The day finally came it was Sunday, and the FPS tournament was going to begin a few hours from now. Alex as per his usual routine was about to head out early to do some recon before the tournament starts. When he left his room, Lilitth had also left her room at almost the exact same time.

The little girl woke up a bit earlier than Alex. When she heard the sound of her onii-sama opening the door of his room, she went out as well.

”Good morning onii-sama.” Lilitth happily greeted Alex.

”Good morning.” Alex greeted her as well and afterwards was about ready to leave.

”Onii-sama, where are you going? Can I come with you?” Lilitth suddenly asked when she saw her onii-sama seem to be in a hurry.

”No, not today Lilitth. Also I heard dad and you are going to do something together for today.” When Lilitth heard what Alex said, she finally remembered what her tou-chan told her last night. She had forgotten that detail, and felt a bit embarrassed as she bowed her head in front of Alex.

”Oh that's right. I'm sorry for delaying you onii-sama.” Once the two had cleared that up, Alex proceeded to head out of the mansion into the garage to get his motorcycle. When he got out the front door of the mansion, Alex saw a person who wasn't suppose to be there.

She was a beautiful girl who had long black hair tied into two messy pigtails. This girl was none other than Rachel Regius. Alex spotted her in the distance hesitating to ring the door bell. When he saw Rachel, Alex felt a bunch of mixed emotions, but the most prevalent feeling he had at the moment was panic. Alex didn't like the feeling of being unprepared, so this made him a tad irritable.

Alex spoke at the ear piece he was wearing. ”Surveillance team, why didn't you warn me she was here?!” Though Alex still had a stoic look, and still sounded indifferent, there was a minor change in the pitch of his tone, it was just a tiny bit, but the maid in charge of communications noticed it.

”It was to surprise you young master. It would seem that lady Rachel came here with that intent, so as to not look suspicious we didn't inform you. Good luck young master.” The maid who was talking to Alex, was trying to stop herself from giggling, so before she accidentally giggled she ended the call immediately after responding to Alex's question.

Alex couldn't believe what he had heard. Even though the maids were employed by his dad, Alex was still technically also someone in charge. The maids were also former soldiers and mercs, so that means they had a better understanding about the meaning of ranks.

'How could they do this to a superior officer?!' This was the sole thought screaming in Alex's mind at the moment. While he was thinking about what to do next, Alex saw Rachel still in front of the button of the door bell hesitating.

Her finger would almost press the button, but then she would stop. Afterwards she would start to walk around in a circle, then she would stop head back to stand in front of the button of the door bell, try to press it then once again stop. She would then repeat the process all over again.

Watching her do this made Alex feel quite amused. After awhile Alex decided to greet her, since watching her do this made it feel like he was bullying her.

....

”How long are you going to hesitate?” Hearing a voice out of nowhere, Rachel panicked and took a defensive stance. The gate of the mansion opened, and the person who appeared before her, was the person she kept on thinking about, while on that training trip with her family.

Black hair, sharp black eyes that seem to pierce ones soul. An ever stoic expression, and that calm indifferent voice, this guy was none other than Alexander Samarita. Rachel who saw Alex just stared dumbly at him while still maintaining her defensive position.
