[VOLUME 3] {Chapter 1} The Celestial Clan’s Head Comes to Visit
Volume 3: There are always some messy people in the royal party
-----------------
After spending half an hour with Atala in the bathroom, Anna finally returned to the bedroom and was tormented by the furious Helga until 2 am before falling into a deep sleep.
When Anna woke up, it seemed that the sky outside was still dimly lit.
“Awake?”
Helga, already dressed, was sitting by the bed with an open book in her hands, reading its contents.
No matter how you looked at it, it seemed as if Helga was deliberately waiting for Anna to wake up.
“...When did you wake up?”
Seeing Helga still reading and not noticing that Anna was awake, Anna spoke up.
Helga paused for a moment while turning the page, then continued to the next page:
“At eight o'clock.”
“...And you?”
“Nothing to do.” Helga continued, “So I just came to watch over you and waited for you to wake up.”
“You really have nothing to do.”
Anna teased, struggling to get up from the bed.
“After all that last night, you're only getting up now...” Seeing the clock's hands already pointing to eleven, Anna was slightly surprised.
“Is Lou here?”
“Not yet, otherwise I would have woken you up.”
Having finished a section, Helga closed the book and placed it on the bedside table.
“Then... why is it so dark outside?”
“Because it's raining...” Helga turned her head, looking at Anna with a gaze as if she were an idiot, “Babe, still not fully awake?”
“It's just been so long since it last rained, I didn't react immediately...”
When they were in the town, it hadn't rained for over ten days, and since coming to the capital, Anna hadn't seen any rain either.
It was said that the day after Anna left the town, there was heavy rain. Upon hearing this news, Anna thought she had become a sunshine girl, bringing clear skies wherever she went...
Walking to the window, watching the visible drizzle outside, Anna couldn't help but felt a bit worried.
“I wonder how Lou is doing...”
“Don't worry, Louise is definitely fine.” Helga was nonchalant, “Unless that captured Balin is actually an S-class professional, even an A-class professional would find it hard to escape from a noble's prison.”
“Moreover, Atala and the old butler from the Latimir family captured him yesterday, right? This Balin isn't that powerful.”
“I'm just worried about... some other accidents.”
“What other accident could there be... you worry too much.” Helga patted the bed, “Come here!”
“?”
Anna sat down beside Helga, puzzled, and before she could say anything, Helga leaned in——
“Mwah~”
A simple kiss, quick and refreshing.
“That's a good morning kiss~” After separating from Anna, Helga winked at her, “Feeling better now?”
“...Much better.”
Seeing Helga like this, Anna couldn't help but laugh.
“Well... as long as you're feeling better.” Helga said, fiddling with her fingers, “The novel Anna brought is really interesting.”
“...Huh?” Anna didn't understand why Helga suddenly mentioned her novel...
Come to think of it, she had hidden the novel and hadn't told Helga and Louise where she hid it... right?
“I didn't expect Anna to like novels where the protagonist gets pushed down... hehe..."
“...???”
Suddenly realizing something, Anna immediately looked at the bedside table, where the cover of the imported romance novel from the Iveg Empire, “About How I Always Get Pushed Down by My Girlfriend and Can't Resist,” caught her eye...
“You you you... how did you find it!?”
“It was under the bed, easy to spot.” Helga teased, “Your hiding skills are really bad.”
“The only place to hide things in the whole room is under the bed!” Anna retorted, blushing.
“Your study has secret compartments, right? You should hide it there...”
“That compartment is too small, can't fit many books...”
“Then just put the novel on the shelf, we wouldn't look at it anyway.”
“Wuwu...”
Although she didn't feel completely mortified, Anna still felt a bit shy.
“What are you two doing?”
However, Atala's appearance interrupted their conversation.
“Atala...? What's up?” Seeing Atala at the door without entering the room, Anna admitted guiltily to Helga beside her, then calmly asked.
“It's time to eat... I've called you several times.” Atala slightly winked at Anna, her face still expressionless.
“...Helga, did you hear that?”
“No, not at all.”
“Well, you've heard it now, right?” Atala sobbed.
...
Since it was already autumn, and with the rain outside, although some rooms were equipped with small warming spells, places like corridors, due to the high mana consumption, couldn't sustain the magic stones, so those small spells weren't set up.
It was said that mana conduits were being laid here, and once the pipes were completed in a few days, the entire mansion could be equipped with these warming spells, even setting up a warning array wouldn't be a problem.
Is this the charm of technology?
Sitting in her seat, Anna exhaled and shivered.
“The corridor is so cold...”
Fortunately, the dining room was also equipped with such a small spell, otherwise, in such a cold environment, the already prepared food might need to be reheated.
However, just as Anna, who had just woken up and was starving from last night's physical exertion, eagerly picked up her fork to eat the noodles, a maid rushed over.
“Master, someone is here to visit.”
These maids brought by Helga and Louise naturally also addressed Anna as master... Anna wasn't quite used to being called master, having been poor for so long.
“Someone's visiting, is it Lou?” Anna instinctively thought of Louise.
“If it were Louise, why would the maid need to it?” Helga teased.
“...Right,” Anna nodded, then looked at the maid, “Did the person give their name?”
“Yes, but no surname... he said his name is Byran.”
“...Byran?”
Anna was stunned, feeling that the name was quite familiar but couldn't remember who it was.
“He also has very red hair.”
...Isn't that the leader of the Celestial Clan!?
