Hector was Julia’s personal butler, he has been with her for a while, most likely. When we first went to explore the ruins of Julia’s house, we took away a lot of debris and found several bodies of dead guards and soldiers, alongside maids and a few butlers as well, most of them died crushed by the house being brought down, while guards and soldiers ended being killed by the Vampires. However, some people had managed to escape in time. It was all thanks to Hector.

The butler was on the first floor when everything happened, finding several servants running away from the murderous vampires while the guards and soldiers tried to fight them, he probably suppressed his will to go help his lady to help the servants in here, bringing them to an underground room behind the back of the vampires. When the whole house was brought down, the ceiling of this room broke and it fell over Hector, crushing him over the ground. However, he had managed to take the hit all by himself, protecting the young servants who were not older than 16.

When we found him, he was barely alive, as one of the servants had some affinity for healing magic and healed him a bit, enough for us to arrive in time. At that moment, Emeraldine healed him fully and we brought him outside alongiside the other survivors. Because he was unconscious and the survivors were too tired, they ended staying behind the ruins and the camp built recently. When Julia arrived, she wasn’t able to see him because he was still sleeping.

Just now, by the power of some sort of “butler’s instinct” he woke up the moment he heard the voice of his lady and came to greet her as fast as he could humanly do. I had to admit it, Hector might be a “super butler” like those you see in anime based in how strong he is to just rush here at his age. He looks already in his late 50’s.

“HECTOOOR!”

Julia jumped towards Hector, as the Butler was trying to clean his clothes from all the dust. The old man felt surprised as the young teen girl hugged him tightly.

“Milady?!”

“I thought you were dead!”

“Oh… Certainly, I almost did die. But it was thanks to Lady Emeraldine that I was able to recover. Sadly, I was asleep until now. However, the moment I heard your voice, I immediately woke up. It appears that things have wrapped up?”

“Yes… A lot of stuff happened, many people died too…”

“I see… Well, I am very grateful for what you’ve done, lady Mary and company. You’re all the heroes of our small fiefdom. As the head servant of the house, I owe you my life.”

Hector seemed to be a very good man. He was probably like the father Julia never had. It seems that whenever she speaks about her family, she only mentions her mother. Her father? Nowhere to be seen. He might had died, or just disappeared.

“Hm, it seems that there are yet to be many things we need to do. How about I make some tea to lift up your spirits while you all discuss what has happened? I won’t dare bother you.” Hector said, as Julia nodded.

“Okay… After all these years I can only drink your tea, Hector…” Julia sighed like a spoiled girl.

“Haha, milady. It would be more convenient if you could let go of me, so I can begin moving…” Hector said, as Julia still had him wrapped in her arms.

“Ah… Y-Yeah, you’re right.” Julia muttered.

After Julia let go of her butler, she sat back again and then we saw two green-haired maids walking towards us. These were the half-elf twins that served Julia, both were well versed at fighting and protected her against the Vampires, buying a lot of time for us to finally reach here. Faerie is the silent and calm one, with short dark green hair and sharp eyes, and Faire is the cheerful twin of the two, with bigger and brighter eyes, and long light green hair.

“Lady Julia, we are back.”

“We brought some bread and meat we were able to collect!”

“Eh? You two brought food? Wait, that’s for the citizens, give it back!”

Julia began to reprimand the two girls, but I stopped her.

“Julia, you also need to eat. Don’t go overboard, okay?” I asked, as she seemed to sigh. The girl sat down again and her two maids began to share large pieces of bread and the meat, which looked like curated ham.

As we enjoyed the food and I was able to quench a bit of my hunger. Which was rather big after this entire thing happened, we began talking about the important stuff.

“Now let’s go back to the main topic, Julia… About Agatha and everything else.” I said to her, as Julia nodded.

“It all happened suddenly. The moment you went into the dungeon, the Vampires showed up out of nowhere… I was sure that I had checked every nook and cranny of my house and the surrounding neighborhood… But they just appeared so suddenly it really surprised me.” Julia sighed. “Later, we learned that Emiliano was a traitor, obsessed with power, he decided to betray us and work for the Vampires in exchange for being given the blood of these monsters, so he would be able to break his Level Cap… Bastard, I trusted him so much… I feel ashamed of myself for having trusted such a person.”

“So that guy betrayed us?!” I asked in shock.

I could had never truly expected this. He was always such a goody-two-shoes! Maybe I should begin doubting people a bit more.

“So that green haired human was a traitor that joined the Vampires? Wait, wasn’t he a Court Mage?” Asked Lucifer.

“Precisely, he was the one maintaining the barrier. He was the one that always let the vampires inside… the first attack was provoked by him, he wanted to eliminate me for a long time…” Julia muttered, her eyes showing the clear frustration she was feeling.
