Chapter 17 - Knight Brook

' Alright, I've had enough of your persuasion. I will think about it and give you an answer later.

'You should take time to rest and visit Ivy. He is your younger brother after all. He has been in seclusion few days ago. He should be coming out by now '

**Boooom!!!...

A loud explosion shook everyone's ears as if responding to Kane's words.

' I will go now father. I might as well check up on this junior brother of mine along the way.' Typhir said as he left the hall in a hurry.

Countless thoughts flashed his mind as he headed towards Ivy's courtyard. Honestly, he no substantial relationship with Ivy. One of the reasons was his slight jealousy because Ivy is the youngest and most favored by their Father.

Moreover, he had not been together for long enough to actually form a familial relationship. The main reason was that he was suspicious of Ivy's true background as he had been completely different from his siblings and yet he had to believe his was part of them.

' I wonder what's going on over there?' he thought as he moved faster.

===============================

The sudden explosion raised an alarm for the surroundings as servants rushed about as they thought it was an enemy attack. Three guard squads appeared to vacate everyone from the vicinity to prevent careless casualties.

Amongst the guards was a knight covered in bronze armor. On his right hand held a bright red long sword having an oppressive presence as it moved through the air. He was the leader, Knight Brook.

On getting to the source of panic at Young Master's courtyard, a maid stood at the entrance like a guard. Brook ignored the maid as he moved towards the collapse building. Before he could move further, the maid blocked the way by casting a spell

##Water Wall##

Wushh...a two meter high water wall appeared between the guard and the maid.

' Move aside!! I need to check out the problem.' a coarse shout from Brook as he thought of attacking.

' I'm sorry, the master instructed me to not let anyone disturb his seclusion ' the maid responded in a calm tone as the oppressive presence of the knight weighed on him.

' I said move aside. Else, you would face harsh consequences. Heed my warning ' Brook warned, ready to move.

' I..I can't disobey the master's order. I hope you leave at once ' the maid also cautioned as his eyes turned blue, fully entering a battle state.

A battle may fall at any moment....

'STOP!'

A ghastly voice which seemed like it came from other worlds whispered into both Brook and the maid's ears blurring their minds for a few seconds.

' Young Seventh Master '

Brook was first to react, as he realed in shock of the unfathomable young man before him.

#splash..

Only until now had the maid recover as he smartly dispelled the water wall.

' Young Seventh Master, please forgive my rudeness. I was instructed by the Seventh Young Master to prevent anyone from disturbing his seclusion.

' Of course, you can check him personally if you wish. ' said the maid while bowing submissively.

' Leave this place immediately!' Typhir commanded barely giving the made a glance. His full focus was on the collapsed building as he eyes shone a brilliant color.

'Yes, Seventh Young Master ' were the maid's words as he straddle away not daring to hesitate.

*Seemed like much changed while I was away. The maids are not so ordinary anymore... With the thought in mind, he focused on the guard at his side. He asked,

' What happened here? Where is Ivy?'

' Reporting, an unexpected explosion occurred here. I and my squad rushed over to contain the harm possibly caused and manage casualties if any. Currently, there hasn't been any casualty however, the explosion was traced to Young Ninth Master's seclusion room. It is unknown his current condition.' Brook reported all that happened right from the explosion till now.

' Alright, go and survey the area. I will personally check on Ivy.' Typhir instructed as he moved towards the pile of rubble ahead.
