25 Fertilizer for Better Harves (2/2)

Seeing that stare, I was confused and demanded,

”What is that stare for?”

”Hum” Lily puffed out her cheeks and cast her gaze away.

'This… Did I do something wrong? She must have been bored and got dejected since I ignore her yawning sign.' I thought confused while scratching my cheek with my forefinger.

”Okay-okay, here... have some candy.” Then, I take out one candy out of the box and gave it to her.

Lily immediately take it from my hand and the resentful stare on her face was gone and change into a smile as if it never has been in the first place.

'A 10 years old child in this world sure is simple! Or is it just Lily being the special case here?' I cast that thought aside as we get into the mansion.

After that, I wait at the office with Lily until I hear a knock at the door. As I give my confirmation, a woman with a sharp gaze came from outside before salute to me.

”You called, Young Master?”

I nod my head and said while pointing at Lily, ”The reason I call you here was to teach this girl some common sense and basic ethics.”

As Lily had been asleep for more than a millennium and her past memory was gone except some basic memory to functions as a normal human being, I decided to have the head maid Tia teach her.

Just then, Tia gaze her eyes to Lily strangely before gazing back at me with a cold glint in her eyes before asking with a hidden malice in it,

”Isn't she being too early to be a bride? I suggest waiting two to three more years as that were the normal ages for nobles to get wed.”

'Pfthhhh…. A bride? A bride you head! And what is with two to three more years? 13 or 14 years old having a marriage? Is that even allowed? Oh yeah, this was a world of Fantasy Medieval Age.' I was lost for word to say as I hear what Tia just said.

”Me? A bride?” Lily was blushing shyly while holding her red tomato cheeks with her two hands.

'Why are you blushing? It's cute alright but this doesn't make sense.' I shake my head with a dim expression. 'I think my reputation was getting worse and worse after I bring her.'

Now that I think about it, for a Lord of a fief bringing a pretty girl around his age to his home. Aren't that asking for a beating? I mean like I was digging my own grave unknowingly.

”Ahem… No, it wasn't for that, she was my junior Lily. She had spent all of her life studying under my Master so her common sense of the world and basic ethics might be lacking, that's why I ask you to teach her.” I explain half-truthfully with a make-up story.

”Ah… So that what it is? If it was for Young Master's Master, then I will happily do it!” Tia nods in agreement while not minding her misunderstanding before.

Hearing what she said, it makes me confused as to what makes her motivation quite apparent.

”Why so?” My expression was a bit intrigued as I clenched my hands in front of my face.

”One of his invention called 'soap' was so wonderful, it was popular for the females especially servant at the mansion,” Tia said as she holds her chin.

”Is that so? Then I will entrust her to you.” I was surprised that a woman with a sadistic tendency like her will like that kind of thing. Indeed, the mind of a woman is hard to tell.

Just having said that, I gaze at Lily at the side and told her to follow Tia's instruction. Although she refused at first with shaking her head adamantly, after I promise her another reward if she finishes her lecture, she agreed.

Then, Lily and Tia leave the office as they went to another room in the mansion to get Lily lectured.

After having finished all of that, I decided to make an official tour or inspection in the town tomorrow and see what people's reactions from the inventions I had sold at the Fortuna Chamber of Commerce. I also plan to gather capable people that might potentially be useful.

Also, I decided to continue my sword training with Sir Gareth at the field after haven't done so for a few days since I was so busy doing counter-invasion and expedition.

When the sun was setting to the west, I finished my training and went back to the mansion to have dinner with Lily.

She was wearing a black gothic dress that was perfect with her white-colored hair. This was a scenery that was epic to see, a gothic loli. I had Vonix take a photo of her, so it didn't fade in my memory.

The dinner went smoothly only if she didn't have to eat three portions more than I had. The other servants were flabbergasted and were opening their mouth so big that if someone were to place an egg, it will fit inside. They were shocked by how much of a glutton she was.

'Where does she even store all of that?' I ask a question that will never be answered.
