Before Tomoe and Elena could ask anything, Alisia spoke up with a icy tone -

"Altruce, what are you doing here ? Did you forget that I told you to not disturb me."

Hearing Alisia saying this this man named Altruce again made a displeased expression and said -

"I'm not disturbing you. I'm your cousin and I need to talk to you about some important things. Why can't I find you for that ?"

"Because I know you have nothing important to say. You must have lost all your money gambling and need more. But I'm not going to give you anymore money. So don't disturb me."

Hearing that Alisia was not going to give him any more money, his face suddenly became frantic. Then he started to explain that he had found a very good business opportunity that would make his a lot of profit. He just needed some money as his starting fund and soon he would be able to start making good profit. Then he would be able to return even the double amount of money.

His words sounded sweet but Alisia was not naive enough to believe him. This useless cousin of hers had wasted an astronomical amount of money for useless things and Alisia did not believe he was capable enough to earn any amount of money without selling his organs in black markets.

Seeing that his explanation was not working, Altruce started to emotionally blackmail Alisia to give him more money. Altruce's mother was Alisia's aunt and both of them were very close. Both Alisia's mother and her aunt died almost at the same time so that created a weak spot in her heart. If it was Alisia from before he went to experience the outside world, she might have gotten swayed by Altruce's emotional words and would have given him some money. But now she was completely unmoved by all this.

Grace was extremely gratified after seeing Alisia's growth. This journey to a different continent definitely had been a positive thing for Alisia. She had always been a smart and talented child but now she had also become cool headed and experienced. Seeing that even this tactic of his was unable to move Alisia, Altruce became a bit desperate and did something he should not have done.

Altruce tried to again blackmail Alisia but this time he tried to use her reputation. He told her that not giving her family related cousin some help in his dire situation might tarnish her reputation as a kind young lady. This was just too much for Alisia and she was disgusted at how low this cousin of hers had become. With that in mind Alisia decided to reeducate this fool on behalf of her beloved aunt. This was not something that Alisia wanted to do but now she had no other way.

Even without Alisia telling anything Grace understood what she wanted to do. So she immediately stepped out and landed a chop on Altruce's neck at lightning speed. Before he could understand anything, he was immediately knocked unconscious. Then Grace used some kind of communication device and after just a few minutes two men appeared and took him away.

Then instead of going to the central squire, Alisia decided to take a little break as she was feeling very tired after talking with that troublesome cousin of hers. So she entered a good cafe with Elena, Tomoe, Turin and Grace. This cafe was famous for having a very relaxing atmosphere for vampires so Alisia was hoping that it would be able to calm her troubled mind down.

The effect of this restaurant was remarkable. The calm atmosphere with very light music did wonders for her mental health and calmed her down quite a bit. Then finally she started to tell Elena and Tomoe what was the matter with her and this cousin.

...

Altruce was Alisia's aunt's only son. After her mother passed away from a terrible illness, her aunt and uncle also died in an expedition. Since then it was decided that Altruce would be taken care of by the Utreyana family. This was also because of the kindness that Alisia's father had for one of his late wife's family.

At first he was only treated as any regular low authority member of the family would be treated but as Alisia started to show her brilliance as a young talent, the reception he received also started to become better and better. By this Altruce ended up with a very lazy personality and started to depend completely on Alisia's name and reputation.

While living a lavish lifestyle depending on Alisia, he also developed a few bad habits. The most destructive among them was his addiction to gambling. He started to waste a large amount of money on this and soon Alisia came to know about this. At that time she had just barely grown up and was still quite young. But even so she was intelligent enough to see what was right and what was wrong. So she gave the order to cut Altruce's pocket money down. She did not stop it as even then she had some feeling of affection for the son of her beloved aunt.

Alisia had hoped that it would be able to change Altruce's personality but that did not happen. Instead he became more and more addicted to all the bad habits. Now that she had taken the responsibility on her own shoulder, Alisia was definitely going to bring Altruce to the right path.

...

After having a light meal, again the group of five went toward the central squire. Elena was quite satisfied as at least there were some foods here that were tasty to even other races. So finally she was able to have something good after coming to this continent. So she was definitely in a good mood. Alisia's mood had also improved once again and she was laughing and talking with Tomoe.

Most of the people who came across Alisia greeted her with respect and asked her for her well being. Many of the older vampires even gave her their blessings. This was definitely not something that every noble vampire would get so a curious Elena asked about it.

Alisia tried to avoid this question and Grace revealed the truth. Alisia had been participating in many social works since she was just a little kid. She had helped the common people of the city many times and they all also had seen her growing up little by little. So the relationship between the citizens and Alisia was very close.

Elena, Tomoe and Turin were quite impressed by this. Turin even had the wish to ask her some questions as both of them were from influential families. But as now he was acting a regular sub dragon monster, he was unable to speak up. Elena noticed it and decided to reveal Turin's truth to Alisia when the time was right. Then both of them would be able to talk a lot. Elena was sure that revealing Turin's true identity to Alisia would not be a problem.

While thinking about all this, Elena and her group had already reached the central squire.
