Chapter 28: Aleshias Confusion (1/2)

”It's nothing.”

Aleshia replied with a straight face.

”I will go get grass outside.”

Lawrend stood up and left the slime on the chair before he walked outside. Aleshia also stood up and followed him outside. It was her duty to protect him after all.

Lawrend didn't have to look far as there is grass growing all around the house that they rented. It was obvious that no one lives here anymore as the grass was left long and free to grow.

Aleshia stood beside him and watched him pluck the grasses.

Lawrend had already grabbed a bundle of grasses when he stopped and looked at Aleshia with an odd look on his face.

”Aren't we forgetting something important right now?”

Lawrend asked. He just realized something but he couldn't put it into words.

”You should be the one doing this. Not me.”

Lawrend stood up with an awkward smile on his face. It took a while but he realized that as her Young Master, she should be the one doing such menial tasks. He got too nervous earlier that he forgot about it.

”I understand, Young Master.”

Aleshia bowed. She has no complaints. It was her job to be his maid after all. As long as Lawrend does not do anything against her she will fulfill it to the end.

”Thank you.”

Lawrend entered the house and released a huge sigh of relief. Speaking to her after what happened earlier took a huge toll on his mind. He became afraid that she was gonna pull her dagger once again.

Lawrend picked up the slime and sat on the chair as he waited for her to finish. He picked up a book and started reading a book about magic.

This room was actually a dining room. As this house was very small, when you enter through the door, you would be in the dining room. There were 4 chairs on the small square table.

The slime was on the table while Lawrend rested his arms on the table while reading the book in his hands.

A few minutes later, Aleshia came inside with a huge bundle of grass in her hand. She was holding onto it by clamping it down with both of her hands.

Aleshia glanced at Lawrend with the slime on the table. She walked towards him and caught his attention.

”Young Master, where should I put this?”

Lawrend turned his head towards her.
