Sofia's POV

"Dad, do I really need to bring these things?" I looked at several pieces of equipment and potions on the ground and said to my father.

Lucius nodded with a stern face. Although he looks strict. His eyes were filled with care while he was looking at this daughter.

"You know how dangerous the secret realm is. Plus your boyfriend might also need them."

Lucius added with a teasing smile.

I looked at my father shyly and looked at the ground. "I'm not"

Lucius looked at his daughter who was quietly fiddling her fingers.

"Don't deny it, I'm your father. I knew you since you were a kid.

I turned my head and meet my father's eyes and asked. "Then won't you oppose it?"

My father walk toward me and patted my shoulders. "No, as long as you are happy. And I knew that you would be in a capable man's hand. Don't worry, in this world, there won't be any man who could resist my daughter."

I felt happy inside after hearing my father's approval. And embarrassed at the same time at his last words."I'm not!"

"HAHAHAHA" Lucius laughed loudly looking at his daughter's embarrassed appearance.

"But does he already know your feeling?"

Lucius's face became serious in an instant.

"No, not yet," I responded quietly.

"Well, you have to be fast. A man like him wouldn't lack female admirers. It would be too late if others see their gaze on him.

I suddenly felt nervous inside. A sense of urgency suddenly appeared in my heart.

"He won't look at others, because I'm already here." I ran quickly outside after leaving this sentence.

My father looks stunned after hearing my bold claim.

Lucius looks at his daughter's leaving back. "Did you hear her Alfred? My daughter has finally grown up."

A silhouette of middle age man suddenly appeared in the quiet corner. "She really did."

Alfred as Sofia's butler, he had witnessed her grow since she was a child. Now seeing her leaving such a bold sentence. He knew that her young mistress would soon enter a period and become a woman.

"So how about it, haven't you thought about my offer yet? You are already old." Lucius said with a hint of sadness in her voice.

Albert shook his head and didn't reply.

Lucius shook his head with regret. "Forget it, just let me know if you change your mind."

...

Sofia saw Fein sitting leisurely at her site. Suddenly she felt dizzy and saw her surroundings change. A confused look appeared on her face. Because she suddenly appeared at the place where Fein was sitting.

'What happened!?' A panic look appeared on her face. She began to look at Fein who suddenly disappeared.

*Pfffftt!*

Sofia saw Fein who was trying hard to hold back his laugh.historical

"You're reaction is cute." Fein glance at the cowardly reaction of Sofia.

Sofia pouted after realizing that she was played. "Hmmph I would get back at you someday."

Fein shuddered after seeing Sofia looking at him deeply.

"Hehe... no need to be so serious, I was just kidding" Fein tried to change the topic.

"How did you do that? Sofia stood up on the chair and asked Fein with curiosity. "Is that teleportation ability?"

"Yeah, sorry for that what happened earlier. I was just how you would react to a prank. But now I know" Fein pinched his nose to prevent his laugh.

Sofia rolled her eyes in annoyance. "If it was not you, I have already kicked the ass of whoever tried that to me."

Fein chuckled and sat beside her. "By the way, what's the name of the tea earlier? I like it."

"Oh did you mean this?" Sofia held the coconut shell in her hands. "Eh? Did you drink it?"

Fein nodded. "Why?"

Sofia's reddened. "That was mine,"

"Well, I see no problem." Fein shrugged casually and looked at Sofia with his innocent eyes.

"Y-you" Sofia's head was in a mess at this moment.

She had taken a sip at that, didn't that mean that they have kissed indirectly?

"By the way, where's your butler?"

Fein was curious because he didn't see Alfred during his visit last time, and now even his silhouette was nowhere to be seen.

Hearing Alfred's name being mentioned. Sofia who was in her own world woke up. Her face became sad.

Seeing Sofia's reaction, Fein became worried. "Did something happen to him?"

"No, it's just he doesn't want to become one of us."

"Do you mean vampire?"

Sofia nodded in response to Fein's question. "Father already tried to convince him, but Uncle Alfred didn't want to. He was already like a family to us. And my father treats him as a younger brother."

"Why doesn't he want to?"

"It's related to his family, and he doesn't want to live longer than necessary." Sofia shook her head.

Fein was speechless. Although he knew that some people don't treat immortality as a blessing. He didn't know that there would be some who would dislike longevity. Isn't good to live longer. But yeah, he was aware that everyone has something going on in their life that influences how they look at certain things. A person's belief may not necessarily be appropriate for others. He respected that. After all, there's really nothing absolute in this World. No one can dictate what is right or what is wrong except for the creator. Just like how a certain thing is wrong in one culture but sacred in its counterpart. In this World where, those who have the bigger fist wins, couldn't be more true. Fein won't necessarily interfere with other people's business if it doesn't concern him.

Just like Albert who probably has a different view of immortality. Such as, immortality is a curse? After all, if you look at it from another perspective you will find it reasonable.

Who would want to see their loved ones passed one by one? Who wants to see their family and friends wither slowly and witness them die? You would feel lonely right? You would feel numb right?

You can also get bored with something when you have experienced it thousands of times. Just like how eating the same thing every day. It would make you sick that you don't even want to see it anymore.

Such is the sorrow of an immortal man.

Well, a man's sorrow is another man's blessing.

Because there would probably be a person who can endure those things. A person who was selfish enough and have a will that was comparable to Fang Yuan of Reverend Insanity. That's why there's no absolute in this World.
