The system thought it knew Vili well enough, but now it realizes it was too naive.

"Host—aren't you a magician? How do you even know this!" it cried out.

Carefully digging it up from the roots, Vili carefully stored the wilted Moon Shadow Orchid into his system space, then stood up and patted the soil off his fingertips.

Upon hearing the system's words, he replied casually:

"Alchemy is also one of the courses of magic."

Vili, on the other hand, had no flaws in magic.

After saying that, he looked up at the darkening sky.

"It's almost dawn."

"Il, check the environment inside the castle and help me locate the landing point of the teleportation spell."

"...Yes!" The system immediately snapped out of its daze, unfolded the map, and said, "The host's room is empty, you can teleport."

Seeing that Vili was about to cast a spell, the system glanced at the white wolf on the ground, which was almost melting into the snow and had no breath left.

"Host, aren't we going to save it?"

"A wolf cub who doesn't understand human nature will only bring trouble if saved."

Vili glanced down lightly, then raised his eyebrows slightly, halting the release of magic.

He let the white fluff fall onto his shoulders, turning into water droplets on his long, slightly curled eyelashes, and a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes.

"woke up?"

A splash of icy blue suddenly appeared. The wolf cub opened its eyes with a whimper, but could only see the trouser leg of the person in front of it, standing motionless in the snow.

It tried to lift its paw, but it didn't even have the strength. It could only quietly feel its life slowly slipping away from its body.

Just as it was about to close its eyes, Vili's face flashed before its eyes.

A soft touch landed on its chin. With its last bit of strength, it placed its head in Willy's palm, nuzzled its cheek against it, and then lost consciousness again.

The system held its breath and saw the host's lips curl slightly upward.

"Look at that, doesn't it know how to be a pleasing dog?"

...I don't know why, but I feel like the host is really scary.

The system shuddered and silently reduced its presence.

“…Young Master…Wei…”

A faint shout came from afar, and Willy twitched his ears. The edge of his earlobe had a pointed curve, which was soft and rounded because of his youth, making it look unexpectedly playful.

The biggest advantage of becoming a vampire is that his five senses are much more sensitive than those of a human. At this moment, he could tell that the old butler was still several hundred meters away from him.

So when Deville arrived, Vili was already wearing his cloak and stood there, looking at him innocently.

"Young Master Vili!"

The old butler called his name, walked over quickly, looked him up and down several times, and finally breathed a sigh of relief when he confirmed that he was not injured.

He calmed his breathing slightly, and his serious brows furrowed.

“I must remind you that such actions are highly inappropriate. Your safety is the most important matter in the entire castle. What would Young Master Elijah and His Highness the Prince do if something were to happen to you?”

"sorry."

Vili reached out a soft hand from under his cloak, grabbed the butler's coat, and shook it gently. His ruby-like, pure and unblemished eyes flickered slightly.

"I shouldn't have kept it from you."

"But staying in the castle all the time is so boring... I'd like to have some free time, is that okay?"

"this……"

Deville had intended to refuse firmly, but looking into those eyes, he inexplicably opened his mouth:

"good……"

In the snowy night, the oil lamp's light was dim, yet enough to illuminate the path ahead. With a crunching sound as footsteps pounded the snow, a tall figure appeared behind a tree, enveloped in the fierce wind and snow.

The boy's steps were steady and light, yet they carried a subtle sense of pressure, breaking the strange atmosphere.

However, as he looked toward Vili, the storm stopped.

“…Young Master Elian, what brings you out here?” Deville shook his groggy head, feeling a headache for some reason. “What I said to Young Master Vili earlier also applies to you.”

Rather, as the only known descendant of the Hughes family, Elian's situation is far more dangerous than Vili's.

"Feel sorry."

Elijah nodded apologetically to him, but the next second he turned his gaze back to Vili, a hint of helplessness flashing in his eyes.

"But if I hadn't come, you would probably have been hypnotized by magic by now and agreed to all of Vili's demands."

"..."

The old butler stared wide-eyed, as if he couldn't believe his ears.

"Young Master Vili!"

The boy whose name he called lowered his head, seemingly embarrassed, but his lips turned down slightly.

Vampires are exceptionally skilled in charm magic, after all, it's a racial talent. And just now, the timing was perfect; on a whim, he wanted to try out their magic…

If Elian had arrived any later... tch.

Deville still found it hard to believe and asked Elijah for confirmation, "Are you sure you're not mistaken?"

"Young Master Vili has only been learning magic for less than half a year, how could that be..."

Elijah shook his head, interrupting him.

The boy took two steps forward and stood in front of Vili, his eyes softening unconsciously, yet carrying a hint of pride.

"He has that kind of talent."

It was usually masked by his laziness... Thinking of that pile of untouched homework, even Elijah didn't know what to say.

The Hughes family has never produced such a lazy vampire before.

But when Elijah thought that this person was his younger brother, he felt that these were just minor flaws that didn't matter much, and that they made Vili seem more vivid and lovable.
