Transmigrated as a Ghost

With Mrazivý and surprisingly Quillon arriving at his estate, Marcus began showing his guests around, and letting them pick what rooms they wanted to use during their stay.

Of course, Mrazivý was actually going to be staying in the same room as Marcus, but they still needed to keep up appearances for now.

“Are you sure you want this room. It is the smallest one in the main building.” Marcus asked to Quillon.

However, he just nodded his head and said, “Yeah, I am used to sleeping in a small tent while accompanying my master. So, it feels a bit weird if I sleep in a very large room.”

Shrugging his shoulder Marcus was fine with whatever Quillon wanted, and now that he had picked out his room, he showed him around the rest of the manor.

“And this is the kitchen. Feel free to come and get anything whenever you want. Though if you want something prepared for you, make sure to do it between dawn and dusk when one of the maids is on duty.” Marcus said to Quillon.

After that he took the two of them around the grounds of the estate and showed them everything that was around.

“Hm this area would be a good place to train. The pond and trees are quite tranquil.”_.

“Yeah, you are right. This would be a good place to practice our forms.” Mrazivý said, agreeing with Quillon.

“Oh yeah I guess it is a bit late, but how has your training with the sword savant been going.” Marcus asked to Mrazivý.

When she had showed up with Quillon in toe, he remembered that Mrazivý had planned to become the apprentice of the famed swordsman who was also Quillon’s master.

“Oh, it has been great. He is a very wise master, and I have learned a lot in just a short time. Though I suppose he is a bit eccentric and pushes me pretty hard sometimes, even beyond my limits.” Mrazivý said with an enthusiastic smile.

She then went on to tell Marcus about what she had learned and how she wanted to test it out against him soon.

“Yeah, I am sure that we can find time to spare later on.” Marcus said.

Yet as he did, Quillon who had been silent for most of the tour chimed in and said, “If you are going to be having matches I want in as well. I want to fight you again Irene and show you how much stronger I have gotten.”

“Okay I guess we can make a day of it, but if we are going to go all out, we will need to reserve a high-level training ground. Since I would prefer that we not tear up my estate, or make the authorities think that some sort of attack is happening.”

Nodding their heads, both Mrazivý and Quillon looked like they had fires burning in their eyes with anticipation.

Seeing this Marcus was pretty sure they were willing to go at it right here and now if he agreed to it.

Still, today was not the time for that, and it was going to take at least a couple of days to make the necessary preparation to allow for people as strong as them to fight within the city.

Luckily, Marcus soon got a call on his sending stone and was able to change the flow of the conversation.

“My little sister has just arrived at the front gate, so I am going to go and greet her. If you want, you can follow me or do as you please.” Marcus said to the two of them.

“Of course, we are going to greet Lilia with you. Isn’t that right Quillon?” Mrazivý said as she put an arm around Marcus’ shoulder.

“Sure, I am curious about you adopted sister since I am sure she is to be strong too.” Quillon said, his mind on strength as always.

“Okay let us go then.” Marcus said as he beckoned Mrazivý and Quillon to follow him.

Quickly the three of them made it to the front gate in time to see a carriage that had recently entered.

However, Lilia was not inside, but greeting the maids and guards on duty, and thanking them for their hard work.

“Lilia!” Marcus called out as he waved his hand.

Hearing her name being called, Lilia turned around and saw Marcus along with Mrazivý and a young man she did not recognize.

Naturally Lilia ran up to Marcus and gave him her customary bear hug that would have crushed a normal person.

She then did the same for Mrazivý, who luckily could take it and dish out her own incomprehensibly strong hug in return.

Though as Lilia looked at Quillon, her face went red with embarrassment as she had not been acting with proper manners in front of a guest.

Bowing her head, Lilia apologized for her behavior, but Quillon just said, “Nah it is fine. I am not anyone important, so no need to act stuffy around me. Just treat me like a normal person.”

Smiling, Lilia nodded her head and properly introduced herself.

“Nice to meet you, Lilia. My name is Quillon, and I guess I am an acquaintance of your sister.” He said while holding his hand out.

Clasping it with her own, Lilia shook Quillons hand as the two greeted each other.

“Impressive you are very strong for you age.” Quillon said as he tested Lilia by squeezing her hand.

“Yeah, I can tell you are strong too. Much stronger than me.” Lilia said in return.

After that the four of them returned to the manor and had a late lunch that Marcus personally prepared.

“Wow your cooking is really good Irene. Way better than me or my master’s.” Quillon said as he scarfed down the grilled pork Marcus had prepared.

“Yes, I can attest to that. How can you have the cooking skill and yet still be so subpar.” Mrazivý said, remembered the food she had been eating for the last few months.

The four of them continued to converse with each other and eat, until Clara came in and said, “Lady Irene your other guest has just arrived.”

Smiling, Marcus told Clara that he would go and greet them personally, since they were an important noble with a high station.

Of course, Mrazivý knew who this was and smiled as well, while Lilia and Quillon were left confused.

Still, as Marcus and Mrazivý headed towards the entrance they followed, wondering who this other person that would be joining them was.

“Lyra I am glad to see you again and that you are in good health.” Marcus said as his old friend got out of her carriage.

Except instead of a normal greeting like Marcus expected, Lyra jumped up and gave him a hug, and said, “Ah it is really good to see you again. It has been lonely in Tralenstein, and there is so much work to do. But the thought of this vacation has kept me going.”

Returning Lyra’s hug, Marcus said, “Well, you do not have to worry about work or being alone anymore. We are going to have a fun and relaxing time while you are here. Now let me introduce you to everyone else.”
