Chapter - Dawn of the Dusk Castle
The private jet had a golden coating on it. It landed on the platform normally without any difficulty.
Febrica and Vincent came out from the [Dreamplane]
The name was given to this private jet by Febrica. Vincent knows the childish thoughts and characteristics of Febrica. He knows the personality of Febrica very well, and he liked it quite a bit. As Vincent came out from the plane after Febrica, his eyes rose upwards towards the sky. The sky was red in colour with grey clouds drifting in it.
If it was someone else, he or she would find it hard to adjust to the environment of the Dark Continent. He lived as well as survived in the Limbo, where he was like a cockroch.
"Let me digest it ... you technically came from the future, or your memories came from the future. And Shisui helped you with it. And he is still alive. And how did he do it?"
They were present on the roof of a castle. The castle had a black and maroon colour with intricate designs and patterns engraved on the walls. Febrica was looking at the black city as she said,
"It is the special ability of his Arringun. I'll tell you about it later. Before that, I have a special surprise for you."
Vincent was still binded with the purple chains, but he was able to run and walk. He was walking alongside Febrica. He has to admit that despite the dark and eerie look. The castle was beautiful in its own way. The castle was decorated with different kinds of furniture, paintings, and chandeliers like any other mansion. He was surprised to think that only three people lived in this large castle.
"This is the [Dawn of the Dusk Castle]. It's my first time here. It's really beautiful."
"Don't worry, you will get bored the more you live here."
Vincent noticed that the maids as well as gaurds were wearing cyan cloak. They entered the living room after coming down from the stairs. There, Vincent saw that a lady with long white hair in her forties was sitting on a red sofa drinking tea with a sip. But he doubted that she was really drinking the tea. In front of her, on the table, he saw a rotten hand holding a crystal ball. Vincent also noticed another woman with long white hair tied up to a ponytail staring at him from the corner of the room. Vincent sighed and thought, 'I don't know whether I'm in trouble or I'm the trouble here.'
"Hi, mom! I'm back! I also brought my Prince charming that you are also looking for!"
Vincent's face started twitching, but he couldn't able to do anything but sigh. He could feel that if these chains were removed, he would be thrown back in the Limbo.
Red Rose, mother of Febrica Rose, replied with a smile, "Welcome home, dear daughter. Also, it's been six years since we last met, Vincent. I remember that it happened at the last meeting I had with your father."
Both of them sit down on the other sofa opposite to Red Rose. The girl at the corner burst out with laughter,
"Hahahaha ... what happened to you. You looked hilarious in your condition ... hahaha."
Vincent replied, not bothered with the comment,
"At least, I'm still alive."
Febrica said with her casual smile,
"Please, sister Violet! Don't tease him too much."
Violet Rose, big sister of Febrica Rose, expression becomes serious as she said and sat beside her mother, "Seriously, how are you even alive ... "
Red looked at Vincent with her light red eyes, and a strong aura emerged from her body, which enveloped him. Vincent wasn't affected much from it. He was only sweating a little bit. The aura around him disappeared, and Vincent sighed. Red said while looking at Vincent from top to bottom,
"You have grown very much. But you are still naive. Why didn't you contact me."
"I thought that it's better not to contact you. Maybe you'll not be satisfied with my explanation."
"You are right. If it's not for Febrica, then I would never believe you. I wanted to ask two things from you. First, do you want to marry my daughter. She's agreed and I have no problem with it too."
Vincent blinked his eyes a few times and said,
"Uh ... Don't you think that it's too soon."
"Oh! I'm surprised to see that you are saying this despite knowing your condition. My daughter truly found a gem."
Vincent looked at Febrica and asked, "You really wanted to live your life with me."
Febrica started to look at Vincent like he was some kind of fool. Vincent was smart enough to know the answer. He said while sighing happily,
"Then, why me opinion matters ... "
Red replied with a sigh, "I wanted to know whether you have someone else in your mind and heart or not."
Febrica spoke out in a casual tone, "I doubt that he had another person in his mind, but even if that the case. I still wanted to live with you."
Vincent said while shaking his head, "Seriously, what did I do to leave such impression of me in you."
Red said as she put the empty cup on the table, "She didn't tell you. In her timeline, when she was naive and docile like other girls. You helped her. You saved her life many times and even trained her in many aspects ... but the weird thing is that you referred her as your master and always helped her while living in shadows. What you shinobies called it. Yes, shinobi code."
A genuine smile appeared on Vincent's face, and he said, "Well, at least. I was able to do my duty very well then ... "
"Oh! Don't be so happy. My timeline was a hell."
Febrica interrupted him as she said.
"By the way, what's the second thing you wanted to ask from me, lady Rose."
"Tell me after the ritual ... What exactly happened three years ago."
