Rozy wake me up with a panic expression on her face. Maybe because I've slept on the table whole night.

She brought me a basket of water and face wipe for me to wash my face. She asked if I had anything to do today. I answered her with " I don't. I will only be at the Arsen Room." She then said "I understand" and began preparing for my bath.

After  a morning bath, wore the prepared dress and had my breakfast, I immediately went to the Arsen Room with the paper that I wrote information yesterday. Today I might just focusing on magic and power.

I asked Rozy to bring a very hot tea. Then, I went inside The Arsen Room and took two out of many books  Rozy put at the bookshelf yesterday. I sat on the chair and began reading.

After a few minutes, Rozy came and put the tea on the desk. I then dismissed Rozy and told her I don't want any disruption. She nodded her head and went out of the room. I began my work.

After three hours inside The Arsen Room, I felt bored and lonely. I soon closed the book I was reading  and went outside of the room, with a plan to go to the garden. But, I didn't see Rozy anywhere and I didn't want to worry her so I decided to just go to Lady Evalina's favourite place. Since that place is Lady Evalina's favourite place, she always went there. So, it's natural if I go there without anyone accompany me.

That place was Lady Evalina's favorite  because it have everything she liked. Yeah, there are books, jewelleries, old swords and such. It was said in the novel that the room were very large. Maybe I can practice some simple dance there. That place also located at the highest in this house. Lady Evalina also liked it because she can see sunset there.

I opened the door and found the whole room in a mess. Books, papers are scattered on the floor. Even some boxes inside the room were not organized.

"It must be that this room is highest in the household, even maids do not clean it. This room was abandoned, after all. That's why Lady Evalina always went here. No one would come here to disturb her. Quiet and calm." thought to myself.

I walked around the room to see how wide this room is. Then, I took the books on the floor and placeed it on the bookshelf. At the same time, I saw what kind of books is it. Surprisingly, all of the books are story books. Not about history, political, magic or such. It's  story books for commoners.

Story books are only for commoners. Only books that have information can be inside most libraries, especially if it's The Algaria. It's unusual for some reason. It's really a surprise there are books like this here. I don't think any maids came here before. I mean, if they were, they supposed to clean up this room. I assumed they are not, even Rozy.

I shelved the books on its place and put the papers on the table. For some reason, the papers were all  'lyric songs'. But, it's written by an ink. That would mean, there were someone who came here and wrote the lyrics. Since in my previous world I was a singer, I knew that these were lyric songs that written by someone who was lower than average level. Even still, I couldn't stop reading the lyrics. It's so touching and funny.

"The angel who was loved by people. The demon who was an opposition of The Angel. Being judged and hatred. How cruel." I chuckled at the lyric after reading it.

"Man, is this a lyric songs or a poem?" continued by laughing.

I continued reading the lyrics until I realized I've been here for a long time. I stood up from where I sat and walked to the door. I also took two story books from the room. Since it's technically my room, I didn't need to borrow it or ask permission. I mean, it's not like everyone care. I will read those books before I sleep every night. When I'm done reading those, I could come here and take. Simple as that!

I walked down the stairs and went straight to Arsen Room so I can continue my work there.

As soon as I arrived at the room, I saw The Grand Duchess in front of the door. I fastened my steps to The Grand Duchess and greeted her.

"Good morning, Grand Duchess." since I didn't want to show my mistakes in greeting, I just greeted her using Ojigi way.

"Good morning. Where have you been?" asked The Grand Duchess with a worried tone.

"I came from the upper room. I'm sorry if I worried you." answered her with a sorry smile face.

"It's okay. I'm here because I want to talk about your favour yesterday. I'm sorry if I bothered you." assured her.

"I see. I do have something to do but I can do it later. How about we go inside the room?" offered me.

"Actually, if you are fine with it, how about we talk in my room?" she asked with a hope for her daughter to agree.

"I'm fine with any choice. As long as I can learn it, I'm fine. But first, can you wait for a moment? I want to put these books inside the room." I agreed with her and pointed out the books, also trying to hide the title of the book .

"I will gladly wait for you." she gave the permission. I quickly opened the door and placed the books on the table. After that, I went to The Grand Duchess.

"Shall we get going?" asked The Grand Duchess after seeing me closed the door.

"Yes. We shall go now." answered me and began the walk.

It's The Grand Duchess's room. I don't know where it was. That's why I let her pass me so she could lead where her room was.
______________________________________

We began and finished our walk without any voice coming from our mouth to each other. And I'd like to say, this whole household was huge! We had to pass the west building and the main building to go to The Grand Duchess's office room. She had to walk from here to Arsen Room just to see me?! Now I understood why she asked me to discuss in her room instead of mine. She was a very fair woman.

Wait...., fair? I don't think that is a wise word.

"This is my room. I think you already know its name, Ansle Room. Though, I don't think you came here before. " said her once we arrived at the room.

"Actually, I don't really remember the name

"Actually, I don't really remember the name. I'm sorry about that." responded me an honest answer.

"It's fine. It's not necessary for you to know." she smiled and opened the door.

Hello guys!

Thank you.
