Chapter 43: Crazed Assassin And Lawrend Makes A Move (2/2)

”I still don't feel anything…”

Lawrend touched his rapidly beating heart in unease. Aside from nervousness, he didn't feel despondent to see her dead. It was an alien feeling to Lawrend. It was similar to what he felt when he saw the scene of the gory bloody parts of the goblins falling from the sky inside his head.

”Y-Young Master…”

Aleshia looked at Lawrend with her reddened eyes. The powder that hit her eyes irritated it, turning her eyes red. Right now her heart is rapidly beating in anxiety. What if Lawrend goes crazy again? She couldn't help but think of that.

”I'm okay, Aleshia.”

Lawrend turned his head towards her and smiled at her in assurance. It was not fun killing someone, that, he was sure. But when he saw Aleshia's appearance, he felt a pang in his heart.

”I'm relieved, Young Master.”

Aleshia felt that it was weird that Lawrend didn't react that much when he killed someone with his own hands. Maybe it was because the trauma from last time affected him. Or it could be that he knew that it was something that he got to do no matter what.

”Are your eyes okay?”

Lawrend asked her in worry. He was okay, just tired from casting a spell, but her eyes were so red that he couldn't help but worry.

”It's just cornstarch, Young Master. I just didn't expect her to do that. I still have a lot to learn as an assassin.”

Aleshia sighed in defeat. For her, it was the most embarrassing thing to happen to her as an assassin. She let her guard down and allowed her enemy to blind her eyes temporarily.

”That's a relief then.”

Lawrend slumped his back more freely after hearing her words.

”Huh? You seem to be concerned about me, Young Master?”

Aleshia asked in confusion. He never did that before.

”Of course, you're my maid after all.”

Lawrend gave her a wide grin. It was something to ease his tense body that was still running on adrenaline.

”Your maid…”

Aleshia murmured with a blank expression. She didn't think that Lawrend would be so concerned about her just because she was his maid. It honestly made her quite happy.

”Are you okay?”

Lawrend couldn't help but ask her after seeing her stare into his face blankly.

”I-I'm fine. Right, Young Master, why don't we remove the b-blood contract now?”

Aleshia stuttered in embarrassment. She knew what her words meant. But if it could ease this guilt that was building inside her heart. She doesn't think that it's that bad. It was just a kiss. Nothing special about it. Yep, nothing special. It's not like she's gonna get pregnant with one.

”W-Why?”

Lawrend stuttered as he gulped a mouthful of his saliva. It was hard to think straight when a beautiful girl just offered herself to kiss you.

”I think I can trust you, Young Master. Let me work for you with sincerity.”

Aleshia felt her emotions welling up with her words. It somehow felt refreshing to be the one doing this. She felt like she was being true to Lawrend for once.
