I looked down at the nearly completed magical engineering bracelet with a regretful heart. I wanted to finish it since I had started it, but it seemed that eating was the priority now.
I reluctantly stopped my work and got up from my place.
Instead of answering, when I opened the door, Askan was standing in front of it.
I had been living too long in the room with the curtains drawn, so the light coming in from outside was dazzling.
“Bring the meal in.”
Askan looked at my haggard face without a word. Then he answered in a voice that seemed somewhat subdued compared to before.
“…Yes.”
As soon as I expressed my intention to eat, the housekeeper, who had been ignored at the door all this time, came and started making a noisy meal.
Before I could regain my appetite seeing the food lavishly served to the point of breaking the table, the nagging of the housekeeper continued to be heard.
“Miss, you’ll really faint like this.”
“Yeah.”
“Is there something wrong?”
“No.”
“You haven’t left the room for a long time, something serious will happen.”
The comparison between Askan, who didn’t speak unless necessary today, and the housekeeper, who was constantly voicing his worries, was stark.
I felt my mind was getting scattered, so I spoke to the housekeeper.
“Housekeeper.”
“Yes, what do you need?”
“Let me eat. Stay outside.”
“Oh, Miss!”
“I can’t eat because I’m distracted by you.”
“Oh, I’m sorry. Then I’ll wait outside, please call me if you need anything.”
“Yeah.”
Whether he thought he was disturbing my meal or not, the housekeeper hastily left the room.
Finally, in the quiet room, while eating, I suddenly saw Askan sitting across from me.
At some point, we started having meals together and requested the chef to prepare meals for two. Thanks to that, two meals were prepared without a separate request.
I realized that I had no way of knowing how Askan had been eating until now. I wanted to feed him if possible.
“How have you been while I was in the room?”
At my words, Askan’s golden eyes were directed at me. Strangely, today I felt more than ever that his emotions were not visible.
“I spent my time as usual.”
“Really?”
“Yes.”
“That means you’ve been well, right?”
“Yes.”
Askan’s gruffness wasn’t a day or two. It wasn’t comforting to hear such an answer from him, who doesn’t express his emotions, but it wasn’t a big deal either.
I had a bit of work left, so I didn’t know how many meals I would miss in the future. I wanted to take care of Askan’s meals during this time, so I asked.
“Should I have some food made for you separately?”
I was worried and brought it up, but I knew he was likely to refuse.
But surprisingly, his answer was unexpected.
“Thank you.”
His acceptance of my kindness felt a bit strange, but I didn’t care much.
After all, at the age of 15, not only is it a growth period, but as a human, no one would refuse delicious food.
“Alright. I’ll tell the chef later, so take good care of your meals.”
“Yes, Miss.”
There was nothing unusual about Askan’s attitude, but for some reason, it kept feeling strange. I thought it was just my imagination.
I didn’t pay unnecessary attention and focused on my meal.
Even until he finished his meal, got up from his seat, bowed deeply to me, and left the room, I didn’t feel anything suspicious.
[This is the time separator]Late at night, I finally unlocked the magic engineering bracelet and restored it to its original form.
I hurriedly grabbed the bracelet and left the mansion with a joyful heart.
I didn’t want to use the bracelet’s ability anywhere, I didn’t want to wake up the people of the mansion unnecessarily. All I wanted was to quickly test the bracelet’s ability in a deserted place.
It was then, while I was wandering alone in the dark garden.
“Who’s there? What are you doing here at this late hour?”
In the dark night, it was a chilling voice that grazed my ears like a blade.
I instinctively turned my head towards the source of the voice. At first, I was just curious about who was speaking to me in this manner.
The man who came into my sight was about twenty years old.
Despite having a tall stature, broad shoulders, and firm muscles, he exuded a sleek feel. He was an incredibly wellproportioned man.
Although it was my first time seeing his face since arriving in this different world, I felt as if I knew who he was.
‘That’s Zen.’
He was a knight who guarded Oland and the hidden powerhouse of the Brelopf mansion.
Though not known to the outside world, Zen was a superior swordsman who was one of the top three in the Arwen Empire. And he was also one of the supporting characters in .
Just as I was about to respond to Zen, I realized that he wasn’t looking at me.
‘What? Wasn’t he talking to me?’
As the situation took an odd turn, I inadvertently turned my head towards the direction Zen was looking. And I stopped at the silhouette standing in the darkness.
It was Askan, a boy who was not yet fully grown.
