It was in the middle of the night, in a large and magnificent mansion in the central district of the Kingdom of Stormrein. When a small explosion happened.

Crack!

The mansion of the branch family of the Tudor. On a large wall, a small red jade suddenly cracked and burst into pieces.

The jade's explosion was loud enough to make everyone in the mansion heard it and wake them in their sleep. Everyone in the mansion paled. They all knew what that sound was. The explosion was made by these type of jade, called 'Soul Jades'.

If one were to drop his or her blood on to the tiny red jade, the jade and the blood owner's soul will connect. If he or she were to die, the red jade will automatically crack and burst into pieces. Before the jade exploded, it had a mark 'Benedict Tudor' engraved into it. It was Benedict's Soul Jade.

A middle-aged man rushed toward the the source of the explosion only to see one of the Soul Jades missing. He shuddered and kneeled in shock when he saw blank section of the wall where Benedict's Soul Jade once was. He extruded intense heat that floor tiles below his feet were starting to crack.

"Who...who did it? My son. My son! Who killed my son?!"

He was Bernard Tudor. Benedict's father, the current King's uncle, and a high-ranking official of the Kingdom of Stormrein. He was also a max-level Fire Mage and one of the best in Stormrein.

"Shadow Guards, where are you?!"

A group of shadows appeared near Bernard and kneeled in front of him. They all broke a sweat from the intense heat. The all knew how cruel this man when angered. The shadows were slightly shaking in fear.

"We've seen Sir Bernard."

"Where is Benedict? Where did he go?!"

A tall man, who seems the be the leader of the Shadow Guard stepped forward.

"Reporting to Sir. Young Master Benedict left the mansion almost a three weeks ago, rushing on a horseback. He said that he, and his party, will conquer some Class B dungeon near the Sunless Twin-Plateau. Young Master had ordered us not accompany him in such trivial matters."

"Find his body! If we're not late, we can hire a Holy Priest in the Cathedral to resurrect him. Use everything in our disposable!"

"Yes, Sir!"

All of the Shadow Guards vanished in his line of sight. They didn't know that his son's body was incinerated into dust, not letting any Holy Priest to resurrect his body.

It had been three days since the battle near Rosario Village concluded. Yan, and his party, had already sold some of the items that they looted in the fight at the Adventurer's Guild with the help of Rosella. They manage to loot relatively high quality items and sold them at a higher price. The usually soul bounded weapons were auctioned and was flocked by many adventurers at Bree's Adventurer's Guild. All in all, they managed to gain a wealth at almost 18,000 gold coins. They felt very rich right now.

They did not sold all the items though. Yan personally used one of the 'Uncommon' cape while Rae had a 'Uncommon' cape and 'Rare' Staff. These items would be a great help for them at their current levels, specially for Rae.

They also bought a customised carriage at the best blacksmith in Bree. With the used of knowledge from his past life, Yan personally designed the carriage to his liking. It had a king size bed, a couch, and a storage cabinets for their utensils and kitchenwares. He bought the best cushion and textiles for their carriage.

The blacksmith used the best wood available in Bree's market and in nearby towns to be used in the making of the carriage.

The carriage almost costed Yan, and his party, a whooping total of 4,000 gold coins for its complex design and rushed order. But the blacksmith discounted the price because Yan taught the blacksmith the modern-day spring and shock-absorption system to make the carriage less wobbly on rough roads. It had now the cost of 2,500 gold coins.

At the top floor of the best inn in Bree, Yan was in his bed. By his side, two beautiful angels hugged his arms. They were Rae and Rosella. Yan threw Snow out of his room. With his new found wealth, he rented a separate new room for Snow. He did not want Snow to ruin his sinister plan tonight.

"Rosella, Honey. In the next two days, our customised carriage will be finished. After that, we will continue our journey."

Rosella only nodded with his words. She knew where this conversation is headed. She hugged him tighter and borrowed her face in his arms.

"Mm."

"All of us we'll leave this town at that time."

Yan casually said while kissing her forehead deeply. He didn't ask Rosella's opinion in these matter and overbearingly told her to leave with them. She smiled from his words. She loved his straightforwardness and slightly lifted up her face.

"Mm."

She was already his wife in her heart. Of course, she will follow him to the ends of the world. She loved him very much. Though they had yet to consummate their love, they already spent each night at each others arms.

"Good. Also, join our party."

"Mm. I already mailed my friends in the capital that I will be leaving the party to join yours. I also mailed my godfather that I will also be vacating my seat as Bree's Guild Master. In two weeks, the new Guild Master of the town will arrive here."

"Okay."

All of the sudden, Yan sat up straight in the bed. Rae and Rosella was startled by him. Rosella immediately asked. She also used her artefact to scan the whole inn for enemies.

"Honey, what's wrong?"

Yan stayed quiet and only looked at her in the eye. Rosella felt a slight fear in her heart from his stare. She bit her lips and meekly asked.

"Did I said something wrong?"

"No. It's just that because you're going to join us, I want to give you something as a reward."

Rosella let out a sigh of relief. It was not as serious as she thought. She was curious about the 'thing' he will give her.

"Um. What is it that you're going to give me?"

"My body."

"What?"

"I'm giving you my body."

Even with her smart and quick-thinking mind, Rosella was still confused by his words.

"What do you mean?"

"This."

Yan suddenly deeply kissed Rosella's thin red lips. The kiss was more intense than their past kisses. The intense kiss lasted over a minute and only then Yan separated their lips. Rosella's mind what still groggy by his intense kiss. It was only after Yan took off his shirt that Rosella realised what was about to happen.

She deeply blushed and looked at the other beautiful woman who was also in bed. It was at this moment that Rae realised what was going to happen. She also blushed deeply.

"But...but Little Sister Rae is still here."

Yan only smirked by her words.

"Don't worry, she will join us too."
