Chapter 48: Veramood Lunatil

When Marisuez heard Sigrid’s words, the word ‘nonsense’ was out from her lips as soon as possible. 

“What are you talking about? I’ll not die for you.”

Sigrid opened her mouth in shock and Rowen Green burst into laughter. Today’s tea time was in Marisuez’s garden. 

“But we are friends—”

“Even if we’re friends, do we have to die for each other?” Marisuez frowned and shook her head, “It’s coercion, coercion.”

“But….”

“Oh, and SIgrid, you don’t have to die for me either.” Marisuez waved her hand.

Rowen green smiled seeing the stunned expression on Sigrid’s face. “Siri, not all friends are the same.”

“Really?”

“It’s like, just because we’re knights, it doesn’t mean we’re the same, right? The same goes for friends.”

“It’s like that?”

“Yeah, besides, our friendship level is just level three, three.” Marisuez even emphasized what she said with her three fingers.

‘How much is three?’ Sigrid was worried.

However, a servant approached them with a quick pace.

“A guest has come for Miss Ankertna.”

“A guest?” Marisuez looked at Sigrid who shook her head with a puzzled expression.

The servant smiled meaningfully. “The person is holding a gift from Sir. Lunatil.”

“Oh my? Tell him to come in.” Marisuez was blinking.

Sonn a well-dress servant came in with a large box. “It’s a gift for Sir. Ankertna.”

‘Sir. Lunatil? For me?’ SIgrid received the box in wonder. 

“What is this? Siri, what happened? When did you two get so close?” Marisuez asked in an excited voice.

“No, not close.”

Rowen Green frowned, “Come to think of it, didn’t you say you were sexually harassed by Sir Lunatil before? Is this okay?”

“Well, it was like that before, but when I said no, he just laughed.”

Marisuez’s eyebrows frowned upon hearing those words. “He laughed?”

“Yes.” Sigrid nodded and opened the box. As soon as she saw what was inside the box, her jaws dropped slightly. It was a beautiful dress in blazing scarlet. 

Sigrid picked up the letter while she was looking at the seemingly expensive, glistening dress. 

[I hope you like it. It would be an honor if I could have your first dance at the ball.]

Marisuez stared at the dress while Rowen Green took a sip of tea as she rolled her eyes. Both of them have the same thought. ‘It’s an expensive gift that usually is sent to a girlfriend while she is with her friends.’

“Try it on.” Marisuez said.

While Sigrid raised her head in surprise, Marisuez already stood up from her seat while staring at the dress with a strange expression.

“Let’s try this on.”

“Uh? But—”

“But what? Try it on first.”

Rowen Green also was also curious and puzzled.

After being half pushed by Marisuez, Sigrid then put the dress on with the help of Marisuez’s maid. 

The dress fit Sigrid’s size.

“It is the right size?”

Sigrid nodded her head after hearing Marisuez question.

Rowen green was amazed. “It looks good on you. Your eyes stands out more. Your body also looks slim. And—”

It was definitely an expensive dress. The jewels embedded in the lower part of the dress were shining like a lake reflecting the setting sun. 

However, Marisuez crossed her arms and spoke in an annoyed tone. “Isn’t he a pervert?”

“Huh?”

Rowen green looked back at Marisuez in amazement. She thought Marie would be the person who felt excited seeing it here…. 

“He’s a man who knows exactly the size of a woman’s cloth—” Marisuez snorter.

“Ah.” Rowen Green agreed with Marizued. Measuring someone’s size with only eyes would not work, touching their body also would not work, then if a person could measure the size by only seeing and touching then the person was not normal. 

‘Marisuez likes men who are sincere.’ 

Marisuez said to Sigrid, “Next time, if he sexually harassed you again, this time, you should be—No, wait. Ah.— Give him a slap. Then you could say you cannot do this.”

“Yes.” Sigrid nodded obediently.

However, Rowen Green took pity on Sir. Lunatil for a brief moment. 

***

Seria got up faster than anyone else. Although her job was as a maid, she knew that her position was ambiguous. She was a maid but she had the lowest amount of chores among the maids. She didn’t know how to clean the high-quality tableware or how to scrub the wooded stairs. In addition, her brother, Arcana, was a friend of Sigrid, her master. However, no matter what, she was still a maid. So she tried to take care of the chores she could do by herself. 

Like this morning. It was Seria’s job to wake up early in the morning to turn off the kitchen light, prepare the maids’ meals, and boil the water.

‘Master always wakes up too early.’

Seria glanced out from the window in the kitchen. 

In the ordinary mansion, the first one who wakes up was a chore maid like Seria. However, in this mansion, it was the master of the house, Sigrid. She wielded her sword and practiced in the early morning until her sweat dripped down. Then she would do a long meditation. When Sigrid came in to wash up, the maids were just ready for breakfast. 

Ordinary nobles ate simple breakfast, but Sigrid’s appetite after morning practice was strong. So the chef always made breakfast like lunch with energy. 

Arcana had breakfast with only tea and light toast, but Sigrid, who was sitting at the same table. Devoured the omelet, bacon, and sausage, and had a huge amount of butter and cream.

“Don’t you have to attend a ball today?”

Sigrid nodded her head.

Arcana smiled. He took a napkin and wiped Sigrid’s lips. “And you eat like this?”

“It’s goof to have a healthy breakfast. Also, the ball is in the evening?”

‘What does the ball have to do with breakfast?’ Sigrid tilted her head.

Arcana shook his head. “No, nothing.”

“Arcana? What are you going to do today?”

“I’m going to do as usual.”

“Magic Studies?”

“Right.”

“Are you not planning to go to the ice tower anymore?”
