons in that shop 5 times. Do you want one? You can choose the one you like, it can help you kill monsters easier,” said Ilario happily, he satisfied with the weapons and he could find a clue of the dwarves.

“You’re very strange,” Letitia said.

“Is it hard for you to just complement me?” Ilario asked.

“Yes, it is.” Letitia said calmly.

“…Anyway, have you heard a secret that I’ve told The Draco Knights? I would like you to practice the same way but concentrate on Healing Magic Power. Did you know that it can automatically activate?”

“No, I’ve never heard about it,” said Letitia surprisingly.

“Most of the experimental monsters and monster lords have high level of dark magic power and poisonous ability. You need to practice Resistance, Recover and Instant Heal more often. It can help you to protect yourself instantly from any poison, dark curse, and injury but you have to practice hard. Activate these powers everyday until it had engraved on your instinct. Try to make yourself exhausted from using magic power everyday, your magic capacity and abilities will be increasing rapidly. Our bloodline is really incredible, Sister” said Ilario seriously.

Letitia were dumbfounded by his word. The information was something beyond her knowledge and imagination. She was a perfectionist in theory but she could not develop her abilities that were beyond her belief. He must guide her first and she can do the rest by herself, she was quite talent.

A week later, Ilario was recording the result of training of The Draco Knights. He must improve them one by one according to their progress.

‘Knock’ ‘Knock’

“Come In” Ilario said.

“You have a guest from a weapon shop, Young Lord” Curtis said. He led Ilario to the reception room.

“Ah…you, oh, I apologize for my rudeness. My name is Noe, a merchant. It’s a pleasure to meet you, Young Lord” said a merchant, whom he met at the Artis.

“Please take a seat,” said Ilario calmly, “I didn’t think you’re the one I’m looking for.”

“Did I do something wrong, Young Lord?” Noe asked, he feared without reason.

“No, you did nothing wrong. I called you because I like these weapons,” said Ilario pleasantly. “Did you make a deal with the dwarves who made these weapons by yourself?”

“Yes, Young Lord” Noe said.

“I would like to hire them. Could you contact them for me? I’m not asking you for free,” said Ilario calmly. “ah…but I don’t like people who want to deceive me.”

“Umm…It’s not the money problem, Young Lord. They are quite unique in many ways,” said Noe hesitantly.

“Where are they? Is it a secret?” Ilario asked curiously.

“They have the weapons shops at Multa, it’s located near Ferrarius Mountain where the dwarves were staying,” Noe said, “and a dwarf who made these weapons is really hard to deal with.”

“Do I have to go with you?” Ilario asked.

“It’s not that necessary. He welcomes everyone but he has his way to choose his customers by himself,” Noe said.

“All right. Could you give me the details? In exchange, I will allow you to be one of our merchants. What do you think?” Ilario offered him a great deal. Noe has a reputation of being a good merchant. He likes his honest attitude.

“Of course. That’s a great offer. Thank you, Young Lord” said Noe happily. He gave all the information to Ilario.

“I will let you talk to Curtis about the right of our merchant,” Ilario said.

Curtis came inside the reception room after Ilario called him.

“Take all of these weapons to The Training Arena and talk to him about the right of our merchants,” Ilario said to Curtis.

“Yes, Young Lord” Curtis said.

Ilario went to Lucifer’s working room.

‘Knock’ ‘Knock’

“Father, it’s me.” Ilario said.

“Come in,” Lucifer said.

Bellatrix was also sitting inside the room. Ilario had a sense that she will not allow him to do what he wanted to do but he did not want to lose a chance.

Ilario reported Lucifer everything that he talked with Noe.

“Ah…I’m going to tell you about this matter as well. Our people has failed to recruit the dwarves. They refused and said nothing about the reason,” Lucifer said.

“If you’ll allow me, I would like to talk to them by myself, Father” Ilario said.

“No, it’s too dangerous. And we have to go to the capital in the next 2 weeks,” said Bellatrix firmly.

“Mother,” Ilario expressed his eyes like Beatrice, he knew that he was not cute like her but Bellatrix could not resist the cuteness of her children.

“I think he can take care of himself. Let him go, Belle” said Lucifer kindly.

“But you must go with Letitia, Eli” Lucifer said.

“Yes, Father” Ilario said.

“When did you leave? When will you come back?” Bellatrix asked, her voice was gentler after she saw his eyes.

“I will go tomorrow. I think I could finish everything within 3-5 days, Mother” said Ilario nicely.

“All right, take care of yourself.” Bellatrix said, she hugged and kissed him on the cheek before he left.

Ilario went to The Training Arena.

“I have urgent business for the next 3 days. You are allowed to rest,” Ilario said. “I have new weapons for you to test. You will know its ability after you wielded and cut something. Select one that you like.”

Ilario selected a sword for Letitia. It was a sword that everyone had no interest but it was a best one among them. Its shape was unique, the blade was curved-shape, sharp point, one sharp edge, the guard’s shape had designed for being able to use for supporting the attack. Its design was totally different style from her sword, but even so, she will like and use it well.

“Try to use this sword. It’s the best among them,” said Ilario firmly.

Ilario attacked her. She blocked his attack and attacked him back, her slash was more sharp and wider. She used a new sword smoothly.

“See? You’re going to love it,” said Ilario proudly.

“Aha…I quite like it. It was easy to use. Thank you,” said Letitia calmly.

“Did you really like it, sister?” Ilario asked. He wondered because her expression was too calm.

“Yes, I do like it. Why did you ask?” Letitia asked.

“Um…All right. It’s good that you like it,” Ilario said.

Ilario went to play with Beatrice, he must tell her about his business trip. It was hard to tell her because it was her routine to play with him.

“Brother,” said Beatrice energetically.

“Do you want to play outside, Bia? Do you want to ride on Luna?” Ilario asked Beatrice kindly.

“Yes, Bia would like to ride on Luna.” Beatrice smiled happily.

Ilario planned to play with her first and tell her about his business trip later.

Ilario activated “Invisible”. Beatrice was riding on Luna, she was very happy because she did not ride on Luna since she was focus on magic training for the past months. Ilario was riding on Solaris. We were riding around the castle.

We went back to the garden for taking some rest after Beatrice enjoyed herself enough.

“Did you have fun?” Ilario asked Beatrice, he must find a chance to tell her.

“Yes, Bia loves riding on Luna,” said Beatrice cheerfully.

“Brother, Luna, Solaris and Sister Letitia will go to business trip for 3-5 days, …” Ilario said but he could not finish his words.

“Ahhh….No,” ‘sob’ she cried.

Ilario hugged and held her in his arm.

“Don’t cry. Brother will hurry to come back, Okay?” Ilario calmed her, “Ava and Vita will stay and play with Bia.”

“He’s right. We will play with you,” Ava said.

“Don’t cry. Don’t cry,” Vita said.

Ava and Vita also tried to calm her.

“But Brother is not here,” ‘Sob’ ‘Sob’ she was sobbing.

“I will come back as soon as I can. I promise,” said Ilario kindly. “Would you like to get something? I will buy everything for you, Bia.”

“No, Bia would like Brother to stay here with Bia,” said Beatrice, she was crying nonstop.

“I will buy many cakes from that shop for you, Okay?” Ilario talked about her favorite dessert to calm her.

‘Sob’ ‘Sob’ she was still crying. The cakes have no meaning for her now.

“Don’t cry,” said Ilario kindly, he kissed her on the forehead and hugged her. He said nothing and waited for her to calm by herself while hugging her all the time.

Beatrice cried until she started to sleep, she hugged Ilario tightly.

Ilario was holding her and went back to the castle. He met Bellatrix on the way.

“What’s happened?” Bellatrix asked with worry.

“I told her about my business trip…” Ilario said.

“Oh my! I will look after her,” Bellatrix said, she relieved her worry. She took Beatrice from Ilario.

“Thank you, Mother” Ilario said.

He went back to his bedroom and prepared himself for the trip tomorrow. He will buy many pieces of cakes for Beatrice when he came back.

Beatrice was a hidden boss whom he can’t defeat but to give a lot of love to her.
