Transmigrated to Become the Hero's Aid

Chapter-23: The Dancing

"Nice to meet you there. You must be Young master Lucas." The girl continued with a chuckle.

'She knows me?' Lucas was confused but it was possible if she was paying attention to name announcements, unlike Lucas who didn't.

'What is this feeling?' Lucas shivered but he didn't know why. He just felt that something was wrong with her or she was kind of different from others. But that feeling disappeared not long after it first appeared.

Like that feeling had never existed before. All he could see was a young beautiful girl with dark green eyes and wavy auburn hair which was tied tightly backwards. Wearing a calm brown gown which had less frills or ribbons compared to others, she looked surprisingly mature.

"Nice to meet you, my lady. You are....?" Lucas tried to recall if he could remember someone like her from the novel but he couldn't. It was either he didn't remember her or she was not included in the novel.

"Oh my, where are my manners? I am Rachel Ariasta, first daughter of Count Rowan."

'Count Rowan Ariasta...Oh, he was the count from the neighboring territory. I didn't know he had a child of this young.' Lucas wondered as he only could think about his sons and not the daughter. 'Rachel...? I think I don't remember..... So was she just someone uninvolved?'

Lucas unconsciously stared at her, who looked so polite and well-mannered for her age, debating whether a second shuddering he felt was just his imagination or if there was something more to her.

"Is something wrong?" Rachel looked uncomfortable and it was only then Lucas realized his rudeness.

"I am sorry, my lady. It was just...."

"Don't be~ Rather I am happy to see someone of the same age. It is suffocating to have just adults around you." Rachel chuckled, with her tiny voice as usual.

"Ah, yes. I also didn't think I would find anyone similar to my age here."

"It's just that my lord brother wanted to bring me here. I didn't know why though." She pouted, unexpectedly deviating from her mature behavior before. "Seriously, I am so bored..."

"Yea, it is getting a little bit boring, though" Lucas tried to go with the flow.

'No, it is not boring. I am watching a Cinderella movie here.' was what he was thinking but he couldn't tell that aloud, could he?

The atmosphere between them was awkwardly quiet, making Lucas feel suffocated as they just gazed at the people dancing. Lucas felt like he got into awkward quiet moments a lot since he came into this world. He was not that quiet one in his past life!

"Young master Lucas, you are a healing magic user, right?"

'Why is she asking that!?'

Lucas was glad that she started the conversation again but he was not expecting to talk about that. He replied the question with a yes, thinking if he should also ask her about her magic type if what she wanted to talk about.

"Are you ok with that?" Rachel continued as she shifted her gaze back at Lucas. "With healing magic being your main while Duke Cassius is a weaponry magic user?"

Lucas kind of figured out what point she was saying. In this world where mana type was 99.99% hereditary (0.01% lacking was because of him) and weaponry magic, especially swords one taking domain, cases like Lucas was a strange phenomenon.

"Ah, forgive my rudeness. I am not doubting your identity... I just want to know how you are doing with your family."

"It's perfectly fine, my lady. My father believed my mother and my siblings also do so. I also trust her so there is no problem. Sometimes, things like out of the ordinary can also happen, right?"
