Transmigrated to Become the Hero's Aid

Chapter-39: The Curse (2)

'Ahahaha..... You're joking, right? Lucy, tell me you are joking....'

Lucas didn't know what kind of face he was making. He was just stunned without being able to say anything, thinking again and again about what Lucy had said.

'We are doomed if it is the demon's curse....' Lucas wanted to hit his head for remembering such information. He thought he had a bad memory so why was he able to recognize this damn curse!? But then he realized, he knew it briefly because it was the trigger of Stella's death.

"Young master, are you alright?" Lucy thought that the young master who was filled with curiosity would try to ask her to tell him more but looking at him, she now regretted her actions.

'I didn't expect that young master would be so afraid of such stories.' Since the day Lucy had seen her young master, there was always an aura of maturity around him, unlike other children and many people in the mansion praised him as a little genius adult but now she knew that her view was partially wrong.

She started to view that young master Lucas had also a childlike side of him, like being scared of such stories and somehow she felt glad for it as she believed instead of being so mature at such a young age, it was not quite bad to behave freely like a child, too.

"Are you ok, Young master? Don't be afraid. It is just a rumour." Lucy gently said with a smile to soothe her young master, worried that she didn't have any reply for her first question.

"Ah, right! I am fine. It's just that....... Uhh... nevermind."

'Yep! Be it a rumor! Cause it is impossible in such time! Hahahaha.' Lucas smiled not knowing how awkward his smile was.

"By the way, where did you hear that Lucy?"

'I wonder where she heard that scary rumor.' Till this point, Lucas was still comforting himself that it was just a baseless rumor and he had nothing to worry about.

"Oh, I heard it from a friend! She is living in the southern part, too! Not the same town which is in the rumour though."

"I see. Did she say anything more about it?"

"Umm...Not really, young master. She just said that the rumour is hanging around her town with the girls' gossip." Lucy continued with a giggle. "Sometimes, we do that a lot if we have time."

"Ah, ok."

"Don't worry, young master. It doesn't exist in real life and even she said it is just a baseless rumor!" Lucy assured again and again. It would be bad if her little master got nightmares from it, right?

'Although I want to deny the first fact, I want to say I agree with the latter! Yep! It is just a nonsense rumor.' Lucas was satisfied with his thought.

As he just nodded, Lucas told Lucy that she could go now which she did, making a slight bow because she left her seat. But then, he halted her again as he remembered to ask something.

"By the way, Lucy... Do you know the exact town of the person with the demon's curse?"

'Why am I asking this? I believe that it is just a rumor right?' Lucas couldn't stop his mind which was wanting to know more.

Lucy replied to him after thinking about it for a second. "I think she said it is in Sansa. She also doesn't know the exact place, though,"

"Oh, I see. Thanks Lucy! You can go now."

"It is my pleasure to answer you, Young master Lucas. Then, excuse me."

And then the door shut gently, leaving Lucas alone who didn't know whether to sit or stand in his room.
