T-Minus six days to the deadline of Caelums coming of age mission.
The sale of the Static Rune was ten times more successful than Caelum had expected. Gaining well over two hundred million pounds, still sounds unbelievable.
Anna was greatly surprised as well, she was definitely not expecting the heirs of the three European Monarchs to be present at the Bidding.
No one was, they stole the show.
Nonetheless it was still a huge success.
After the Bidding ended, alot of wealthy people had already been pouring requests and pre-ordering Static Runes from the next batch release.
Now Caelum had become a multi millionaire overnight he wasn't rushing into things. The next thing in his agenda was the former Valeborne Family mansion.
The Green Hill Villa.
Located an hour away from the current Valeborne GeneX skyscraper. It was away from the hustle and bustle of the city.
This Villa was located on an isolated hill to the north east of Ukraine, where a great amount of yin and yang energy circulated.
Just staying there was said to improve health and increase vitality. But of course this wasn't proven.
Caelum bought back this Valeborne Family mansion two days later.
This was a surprise for his family.
Suprisenly no other family or individual had stayed in the villa for more than four months. The reason Unknown.
Now before Caelum could show his family he had to finally pay off the Valeborne family dept of thirteen million pounds (£14,000,000), to Mullet Banking and Finance. So he headed there.
He also invested alot of money into the Valeborne GeneX business causing Vinicuis to be overwhelmed.
Mullet Banking and Finance_10:00 Am.
Caelum parked his Mercedes Benz GLE, in the parking lot of Mullet Banking and Finance, taking with him two duffel bags filled with money.
Today he was dressed in a European style. Black trousers and a green short sleeve button up shirt, overlaying them with a long brown coat.
He was looking like the Millionaire he is.
Once inside we walked galanty to the counter to deposit the money.
"Good morning and welcome to Mullet Banking and Finance. How can we help you today", The receptionist greeted in a rehearsed way.
"Good morning to you, my name is Caelum Valeborne and I am here to pay of my family's dept's", Caelum spoke in a sudden refined manner.
"Okay", the receptionist sighed as she picked up a file and search for the name Valebornes, while using her pointing finger as she scrolled down carefully.
"Found it, The Valeborne family, total dept including interests is fourteen million pounds", She then looked up skeptically at Caelum.
She had heard that the Valeborne family's trade routes where finally free three weeks ago but she didn't believe they could make that much money in that short amount of time.
Watching her doubtful expression while she talked Caelum just smiled, directly lifted up both duffel bags and slammed them on the table.
"That's Fourteen million pounds, count it", he said pointing to the bags.
"Y-yes sir , right away", she stuttered before taking the bags into the backroom for counting.
Thirty long minutes later the receptionist returned with a satisfied smile on her face, "Mr Caelum we have verified and confirmed your payment, please sign here".
Caelum carefully read the document before signing and keeping his own copy.
"Thank you", He waved as he left the building.
Of course he read the document before signing, this was a bank owned by the Mulcaster twins, who knows what tricks they have up their sleeves.
They would do anything to keep the Valeborne family down.
Now that the Valeborne family depts were finally settle, it was time for the surprise trip.
He had told everyone in advance that today he was taking them out somewhere, using the excuse that they have been over working themselves.
The family members knew that Caelum had made some progress on the Valeborne GeneX sales, so they agreed.
Actually the only reason they all agreed was because Lord Alaric told them too.
Caelum have never been in the succession line, so he have never been hated by his brothers because he posed no threat to them.
But now that he was once again gaining finance for the family, they hoped he would not announce that he wants to join the battle to be the next heir of the Valeborne family. If he did that, Theron and Lucien would definitely get rid of him.
Outside the Valeborne family skyscraper, all five Jeep's that the Valeborne family currently owned where lined up.
The family members all entered their respective vehicles along with their butlers and maids for security and they followed behind Caelums jeep, which was the one leading in front.
Aeris Valeborne was in Caelums car. And also the Valeborne family still couldn't afford personal drivers this their butlers and maids had to drive.
Truly embarrassing.
But that was about to end.
Vroom!
All vehicles roared to life as they departed with Caelum for the surprise he prepared for them. It better be worth it.
The Valeborne GeneX business had been left with the assistant for the day.
While driving everyone tried to guess what the surprise was, and only Selira was closest. Guessing a building maybe a new home.
After an hour long drive, they finally neared the Green Hill Estate.
The first to realize this area was Lord Alaric. He's eyes lit up as soon as he recognized the area, it had been two years since he was last here and he never thought he would see it again. Following him was Lady Seraphina then Selira, they all recognized the area.
But now recognizing the green Hill Estate, made Lord Alaric boil in anger.
"Why would Caelum bring us here of all places, was this a prank. It better have a good explanation for this if not I'll beat him half to death and exile him from the family myself", Lord Alaric seriously thought and made up his mind, brow's furrowed.
The Green Hill Villa.
They Finally arrived, Caelum drove in first, followed by the other members of the family.
They all followed the lawned estate road and parked in front of the main villa inside the compound.
They realized that butlers opened the gates, and they were definitely people up and about the villa, gardeners, maids, chefs e.t.c.
Clam!
They all came down slowly still waiting for some kind of drama to unfold between Lord Alaric and Caelum. Lined up and both sides of the large entrance door were five butlers.
"We greet the Valeborne family, thank you for giving us another chance", the men and women in clad suits echoed at the same time.
Now let's rewind time alittle.
When the Valeborne family wealth started declining sharply, they had to put off Alot of things, vehicles, employees, companies, buildings and more. They lost everything.
After the employees which includes, maids, chefs, driver's, security and more where dismissed of there duties. Some loyal ones refused to search for another job for the last two years, opening their own business instead.
They refused to serve any other Patriarch than Lord Alaric. This was their dedication to him. So when Caelum approached them for re-employment, they gladly accepted.
They still couldn't believe that they had the opportunity to serve the Valebornes once again.
Seeing this scene Lord Alaric was taken aback, he remembered these loyal members of the family, they had been working here for a very long time.
While the other members of the family were soaking in the moment, Caelum announced something more shocking.
"This is the surprise everyone, I've bought back our family mansion including our employees", this words were something that Lord Alaric and Seraphina Valeborne had been longing to hear for year's.
And as for Theron and Luciens expressions, let's just say they weren't very happy.
Lord Alaric walked inside taking in the beauty of the mansion once again. The other members of the family explored the villa.
"Caelum", Lady Seraphina called standing hand tied to her husband's.
Caelum walked over and bowed slightly.
"Thank you, I'm glad I never doubted you", Seraphina and Lord Alaric smiled warmly before heading upstairs to their room.
Caelum didn't know why but as soon as he heard those words, memories of his previous life as a monarch replayed vividly in his head. He rose to the top all alone, losing alot of friends, family and emotions along the way.
He was a fighting machine, which was why enemies arose to dethrone him. After this flood of memories came the previous Caelum's memories whose body he now occupies.
The previous Caelum's struggles while being weak, the inability to save people precious to him, the family drama and the monarchical system. Everything worked against him, this he always overworked himself day after day, week after week, month after month, just so he could make a difference and break through the limits of his supposed fate.
And one night his body couldn't take it anymore, he quietly passed away while he was asleep, and that was the moment Darius reincarnated into his body.
Caelum stayed at a spot absent minded, he didn't realize when tears started overflowing down his eyes.
Anna saw this and rushed over, snapping him out of his daydream, "Master are you okay", She asked panicked.
Caelum now came back to his senses, wiped his face clean with his coat and turned to Anna giving her a wide smile "I'm just very happy, my hard work finally paid off". This moment made Anna heart throb.
Admiration once again flickered in her eyes.
Caelum wasn't talking for himself but on behalf of the previous Caelum, he's hard work had finally paid off.
Caelum hadn't cried in more than ten years, so he cherished this new feeling in his heart.
"Lord Caelum, lunch is ready", the chef walked into the hall way and announced.
"Alright, our first food back in our mansion", Caelum grinned.
I'm thrilled….
