chapter 85

“Johra how about here?”

We picked a nice peaceful spot to stop the carriage and eat our packed lunch.

“Is it sandwiches?”

“Yes, do you not like them?”

“No, I’m sure they will be just fine.”

When Levin handed Viezda her sandwich she just naturally took it and stepped outside.

“Where is Viezda going?”

“It isn’t a servant’s place to share a meal with her master.”

“What nonsense, Viezda come back here.”

She climbed back into the carriage with an awkward expression.

“Let’s eat.

Levin gave me a strange look but I just ignored him and focused on my lunch. Likewise Viezda was staring at me.

“Is there anything that you don’t like to eat?”

Shaking her head she began to eat her sandwich.

“Wow it’s so tasty!”

“Yes Johra, the count’s chef’s a very good because my father, the head butler, is very picky in the selection of employees.”

Levin spoke out proudly as if his father was a great hero.

Viezda just quietly ate her lunch all crunched up in the corner.

“What’s wrong Viezda?”

She shook her head left and right.

‘Is she afraid of strangers?’

After finishing our meal we hit the road once more and soon made it back to the manor. Jillian and Jerna were already outside, awaiting our arrival with eager eyes.

“I’m back.”

“Johra is the woman behind you a battle slave?”

The siblings was hopping up and down to get a better look at Viezda who was partly hidden behind me. When they caught sight of her, he and Jerna sported a surprised expression.

“What’s wrong Jillian?”

“She’s quite ugly… is it normal for a battle slave?”

“Really, I thought she was quite pretty.”

Hearing my words Jerna’s expression became very cold.

“Can I impose on you and ask for another room Jillian?”

“Of course, I’ll make sure it’s taken care of.”

Viezda however followed me silently into my own room.

“Why are you here? I went out of my way to get you your own room so why don’t you sleep there?”

She shook her head helplessly as a deep blush reached her cheeks.

“Did you want to sleep in this room?”

She nodded back, as her face truend an even deeper red.

“Okay it won’t be a problem. You can sleep on the bed and I’ll take the couch.”

She turned to look at the bed with an awkward expression.

“Good night Viezda, get some rest because we have a lot to discuss tomorrow.

I was exhausted from the days worth of shopping and fell asleep the moment my head hit the pillow. However, I woke up in the middle of the night due to a strange sound.
