Verse was hiding his rank so Zick couldn't tell what rank he was at.

But Zick already knew about Verse from the ; he was one and only master swordsman in the Garcia family.

Meeting Verse made Zick remember another incident that will happen in the future. He was the one who caused the downfall of the Garcia family.

Shaking his head, Zick threw this thought at the back of his head.

'.....lets just look for the mythical beast now'

For baiting the mythical beast out, Zick had to go in a little open place first.

Going out of his room, he started walking in a random direction on the corridor. Walking like this for a while he came across some maids cleaning the dust on the table.

Going towards them, Zick started speaking with a plain tone.

"Do you know the way to the garden?"

The maid was surprised when she heard Zick's voice suddenly, looking at Zick who had a smile on his face unlike the plain tone. The maid could tell that he was an important guest from his appearance.

"Yes, would you like me to guide...."

The maid said while bowing towards Zick.

"No, just tell me the directions"

Zick cut off the maid's word and then listened to her explaining the direction.

Not bothering with the maid anymore, Zick followed the direction he was given.

After 2 minute, Zick stood in front of a garden which was filled with flowers and well kept plants. Sitting upon the gazebo in the middle of the garden Zick took out one of the wine bottles from his space ring.

Opening its lid, he let the fragrance of the wine spread to his surroundings. Keeping the wine bottle beside himself, He waited for the mythical beast to appear.

Luckily for him, Even before 30 seconds had passed he heard a sound.

"meow~"

Without noticing a black cat with blue eyes was sitting beside him where the wine bottle is in. Staring at the wine bottle fixedly the Cat tried extending its paw.

"What are you doing?"

Zick asked with a smile but internally he was very surprised, it was just like how it was described in the , he couldn't sense the presence of the cat at all.

"Meow~"

Acting cute the cat tried to nestle into Zick's legs.

"Well let's stop and make a deal, I already know that you are a mythical beast"

Patting the cat, Zick talked with his usual smile. He knew about the cat quite a bit, it would act nicely as long as you give it wine and if there is no wine it will totally ignore you.

The cat could not steal someone else's possession as it has made a contract with the ancestor of the Garcia family.

"sigh...young people these days...what do you want and can you stop smiling? For some reason it makes me....."

The Cat started Speaking while letting Zick pat on itself.

'What about my smile again...? hmm.....whatever'

"I want a prophecy about me"

The cat shakes its tail in surprise hearing Zick speak. Turning its head it stared at him with its vertical pupil.

"so you want a prophecy...well it's alright i can tell you one about yourself"

Satisfied with the cat's answer, Zick brought the wine bottle in front of the cat. Catching it from both of its front paws, the cat started drinking the wine with vigour.

"meow!"

Meowing in satisfaction, The cat drank the whole bottle like it's a supreme delicacy.

"Really, I thought of you as a bad person but you are actually a good person right? these bastards! they don't give me any good wine like this at all!"

Smiling towards the cat, Zick waited for it to start saying the prophecy.

"It's that smile again, stop it really..."

The cat stopped mid sentence again. Zick didn't bother and just waited.

"Well hear me closely I won't say it twice...phew it's been a while since I used this ability"

Closing its eyes, The cat concentrated upon something. When it opened its eyes again, it was shining brightly.

"....when blood flows from a dead body....the monster shall awaken.....within....alas something broken is broken in the end..."

It almost felt like it was talking to itself. After saying this, its eyes stopped glowing.

'When the blood flows...and the monster too... which monster exactly...? something broken? Is it talking about the dragon heart?'

The prophecy which the protagonist had gotten was also vague like this. Zick thought of all the monsters which are attracted to the blood.

'is it a vampire....? or the blood devil..?'

The devil are the elite forces of the demonic race who have enough strength to fight multiple peak rank knights. The blood devils are also a part of this elite force, this species has the most tendency to slaughter people and they are the most attracted to the smell of blood.

When Zick thought of this, His mood worsened.

'There is no way i can defeat a devil right now...no I will be killed before I even move if I fought against it now'

Calming himself down, Zick could feel two reptilian eyes staring at him.

"Well I will be..."

"Wait"

Taking out another wine bottle from his ring, Zick waved it to the cat with a smile on his face hiding what he was feeling.

"What..."

"Do you want it??"

".....What do you want human kid"

The cat asked with a helpless tone.

"I want you to protect me until the end of the ceremonial party, of course you don't have to fight for me you just have to protect me if someone wants to harm me"

".....you want me to protect you?"

The cat asked with wide eyes.

"yes"

Zick answered swiftly.

'if it takes only a wine bottle to get the protection from a mythical beast then it's totally worth it even if its temporary'

Zick just wanted to be cautious if anything happened to him at the party. In the end, he didn't know anything about this party which made him wary of a lot of things.

"okay, I shall form a temporary contract with you"

Climbing Zick's leg, the cat extended its paw and placed it on his stomach.

"I shall vow upon the covenant made with the Garcia family that I shall protect you till the end of the ceremonial party...are you satisfied now?"

Zick could feel a mysterious connection between him and the mythical beast. Nodding his head, he passed the wine bottle to the cat.

"....I don't know what I should even say about you.....even your soul is....weird"

'ohh....it could sense my soul?'

"How does it look?"

Zick asked with an interested tone.

"I don't know.....everything about you is twisted sigh..."

Sighing for some reason the cat's tone had pity in it. Taking up the wine bottle it started drinking it ignoring Zick's gaze.

'What about me is twisted? I might be the most normal person in the world, hmph!'

Scoffing upon what the cat had said in his head, Zick thought of what he should do in these three days. There are still three days before the ceremonial party starts.

"hmm...what are you doing?"

The cat curled up on his leg and started sleeping.

"What?  you are the one who asked me to protect you"

Hearing this Zick felt weird.

'Is it going to come with me everywhere....?'

Though it made Zick less worried about any danger, it still would be bad if the Garcia family knew of the contract, they might even misunderstand it.

"Don't tell anyone about the contract between us, okay?"

"sure"

Answering him lazily, The cat closed its eyes.

After hearing its answer, Zick also took out one of the books from his ring and started reading it.

the books title was-
