:::[Third Person POV]:::
All of the active personnel inside the spaceship with which Adam, Amelia, and Blanca traveled in were all professional and loyal to their Lord.
Their task was to make sure that Amelia the Lord's daughter and their guest Adam would have stress free trip, arriving safely at the main planet of the Raizel family.
The Lord talked to the captain himself and asked him not as a Lord but as a father to make sure that his daughter could take the Academy's test in good health.
"Captain, lady Amelia refuses to eat. She wouldn't open the door of her room," a mature-looking woman wearing an elegant maid outfit and had her hairs tied into buns reported to the Captain.
Hearing the maid's words, the Captain frowned as if he was thinking deeply about what to say next. His Lord had indeed tasked him to take care of his daughter but he didn't know what to do about such a problematic kid.
He was also afraid of upsetting Amelia which would make things complicated as he knew that the Lord dotted his daughter too much.
The captain sighed. "Okay, I will go talk to her," he mumbled and everyone inside for compartments sympathized with him.
These past few months, Amelia's attitude caused a lot of trouble not only for her parents but for everyone in her surroundings. Still, these people knew that Amelia wasn't like that before so they assumed that she was going through some kind of phase.
Unable to say anything, the maids and the other people working under the Tylliard family had to put up with Amelia's problematic attitude but as time passed by, it became harder for them to deal with her.
'How should I even deal with her when I don't even have a daughter? I can't even imagine what's going through her mind at times like this,' the Captain thought to himself as he made his way toward Amelia's room with a hard face.
The maids that followed him from behind didn't say anything but their feelings were written all over their faces.
Of course, they would put on bright smiles when they were in front of Amelia because it was their duty to do so.
No matter what Amelia did, they couldn't scold her and despite all that, some of them cared about Amelia. They remembered how much of a good girl she was before.
"Mm?" The Captain was suddenly surprised, looking at the silhouette of the individual who passed by the corner leading to Amelia's room.
"That was Lord Julius' son, right? Is he heading toward lady Amelia's room?" One of the four maids asked as if confirming if they all saw the same thing.
"..." The Captain didn't say anything and just increased his pace, however, they could only see Adam's silhouette entering Amelia's room after arriving upstairs.
"She let her in?" One of the maids commented and three other maids looked as surprised as her.
The captain, though, frowned after seeing what happened. He was concerned about the fact that two young people of different genders were now inside of a room alone.
From what he could see, Adam appeared to be a good man but he didn't know what he was trying to do by visiting Amelia inside of her room.
Tok! Tok! Tok!
"Lady Amelia, please open the door!" The captain knocked on the door multiple times but there was no answer. He couldn't even hear anything from inside the room.
He continued to call out Amelia's name for a while but no matter how many times he tried, he couldn't get a response from her.
Thinking that something weird must be happening, the Captain decided to force the door.
"Move back, I will use my power to open the door," the Captain said and the maids nodded at his words.
However, when the captain was about to gather the primordial particles inside his fist, he noticed there was something wrong.
'What's going on? I can't move.' The captain was confused because he never experienced such a thing before.
The maids were also puzzled after seeing the captain standing in front of them without moving.
But when they were about to ask the captain, the door opened and a young man came out of the room.
Adam closed the door slowly in a very neat way and stood dignifiedly in front of the captain.
"From what I can see, it appears that you have some issues handling our lady. Let me answer your questions," Adam said in a deep and imposing voice that was mysteriously pleasant to listen to. Moreover, even though the captain didn't ask anything, Adam looked like he already knew what he was thinking.
Looking at him, the maids could only hold their breath as his red crimson eyes looked down at them.
"Lord Tylliard personally asked me to discuss with Amelia and help her if needed. This is why I am here, and also because I am one of the few people that can understand what she is going through despite not being close to her. This is all you need to know since everything else is personal, and I will make sure that it stays that way unless Amelia decides otherwise," Adam said, then he deactivated his power.
By saying this, Adam made a point and everything that had happened appeared to be proving his point.
The Captain and the maids were confused by Adam's words but he immediately moved to the next topic.
"We will be having a proper dinner today. Amelia will be eating with me, so it would help if you include her favorite dish. I am sure you know what she enjoys. We will come to the dining area in thirty minutes, so could you prepare a table for us?" Adam continued without letting the captain or the maids interrupt him.
His presence was imposing but it wasn't like he was using some kind of threat. It was his attitude, his voice, and also the mystery around him that made the captain and the maids feel like they were in front of a Lord.
Since Adam began to talk, the thought that they were talking to someone who was the same age as Amelia didn't even cross their mind.
Still, the captain had some doubts, looking at Adam who appeared to be a Lord.
"Do I look like the kind of person that would do something as despicable as to lay a finger on Amelia?" Adam asked this question while looking the captain directly in the eyes.
The captain immediately felt the pressure of Adam's aura and understood that Adam wouldn't even need to lift his finger to kill him.
That was not of course Adam's intention, but for low-level gift holders and giftless people, his presence alone would make them feel pressured even if he wasn't acting.
Adam was tall and his muscles were perfectly balanced as they supported his body, giving him the ability to stand in a perfectly dignified and imposing manner when facing someone.
"No, Lord Adam. We will prepare your dinner," the captain said, knowing that a person like Adam wouldn't even care about someone as problematic as Amelia if it wasn't for the Lord's request.
"I appreciate that," Adam said and looked at the captain and the maids walking away then he entered Amelia's room again.
"I believe you heard that. I said that I would leave you alone if your behavior didn't bother anyone, but it looked like these people were having a hard time because of you. I wouldn't want the Raizel family to see such a thing," Adam said, and he based his deduction on the fact that smart people always observed the behavior of the personnel working under a certain someone to gather a lot of information about them.
"What? Why is that your problem?" Amelia retorted.
"Don't get me wrong. Like you, I only care about myself most of the time but I make sure that my actions don't cause problems for other people because that would make me look bad, and I don't want people to look down on me because I care about myself. What about you? Do you not have any self-respect? Well, you can answer that question alone, but for now, dress up, we are going to have a proper dinner," Adam continued.
"What? And who is she? When did she appear here?"
"I can do a lot of things that you can't even imagine. Her name is Cristal, she will help you dress up. If you want to be left alone, make sure that you do it elegantly like a noble lady. I will be waiting outside," Adam said and left the room.
"Who are you? Hey, don't touch me. I am not going anywhere." Amelia began to struggle as Cristal tried to take off her clothes.
However, two of Cristal's clones appeared and began to hold her down.
Amelia continued to scream and cry like a literal child, but the apathetic look on Cristal's face didn't change.
"Master, you can enter now," Cristal said after a while.
"If you think that what I am doing is bad, then you need to remember that your mother was crying. And if you don't feel anything after hearing that, then I will need to deal with you more seriously," Adam said and reached his hand in front of Amelia in an elegant manner.
He was, of course, referring to the fact that the corruption might have affected Amelia's mind when he said that last sentence, which would make things more troublesome.
