The Seven Deadly Child
Back to House
"Good, all the toxins are neutralized." Theo.
This morning, Theo had finished manufacturing the medicine for Aria, the process of refining the medicine that he had originally expected to be completed quickly, it turned out to take a full night.
Despite having the entire ingredients, Theo still required a very intense caution in the process. Because each ingredient of the drug, is a rare material that will be very difficult to find again if there is a failure.
"Hmmm…. Besides all the things I've seen, what are you good at in any other field?" Aria asked curiously, after making sure the poison in her body was indeed completely clean.
"Ohh, now you're starting to admire me aren't you?" Ask Theo back. Tease Aria.
"You've forgotten it, assume I never asked." Grunts Aria was annoyed at Theo's overconfident attitude.
"Hahahhaha." Seeing Aria upset, Theo laughed happily.
"It looks like it's time we go back, did you find a clue that your guests left behind when checking around for a few days?" Ask Theo.
"Well, I found it. Clearly, he is alive. That's what I can assure you for now." Reply Aria.
"Ohh, what clues did he leave behind?" Ask Theo curious.
"Hmmm…. Don't expect me to tell you, it's a secret method that only our house will know." Reply Aria.
Hearing that, Theo did not try to ask again. It is taboo to ask the secret methods of the other House.
"Well, since there's nothing more we need to do here, it's better to get ready. We're going to travel back to the city of Alknight." Theo.
Moments later the two continued on their way back to the city. The return trip felt easier, because in addition to Theo still memorized the way well, special trinkets of Arsenic flowers were given by the craftsmen of the village hidden as a parting gift for the two, it was very useful to dispel most Spirit Beasts.

(House Alknight main hall)
"Lord, thank goodness you're okay!" Said Master Estro, the guardian elder of Aria, upon seeing Aria return safely.
He then immediately walked over quickly to Aria. Looks like he's gonna hug this girl. But Aria's sharp gaze immediately stopped her steps.
"Ahhh.pardon my disrespectful attitude this young lady!" Master Estro began to look clumsy realizing that his attitude was indeed inappropriate for an elder from a House as big as Braveheart.
"Hmmm…. Basic self-esteem worshipers!" Theo said reproachingly seeing the incident.
"What did you say?" Aria asked, glaring at Theo When she heard his reproach.
"I said self-respect worshiper, what do you want?" Answer Theo, with a flat expression.
"You dare?" Aria began to pull out her little knife again, staring intently between Theo's two legs.
Seeing that, the thing between Theo's two legs immediately began to creep again. "I told you, stop looking at me with that creepy look! And what are you always pulling out your knife for!" Jerk Theo.
"What are you still asking for? Once again yelling at me, I'll cut that filthy thing right now!" Jerak Aria back. His eyes are getting creepy.
When Theo and Aria began to argue, everyone in the main hall who heard the debate of the two, whether it was the elders of the Alknight House, as well as the representative members of the Braveheart house, were among them, started staring at each other with awkward looks.
"Dirty things?"
"Cut off?"
Looking at Aria's gaze, Master Estro began to repeat every awkward word Aria spoke. His gaze was blank for a while, rejecting whatever came to his mind.
Then after a while, he began to look at Theo with a gaze full of anger.
"I should know you're a depraved boy who can't be trusted!" Snapped Master Estro, his aura began to leak.
Seeing that, Theo took one step back. He knew, in this situation, he would not be able to explain anything properly to the elder before him. All explanations would be misunderstandings.
"Master Estro, watch your attitude! If he had done what you thought, he might still be healthy and alive as he is now!"
"Are you planning on tarnishing my good name?" During this crucial situation, Aria suddenly spoke up to put a damper on the situation.
The aura of Master Estro immediately re-eased when he heard the words of his young Miss. "Young lady, that's not what I mean!" He said he was starting to panic.
"Have..! Shut up!" Jerky Aria.
"Good!" Master Estro replied briefly, starting to incline back again entering the ranks. But occasionally he still stared at Theo who was next to Aria.
When the situation had subsided again, Theo who could breathe a sigh of relief could only whisper in thanks to Aria.
"Don't thank me, our business isn't done yet!" Aria said coldly, when she heard Theo's thanks.
Theo was about to reply to Aria's words, but his words came to a halt as he heard the main hall's door open loudly.
*Braaaack……
"Basar brazen son!" Suddenly a loud voice sounded. As soon as the door opens.
"You said you'd only do closed-door training in a safe place! But in fact, you've instead gone to the very dangerous inner region of the Frozen Pine Forest!"
"And again, only alone without a bodyguard!" The Lord Arduric. Now he walked into the main hall with wide strides, accompanied by Bosweric next to him.
Unlike the reaction of Master Estro who looks very relieved and grateful when he sees Aria back, Lord Arduric's reaction when he first sees Theo is to abuse her.
"Ahhh. father, it's not so…"
"Shut up! Isn't that what? I've heard everything that's happened from Master Estro!" The snapped Lord Arduric cut out Theo's words.
"Uncle.." Seeing that his father was furious, Theo turned his gaze towards Bosweric, putting on a slight parched expression. Hope to get a defense.
"Why did you see me? What you did was wrong! You sloppy brat!" However, instead of giving a defense, Bosweric even berated Theo.
"Bright…." Feeling that there was no way out, Theo could only sigh. Start preparing his mentality. He knew he would soon get a slur of advice and mockery for hours after this.
On the other hand somehow he also felt warm in his heart, feeling that these two people cared about him. He knew they were just worried and worried.
Moments later, shortly after the curse of his father and uncle somewhat subsided, another hurried step sounded from the direction of the main hall entrance.
Jasia and Kalina seem to be trying to break through the guard, while the guards who know that these two girls have a close relationship with Theo, do not dare to be too rude. This finally allowed the two to barge into the main hall.
And when these two girls saw Theo who was in the middle of the room…
"Sir Theo…!" Kalina shouted excitedly.
Contrary to Kalina, Jasia began to cry. Without saying a word, he then ran towards Theo, hugging her tightly.
"Young master, thank goodness you're okay." Jasia said in the middle of her crying in a position to hug Theo.
Theo who was surprised by Jasia's rather excessive attitude, became clumsy and did not know what to do, reflexively finally he could only hug back the girl.
However, Theo was unconscious. Aria who was right next to him, now started to pull out her little knife again. Simultaneously, an extremely cold aura leaked from his body. He looked at Theo who was hugging Jasia, with a deadly look.
