Chapter 28. The Villainess' Life So Far
I took a moment to survey the scattered of books and papers across my desk. Presently, I found myself within the Clorance's library. Malaki at malawak ang kabuoan ng lugar na 'to. Come to think of it, mas malaki pa ang library na 'to kumpara sa library ng university namin back in the real world.
The sight of towering bookshelves, adorned with an array of books, captured my attention. From the enthralling records of the empire's history to the arcane tomes delving into magic and sorcery. The library even has a second floor, that also has a vast collection of books in-store.
As I breathed in the air, an intoxicating aroma of aged parchment and ink enveloped me, a scent that would undoubtedly enrapture any true bibliophile, a book lover.
Napahawak ako sa noo ko at saka iyon marahan na minasahe. After perusing various papers laden with geographic data and research textbooks, sa sobrang dami ng new ideas and inputs na pumapasok sa utak ko tila ay para na itong sasabog. Yet, there's nothing else better to do than to study and learn things than be oblivious to certain facts and information that could benefit me in the future. I need to make sure that I'm gonna survive once the story officially begins.
Nagpakawala ako ng isang malalim na buntong hininga. And right as I was about to reach out to my writing pen, I noticed the clock from my peripheral vision. Doon ko lamang napansin kung anong oras na pala.
With a sense of urgency, I swiftly cleared the table, arranging the used books on a cart parked nearby. Pulling the cart towards the librarian's station, I approached Mr. Herbert with a polite request.
"Mr. Herbert, I apologize for the inconvenience, but would you mind doing me a favor? I have an appointment in 15 minutes, and I'm pressed for time. If it's not too much trouble, could you kindly return these books to their respective shelves?" I asked, my sincerity evident in my voice.
Mr. Herbert's warm smile was reassuring as he responded, "The young lady is truly kind, but it is my duty to handle such tasks. Please, be at ease and allow me to assist you. If there are any other books you require, don't hesitate to ask. I'll gladly be at your service."
Feeling grateful for his understanding, I returned his smile and nodded in appreciation. Collecting my papers and notes, I bid the library farewell and made my way outside.
As I stepped out of the door, I immediately spotted Mira, who seemed to have been waiting for me for quite some time. Her face lit up with a smile upon seeing me, and she walked towards me.
"My lady, let me help you," she offered, reaching out to take the papers and notes I was holding. Seriously, even if I do have poor health, I couldn't help but feel a twinge of frustration at the assumption that I was too weak to even carry such things. Sigh.
