[Red District, ruling district of Lord Gigz]
"Yes… I understand… I'll send as many men as I can to look for her." Gigz said, with the telephone close to his ear.
His son, Luke, was watching from behind with his personal maid helping him massage his back while he rested his back on the chair.
"Not to worry, Vlad, your daughter will be found, I promise you that." Gigz responded, "I'll let you know if I hear anything".
Gigz placed the telephone back on its unit before sighing, "It's always one problem after the another. To think just the other day we were talking about the engagement".
"Father? Is something the problem?" Luke asked, he waved his hands which led to his maid leaving him and walking away.
Luke stood up from the chair and walked over to his father who still had a worried look on his face.
"You look worried father, I hope all is well?" Luke asked again.
"There seems to be a problem with the Vlad's Family… his daughter was kidnapped recently." Gigz exposed.
"What?!" Luke yelled dramatically, walking toward his father and grabbing his arms, "What do you mean she was kidnapped?".
"Exactly what I said, son." Gigz responded, forcefully pulling his arm out of his son's grip.
"Although I never told Duke his daughter was kidnapped, all I said was I'd find her. I feel bad but I did the right thing by not letting him know." Gigz continued, 'I know how deadly he can be'.
"Who… who was behind this?" Luke asked with an angry foreshadowed look on his face as he stood in one place.
"That is of no concern to you…"
"Father!" Luke yelled frustratedly, a wide range of fire spread from his feet and burnt everything around him.
"Calm down you Idiot, your outburst is not needed." Gigz uttered.
The fire around them immediately died down, "Father." Luke said calmly, "I don't think you understand… I love her, if anything were to happen to her…".
"Relax, you speak like you don't know your father, she will be found and I know exactly where to start looking for her".
.........…..
"Where is she?!" Vlad yelled, grabbing one of the butlers by the shirt as he frowned in anger.
Almost every worker that saw that sight was shivering in their knees. Vlad getting angry was a rare sight and always very scary once he does let loose.
"S..Sir, we have no idea where…"
Before the vampire butler could complete his reply, Vlad used the back of his palm to slap him.
He went flying halfway across the mansion and landed not too far from the door exit.
"You will find my daughter and bring her back at all cost, Do you understand me?!" Vlad shouted in anger.
"Y-Yes my lord." The butler replied instantly, bowing his head before running out of the room in fear.
Vlad walked over to the couch and sat down, resting his chin on his fist as he began tapping his feet on the ground impatiently.
'It's been two days already, where the hell did you go?!' Vlad thought to himself.
Rethinking possibilities that could have led to her leaving the vicinity. He initially thought she ran away because she didn't want to get married to Gigz's son. But he never knew Erza to be the kind not to speak her mind when she doesn't like something.
While he was in his state of thought, Christian walked into the room, dressed in a red robe and blue pajamas.
"I heard Erza is missing, I find that hard to believe considering she never leaves the mansion," Christian uttered as he approached his father.
"Hmmm… I tried to keep it from you, but I guess things don't slip from you easily." Vlad said with a weak smile.
"As much as I'd like to take that compliment, I had to hear that from an outsider… the news isn't as hidden as you might have thought." Christian revealed.
Vlad's eyes immediately glowed as he stared at Christian, "Are you saying we have a bug?" He asked.
"I can't say for sure, but I know something is going on and we have no idea what." Christian replied.
"We have a bug?" Vlad asked again.
This time Christian could feel the anger brewing up inside his father's tone, although his face appeared calm he was slowly starting to feel afraid.
"Father… I understand you are upset, and so am I, I have my men looking into it. I promise I'll get to the bottom." Christian stated.
"Do not let me down, Christian." Vlad said.
"Of course father." Christian said before walking toward the door.
Making the conversation short was the best option for Vlad and he made sure he had the right choice.
With each step he took, he could feel the gravity getting heavier as his legs sunk into the ground.
Christian peeped back to look at Vlad and was surprised when he noticed the ground behind him had been completely imploded with Vlad still sitting on his throne.
'First time I've seen father so worked up… I must admit' Christian said with an excited smile on his face, "It's very thrilling." He walked out of the room.
Christian walked out of the mansion to meet a red wagon packed in front of the house with a female elf sitting in the driver's seat.
'I didn't know my father had a guest today.' Christian said to himself as he walked towards the carriage.
The door to the carriage suddenly opened, with Erza's feet stepping out of the carriage before she fully showed her face.
Christian was shocked when he saw her, although this reaction wasn't for long.
His shocked expression was quick to turn into fear when a certain aura immediately leaked out of the carriage.
'What...What the hell is that?' Christian said to himself.
He carefully observed as Sato and Yuri stepped out of the Carriage and stood behind Erza.
Christian could sense Sato's aura, toxic and deadly that he couldn't help but move back a few feet. 'The hell is that?' He questioned.
With a sigh, Sato rubbed his shoulder, "Damn, that was a long journey." He said.
"Master, you never mentioned we were coming to such a place." Yuri added.
"I didn't? My bad." Sato said, his eyes suddenly locked with Christain, 'Well, now, let's get this over with'.
