Chapter 21: Chapter 21: Faster Than Expected

The next day.

Nothing happened after I met the two sisters. Even at dinner, they don’t talk much, so I can’t do anything.

They seem to be avoiding me, but for Trecia, she sometimes turns to look at me. Even though she’s attracted to me, she doesn’t dare to come any closer, maybe she was told by Nola not to approach me.

Now that I’m in front of Trecia’s room, I plan to approach her, at least before I leave town, I’ve laid the foundation.

‘Of course, the foundation of love,’

I heard that their mother had passed away and their father often worked. So the two of them were always taken care of by the maids here.

This is my chance now, to get close to Trecia because Nola is studying and practicing right now. Trecia doesn’t seem to be able to train yet, but she has taken a study program for the children of nobles and currently, she has completed her studies.

Taking a deep breath, I knocked on the bedroom door.

*Knock Knock*

The bedroom door slowly opened, a girl my age appeared. She is currently wearing a nightgown. She looks beautiful when she is wearing it.

“Hmm? Lute what are you doing here,” Trecia asked me with a curious face.

“I want us to at least know each other, before I become your bodyguard, actually I won’t be staying here long, I’m going out of town,” I smiled at her.

Trecia looked a little hesitant at first, but she let me in after that.

“You may enter,”

Trecia invites me and I come in with her. This room looks like a normal girl’s room. On top of the bed are lots of dolls, the bed is pink. On the wall was a bookshelf with many books lined up. she seemed to like reading books.

“What do you usually do, when you have free time Trecia?” I asked her.

“What did I do? I usually read storybooks,” Trecia replied with a smile.

“Storybook? Can you recommend one for me?”

“You want to read it?, I recommend this to you,” Trecia looked happy after talking about the book.

She gave me a romance book between nobles and commoners. I looked at this book with a curious look.

“I’ll read it,”

“Hmn.. hmn.. let’s sit here,” Trecia nodded smiling.

Trecia and I sat on chairs, in front of which was a table. We were currently facing each other.

Opening the book, I read it. The story in this book is quite interesting, it is a love story between a noble and a commoner. They met at first in a park by accident. The man was mesmerized by her beauty, he started to approach the woman, but he did not know that the woman was a noble.

As for the woman, she saw the commoners trying to approach her feeling displeased, but that was only the beginning. Because of how many times he came to see her, it ended up being love. After they fell in love with each other, it was found out by both the parents of the noblewoman.

The woman’s parents became angry, locked her daughter, and set her up with another noble. As for the man, after finding out, the woman he likes turns out to be nobles. The man became depressed and tried to save her, but there was nothing he could do and died instantly being killed by the guards. The woman who finds out that the man she likes is killed commits suicide as well.

Really??, what kind of story is this? The beginning of the story is very good because of the many comedy and romantic stories. But the ending of the story is just a tragedy, even the man is so stupid. How can he not know that the woman he likes is noble, isn’t that strange.

Nobles are very famous, it’s impossible not to know someone from a noble family. Unless that woman is a hidden child that is not known to the public or an illegitimate child of a noble.

And what pisses me off the most is, the man is so stupid trying to save his woman alone, did he not know how strong the noble was. If the man was strong then it didn’t matter, but he was weak, it was tantamount to seeking death.

The woman is also stupid, I know that she is very sad about the death of the man she loves, but before you kill yourself, why don’t you take revenge first, why the woman can only think of suicide.

Closing the book firmly, I closed my eyes. Trecia saw that I had finished reading, her eyes full of hope for my opinion.

“This is a stupid story,” I spoke opening my eyes.

“Hah? A stupid story?” Trecia was taken aback by my answer.

“I’ll tell you my opinion, if that woman were you and that man was me, I would have recognized you at first glance that you are a noblewoman,”

“Secondly, after we both love each other, I will become strong, so that my efforts are recognized by your family, I will also seek help from other people to help me get you, I will do anything, even if I have to sacrifice my life,”

I said to Trecia with a serious expression. Trecia now had a face as red as an apple hearing what I said.

“And for the last, even if I have to die at the hands of your family, I will write a final letter to you, I will tell you that your life is my happiness, I want you to stay happy even after my death because I have sacrificed everything for you, I want you to stay alive, even if you are filled with thoughts of revenge, because if you die just because of me, it will make my heartache,” I said with a pitiful expression.

Now Trecia’s eyes are starting to well up with tears, she unconsciously hugs me and cries in my arms.

“No Lute, I don’t want you to die!!,” Trecia cried.

‘What did I do? Didn’t I just tell her my opinion,’

I don’t know how to handle the current situation, so I can only just sit there and hug her back.

[+40,000 Love Points]

And now I’m very surprised, it’s progressing much faster than I imagined. After a few minutes, she let go of my arms. Her face was flushed and there were tears in the corners of her eyes, making her look like the most pathetic creature in the world.

We stared at each other, we both let out hot breaths. But suddenly the door opened very loudly.

*Bam*

Trecia and I were shocked and looked back, there was Nola who was angry. After she turned and saw the state of the two of us who were close to each other, her emotions grew even more intense.

“I heard the villager went to Trecia’s room, but it’s more than I expected,”

Nola was so angry, she brought the sword she used in training here. Her face was red with anger. She rushed at me trying to slash at me.

“Oh, shit,”

I hugged Trecia and avoided her until outside the room. Nola watched me dodge her, getting angrier.

“Nola what are you doing? It’s dangerous,” I shouted at her.

“Dangerous you say? You are a dangerous person here.” She spoke and began to cast her spell.

“Sword Vigance”

Several shining purple swords floated around Nola. I got scared and took out my dagger to parry and dodge the sword, but because I was carrying Trecia in my arms one of the shining blades hurt my shoulder.

“Hahaha you finally got hit,” Nola laughed mockingly.

Trecia saw me bleeding, tears falling from the corners of her eyes. She stood between me and Nola.

“Older sister, what are you doing, you hurt Lute,”

Trecia shouted with an expression about to cry, she seemed displeased with Nola’s actions towards me.

“Trecia, I was just trying to keep him away from you,” Nola tried to explain guiltily.

“No, I don’t want Lute to stay away from me, if older sister continues like this, I will stay away from you,” Trecia shouted.

Nola felt her heart break when she heard Trecia’s answer, Trecia had never refused anything she said before, but now she dared to fight back. She looked at me with an increasingly angry expression.

“Is this all because of you? What have you done to my little sister!!” Nola tried to attack me again.

“Older sister!!!”

Finally Nola stopped and lowered her head. She looked at me with an angry expression, then left. I breathed a sigh of relief, if I continued to fight with my injured body, and protecting Trecia it would be dangerous.

Trecia came towards me seeing the wound on my shoulder, she took me back to her room again. After treating my wound, Trecia calmed down. Actually this wound is not much if I buy a Potion, but I want to see what Trecia will do if I get hurt.

‘Well.. it seems that it was as expected, she looks like she already likes me,’

I was just wondering if it wasn’t too soon, maybe because Trecia was just a child, her heart melted easily. Seeing her caring for me so worriedly, I became eager to see her status window.

‘It’s true, she already likes me,’

This way, at least before I go out of city. I’ve already made progress with Trecia. Tomorrow I will return to the manor and prepare all my necessities before I leave city.

After I was treated, I told Trecia I wanted to go back to my room, to rest. Trecia also wanted me to rest, because I was injured. Even though the wound was nothing to me.
