Chapter 47: The Feeling Of Killing And Consultant Maid (1/2)

”Are you curious?”

Aleshia asked Lawrend inquisitively.

”Yes. Please tell me truthfully.”

Lawrend bowed his head to her. He was desperate to know if it was only him that didn't feel anything.

”Hmmmm… Where should I start? Ah! When I first killed someone, I was so scared. I didn't want to do it again, but my circumstances didn't allow me to. In the end, I killed my second one. When I killed my second one, although it was suffocating, it wasn't as bad as my first one. It was a pattern that went on until today, I don't feel anything anymore.”

Aleshia pondered before explaining to Lawrend what she felt when she killed people.

”You don't feel anything anymore… I see. Thanks.”

Lawrend pondered to himself before thanking her.

'So the me in my past life is a killer?'

Lawrend thought to himself in confusion. Why would the past him be a killer? It doesn't make any sense. He could only find out in the future if his guess was correct.

”You don't have to thank me, Young Master. You can talk to me about your problem.”

Aleshia responded with a smile on her face. She could tell that something was bothering Lawrend right now.

”It's nothing.”

Lawrend shook his head at her. He doesn't know how he would explain to her that he remembers some memories of his past life.

”If it's bothering you, Young Master. You can look away. I won't laugh at you.”

Aleshia comforted him. Even if Lawrend tries to hide it from her, it's so obvious that he's thinking of something.

”Alright.”

Lawrend sighed and turned his head away. It was not bothering him. That was the problem. He wanted it to bother him, but he just felt nothing when she killed the bandit leader.

It didn't take long for Aleshia to slit the necks of all of the bandits. It created a large pool of red blood. Its stench was gut-wrenching.

”Young Master, do you want to loot them? I'm sure they have valuable stuff with them.”

Aleshia suggested to Lawrend. Bandits are always ambushing many passing merchant carriages and without any guards, they would attack and plunder.

”...Money is money.”

Lawrend gritted his teeth and reluctantly agreed. If he could get some money from the bandits to offset the cost that he incurred in this journey, then he wouldn't complain that much.

”Help me, Young Master.”

Aleshia walked to a corpse and started searching through its pockets. It didn't take long before she's able to pull out several banknotes of gold.

Lawrend frowned as he stepped on the pool of blood and searched through the pockets of a body.

It took them a quarter of an hour before they were able to load the loot they got from the bandits inside the carriage. It included dozens of short swords and at least more than a dozen thousand gold worth of banknotes.

”That's a lot.”

Lawrend couldn't help but say as he looked at it all loaded inside the carriage. There were some boxes inside the carriage before but now it looked so cluttered with all of the looted stuff.

”Yes, Young Master. Bandits are very wealthy.”
