Academy's Second Seat [part 2 Complete]

Chapter 211: Astria (3)

The sun was high in the sky.

Dragging my heavy body out of bed, I slightly parted the curtains and stared blankly out the window.

"I overslept......"

At the academy, there was always something happening every day, so I never slept in late.

However, knowing there was nothing scheduled for the next day, I ended up oversleeping.

Of course, it was partly because I had gone to bed late last night.

I stayed up until late at night, studying about spatial magic.

I planned to study in advance before my father returned to teach me spatial magic.

However, I was surprised by the lack of information on spatial magic.

There were historical books and others praising its abilities, but none explaining how this magic works and how to use it.

I thought it was natural for the academy not to have books on spatial magic because it was a secret of the Astria family, but even the Astria family's library didn't have such books.

It's been four days since I came to the capital from the academy.

Despite my search during this time, I found nothing.

"Maybe it's hidden somewhere else......"

That seemed like a reasonable assumption.

It made sense to handle spatial magic, arguably the Astria family's greatest weapon, with care.

I sighed, realizing I had gone through unnecessary trouble.

I sighed.

Knock, knock.

There was a knocking at my door.

"Are you awake?"

I heard the maid's voice from outside the door.

"Yes."

As I responded, several maids entered my room.

They opened the tightly shut curtains and brought me a wet towel and drinking water.

Although I wasn't used to such treatment, it didn't feel uncomfortable, so I naturally accepted it.

As I took a sip from the cup the maids brought, one of the maids spoke up.

"Young master Rudy, Miss Karen Meyer is waiting for you in the reception room."

"......What?"

I was surprised by the maid's words.

Karen?

Why would she suddenly come?

It's basic etiquette for nobles to seek permission from each other before meeting.

A young lady from a count's family wouldn't be unaware of this fact.

"Did she come on urgent business?"

"It doesn't seem like that. She has been waiting for over two hours."

"Two...... hours?"

I made someone wait for two hours because I overslept?

Even though we didn't have an appointment, I felt terribly sorry.

"Why didn't you wake me?"

"I'm sorry. Miss Karen Meyer asked us not to wake you."

"She said not to wake me? Did she say anything else?"

The maid hesitated for a moment before speaking.
