Chapter 94 : The revelation.
I was stunned by what she said, and I’m still confused to this day. I know something is off about the current situation, especially with the way Miss Mayu is acting. "Ah... Miss Mayu. Thank you very much, but I don’t understand why I need to join you for breakfast." She immediately slammed her hands on the table and asked if I didn't like the idea of eating with her. I could clearly see her face turning red with embarrassment. "Shouldn't you be grateful that I’m doing this for you?" she added. I panicked at her reaction and immediately clarified that I was indeed thankful for her offer, but I couldn't shake off the thing that had been bothering me. "Of course, Miss Mayu. I am happy and lucky that you allow me to have breakfast with you, but why?" "What I mean is, why do we need to eat together?" Mayu suddenly shook her head, annoyed that I was still asking. "Why do you have to ask that? Are you trying to embarrass me? Are you making fun of me?" I didn't understand what she mea
Chapter 93 : The breakfast
The next morning, as soon as I woke up, I felt restless and unable to quiet my mind. I stared blankly at the ceiling, replaying everything that happened last night. "Ora, my dream last night was so weird. I was in Miss Mayu’s room, and she suddenly kissed me." Ora materialized beside me and floated over my prone body. "You weren’t drunk last night, and it wasn’t a dream. It really happened—Mayu kissed you." I jolted upright, shocked and still finding it hard to believe. "But why? That shouldn’t have happened. Why would she kiss me?" "Isn't it obvious? She did it because she wanted to. Even if she was a bit intoxicated, it’s clear she has accepted you, and that’s what matters," Ora said. I didn’t agree with the idea that she had to kiss me just to show she was accepting me as an ally and a friend. "I don't understand. She has a husband, and I am married, too." "Who knows? Maybe it's because she doesn't recognize her marriage to the son of the Poi family. And as for you, under
Chapter 92 : The unexpected kiss
A few minutes passed, and I had no choice but to follow Mayu’s order. I went back upstairs and entered her room. I couldn’t help but feel nervous and afraid, especially since Mayu rarely remembers what happens when she’s drunk, often regretting the things she does that she never intended to happen. "Miss Mayu, I’m not sure if it’s right for me to be here, but please—if it’s alright, could we write an agreement that you won't be angry with me tomorrow if you happen to remember that I entered your room tonight?" I asked. "Are you insane? Do you think I’m some old person who forgets things?" she snapped, clearly annoyed. "I know what I’m doing, and my mind is clear. I’ve only had a few glasses of wine; I’m not drunk yet." I spotted the two wine bottles on her table and smirked to myself, knowing full well she had already consumed more than enough to be intoxicated. "Miss Mayu, why do you even have to drink? You know alcohol is bad for your health." Mayu sighed, pouring herself ano
Chapter 91 : the mysterious girl
I didn't expect time to suddenly come to a halt, and I knew immediately that it was due to a time-freeze spell. "Wait, could this be Akexia’s doing? If so, is she nearby?" I expected to see Akexia around me because, aside from myself, she is the only one capable of such a feat. As I scanned my surroundings, Ora suddenly appeared beside me and gave a warning. "Aren, be careful. I sense another spirit item nearby." "What? Where? Wait, is Akexia the one behind this time freeze? Where is she?" I asked. In the middle of our conversation, I suddenly heard the sound of a sword clattering against the ground and footsteps approaching from behind. I whipped around instantly, only to be startled by a young woman who grabbed me and pulled me along forcefully. "I don't have time to explain—just come with me!" I couldn't believe what was happening; a girl was literally dragging me inside a nearby building. I had no choice but to follow. Once we were inside, she forbade me from leaving and pe
Chapter 90: the white lies
A few minutes had passed since the argument in the mayor's office. Because Bernard had stormed out in a rage, the mayor was deeply worried and visibly shaken. "You’ve angered Bernard Poi. Have you even considered what he might do?" the mayor asked, trembling. Mayu immediately stepped in to defend me, telling the mayor that I was acting on my own and that he shouldn’t be held responsible. She made it clear that I was now her subordinate, and that was the only perspective Bernard would be concerned with. "I just hope I’m not dragged down by what you’ve done," the mayor muttered. "You know how valuable the poi family is to the baldona—you know that better than anyone." "Don't worry, Uncle. I know exactly what I’m doing," Mayu replied coolly. Then, she added, "Oh, and by the way, from now on, Aren works for me. You are not to give him any more orders, or Bernard will surely take his anger out on you." The mayor could only sigh, telling Mayu to do as she pleased, provided she k
Chapter 89: The unexpected clash
Hours had passed when the Mayor summoned me to serve as his bodyguard. While I was in his office, he ordered me to collect several suitcases and assist the others in transporting them. I didn’t know what was inside, but I didn’t dare ask. I simply followed his instructions and trailed my companions. A few minutes later, we arrived at the Governor's office. Upon entering, I saw the Governor engaged in a discussion with the businessman Bernard, from the Poi family. "Honorable Governor," Bernard said, "I wish to expand my business into the other towns under the Baksin jurisdiction. My team is already prepared for the expansion." "You are being far too hasty," the Governor replied. "It is not as simple as you think. There are many businessmen and nobles whose interests you might clash with." Bernard merely smiled, claiming he wasn’t worried about such trivialities. He mentioned that he was capable of carefully removing any obstacles that stood in their path. To him, there were n
