"That is not for us to worry about. Just let the Family Head know that she has returned."

As soon as the servants witnessed Ruby\'s return, a great commotion ensued. Many felt relieved that she was back, especially since the Patriarch had already warned them.

He had blamed them for failing to prevent his daughter from running away, threatening punishment if she was not brought back soon.

Now that she had returned, most of the servants could breathe a sigh of relief.

The estate manager hurried through the grand halls of the estate, as if his life depended on it. He knew the Family Head would want to be informed immediately of Ruby\'s return.

The only thing that concerned the manager was the possibility that the Patriarch might be in a meeting, which could mean he would have to wait to deliver the news.

However, as approached the place where the meeting was supposed to take place, he was surprised to find the Patriarch waiting outside the meeting hall for some unknown reason.

"Family Head, your daughter has returned," he announced, trying to keep his voice steady. "She has come back, but the others who were sent to retrieve her are not with her. There is also an unknown man accompanying her."

The estate manager waited anxiously, wondering how the patriarch would react to this news. Was he going to be happy that she was back? Or was he going to rush back to her to punish her for running away in the first place?

To his surprise, the Family Head\'s reaction was very muted. He simply gestured for the man to stay silent, as if he was worried that his loud voice might disturb someone.

The estate manager didn\'t understand why the Family Head was reacting as if he was scared of someone. Still, he nodded. He didn\'t say anything else, only silently waiting for further instructions.

"Keep an eye on her. I will meet her later," Kiel Family Head told the Estate Manager before sending him away.

The Estate Manager turned around and started walking away. He had imagined many ways the family head could react to this news, but this was definitely not a part of his imagination.

Halfway through the corridor, he curiously looked back at the Family Head, his pupils widening. He watched the Family Head sitting on his knees in front of a young man who had stepped out of the meeting room.

The young man was none other than the guest who had been living in the estate for the last few days. Just who was that young man? He wondered.

At the same time, he understood that there were some things that were better left unknown. He had lived long enough to understand that trying to know too much was a shortcut leading to death.

He pretended as if he didn\'t see anything and left.

"Master, my daughter had been found and brought back," the Kiel Family Head informed Fey, who was looking like he was lost in some deep thought.

"Uh, right. Send her to my room later tonight. I am leaving." Fey simply waved his hands and left as well, appearing somewhat serious.

Strangely enough, all the newly turned slaves also followed him, with only the Kiel Family Patriarch left behind.

The Kiel Family Patriarch wondered why Fey was so nonchalant with him. Was he being abandoned now that his master had strong slaves?

His mind was controlled to such an extent that he was willing to do anything to win the favor of his master.

"That is right! If my daughter can win the favor of Master, then I will also..."

He quickly stood up and left to meet his daughter. Even though his most cherished daughter had returned home after running away, he was less worried about her and more worried about her master\'s favor.

....

The Family Head traveled through the estate, which was missing a large section that had been destroyed in Anya\'s wrath.

He soon reached his daughter\'s room, which was heavily guarded at the moment.

The security of this one room was even stronger than the main entrance of the estate. It was as if everyone was worried that she might run away again, leaving them in an even bigger mess.

When the Family Head approached the room, all the guards dropped to their knees, greeting him in unison.

The Family Head paid no attention to them. He opened the door and stepped inside his daughter\'s room, where she was supposed to be staying.

Inside the room, he noticed his daughter sitting on a chair, calmly drinking what appeared like herbal tea.

"You are very wise to return. You will never find a man better than Young Master Fey."

Just as Ruby had expected, her father didn\'t ask her if she was alright or what she went through when she was outside.

He was still talking about the young master Fey, as if she didn\'t know that he had already manipulated his thoughts.

"Tonight, you will go to Young Master Fey\'s room to keep him company. Alright?" Kiel Family Head asked, his tone appearing more like a command than a request.

"I agree with father\'s arrangements," Ruby answered without even the slightest hesitation.

Her words left her father shocked. He had thought that she might resist again to the point that he would have to forcefully take her there. On the contrary, she agreed so easily?

"When I was running away, I had a lot of time to think about it. And I realized that father wants what\'s best for me. Young Master Fey might truly be the best man for me. He is brave, handsome as well as talented," Ruby stated, her words bringing a smile to her father\'s lips.

The Kiel Family Patriarch nodded with her assessment. His Master was truly a great person, who was destined to rule over this entire world.
